The only response Sophia got was the loud slamming of the door.
Hugh stopped Colin from opening the door of the driver's seat. "Colin, Sophia and I are getting married."
...
Holding the door handle, Colin turned around with an incredulous look. One tended to speak in a lower voice when his heart was breaking. "What did you just say?"
Seldom seeing Colin like this, Hugh repeated with mixed feelings, "We'll get married soon after you marry Dorothy."
Inside the car, Sophia heard every word Hugh said, but had no intention of refuting it.
Firmly clutching the handle, Colin looked into the distance with gritted teeth. Get married? Sophia was going to marry someone else!
Good for you, Sophia!
"I won't permit it!" Having said that, he got into the car and hit the accelerator hard, speeding out of the estate.
Hugh thought about going after them but found it quite unnecessary when he started the car.
He'd better leave them alone. If the two could reconcile, it would be the best ending.
Sophia and Colin.
He wished them both happiness.
In the speeding black Bentley, Sophia tightly held the handle above her in fear. "Can you slow down? I feel sick..."
But Colin didn't seem to hear her, and kept driving at the same speed.
The car finally pulled over when Sophia was about to throw up.
After recovering from the motion sickness, she found herself in a strange place. Where was she?
Click! The lighter snapped. Sitting silently on the driver's seat, Colin played with his lighter.
The flame died, and he flicked it again.
This went on for dozens of times without a word. Running out of patience, Sophia opened the door and got off.
Colin threw the lighter to the storage compartment and followed after her.
While Sophia was looking around, Colin pulled her into Building 6 of Redbud Mansion without a word.
Sophia saw him press the 8 button inside the elevator. Floor 8, Building 6.
It occurred to her that the house Colin bought downtown three years ago was also on the 8th floor of Building 6.
Colin opened the door and turned the lights on. Seeing the interior design, Sophia became certain that this was the same house. She had picked everything out with Colin.
Both of them didn't say a word.
While Sophia stood silently in the living room, Colin sat on the couch. He folded his legs and put his right hand on the armrest, tapping it causally.
"What's the matter?" Feeling uncomfortable, Sophia only wanted to sleep.
Colin diverted his attention to her face and said indifferently, "Are you getting married?"
"Yes!" If he can get married, why can't she?
To tell the truth, she had to think twice about marrying Hugh.
She didn't love him, nor did she want to hurt him.
