Of course, Dorothy's baby was important. If Dorothy can't hold her baby in her arms, how could she experience Sophia's suffering?
"Bye, Colin. Be careful on your way back." When Dorothy moved to walk Colin to the door, he refused.
After Colin left, Marcella and Dorothy beamed at each other. "Our time has finally come! My daughter will become a queen." Marcella said proudly.
"Mom, after I get married, I'll use things of the best quality. I'll enjoy the most delicious food. We should hire a Michelin-starred chef. I know you love French cuisine. I'll reserve all the tables in this restaurant, so you can enjoy your meals by yourself." Dorothy was quick to please her mother.
"Oh, my daughter, you're so kind to your mother."
After leaving the restaurant, Colin rubbed his grumbling stomach and called Sophia. "Where are you?"
"I'm cooking dinner at home." Sophia answered. Since it wasn't busy at the office, she went home early.
"Wait for me. I'm on my way." Hanging up the phone, he got into his Cayenne and told Aaron to take them home.
After the call, Sophia wondered if Colin meant he would come and have dinner with her.
It seemed that was the case. She decided to cook more dishes.
When Colin and Aaron entered the Lo House, Sophia had finished preparing dinner. "Wash your hands before eating."
"Okay." Aaron went to the toilet first.
Colin gathered Sophia in his arms and kissed her passionately.
Sophia was confused. What's going on? Why did Colin suddenly kiss her?
When the bathroom door opened, Sophia pushed Colin away. She blushed in embarrassment and didn't look at him. "Hurry up and wash your hands!"
Smiling fondly, Colin went to the bathroom.
The three had a quiet dinner. Wiping his mouth, Aaron said, "I'm going out tonight. I'll leave you two alone to have fun."
Sophia glared at her brother fiercely. But Colin nodded in satisfaction. "If you need a place to stay, you can get a free room at the No. 8 Cruise Ship."
"Thank you, brother." Aaron replied gratefully. He bid them goodbye and left.
Sophia cleaned the kitchen while Colin sat on the couch
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
away, but Colin held onto her waist and kissed her hair.
They laughed cheerfully as they strolled around. After leaving the neighborhood, they walked to the river and followed it for a while before coming back home.
When Sophia got out of the bathroom, Colin was on the phone by the window. "That's good news. Don't worry about the money, finding a match is what matters. Alright. If you have other information, call me."
Colin hung up the phone and turned around to find Sophia standing behind him. Sophia was looking at him in a daze. Colin embraced her. "What are you thinking of?"
Sophia hesitated to ask, "Are you in trouble?"
Colin was startled by Sophia's question. He shook his head. "No, I'm not. Where did this come from? There's a two-year-old girl suffering from uremia, and she needs a kidney. Wade called me to report that they've found her a donor."
A two-year-old girl? If Colin hadn't mentioned the girl, she would've forgotten the girl she saw.
Did Colin mean his daughter? The girl who called him dad?
At the thought, Sophia's hands started to tremble. How many secrets were Colin keeping from her? "Whose daughter is she?"
Colin didn't know what she was thinking about. He frowned and answered, "Maeve's daughter."
His response came as a great shock to Sophia. Her mind went blank. Ambrose was Colin's son with an unknown woman, and Colin also had a daughter with Maeve.
