"No. Your brother has recently been busy with work. He spends most of his time in the company. Wait for me, I'll be there soon!" Why did Colin choose to send Aaron away?
Without a shadow of doubt, Aaron believed Sophia. After all, Colin was like a god in his eyes. "Sister, I have to board the plane in 10 minutes, you can't make it here in such a short period. You and brother can visit me in Britain if you have time!"
"10 minutes?" Sophia felt a sudden ache in her heart. How could Colin not mention anything about this before sending her little brother away?
"Yes, sister. Brother has been good to our family. I've never seen anyone else so good to his wife. I wish you two the best."
Sophia was silent. She knew Colin had done a lot for the Lo Clan. Taking a deep breath, she promised, "Of course. Don't worry about me and Colin. Since Colin has arranged everything for you, you should study hard and not disappoint him."
"I won't, sister. The Li clan is our family's benefactor. I'll keep that in mind."
Sophia almost burst into tears at his words. She restrained her feelings and said, "Well, have a nice journey!"
"Thank you, sister. I'm still worried about dad. Tell me every piece of news about his recuperation!"
"I will. Don't forget to contact me when you arrive." Though they were trying to talk with each other like they usually did, their minds were weighed down with anxiety.
"I know. Bye, sister!"
"Take care!"
Aaron hadn't known Sophia was pregnant because no one told him. And Sophia intended to keep him in the dark.
After her conversation with Aaron, Sophia dialed Colin's number, but none of her calls were answered.
Listening to the busy signal on the other end, Sophia almost smashed her phone in anger. She texted Colin with her trembling hands, "Colin, why didn't you tell me about sending my brother away?"
After a long while, Colin replied when Sophia had almost given up. "He's also my brother. I have the right to help him with his future."
In the Company
Just as Colin just sent his message, Wendy rushed into his office. "Colin, where's Sophia?"
Wendy had asked Sophia several times about where she was being held, but Sophia always stammered and didn't dare say a word. Wendy figured she was afraid of Colin.
Colin was surprisingly calm. He raised his head and casually met Wendy's angry eyes. "What's wrong, mother? How could I let her stay in our house, when she's bearing another man's child?"
Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief. "What's wrong with you? You keep saying Sophia that cheated on you, but there's no proof!"
"But I do have proof. Do you want to have a look?" Wendy was shocked. She looked into his eyes but only saw a calm and serious expression on his face.
Surely, Sophia hadn't slept with another man...
But why Colin was so certain? "Even if Sophia cheated on you, I'm sure she didn't mean it!"
Colin paused at her words. He looked intently at his mother. That damn Sophia, hurting everyone who loved and cherished her. She had a protective mother-in-law, yet she slept with another man to repay her kindness...
"She was definitely willing. Do you want to see?"
Wendy was dumbstruck. Her face turned pale in shock as she stuttered, "Colin, have you made an investigation? How are you so sure?"
Colin sneered as he shook his head. Somehow, he didn't want to tell Wendy about how Sophia had cheated on him. "Mother, she's not your concern. The child she's currently bearing is not mine. I don't want you to intervene with my decision."
If he allowed that whore to give birth to another man's child under his roof, he would not only be a laughingstock, but also a cuckold. And he wouldn't let his mother take care of that fatherless bastard, either!
