Colin pulled down the covers, revealing Sophia's doubtful look. "Aren't you leaving?"
Colin sat at the edge of the bed. "Do you remember what I told you?"
"You've told me a lot of things. How am I supposed to know what you mean? Besides, why do I have to remember it? Who do you think you are?" Sophia met his unhappy eyes. What was he upset about? She was the one who was upset! Why did he keep doing things like this? He kept having sex with her regardless of how she felt.
Could she only be his mistress?
Colin didn't get angry at her words. Fondling the hickey on her collarbone, he said, "Don't marry anyone else. You're mine."
'You're mine.' The simple words made Sophia's heart soar.
But... He was only saying that. Sophia couldn't be with him in public. She wasn't even his girlfriend. She was no longer a girl easily swayed with sweet talk. "If you don't love me, why won't you let me go?"
Colin didn't answer her question. Standing up, he looked at the balcony outside the window with his hand in his pocket. "Sophia, things aren't as simple as you think."
That was all he could say for now. She was too young and naive. Everything seemed very simple in her mind.
"..." After Colin finished speaking, he picked up the luggage and walked out of the apartment.
Sophia was stumped as she stared at the closed door in a daze. What did he mean by that?
Things were more complicated than she thought? What was so complicated?
Sophia snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound of the door being locked. She set aside her thoughts and picked up the phone beside her. Somehow, her phone had been turned off. Turning it on, she quickly sat up in bed. It was past 7:00 a.m.
She could end up late!
But... She needed to make time to see a doctor. Colin hadn't used a condom. What if she got the syphilis? If she found out early, she could treat it early.
Sophia went to the hospital at lunch. Seeing the negative results, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything was normal. But she still needed to take a pill every time they had sex, since Colin never used the condom.
In C Country.
It was past 9 p.m. when Colin and Daniel concluded their business.
They walked out of the conference room together. Daniel glanced at Colin and invited him out. "Let's have dinner, you can stay at my place."
Colin shook his head. "I don't want to trouble you and your family. I can stay at a hotel."
"I can ask Spark to drive you to the Rose Hotel." Daniel always kept a reserved room for himself. It had complete facilities and was very convenient.
Colin didn't refuse him this time. "Okay."
It was almost midnight when Colin arrived at the Rose Hotel. He got a phone call from Wade right after he checked in. "Yes."
"Sir, we've found the maid."
Colin's eyes lit up as he closed the door. "Where?"
"We spotted her right after she got back to the village yesterday." Wade replied truthfully. Colin never stopped looking for the maid after all these years.
Even when he got divorced with Sophia, he never gave up.
