SWNOVELS Chapter 238 Once I'm Certain
Sophia shook her head. "I can eat anything. Aren't you busy with work? You don't have to stay with me."
"Did I mention that I want to stay with you?" Colin teased with a smile.
As he expected, Sophia flushed in embarrassment. "Oh, it seems I was flattering myself!"
Colin couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"I do want to stay with you." Sophia rolled her eyes.
They went to the supermarket. But because Sophia felt extremely lethargic, she didn't get out the car.
Colin came back as soon as he finished shopping.
When they arrived at the Redbud Mansion, Colin kicked the bedroom door open while holding Sophia and carrying a plastic bag in his arms. He settled her on the bed.
By the time Colin finished making lunch, it was past 1 o'clock. He went to the bedroom to wake Sophia up.
She seemed to be dazed the whole time she was having lunch. Sophia quickly finished her meal and dashed back to bedroom after wiping her lips.
Colin grinned as he stared at her retreating figure. She was so delicate, it seems she needed to exercise more.
In the afternoon, Colin shut his cellphone off and slept with Sophia in his arms.
At Patrick's Villa
When Dorothy woke up, she found herself alone with the servants in the house.
Looking at the marks on her body, she remembered Colin and couldn't help laughing out loud.
But she felt strange when she realized that Colin wasn't present.
Since they slept together, she assumed that Colin would treat her better.
After calling him, she find out that his phone was turned off.
Did it run out battery? Without thinking much about it, she left her brother's villa after she cleaned herself up.
At the Lien Villa
Dorothy looked bright when she walked in. Marcella took her daughter's hand and said, "How was it? Did you...?"
Dorothy nodded bashfully. "Mom, I did it!"
Marcella clapped her hands in delight. She hadn't been this excited for a long time. But her face suddenly turned somber. "What happened with you last night? I was so embarrassed!"
At her mother's reminder, Dorothy remembered the bizarre things she did. But she had no idea either. "I don't know what happened to me. Did someone drug my drink?" One thing was for certain. Someone intended to embarrass her.
"Could it have been Sophia?" Marcella asked. Sophia was the first suspect that Marcella thought of because she was also present last night. It couldn't be anyone but her. Suddenly recalling something Dorothy gritted her teeth and pulled out the lipstick from her bag. "It must've been Sophia. The lipstick she gave me must've been tampered with!" "She gave you a lipstick?" Marcella was surprised. She didn't think Sophia was kind enough to give her daughter a gift.
Dorothy took out her phone and kept scanning the lipstick for a QR code, but it didn't scan anything. She had fallen into Sophia's trap. "Mom, she must've put something on the lipstick!" She did all those scandalous things immediately after applying it.
"It's fine. I bet Sophia never expected that she would cause Colin to slide into your bed. You may have to thank her for that!"
"Yeah, I should really thank her!"
The mother and daughter laughed gleefully.
"I'll let her off this time. But she'll get what's coming to her when Colin and I get married!"
"After you become his wife, Colin will fix things for you even if you hire someone to kill her!"
"Definitely! Mom, the drug you gave really worked!" Dorothy blushed when she remembered how gallant Colin was last night.
"Of course! Colin couldn't connect it to us even if he went to the hospital to test it. Come, let's go shopping. I'm in a great mood, I'll buy you several expensive dresses!" The two women grabbed their purses and went out.
The sky grew darker. In the Redbud Mansion, Sophia gradually opened her eyes and felt a strong chest pressed against her back.
What? Was Colin here?
She quietly turned over and found Colin staring at his cellphone. Noticing Sophia was up, he closed the app and locked the screen.
"Awake?"
"Yeah. What time is it?" Since she had a good sleep, she probably wouldn't be able to get some sleep that night.
"It's past six. Do you want to get up?" Colin kissed her long hair.
Sophia rubbed her eyes. "Yes. I promised to go out shopping with Aaron tonight." She always worried about her brother because Aaron didn't know how to take care of himself.
Colin frowned. "Why don't you buy me clothes?"
Sophia wanted to say that he had a fiancee. But since they were having a wonderful moment, she didn't want to ruin it. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Do you really want new clothes? How about I make you some?"
Colin nodded. "That's good! I want you to design and create it yourself. And I want it to be unique.
That shouldn't be a problem for a designer like you."
"Okay! I'll go back home tonight, and you should spend more time with Brody." Since Colin was busy with work everyday, Ambrose must be very lonely.
"Okay." Placing his palm on her stomach, Colin whispered in her ear, "Are there any signs of..."
Knowing what he meant, Sophia flushed red. "I don't know. I'll tell you once I'm certain!"
Colin gave her a passionate kiss. "You should move in. It's not far from your office."
The Rosebud Mansion was much closer to the Pei Group than her house.
"Um... It depends on your performance!" Her playful response was the kind of thing that Colin used to tell her.
Colin laughed. "Naughty girl! Do you want to go for another round?"
Sophia quickly begged for mercy. "Please don't, Mr. Li. The soil will get ruined if you kept ploughing!"
Colin was extremely pleased at her response. He teased, "Really? But I've never heard of overcultivated soil, only of exhausted cattle." Sophia's eyes widened. "Jesus, I better shut up. I'm getting up!" When it came to dirty jokes, she was no match for an experienced man. Colin kissed her nose and slid his hands all over her body. He reluctantly released her when she begged him to.
Walking out of Redbud Mansion, Sophia called her brother. They decided to meet at the mall entrance.
When Colin dropped her off at the mall, they kissed goodbye before parting ways.
The Cayenne drove away. Sophia entered the mall with a cheerful smile on her face.
If she stopped thinking of distressing things like Colin's upcoming marriage with Dorothy, she realized that living with Colin made her feel wonderful...
When Aaron arrived, he found Sophia staring blankly at the jewelry counter. She was thinking of the ring that Colin gave her.
"Have you decided on anything? I'll buy it for you!" Aaron said. Following her gaze, he saw that she was looking at diamond jewelry.
Sophia snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No, I just remembered something. Come on, let me buy you some clothes."
"Sister, don't hesitate to tell me if you see something you like!" Aside from the money Colin funded him, he had made quite a bit of money for himself. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
