Sophia was silent.
Colin grabbed Sophia's glass and took a swig. "Herring, do you want me to have a word with Shelly..."
"I was wrong, brother. Don't say any more, or I'll be single for the rest of my life!"
"You took my wife out to see other men! I won't forget this, Herring." Colin wrapped his arm around Sophia's shoulders tightly.
Because Sophia was squirming out of his grasp, he held onto her more firmly.
"Why are you blaming Herring? If not for him, I'd still be in the office working overtime. Is that what you want?" Thinking of this possibility made Sophia feel sad.
Colin slightly frowned. "Didn't I tell you that we were going to take Leila out today?"
She was the one who behaved unreasonably that morning, leaving without eating breakfast. He hadn't settled that with her yet.
And tonight, she followed Herring to this place and found herself a man! She was becoming more and more daring!
Sophia managed to remove Colin's arm and stood up, dragging him out of the room.
When Leila moved to prevent Colin from going out, Herring quickly stopped her. "Leila, the couple has some personal things to discuss. Let them go. Come on, let's have a toast..."
Sophia and Colin left, closing the door behind them. Leila turned her eyes from the door and faced Herring.
Sophia took Colin to the corridor outside. She found a dark room and pulled him in.
After turning on the lights, the two found themselves at a standstill.
Sophia was angrier than Colin had thought. Her voice was really loud. "Colin, don't you know that Leila likes you? How could you make me accompany her with you? Do you want me to see you two be affectionate with each other?"
No, that wasn't the case. Sophia inhaled sharply and lowered her voice. "I forgot that you also like her. Since you both love each other, why didn't you just get together before I came into the picture?"
Colin watched Sophia lose her temper without saying a word.
His silence enraged Sophia even more. She unconsciously raised her voice when she continued. "Why? I'm asking you! Even after we got married, you kept behaving inappropriately with her. It hurts when you do this in front of me! Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Finally, she said, "Colin, if you really love each other... I'll let you go and wish you both happiness!"
Sophia suddenly took out her phone and prepared to make a call.
"What are you doing?" Colin finally said something.
"Don't worry, I won't make you look bad. I'll just tell mom I'm the one who doesn't want to be with you anymore..."
Hearing that she was going to call Wendy, Colin grabbed her phone and put it into his pocket after turning it off.
"Give my phone back!"
Putting his hands into his trouser pockets, Colin said calmly, "Sophia, listen to me."
"Go ahead! I don't want anything after the divorce. And I'll return the money you spent on me..."
Suppressing the urge to kill her, Colin said through gritted teeth, "Listen to me! I only see Leila as my sister, not as a woman! Don't worry, alright?"
She sneered, "You don't have to lie to me. I can see the truth with my own eyes. Don't be ashamed to admit that you like a woman!"
Closing his eyes, Colin repressed the anger in his heart and constantly told himself that Sophia was still young. He shouldn't take her words too personally.
When he reopened his eyes, he was calm again. He gathered Sophia in his arms. "Sophia, I like you as a woman, understand?"
