Was it wrong tofort a friend who''s feeling downhearted?


    It didn''t seem right. Sophia must be making up an excuse to refuse him.


    At the thought, Colin got off the bed and strode towards Sophia''s bedroom. He tried to push the door open, but it was locked.


    To avoid disturbing Le, Colin took the key from downstairs. He opened the door and walked into the room.


    Inside, Sophia was talking to Hugh on the phone. "Well, alright... I maye back during the Spring Festival."


    She hadn''t mentioned that she woulde back to Country A with Colin. Wait, how did Colin get inside?


    Sophia was surprised when she saw Colin in front of her. He had entered and closed the door without making a sound.


    Hugh continued talking to her on the phone. "Sophia, I heard Le has alsoe to Z Country. Have you met?"


    "Yes, we''ve met. She''s living with me!" Despite the rage clearly visible on Colin''s face, Sophia gave a honest answer.


    She stood up with the mobile phone in her hand. Walking to the wardrobe, she took her pajamas andpletely ignored Colin.


    Hugh understood that Le''s arrival would surely cause a rift between Sophia and Colin. For Sophia''s happiness, he said, "Sophia, you know Colin and Le''s rtionship well. But Lelia is anything but cruel. She won''t fight back unless she''s provoked. She''s unlikely to hurt you as long as there''s no serious conflict between you two.


    Just treat her as Colin''s sister. Don''t think too much, alright?"


    Sophia was silent.


    Was Le really that wonderful? Why were both Colin and Brother Hugh defending her?


    "I understand, Hugh. Take good care of yourself, and don''t work too hard!" She quietly put her pajamas in the bed, not even ncing at the man on the other side of the bed.


    Colin narrowed his eyes at her thoughtful words. "Come to bed, love."


    ...


    Colin spoke so loudly


    “Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is thest woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.


    “Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.


    Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...


    s... that she... she... she just hit Colin in the face.


    This was bad. How could she provoke Colin again?


    "Sophia!" Colin ground his teeth.


    Sophia''s drowsiness immediately vanished. Swallowing nervously, she smiled and threw her arms around his neck. "Colin, it was an ident."


    "An ident?" Colin''s response made Sophia scream.


    Oh... Colin... He actually... It was indescribable.


    ...


    The bathroom was a mess, and water was all over the floor. Colin adjusted the temperature in the room before taking Sophia out of the bathtub.


    He put her on the bed. Wrapping her hair in a bath towel, he gently dried up the sleepy woman.


    Finally, he dried her hair with a hair dryer. His gentle fingers massaging her scalp was sofortable, she quickly fell asleep. She slept soundly until the next morning.


    If her mobile phone rm hadn''t woken her up, she''d wake up at noon.


    The other side of the bed was empty, Colin had already left.


    She didn''t know if he leftst night or this morning.


    Despite the obvious difort in her body, she quickly fixed herself up and rushed to get to work on time. Since her rtionship with Colin had be public knowledge, any mistake on her part might negatively affect Colin.
