Looking at Colin's back, Herring asked thoughtfully,"Shel, did aunt tell you whose child Ambrose is?"
To tell the truth, he was furious when he saw the video of Sophia being unfaithful.
But he felt he had gone too far when he drove Sophia away, she was still pregnant at that time.
Finally, when Sophia experienced the loss of her child after Colin had taken the baby away, Herring began to show sympathy for Sophia...
"Hush!" His words frightened Shelly, who nervously glanced at the woman surrounded by a crowd nearby.
Herring helplessly looked at his wife. "What's wrong?"
"Don't you know that my brother won't let me mention Ambrose? And you also mentioned Sophia! If somebody heard you, my brother would get angry again!" In the past few years, Colin would not only lose his temper if someone mentioned Sophia, but also quarrel with the offenders for saying something wrong...
No one was allowed to mention her at all!
"Do you know the saddest thing about all this?" Herring held his wife's arm.
Shelly knew. "Since you drove Sophia away, your relationship with Colin hasn't been as good as before."
Herring shook his head helplessly. "Why did Colin care so much about that woman?"
He cast his eyes on Sophia. He had to admit that she had changed a lot. She had become more outstanding and elegant.
He wondered what Colin would do. He was looking forward to see Colin's next move.
Surrounded by many men, Sophia shot the nearby man glances from time to time. When Colin went to Gregoary's side with Dorothy, she turned pale.
That's right, since Colin got engaged with Dorothy, he had become Gregary's son-in-law. According to the news, Colin has been preparing for their wedding recently...
"Sophia, Sophia..." Hugh's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Sophia snapped out of her daze and smiled at Hugh. "Sorry."
"It's all right. I invited you here right after you came back. Where will you stay tonight? Do you need me to arrange accommodations for you?" In the three years Sophia had been away, she only contacted Hugh.
Hugh was also the only person she told about her return.
"It's fine, I can stay at my house. Have you heard from my father recently?" She looked at Hugh anxiously as she mentioned her father.
Hugh shook his head. "No. Your father may have gone into hiding. I have many people look for him, but haven't gotten any result."
Sophia frowned. Aaron once called to tell her that father had found him in England a year ago. After that, he disappeared again...
She could do nothing but to let it be for now.
After all, her father always called her using different phone numbers to tell her that he was alright.
The banquet ended soon and Sophia walked out of the hotel with Hugh's escort. When she was about to get into the car, a nearby scene made her face fall.
A black Cayenne steadily stopped at the front entrance of the hotel. Dorothy and Colin walked to the side of the car. And a boy around two or three years old came out and jumped to Colin. "Dad, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
It was too dark and the boy moved too fast into Colin's arms for anyone to see his face.
Sophia was dumbstruck. Both Colin and Dorothy looked at the little boy with kind smiles. Finally, Colin hugged the boy and the three sat together in the Cayenne.
