"Just once? Then, I want to do it once. Hmm?" Levi wrapped his arm around Selina's slender waist and pressed their bodies together.
"Levi, don't. We're getting married at the end of the year. No need to rush." Because of his movements, Selina was forced to stand on her tiptoes.
Levi took a deep breath. "Do you have your ID card?"
"Yes..."
"Let's go to the registry office and get married tomorrow morning."
Selina puzzled over these words. "Oh! But I didn't bring my household register."
"Don't worry about that. Now, we'll have our wedding night in advance." Levi couldn't wait any longer. Selina was so stubborn, that any form of intimacy with her was never possible before.
"Levi, please don't. I'm not ready." Levi was strong. Selina was afraid of what he'd do.
Levi grasped the clothes around her waist firmly and lowered his head to kiss her. Knowing he had compromised, Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
Selina decided to do him a favor, so that Levi didn't need to take a cold shower...
Inside Ambrose's bedroom, Sophia finally got the boy to sleep. She quietly put the story book back on the shelf.
Colin stood still and didn't say a word as he watched Ambrose and Sophia.
As soon as Sophia put the book away, there was a pull on her wrist. Colin gently dragged her towards the door in silence. Sophia said hastily, "Wait, I haven't cleaned the bathroom yet!"
"I'll have the maids do that tomorrow."
Sophia paused. "My coat is still inside." The door of Ambrose's bedroom was closed and Sophia was taken to the room where she and Colin used to stay.
Besides the new set of bedding, everything remained unchanged.
Everything was so familiar, it felt like she was back in the past.
After the door was closed, Sophia looked back at the man approaching her. Why did he look so grim?
"Sophia."
"Yes?" Sophia answered quickly.
She stepped back as he came closer, until she fell onto the large bed.
Shit! She had forgotten about the bed behind her. She should have stepped back in the direction of balcony.
As expected, the corners of Colin's mouth curled as she fell onto the bed. Before she could get up, Colin climbed on top of her.
"The apartment code is 0929. Take the card from where you put it." He refused to let her get rid of him.
Sophia didn't reply. Her thoughts were filled with the four digits, 0929... It was her birthday.
She looked at Colin with mixed emotions. "Colin... What the hell... Do you mean?"
"It's simple. Sophia, you are my wife. Don't even think about marrying Hugh Pei or any other man."
His answer was unexpectedly straightforward. But Sophia still didn't know if he loved her or not. She reiterated her stand. "I'm not going to be your mistress."
His thumb rubbed back and forth against her cheek. "Be good, and you won't be my mistress."
How could he bear to let Sophia be his mistress? As long as the plan went smoothly, he would not only give her his name, but also marry her in a grand wedding ceremony.
The divorce was fine, it would only give him an opportunity to get to know Sophia all over again.
