The surgery was successful. Sophia breathed out a sigh of relief at the news. She wanted to thank every god who had control over people's lives.
Thanks to the arrangements Colin made, Renee's recuperation also went smoothly.
Sophia could finally get some rest. Looking at the calendar, she realized that she had been apart from Colin for 30 days.
While she held her phone in a daze, Cora called in.
"Miss Lo, the task has been completed."
Sophia took a moment to absorb the news. She wasn't prepared... "Okay. Meet me in A Country."
In the dead of night, Sophia went out of the Li Manor. Dressed in a light yellow coat and a black skirt, she stood a long way from the house and waited for a car to arrive.
Soon, a silver Mercedes pulled up in front of her.
Sophia looked at the license plate number before getting into the car.
At the BFL Restaurant
Payne excitedly pulled out Sophia's chair as she sat down.
"Sophie, you finally got in touch with me!" Payne stared at her with a glazed look in his eyes. She was getting more and more beautiful...
A touch of sadness emerged on Sophia's face at his words. "I've been very unhappy recently. Payne, can you keep me company for a while?"
"No problem!" Overwhelmed with joy, Payne quickly ordered a meal for two, along with a bottle of wine worth more than 100, 000.
His actions didn't escape Sophia's notice. He used to be very stingy in the past, but now he was a high roller. Did the Lien family give him some money?
They toasted their half-filled wine glasses and started to talk.
"Sophie, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. I couldn't refuse Dorothy when she seduced me. I'm a man after all... I regret everything... Can you give me another chance?"
Sophia nodded with a distracted look in her eyes. "Sure, I'll believe you one last time."
Payne nodded in excitement. "Sophie, wealthy or poor, I will never abandon you again!"
"Good. Will you divorce her?" Sophia took a sip of wine, eyeing him through the corner of her eyes.
Payne paused. He had a complicated look on his face that Sophia couldn't read. Finally, he said, "I'll divorce her if you get back with me."
Sophia looked at him with teary eyes. "Really? Payne, I miss you too. Colin and I don't love each other. Everything between us is merely a publicity stunt..."
Her phone suddenly rang in the middle of her speech. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was Colin.
She quickly excused herself. "Sorry, I have to take this call."
"Sure."
Sophia went by the window to answer the phone. "Colin."
Colin had a hard time restraining his feelings at the sound of her soft voice. "Sophie, where are you?"
"I'm out. What happened?"
"I just arrived at the airport. Wait for me in a hotel!" Colin's sudden return made Sophia's heart beat faster.
She was about to see Colin! Finally! After a month apart... Sophia felt like crying.
"Okay. Which hotel? How long will it take you to get there?"
"Around 40 minutes, I'll send you the address."
"Okay. See you!" Sophia smiled as her face flushed with joy.
After the call, Sophia suddenly realized that she was in the middle of something. Putting her excitement aside, she took out her phone and typed a message.
Payne was eating steak when Sophia returned. He raised his head when she approached the table. "Was it Colin?"
Sophia didn't deny it. "Yes."
"Sophie, are you unhappy with him?"
