Late in the afternoon, Sophia laid on the bed and thought about what had happened in the hotel. She was sure that Colin truly loved her, but why did he let other women give birth to his children, when he was deeply in love with her?
Didn't he care? Did he just want to have more heirs? It didn't seem like that... Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. "If you can't love deeply, please save your face at least. I won't regret having loved you. But I also respect the ending of our story.."
It was Wendy.
"Hello, Aunt!"
Wendy chuckled, and said, "I'll soon be your mother-in-law! I think it's time you call me mom!"
Sophia blushed, and just when she was about to say something, she heard Ambrose's yell through the phone, saying, "Give me the phone! I want to talk to Sophia!"
Hearing how hurried he was, Sophia burst into laughter. "Mom, mom..." said Ambrose excitedly.
Sophia felt a warm feeling touching her heart when she heard him. "Brody," she said, "I think it's a little early to call me mom before your father and I get married..." She was a little shy and still uneasy with the sudden changes.
She never thought about the fact that Ambrose might be her child, but Ambrose had already found out that Sophia was his real mother. When he was told the truth, he ran up and down again and again to show how excited he was.
"Mom, I'll call you mom from now on! Mom, mom..." As Ambrose kept calling Sophia mom, she accepted it, and answered, "Yes, yes..."
However, Ambrose decided not to tell Sophia that she was his real mother because he had promised Wendy not to get involved in this. The truth would be told to her by Colin, his father.
Sophia rolled on the bed smiling, and asked, "Brody, what are you so happy for?"
"I'm happy because I now have a mom, and because dad will never ever marry Dorothy. Aren't you happy about all of this, mom?"
And she was indeed! She would soon come back to Colin. "I am... mom is happy, Brody. Very happy!"
They chatted with each other for about thirty minutes before they hung up.
She heard that someone entered the house, and Sophia quickly sat up, put her slippers on, and got out of the bedroom.
It was Colin. She ran to him, gave him a big hug, and said "Colin!"
He embraced her, and Sophia stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. "Thank you, Colin!"
She thanked him for clarifying all the rumors about her, avenging her, and for all the other things that he had done for her...
"Show me your gratitude!" he said. Colin lowered his head to kiss her, and Sophia replied to him in the same passionate way.
They kissed each other on their way to the bedroom. Colin's business suit, coat, tie, belt... all fell on the floor.
But Sophia seemed to recall something, and they only made love to each other once. Gazing into his unsatisfied eyes, Sophia chuckled, and said, "It'll soon be New Year. How about I give you a present?"
Colin thought a while, and said, "Great, I'll give you a present too!" The best gift would be the truth, that she was Ambrose's real mother.
"Colin, why did you conceal your plan from me?"
"Because I want to surprise you!"
Sophia pressed against his body and discontentedly bit on his chin. She said, "Weren't you afraid that I would do something stupid if you married Dorothy?"
He fondled her hair, and said, "I wasn't afraid of that at all! Because I always keep an eye on you!"
"Humph! Is this the end of Dorothy?" She had to admit that Colin was more powerful than she was.
Colin shook his head, and said, "No, this is not enough!"
Sophia was astonished. She looked at him, and said, "But you have no grudge with Dorothy. Why?" The person who truly hated Dorothy was her.
"If she hurts my wife, then she's my enemy!"
Sophia was moved by his words, and held Colin tightly. "...Colin, I love you! I really love you!"
"Sophia, I love you even more!"
