Colin kissed her passionately. Although the picture couldn't be explained, he still believed her. "When I come back, I will avenge you."
He feared that Payne and Dorothy would hurt her while he wasn't around.
Sophia shook her head. "I don't want you to get involved. Colin, after all this is over, I'll tell you everything."
He rolled over and settled on top of her. Raising her chin, he said, "I believe you. But Sophia, do you remember Quincy?"
Sophia nodded. She would never forget that Quincy bastard!
"And that man who tried to take advantage of you?"
Sophia gave another nod. She never found out what happened to them, and Colin never told her.
"I had a guy break one of Quincy's arms. Now, he can't find a job anywhere. For the other guy, he was seriously injured and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Sophia, do you know why I told you these things?"
Sophia was confused. Why did Colin hire somebody to hurt Quincy? Did he do it for her?
Sophia shook her head absently, then nodded. "That no one should mess with you?"
Colin paused. "That's right. Whoever dares to lie to me or provoke me will be punished severely."
Whoever lies to him... She never lied to him, but she hid some secrets from him. However, she would tell him everything in due time.
It completely slipped Sophia's mind that she had concealed her infertility from him.
"I know. Can we go to sleep now?" She felt very sleepy.
Her indifference annoyed Colin. She was ignoring his warning!
But it was fine, at least she never lied to him.
He pecked her on the lips and turned over. "Good night."
Colin woke up before 5 a.m. He spent the early morning making several calls to assure Sophia's security.
On Colin's third day in A Country, he didn't go to the office because he promised he would spend the day with Sophia.
After lunch, the Maybach stopped outside an upscale neighborhood. Colin and Sophia got off the car. Sophia asked, "Where are we?"
Colin took her hand and walked inside. "I have something to show you."
He pressed the button of the elevator leading to the 8th floor. "Be sure to remember this."
"Huh? What?" Sophia was puzzled.
"The eighth floor of Building 6."
"All right. I will!" She suddenly recalled the conversation between Colin and Wendy. Was this about the apartment he bought?
There were two apartments on the 8th floor. Colin opened the door of one apartment, which hadn't been decorated or furnished.
It was obviously large, with a living room of 80 square meters. It also had four bedrooms, two small storage rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a dinning room.
All in all, the apartment covered several hundred square meters.
Each bedroom had either a large or small balcony, with a view of the garden or the plaza.
Colin wrapped his arms around Sophia's waist. "Do you like it?"
"Is this..." She tilted her head and trailed off skeptically.
