Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 198

Sophia toyed with her food on the plate as she mulled over the question she had been meaning to ask all evening. She looked up every now and then to the silent man sitting opposite her. Finally, she broke the silence. "Colin, you knew I wasn't the woman in the video, didn't you?"

The chopsticks Colin was holding went still. "Eat first."

"..." Sophia slammed her chopsticks on the table and shot up from her seat. "I'm done!"

As she was about to walk out of the dining room, the man behind her demanded coldly, "Come back!"

Ignoring it, she walked straight to the living room to grab her purse and headed for the door. From the dining room, Colin raised his voice, "Think about Ambrose."

Colin suddenly felt sorry for himself. He needed his son to stop Sophia from walking away from him.

To his relief, Sophia stopped in her tracks. Looking angrily at Colin, who didn't even bother to turn and face her, she said spitefully, "Ambrose is Dorothy's son. Since I hate her, I wouldn't care if I don't see her child anymore!"

Though Sophia said she didn't care, she didn't take another step.

She couldn't bear the thought of not seeing the boy anymore.

Just thinking about it made her feel awful.

"Who told you he's Dorothy's son?" Colin finally looked over to Sophia, who was obviously upset.

"He's not? Don't tell me you have another woman! I'll despise you even more! Isn't Brody three years old? That means you were having an affair when you were still with me. Was it while I was pregnant?" She clearly remembered Colin telling her that he wasn't having an affair.

But now, it seemed the lie had been exposed. How was he going to defend himself now?

"Come back and eat your dinner!" Colin insisted.

Sophia glared at him. "To hell with dinner, I'm sick of your attitude! I'm not eating!" She flung her purse back on the sofa and sat down with her arms crossed in front of her chest, fuming.

Sophia decided to stay for Ambrose's sake. But that was all she was going to do. She wouldn't give in to Colin.

"Aren't you going to finish your dinner?" Colin added some fresh fish on Sophia's plate.

"No!" Sophia refused loudly. She had made up her mind not to go back to the table.

Colin put down his chopsticks. "If you don't want to eat, that's fine. But you've spoiled my appetite and I'm still hungry. Since things didn't go well on the dinner table, maybe I should satisfy my hunger in bed."

Sophia gaped. Colin made it sound like it wasn't a big deal, like he was just talking about something as trivial as the weather.

He stood up from the chair. Sophia hurriedly jumped out of the sofa and walked briskly into the dining room. "If Mr. Li is still hungry, let's eat some more!"

She sat down and quickly stuffed several bites of fish into her mouth. Then she looked up at Colin with a false smile. "Yum! You should try it too, Mr. Li."

Internally, she cursed Colin for using Ambrose against her. Was she really so easy to manipulate? Considering what just transpired, it seemed she's a very susceptible person. Or she wouldn't have come back for dinner.

Colin sat back down and resumed his dinner. He ate slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. If not for Sophia, he would be working at this hour.

They finished dinner without saying another word. When Sophia said she wanted to leave, Colin glanced at her and said, "I'll answer all your questions if you stay."

Eager for answers, Sophia followed him into the bedroom... and into the bathroom.
