Josh Qiao held Aaron's hand and stopped him, "No, Aaron. Just take me away secretly. Thankfully, her father had spared me a room that day, otherwise I would have been wandering around the streets."
Aaron gritted his teeth. He called back his men and left peacefully.
He led Josh to the roadside. A couple of bodyguards came over and greeted them with respect, "Boss Lo! Mr. Josh!"
Josh was shocked. He wondered if all these men were Aaron's bodyguards.
"Hello, everyone!" Josh smiled as he returned their greeting.
One of the men opened the car door and Josh got in. Aaron followed and sat in the car.
For Josh, this Audi car was a luxury car. Many years ago, he used to drive this kind of a car, but no longer.
He scanned this latest Audi model and asked Aaron, "Aaron, what's your job now?"
"I'm working for my brother-in-law. And I'm busy with some other things in my spare time," said Aaron. He opened a bottle of water and handed it to his grandfather.
Josh sipped the water and asked further, "What does your brother-in-law do? What about your sister? Are they still in A Country? And where's your father?"
Seeing that his grandfather was genuinely interested in knowing about the family's whereabouts, Aaron patiently answered all his questions.
...
Time steadily went by. According to many people's expectation, Colin and Dorothy's wedding day finally came, no matter how much Sophia wanted to desist it.
Everyone seemed to be quite busy that day, except for Sophia, who was still sleeping.
Sophia had already asked for a leave from work. She of course, would attend the ceremony.
She woke up at half past nine in the morning, washed her face and had her breakfast. Then at ten minutes past ten, she sat in front of her dressing table, took out all her cosmetics and applied her makeup.
At twenty to eleven, Sophia started from her house and arrived at the hotel, where the wedding was to be held, at eleven o'clock.
A lot of people had already arrived at the hotel's door. A large poster with Colin and Dorothy's photo was placed in front of the door. Sophia stood in front of the photo and looked carefully at Colin's emotionless face. If her plan didn't succeed, this man would belong to another woman after today...
Colin wasn't at the hotel's door. He had already arranged for Wade, Gregary and his wife to welcome the guests there. Sophia raised her head and took a look at the sun in the sky. She grinned and dialed Colin's number.
"Are you busy?" she asked. What a stupid question she was asking. Of course, he was busy. He was the bridegroom; he was the busiest of all!
Unexpectedly, she heard Colin reply, "No, I'm not. I'm just missing you right now."
"Where are you?" asked Sophia.
"At Redbud Mansion," said Colin.
Sophia was perplexed. He was the bridegroom. Shouldn't he be arriving at the hotel with the bride right now? Thinking of something, she then asked in a stammer, "Have you already brought...Dorothy... to the Redbud Mansion?"
"No, I'm smoking alone," replied Colin as he smiled inwardly. Indeed, Colin was casually leaning on the sofa, and smoking a cigarette at the Redbud Mansion.
Hearing him, Sophia was dumbfounded. She thought, 'What on earth is in this man's mind?' After a while, she smiled and asked, "Mr. Li, I'll be waiting for you in a private room, on the third floor of this hotel. Do you dare come?"
Colin tittered, "Send the room number to me. I'm reaching there in ten minutes!"
He stubbed out his cigarette, stood up from the sofa, grabbed the box in front of him and put it into his pocket.
He then strode out of the mansion, got into his new Bentley and drove at full speed toward the hotel.
Steering clear of the Lien family members, Sophia discreetly went to a room on the third floor.
In less than ten minutes, the room's door opened and a man came in. He was the bridegroom today.
