Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 38

"What's up with you?" Colin knew that Sophia was always quiet. But there was something wrong with her today. She was not her usual self.

Sophia hadn't expected Colin to continue asking. She had a quick look at Wade to see if he was listening. Satisfied that he was not, Sophia turned to Colin. Pointing at Wade, she reminded Colin not to say anything that was unsuitable.

Colin understood what she was trying to say. However, he was displeased, "So you really want to keep our marriage a secret?"

In Z country only two other people knew of their relationship status, Herring, and Wade.

As Colin's Chief Secretary and his Personal Secretary, Wade knew many things about Colin.

Especially an important matter such as his marriage.

When Sophia figured out what Colin was about to say, she tried to stop him, but in vain. Since Wade had heard, she didn't have to hide anymore. "Colin, you were the one who explicitly asked me to keep our marriage a secret, remember?"

Colin thought for a while. He remembered instructing her not to tell anyone about their marriage. He quibbled anyway, "But I didn't want you to be this thorough and deliberate."

"...... Since Mr. Ji is here, you don't need me. I'm gonna get off here."

"I won't allow that!" Colin took out a remote control and locked all the doors and windows.

Sophia was speechless. She closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the rear seat.

"Sophia Lo! Open your eyes! Look at me and talk!" Colin ordered.

Wade, "......"

Sophia, "......"

Sophia ignored him and remained silent. Colin was unreasonable. There was nothing to talk about with him.

Colin was utterly discomfited when he saw her so indifferent. He pinched her cheeks and said, "Soapy! I order you to speak to me now!"

Sophia pulled his fingers away and articulated, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, you must've confused me with someone else. I'm not Soapy."

Colin was about to speak, but Sophia stopped him and continued, "If you call me Soapy once more, I'll tell everyone that we're married. I'm going to tell them that the great Mr. Colin Li married a low born woman!"

Colin suddenly smiled, "So what?"

......

Sophia looked at Colin in disbelief. What was wrong was him? At the start of their marriage, he had told her, no, he had warned her that she mustn't say a word to others. And now, he didn't care whether she would tell others?

She made a cautious attempt. "Does she know?"

From the moment she heard Colin speaking with a woman on the phone, Sophia had believed that Colin was talking with someone he liked. She assumed that the reason Colin wanted to keep their marriage a secret was because he didn't want his love to know about them.

"Who? Who knows what?" Colin shot Sophia a confused look.

"Your lover. Does she know that you're already married?"

Colin felt a bit frustrated. When had he told Sophia that he had a lover?

"What are you talking about! Just shut up!" Colin sat up straight and ignored her.

Once in a while, everyone enjoys doing the opposite of what he or she's been told. When Colin didn't want her to talk, Sophia suddenly had more interest in talking to him. "Why are you unhappy? Was she jealous?"

Colin's silence drove Sophia's imagination to work overtime.

"Tell her then. You can tell her about our fake marriage, and that we are going to get divorced eventually. And most importantly, that we haven't 'consummated' our marriage yet. Many women take that part very seriously." Sophia had scooted close to Colin. She was whispering as she didn't want Wade to hear the word 'consummated.'

She didn't want to be an obstacle between Colin and his love.
