Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1279

Sophia forced a smile. With a broken heart, her eyes brimmed with tears again. "Colin, someone threatened me with my Dad's life. He wanted me to tell you that the baby... The baby is not yours.

But, the baby is yours, not Payne's. Colin, we love each other very much. Why don't you trust me?

Have you fallen in love with someone else, and you need a reason to get rid of me?"

Sophia broke down. Unsympathetically, Colin asked, "Have you finished your story?"

"I'm not telling you a story. This afternoon, an unknown number called me. They abducted my father and said they would kill him if I didn't tell you that the baby is not yours. I had the video, but it was automatically erased. I suspect someone is monitoring my phone, so I called you using Justina's phone."

"Do you have a better excuse?" Apparently, Colin did not trust her.

"Colin, I'm not lying to you. I could see my dad, distraught and running around in a large room."

"Where is he being held? Who abducted him? Tell me."

"He didn't tell me. He only said that if I didn't follow his instructions, my father would get hurt."

"So, are you trying to tell me, the baby inside you is not mine?" Colin's cold voice made Sophia shiver.

"The child is yours. I was forced to say that..."

"Stop your lies. Otherwise, never call me again!"

Then he hung up the phone.

In the SL Group offices. Standing in front of the window, Colin smoked a cigarette, clutching his phone tightly. Before walking back to the meeting room, Colin spoke to Wade. "How is the investigation concerning my father-in-law going?"

"They called yesterday. There was no news." Wade felt deeply ashamed.

"Sophia suspects her phone is being monitored. Check whether this is happening."

"Okay, sir."

After the meeting, Colin went back to his office. Soon, Wade called, "Sir, I had madam's phone inspected and, she isn't being monitored."

"Okay, thank you." Colin pulled his tie loose. How could he ever trust Sophia again?

Colin threw his phone on the desk and walked to the wine rack on the other side of the room. He opened a bottle and poured a full glass, which he downed in one swift move.

The wine made Colin's throat and stomach burn, but it did not change his mood.

'Sophia, I tried to believe you! But you let me down time after time.'

The phone on the table rang. He calmed down and walked to answer the phone. "Hello, sir. This is the reception desk. A Mr. Aaron wishes to see you, but he has no appointment..."

"Let him in!"

Aaron had wanted to see Sophia several times, but Sophia did not want to see him. Aaron thought there might be something wrong with his sister, so he had to come to speak to Colin.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Leaning against the desk, Colin called out, "Come in!"

The receptionist opened the door, followed by Aaron, who was still in his uniform. It seemed he had just gotten off work.

"Brother!" The door was closed. Aaron walked in anxiously.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the office. Aaron look around, 'Has Colin been drinking?'

"What's wrong?" Colin took a peek at him and walked to the wine rack.

"I can't find my sister. She is always saying she is busy when I call her. I went to your house, but she was not there. Do you know where she is?"

Colin did not answer him. He took out another glass, and poured some wine into it. "Are you off work?"

"Yes. About my sister..."
