Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 3

"Sophia, come and sit." Wendy said to Sophia and then glared at her son, "Colin, come here!"

Colin pushed Sophia aside. Sophia felt like laughing at Collin for he looked like a cute young boy from behind.

"Mother, I thought you'd come tomorrow." "Why?" Colin sat beside Wendy and passed the fruit bowl to his mother.

But she pushed it away and scowled at him, "Now tell me, why do you not sleep with Sophia?"

Hearing that, Colin darted an angry look at the woman who just sat down. Snitch!

"It's not Sophia. I see that you two sleep separately, okay?" Sighed Wendy.

She was looking for a bedroom to relax in after she arrived at the villa and happened to see that the couple didn't sleep together. She was upset.

Colin tore his angry gaze away from Sophia after he heard that.

"Well, mother, the thing is, I caught a cold. I was afraid I would pass it to Sophia. So we slept separately. It's only temporary."

Sophia was shocked. She could hardly believe that the honest man she saw at work would lie!

Wendy was skeptical.

Sophia didn't recover from the shock until Colin winked at her.

"Mother, please don't be angry. It's true. It's my fault. I didn't take good care of M... Colin." Sophia had almost said Mr. Li. Fortunately, she realized her mistake immediately.

Wendy patted Sophia on the back of her hand and said, "My silly girl, he is already a man. It's not your fault that he got sick." And then she warned Colin, "If you don't take good care of Sophia when I'm not here, I'll tell your father to break your legs!"

Colin lifted his brow. Sophia must have really enchanted her. His mother had never snapped at him before. But now, she was threatening him. And for a nobody!

Sophia didn't want to get Wendy angry, "Mother, Colin is good to me. Really."

In fact, things were so good that Sophia felt she wasn't married. That she was free.

During dinner, Colin put a shrimp dumpling onto Sophia's plate, and spoke to her with a doting voice, "Baby, try this."

Baby... This was the first time that he had called her baby.

They had kept their marriage a secret from others. They behaved professionally whenever they were at the company or at meetings outside the company. No one knew that she was Colin's wife.

Colin had warned her long before that she must not do anything in his name.

So if he hadn't call her baby just now, she would have forgotten that they had been married.

Wendy was satisfied with Colin's act, and turned her eyes to Sophia. She found Sophia was staring blankly.

"What's wrong, Sophia? What are you thinking?"

"Oh... Nothing. Just uh... something at work. Mother, try these shrimp dumplings."

Sophia put the shrimp dumpling which Colin gave her onto Wendy's plate.

Colin's face darkened. Did she loathe him? Did she not even want to eat what he had given her?

When they were going to bed at night, in front of Wendy, Sophia deliberately asked Colin, "Are you feeling better?"

Colin understood what she was trying to do and nodded, "We can sleep together tonight."

"... OK." Sophia said.

Then Sophia carried her quilt to Colin's bedroom.

Watching the cute couple close the door, Wendy went back to her room feeling relieved.
