SWNOVELS Chapter 273 Sudden Death
Colin raised his eyebrows, and said, "Sophia, how could you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Flynn and almost get married? We'll settle this matter better when we get home!" He admitted that he was almost torn apart with jealousy when he saw Sophia and Flynn together there!
"Seriously? Settle the matter? Let's settle the matter with the children first!" Without showing any kind of emotion or remorse, she pointed to the side of the road, and said, "Go there!"
He was confused, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Sophia told him, "Let's split and go on our own separate ways!"
Colin was speechless when he heard her. He sighed, and begging helpless, he said, "Just think how much I care about you, not to mention about our child that you carry inside your womb... Let's leave all our misery in the past! What do you say? My dear and sweet wife?"
His endearing plea made Sophia blush. She said, "Don't call me wife!"
"Don't worry, you'll be my wife in a month!" He felt better when he thought of this. Their bright future was right there in front of them.
"Oh, I'm not worried at all!"
"I understand that you aren't in a hurry to be my wife, but I am, okay? My dear wife!" Sophia meant everything to him.
Although she grunted and looked out the window, as if she didn't care a bit about what he was saying, it was clear that she was delighted.
In just two days time, Colin took Sophia to take their wedding photos, snapping several hundred photos in both exterior and interior scenes.
They selected three sets of pictures and had them enlarged as much as it was possible and hanged them on the walls. One set was for the old house, one for the Redbud Mansion, and one set was for the Ninth Villa District.
Sophia had nothing to do except to eat and to sleep every day, and with Colin's attentive daily supervision, she actually gained quite a lot of weight.
As winter gave its way to spring, Sophia made three sets of spring clothes for Ambrose. He was so happy that he immediately wanted to throw away all of his other clothes and only wear what Sophia had made for him.
But Colin immediately stopped him, and said, "If you throw away all of your other clothes, you'll then have only three sets left, which are definitely not enough for you because you get dirty all the time. That means that your mother will have to make you clothes non stop! She already has a hard time as it is with her pregnancy, and she has no time to make clothes for you!"
Ambrose was speechless for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you're right..." He tucked his old clothes back into the wardrobe and remained silent.
When Sophia saw that Ambrose was so morose, she glared at the serious Colin, and said, "Can't you stop bullying my son already! Since he likes to wear what I make for him, I'll make him even more. By the way, I'm usually bored at home, so it's ok to spend my time doing something useful."
"Thanks mom, but really, it's okay, wait until my sister is born." Ambrose refused her, because he wanted his mother to get all the rest that she could before giving birth to the baby.
The father and son had an unspoken expectation that the baby would be a girl.
"That's all right. If I have time, then I'll make you some more clothes!" She then touched the little boy's head and comforted him, And Ambrose nodded in anticipation.
Colin's phone rang. He went into the study to answer it.
Sophia knew that he was going to be busy, and she helped Ambrose to tidy up his wardrobe.
Another few minutes later, Colin came back into the room, and said, "You can play with grandma now, Brody. Mom and dad have something important to discuss."
"Ok, dad, I'll go ahead!" Ambrose waved goodbye to his parents and then ran to Wendy's room.
Sophia stood up, and asked, "What happened?" Colin then took her in his arms and walked with her to the bedroom.
As soon as they entered the room, Colin closed the door behind him, and said, "Marcella died."
When Sophia heard the news, she was shocked, and her mind instantly went blank. "Who did you say was dead?" she asked.
"Marcella!" Colin repeated the name to her again.
Marcella had died so suddenly that he was also as stunned as she was.
When she slowly started to come back to her senses, Sophia still couldn't speak for a while, and instead just opened her mouth, without letting out a sound. Her mood was very complicated. She finally asked, "How did she die?"
"She was killed by Dorothy!"
Sophia was baffled speechless. It was too incredible and cruel to be true!
"Marcella went to the mental hospital and bribed her guards, and then she got rid of the nurses and got out with Dorothy." Colin's men had followed them.
According to them, when the two women reached Dorothy's car, for no apparent reason, they started to suddenly quarrel with each other Dorothy entered the car, and Marcella stepped in front of it to keep her from driving awa

She wanted to put the car in reverse but forgot, and when she stepped on the accelerator, she started the car with full speed ahead. Marcella was hit and instantly killed. It was a tragedy.
Sophia didn't know what to say when she heard Colin tell her the whole thing. "Where is Dorothy now?" she asked.
"She's at the police station!" Marcella had died on the spot, and Dorothy was scared. When the police had arrived at the scene, they had found Dorothy still standing next to Marcella. Sophia couldn't help but sigh at the thought of how fragile human life really was. Marcella was fine one moment, but dead in the next.
She had died so suddenly that no one had even thought of it.
"Don't think too much about it; Marcella deserved to die for the bad things she did, and even if she hadn't died, she still couldn't have escaped the law She was bound to go to jail sooner or later for a long, long time." In addition to the evil things Marcella had done to Sophia, she had also illegally raised funds to murder her
indebted family.
It was Marcella who had told Dorothy about Maeve, and that Ambrose was Colin and Sophia's child.
"Well, I'm not upset, but I was just thinking that... a healthy person suddenly died, and I feel a little... shocked, that's all."
Colin held her in his arms, and said,
herin
"People never know what will
happen next, so we should cherish the present moment we have. And that means, you should treasure me more from now on!" "Of course, I'll cherish you!"
Sophia softly smiled at him, and grumbled in a flirty kind of manner, "You're just trying to express your love for me, aren't you?"
"I am!" admitted Colin, and continued, "I swear that I will forever cherish you, Sophia!"
He swore to cherish Sophia his whole entire life, to treat her well, and to never let her leave him ever again!
"Well, I'll treasure you too, Colin!" As if she tried to coax a child, she gently stroke Colin's back.
The atmosphere in the room was warm and harmonious, and the hours and days went by quiet and beautiful.
Later, Colin told Sophia that Dorothy had really gone mad after killing her mother.
She had been locked back inside the mental hospital. She had become insane, often laughing for no reason, or shouting wildly at the people around her.
Aaron had looked into Julia's death at the tomb, and had found evidence that Jonas and Gregary had deliberately murdered her.
The evidence, along with the chip he found in grandpa's home, was handed to the police.
Gregary was taken to jail and sentenced to death, the execution time approaching for the next batch of prisoners.
Jonas was said to have fled to Las Vegas, where police officers had begun to cast their nets to catch him.
Sophia, who had recently been suffering from severe morning sickness, received a phone call while she was shopping with Selina.
It was Payne's mother.
At the time, Sophia was polite to her, because she had met the woman only twice when she was dating her son. Sophia thought that she was a nice and honest woman.
She wanted to meet up with her, and initially, Sophia hesitated, but eventually agreed.
Before that, she called to ask Colin about Payne's current whereabouts.
Knowing what she was going to do, Colin told her to wait at home and ask Aaron to pick her and Selina up.
The meeting took place at the gates of a large park near Payne's home, where Aaron and Selina met with Payne's mother.
Because she hadn't seen her for a long time, Sophia saw that Payne's mother had grown pretty old; her hair had whitened, and her skin had wrinkled.
