Chapter 270 Heartbreaking
But then he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He realized that the video was sent by Sophia.
Curious as he was, he hurriedly clicked on it. The video showed a beautiful and charming Sophia,
addressing him with many good wishes. However, he was right all along. Sophia''s New Year''s gift to
him was her pregnancy.
Her face flushed red when she mentioned it in the video. Maybe she was shy or it could be that she
wasn''t sure how Colin would react.
It seemed that the video was shot in advance.
Colin reyed the video three more times. Then he finally closed theptop, walked out of the guest
room, and returned to the bedroom. He was feeling mixed emotions, but he was really happy.
On the morning of the Lunar New Year''s Day, Sophia was still lying on her bed. She rubbed her eyes
and groggily rolled over. However, her face pressed onto a warm hard object. Wait, what was that? She
wondered if she had fallen onto the floor or hit the wall.
She rubbed her eyes again, and saw Colin''s solid, muscr chest.
That jerk! Sophia was surprised and a bit angered. She pped Colin''s shoulder.
Colin just chuckled and opened his eyes. He knew what just happened and he found it very amusing.
He gazed at Sophia''s surprised face and lovingly said, "Happy New Year, honey."
"Who is your honey! I''m not your honey! Tell me, how did you sneak in?" Sophia freed herself from his
arms, and sat up on the bed.
She remembered that she had already locked the doorst night. How did he get in here?
Colin embraced her again. "That''s not important. Sleep some more. I''m just right here."
Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Ambrose''s familiar voice came from the outside, "Dad,
mom, happy new year! I wish you two the best! I love you, both!"
Colin was frustrated and confused. His son never got up in time on school days. How could he get up
so early on a holiday? Oh, children these days!
Sophia got off the bed, and opened the door for Ambrose. The little guy was wearing a light gray down
jacket today. He looked really handsome on it. Standing at the door, he grinned to Sophia, expecting
her to carry him. With a smile, Sophia picked him up, "I wish you the best too, dear Brody!"
She carried him into the bedroom, took out the red pocket* she prepared for him from her handbag and
presented it to him.
(*TN: In Chinese tradition, money given to children as a lunar New Year gift will be wrapped in red
paper.)
Ambrose kissed the red pocket in total excitement and jubtion, "Thank you, mom! My mom is really
the best!"
Ever since he learned that Sophia was his real mother, Ambrose had told everyone in his school that
his mother was back with him again. He was so proud of his family.
In return, the other kids looked at him with admiration, saying that he was so good-looking and his
mother must be very beautiful too.
Ambrose then promised everyone that when the school started, he would ask his mother to send him to

school so that everyone could meet his mother!
"Don''t have your mom carry you again. You are not a little boy anymore. You are heavy already!" With
that said, Colin got up from the bed and immediately went to the bathroom.
Ambrose red at his father in discontent, "Dad, you haven''t given me any gift yet. I''m your son!"
Colin replied with wit, "Your mother and I are one already. You can consider her gift as mine."
Ambrose put on a sour expression. His father was so petty and cheap!
The love and hate rtionship between the father and son had always amused Sophia. She told
Ambrose, "Wait for mom for a few minutes. I need to wash and change."
As Joseph and the family have already arrived from C Country, Sophia decided to visit the elders on
the morning of the Lunar New Year''s Day. During the visit, she was given a lot of New Year lucky
money.
And she had heard of Cole and Justina''s marriage justst night.
Since she and Colin weren''t married yet, she intended to spend the spring festival in the Lo''s House at
the beginning of the festivities.
However, Colin would not allow her to leave him. He forced her to stay.
"I can''t leave Aaron at home alone by himself!" Sophia objected. She knew that Colin would not let her
leave him.
"He''s with his father and grandfather! He''s already a grown-up!"
"I miss my father and grandfather too! I have to see them too!" Sophia eximed out loud.
Colin nodded in consent primly. "Okay. But tomorrow, my aunt and uncle wille over. You can only
visit Jay and Josh the day after tomorrow. Would that be all right for you?"
Sophia was utterly speechless again. Colin really knew how to get what he wanted. She intended to
decline, but still agreed at the end. It was the lunar new year, and one was supposed to grant whatever
was requested. She would not end traditional ties just like that.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Harry brought the whole family back to visit the elders as
usual. This time, he had also brought several children with him. The Li Manor was filled with good
cheers. Children would always make the mood livelier.
