Hugh gave way to Hermosa. "Mother, it's Colin and Sophia."
Hermosa had known both Colin and Sophia for a long time.
"Sophia, is it really you?" Hermosa was surprised. She didn't expect to see Sophia here.
She always liked Sophia. Before Sophia had a chance to speak, she asked in amazement, "How did you become so thin? I saw you on my phone today but I wasn't sure..."
Sophia smiled. "Good evening. How have you been lately?"
When she hung out with Hugh before, the virtuous and gentle lady would always prepare delicious food for her, and even sent her beautiful presents on her birthday...
Hearing Sophia's voice, Jonas looked over and found Sophia smiling and embracing Hermosa.
Inadvertently seeing Jonas, she nodded her head in greeting.
"I'm fine, but I missed you so much! I didn't expect you to marry Colin. I thought..." She caught herself in time. Knowing her son always liked Sophia, she thought Sophia would become her daughter-in-law.
Colin asked gently, "Have you and Sophia met before?"
"Yes, Sophia and Hugh grew up together." At Hermosa's reminder, Colin remembered they were good childhood friends.
Hermosa seemed to like Sophia a lot. A complicated expression flashed over Colin's eyes.
"Hermosa, do you still give lessons?" As a music teacher, Hermosa was excellent in playing the piano and had won many awards.
Sophia could also play a little, thanks to Hermosa's lessons.
"Rarely, but sometimes I give lessons once in half a month. Sophia, you've become much more beautiful! Colin must be taking good care of you!" Although she was disappointed that Sophia didn't end up with Hugh, she was relieved to see that Colin seemed to be good for Sophia.
Hugh was taken aback at the sight of Sophia's embarrassment.
Sophia would never know how beautiful she was at that moment, bowing her head bashfully...
They chatted for a while and walked into the elevator one after another.
There wasn't enough room for everyone. Colin picked up Michelle beside him and took Sophia's hand as they waited for the next elevator. Beside Sophia, Hugh was chatting with Sophia casually.
Seeing the little girl in Colin's arms, Hugh asked Sophia, "I remember you like kids a lot. When are you and Colin planning to have a baby?"
Sophia smiled. "The right time will come soon."
Colin felt a heartache at the sight of Sophia's smile. Sophia must be feeling sad at the moment.
But Sophia didn't feel sad. If she had known that Colin worried about her all the time because of this, she would've told Colin the truth.
She wanted to keep it a secret to surprise Colin. But if she had known it was going to make Colin suffer, she wouldn't have hidden the truth from Colin.
At the parking lot, they began to arrange for cars to go home. Everything was fine until Lola said, "Selina, you're coming back with us, right?"
Although Selina was a little surprised, she refused, "There's no need. I have a flight to catch tomorrow morning, so I'll just find a hotel for the night."
"Nonsense! There are many guests rooms available at home. Let Levi take you back with us. Come on, Levi!" Levi was smoking on the side. He walked over without even glancing at Selina.
Lola told him casually, "Put Selina's suitcase in your car and take her back. At home, prepare a room for her to settle in."
What? They were both surprised. Nonetheless, Levi took Selina's suitcase and walked to the trunk of the military car.
