Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

When Colin told Ambrose that Sophia didn't go to work today, the boy wanted to seize the opportunity to hang out with Sophia.

"Okay. What do you want to eat, Brody? I'll take you out!" Sophia got up from the bed. There was a set of neatly folded clothes at the end of the bed.

It was a red and white coat and a long white undershirt. It was clearly prepared for her. Who sent them?

"Anything really. I'm not picky with food."

Sophia smiled brightly. She exclaimed with feigned exaggeration, "Wow! Brody is so lovely. You're not a picky eater! What a sweet kid!"

"Of course I am! Sophia, will you come to pick me up, or should I go to you? I want to spend time alone with you tonight, no Granny!"

Sophia could hear Wendy's complaints in the background. "You little bastard. Now that you have Sophia, you forget your Granny!"

Ambrose made a face at Wendy. "Definitely! Sophia is my favorite now!"

Sophia was rendered speechless by the boy's words. Clearing her throat, Sophia said, "You can wait for me there. I'll come over to pick you up." "Okay, Sophia. Hurry up! I can't wait to see you!"

"Okay, see you soon!"

"See you, Sophia!"

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Sophia's face didn't fade away. Ambrose was so lovely, and she loved him very much!

Sophia called Wade as she put on her clothes. "Hello, Mr. Ji!"

Wade was talking with people from the partner company. Seeing Sophia's phone call, he stepped aside to answer the phone. "Miss Lo, when are you free? You can come over and meet Sandy."

It seemed that Wade was back from his trip, but Sophia wasn't free tonight. "Mr. Ji, are you free tomorrow evening?"

"Yes, Miss Lo. Please call me again tomorrow and I'll come over to pick you up."

"Okay. Thank you, Mr Ji!" Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

But she was worried. When she met Sandy tomorrow. Would Sandy testify against Dorothy and Payne for her?

Speaking of Payne... Where was he now?

She hadn't seen Payne since she came back, nor did she hear any news about him. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Before going out, Sophia sent Colin a message. "Where's my car?"

By the time Sophia finished tidying up the bedroom and changing her shoes, Colin replied, "The key is on the table, and the car is in the garage downstairs."

"Thanks."

Sophia found the key on the table. Taking the car keys, she left the Redbud Mansion and headed for the Li Manor.

On the way, Sophia dropped by the supermarket to buy some gifts for the elders of the Li clan.

When she arrived at the Li Manor gate, the security guard let her in. It seemed they were told of her arrival in advance.

At the entrance of the villa, Ambrose was anxiously looking around. Seeing an unfamiliar car approaching, he immediately rushed over in excitement. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sophia smiled as she stopped the car at the entrance. Hearing Ambrose's cheer, Wendy went outside.

"Nice to see you again, Auntie, Brody." Sophia greeted the two when she got out of the car. Suddenly, Ambrose ran towards Sophia and flung himself onto her. Sophia hurriedly held Ambrose to prevent him from falling down.

"Watch out, Brody!" Wendy intended to talk to Sophia but immediately stopped when she saw her grandson's actions.

Sophia held the boy tightly. "It's alright, Auntie. I caught him!"

Ambrose kissed Sophia's face, eliciting a delighted laugh out of her. "Brody is taking advantage of me. I'll pay you back..." Smack! She kissed the boy on his smooth face.

Ambrose looked pleased. "Let's go, Sophia!" He couldn't wait to spend time with Sophia.

Placing Ambrose on the ground, Sophia took out the presents from the trunk of the car and came up to Wendy. "Auntie, are Grandpa and Grandma home?"

"No, they're in C Country. They've been living there since Cole got married."

"Oh, these are presents for them. Please accept them, Auntie."

Glancing at Sophia, Wendy didn't move to accept the gifts. "You don't need to get us anything. You're not an outsider."

Moved by Wendy's words, Sophia smiled and said in embarrassment, "I haven't visited Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Auntie for a long time. These gifts are just a little token of my affections. Please accept them."

Heaving a sigh, Wendy took her hands. "Alright, I'll accept them. But Sophia, please don't give up on Colin, alright? I want you and Colin to get back together!" She wanted Brody to have a complete family with Colin and Sophia.

Sophia looked sullen. "But Colin is getting married."

Ambrose suddenly jumped over and pouted in dissatisfaction. "I don't want Dad to marry Dorothy, Aunt Sophia!"

Sophia was speechless. Embarrassed, Sophia glanced at Wendy, who took over the gifts Sophia was carrying. "Have fun with aunt Sophia, Brody. I'll go back."

"Okay, Granny!"

Wendy went back inside. Sophia helped the boy on the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

After confirming with security, she drove away from the Li Manor.

On the way, Sophia contemplated on Ambrose's words. Wasn't Dorothy his mother? Who was his mother? She suddenly remembered the scene at the game room in the No. 8 Cruise Ship. Was it Maeve? Looking at the thoughtful Sophia, Ambrose said, "Aunt Sophia, can you convince Dad not to marry Dorothy?"

Hmm... How was she supposed to do that?

She was simply his ex-wife. It wasn't her place to dissuade Colin.

"Brody, don't you like Dorothy?" She asked instead.

Ambrose shook his head furiously. "No, I don't like her!"

Sophia eyed him from the corner of her eyes. "But Dorothy is the one your Dad likes. You should try and get along with her. She'll treat you well." Sophia didn't know what to say, but to persuade the boy to accept reality.

Crossing his arms over his chest, Ambrose looked outside the window in a huff. "If he marries Dorothy, I'll marry you!"

Sophia was rendered speechless. She smiled. "Let's talk about something else. Brody, what do you want to eat tonight?" "Granny said that Sophia likes fish. I want to eat fish, Sophia."

Ambrose's words moved Sophia. The little boy was very considerate. Colin and Wendy raised him well. "Do you like eating fish, Brody?"

"Of course. I like eating fish as much as you do! Let's go!" Ambrose wasn't lying. Like his mother, he liked eating fish very much. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