Amidst the boisterous atmosphere, Herring pulled Sophia aside to talk to her, "Little Sophia, think for
my brother. He has done so many things for you. He has always been so nice for you! Aren''t you
touched by his love and care? Won''t you ever repay his kindness?"
Herring felt moved from time to time whenever he thought of Colin''s undying love for Sophia.
Sophia knew that too. But her gratitude for Colin kind of faded ever since that time she talked to
Dorothy. How could she be happy if Colin was just pretending to pursue her? "I am aware of that. I''ve
heard that Colin is still looking for the right kidney donor. Hasn''t he found the donor yet?"
Herring thought for a while. "Perhaps. But I don''t know the full details regarding it. What''s wrong with it?
Why are you asking?"
"Nothing, really. It just popped out of my mind. I''m still worried about him. After all, even you said that
he has done many good things for me. But don''t tell him that I asked." She needed to make her own
judgement based on facts, not just on assumptions.
"Okay, I wish I have satisfied you with my responses. I''ll tell you everything I know." Herring didn''t think
much anymore. He merely wanted to help. After all, Colin and Sophia had a veryplicated
rtionship. He has been an avid fan of their love team. It was his ultimate desire that they reconcile.
Sophia nodded, but she suddenly thought of something and changed the subject. She then asked in a
casual voice, "How old is Colin''s daughter now?"
Upon hearing that, Herring nced at Sophia in utter confusion. However, he saw nothing but mere
calmness in her. It seemed Colin had already told her about Nana. "Less than two years old. She''s a
good girl.
It''s a pity that she suffers from hereditary uremia. But she''s really beautiful and kind."
Sophia fell silent at his words. She didn''t know what to say nor even think. She felt a little frustrated that
she can''t do anything about it. So every word Dorothy said was actually true?
If Herring could just read her mind, he knew that he should just shut up and not say anything about it
anymore.
But apparently, he had no idea what Sophia was thinking about. He continued in a merry tone, "Oh, I''ve
heard that you''re pregnant! Colin must be overjoyed. Look, how nice he has been to you. You should
cherish him, Sophia! You will have his child!"
Sophia didn''t speak another word. She forced a smile as she was fighting the impulse of telling the
man in front what Colin''s true purpose was.
But she finally resisted the urge. She was not that kind of woman. She didn''t want this kind of truth to
On the third day of the festivities, Colin insisted that he would apany Sophia in visiting her father
and grandfather.
Their new residence was very safe indeed. They lived in a militarypound. They were well-
protected in here.
The moment when Sophia saw her loved ones, she felt like she was in a dream. How she longed to
finally see them again!
Josh, the person she really thought was dead already, was standing in front of her. It was almost like a
reunion in the underworld. She just couldn''t believe her eyes.
Colin joined Sophia, Josh, Jay and Aaron during dinner.
Out of gratitude, Josh and Jay extended a warm and loving wee to Colin. They basked him with
hospitality and treated him as they would a part of the family.
And even when Sophia and Colin were about to leave, Jay personally walked them to Colin''s car. His
eyes followed them as their car disappeared at the end of the road.
However, sadness grew in Sophia''s heart with each day that passed. The Spring Festival had finally
The 20th day of the Lunar New Year
After she dropped Ambrose off at his school, Sophia drove to a nearby coffee shop.
As Colin had ordered, Aaron apanied her. For the sake of Sophia''s safety, Colin had explicitly
asked him to be with her everywhere she went.
As they made their way inside the coffee shop. Aaron curiously asked, "Sister, who are you meeting
here?"
Sophia rolled her eyes at him and responded in a slightly annoyed tone, "I''m here for a blind date.
Why?"
Aaron was taken aback. His eyes widened at this thought, and stared at her with his eyebrows raised,
"Blind date? What blind date? What do you mean?"
Before Sophia could even answer, a man''s voice came from behind her. "Sophia, long time no see!"
It was Flynn.
Sophia respectfully gestured to him, "Have a seat, Mr. Flynn! How are you?"
Aaron gasped in disbelief. He turned to Sophia, "Your blind date is Flynn? Really?!"
Flynn whistled to him. "Indeed. I''m going to be your brother-inw, you brat. You don''t have any choice
now, do you?"
Then Aaron blurted out in disgust, "Sister, but you''re already bearing Colin''s child! How can you go on
a blind date! That''s not being a good woman!"
Sophia smirked, "I know. I want his child to be fathered by another man. I know what I''m doing,
brother." That was just like what Colin had done to Ambrose. Now, she got to do the same thing to him.
