Sophia shook her head. "I can eat anything. Aren't you busy with work? You don't have to stay with me."
"Did I mention that I want to stay with you?" Colin teased with a smile.
As he expected, Sophia flushed in embarrassment. "Oh, it seems I was flattering myself!"
Colin couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"I do want to stay with you." Sophia rolled her eyes.
They went to the supermarket. But because Sophia felt extremely lethargic, she didn't get out the car.
Colin came back as soon as he finished shopping.
When they arrived at the Redbud Mansion, Colin kicked the bedroom door open while holding Sophia and carrying a plastic bag in his arms. He settled her on the bed.
By the time Colin finished making lunch, it was past 1 o'clock. He went to the bedroom to wake Sophia up.
She seemed to be dazed the whole time she was having lunch. Sophia quickly finished her meal and dashed back to bedroom after wiping her lips.
Colin grinned as he stared at her retreating figure. She was so delicate, it seems she needed to exercise more.
In the afternoon, Colin shut his cellphone off and slept with Sophia in his arms.
At Patrick's Villa
When Dorothy woke up, she found herself alone with the servants in the house.
Looking at the marks on her body, she remembered Colin and couldn't help laughing out loud.
But she felt strange when she realized that Colin wasn't present.
Since they slept together, she assumed that Colin would treat her better.
After calling him, she find out that his phone was turned off.
Did it run out battery? Without thinking much about it, she left her brother's villa after she cleaned herself up.
At the Lien Villa
Dorothy looked bright when she walked in. Marcella took her daughter's hand and said, "How was it? Did you...?"
Dorothy nodded bashfully. "Mom, I did it!"
Marcella clapped her hands in delight. She hadn't been this excited for a long time. But her face suddenly turned somber. "What happened with you last night? I was so embarrassed!"
At her mother's reminder, Dorothy remembered the bizarre things she did. But she had no idea either. "I don't know what happened to me. Did someone drug my drink?"
One thing was for certain. Someone intended to embarrass her.
"Could it have been Sophia?" Marcella asked. Sophia was the first suspect that Marcella thought of because she was also present last night. It couldn't be anyone but her.
Suddenly recalling something Dorothy gritted her teeth and pulled out the lipstick from her bag. "It must've been Sophia. The lipstick she gave me must've been tampered with!"
"She gave you a lipstick?" Marcella was surprised. She didn't think Sophia was kind enough to give her daughter a gift.
Dorothy took out her phone and kept scanning the lipstick for a QR code, but it didn't scan anything. She had fallen into Sophia's trap. "Mom, she must've put something on the lipstick!"
She did all those scandalous things immediately after applying it.
"It's fine. I bet Sophia never expected that she would cause Colin to slide into your bed. You may have to thank her for that!"
"Yeah, I should really thank her!"
The mother and daughter laughed gleefully.
