Aaron got no response. Finally, she decided she didn't care and went straight for the door with her bag in hand.
"Come back, I can explain!" Colin said hurriedly.
Sophia stopped. Swallowing down the bitterness in her heart, she didn't turn around. "What's there to explain? You'll marry Dorothy in the end. Why bother making excuses for yourself?"
With that, Sophia opened the door and left.
It wasn't long before Colin caught her arm.
Sophia tried to shake his grip off. Colin caught her again and embraced the struggling woman in his arms.
He said patiently, "Please listen to me."
"No, I don't want to listen to you. I'm only your ex-wife. You don't have to explain to me!" Sophia covered her ears tightly. She didn't want to listen a word he had to say.
At the sight, Colin felt helpless and anxious.
Three other people entered the corridor. They were surprised to see the couple quarreling. Realizing the man was Colin, one of them came over to greet him. "Mr. Li, nice to see you..."
"Fuck off!" Because he was so upset, Colin shouted at the man without caring who he was talking to. The three were so terrified that they scurried away.
In the Private Room.
The manager picked up the ice cubes on the floor and threw them into the garbage can. While he contemplated if he should get more ice, Aaron said, "Please send over more ice and a new towel."
Aaron had faith that his brother-in-law would fix things with his sister and come back.
"Yes, Mr. Lo." The manager quickly asked a waiter to prepare the items.
Shaking off Colin's hands, Sophia headed towards the lift. She clenched her teeth and held back her tears.
Did Colin see her as a woman without any boundaries? Did he think she would give him anything he wanted?
The elevator door opened, and Sophia moved to step in. Suddenly, Colin pulled her into the nearest private room.
"Listen to me!" Colin trapped her in his arms.
"No! If you want a woman to listen to you, go find Dorothy! Since she's your fiancée, she'll listen to you! Let me go!" Sophia struggled in his arms. Realizing she couldn't get rid of him, she settled for beating his chest with her fists.
She kept beating him again and again... Colin didn't stop her and endured her strikes.
After a long time, Sophia finally stopped.
Colin bowed his head and sealed her lips with a kiss...
'It hurts!' Sophia scrunched up her face, her hands clenching the corners of his clothes tightly.
She bit him hard, making Colin loosen his grip on her. "Sophia, you bit me! How dare you!"
She looked up at him smugly. "If you dare kiss me, I'll definitely bite you!"
When Colin raised his right hand, she was afraid he would hit her. But he only used his thumb to rub her slightly swollen lips. "Let's go back to the room. Aren't you meeting Sandy?"
Looking directly into his eyes, Sophia gently asked him, "Colin, if Brody isn't Dorothy's son, should I try to get you back from her?"
Colin smiled. He held her face and kissed her again. "I'm looking forward to it."
Sophia had no words.
When Sophia and Colin returned to the room, Aaron was leaning against the chair sleepily.
At that moment, he seemed to turn back to the innocent boy he once was. Sophia remembered how ruthless he was earlier. It couldn't be Aaron...
