Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1355

Hermosa's temporary room was simple, with only one bed and one quilt. Additionally, there were two tables, a few chairs, and a closet. It was devoid of decoration and other furniture.

At noon, Sophia and Hugh stayed at the temple for a meal. When they prepared to leave in the afternoon, it started to rain.

Because it was difficult to walk on the rainy mountain road, Sophia and Hugh decided to wait until the rain stopped. But the rain got heavier and heavier, and it hadn't stopped by the time night fell.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, it was still raining. Sophia finally gave up the idea of going down the mountain. Hermosa prepared two rooms for them to stay for the night.

In the mountain, mobile phones had no cell service and everyone went to sleep early.

At the foot of the mountain, Colin called Sophia dozens of times but got no answer. After asking Aaron, he found out that Sophia and Hugh went up the mountain.

It was past 6 o'clock in the evening. Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, he asked Aaron, "When will they come back?"

Aaron didn't know either. "She didn't tell me. All she said was that they would climb the mountain, but I guess she'll be back soon."

He had wanted to tell Colin that morning. But Colin was busy outside all day.

When Colin came back in the evening, Aaron went out and they missed each other again. They didn't meet until now.

At past eight o'clock in the evening, Colin picked up his coat. "Let's go. I'll go with you and wait until Sophia comes back."

What? Aaron was confused. What did Colin mean? Was Colin going to go back home with him?

They did end up going home together. After ordering takeout and finishing the meal, Sophia still hadn't come back.

He called Hugh again but the call still couldn't connect.

Just as Colin worried himself to the point where he was ready to go up the mountain, Hugh answered the phone.

But the signal was terrible. It looked like it was still raining on the mountain. Colin asked in a sullen tone, "Are you still on the mountain?"

"Yes... went back... to sleep." Because of the poor signal, the line kept breaking up and Colin couldn't hear a full sentence.

Went back to sleep? Besides confirming that Hugh and Sophia were still on the mountain, Colin didn't get any other useful information.

As soon as the call got disconnected, Colin anxiously called Hugh several times.

On the mountain, Hugh walked outside with an umbrella and was about to call Colin back.

But before he could dial the number, his phone started ringing. He looked at the Colin's name on the screen and smiled wryly. Colin was worried that he would have an affair with Sophia on the mountain.

He answered the phone. "Colin, it's Hugh."

"I can send someone up to fetch you now!" Colin was mad with jealousy at the thought of Hugh and Sophia alone on the mountain.

Hugh chuckled, followed by a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder. Without him explaining further, it was clear to Colin that it was impossible for anyone to go up or down the mountain.

There was a strong storm on the mountain.

"Are you sure you're not coming back tonight?" Colin didn't want to give up.

Hugh confirmed, "Sophia is asleep. We'll go back early in the morning tomorrow."

"I can go to you!" Colin said desperately, getting up from the sofa and rushing for the door.

"It's too late. Even if you come, there's no place for you to sleep. There's only one single bed for each person here." Hugh felt a little guilty. He had to admit that he didn't want Colin to come. Although his bed was only a single bed, Sophia's bed was large enough for two people to sleep in.

"I don't care if I have a bed." Colin was already changing his shoes and getting ready to leave the house.

Hugh sighed helplessly, "I won't touch her. We've been friends for so many years. Don't you trust me?"

It was still raining heavily. Hugh worried for Colin's safety if he went up the mountain tonight. He decided to take a step back.

His words finally stopped Colin from leaving. It was a long time before Colin spoke quietly, "Tell Sophia I'm waiting for her."

Both of them fell silent. Thunder grew louder in the sky, and the rain fell relentlessly on Hugh's umbrella. The weather matched Hugh's sullen mood. A flash of lightning reflected the sadness in his smile.

"Colin, I know you love her, but I won't give up. After all, you're getting married to someone else." Hugh couldn't help thinking that if he couldn't get Sophia's heart, it would be enough to have her as his wife.
