Sophia hurriedly explained for Colin, "Mom, he's a CEO. There are too many things going on in the company. Sometimes, he can't help himself. He can't just leave whenever he wants to."
Wendy laughed out, glancing at her. "Sophie, you're so protective of Colin! You'll spoil him!"
Sophia opened her mouth but was at a loss for words. If Wendy was happy with that thought, she wouldn't ruin it.
"No, I don't think so. Mrs. Lyu, let me help you!" Seeing Mrs. Lyu prepare to wash the vegetables, Sophia quickly changed the subject.
"But that's a servant's job, Mrs. Li..." Mrs. Lyu hesitated. Sophia smiled at her, "I'm just going to wash some vegetables. Come on, you can help Wendy with other things."
Wendy nodded to Mrs. Lu. She reluctantly gave the vegetable basin to Sophia and started to work on something else.
The SL Group
After hanging up the phone, Colin contemplated for a while. He returned to the conference room and said, "Alright, everyone. Go home, have a good rest, and think of a better way to solve the problem. That's it for today's meeting."
...
Everyone was completely shocked at Colin's words. Half an hour ago, he said that if they couldn't come up with a good idea, no one would be going home tonight.
How could one phone call change his mind so quickly?
Although everyone was puzzled, they all hurriedly packed up their things and quickly left room before Colin changed his mind.
Wendy placed the last dish onto the table. Sophia was pacing in the doorway with her phone in her hands, when she heard the door of the villa open.
Pleasantly surprised, she raised her head and saw Colin come in.
"You... You're back!" Sophia flashed him a smile.
Colin shot her a strange look. What was she up to? Was she determined to play the affectionate wife to please his parents?
With that thought, Colin hummed indifferently in response.
He changed into his slippers and took off his suit jacket. When a pair of small hands reached out to take his coat, Colin was surprised. His puzzled eyes met hers.
Sophia awkwardly explained, "I'll hang it on the clothes rack for you."
Colin raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Sophia Lo had a conscience, after all. At least she knew that she should make his parents happy since they were so nice to her.
But he wouldn't let her have what she wanted.
Had she already forgotten what she did to him yesterday? He's very vindictive and believed that revenge was a dish best served cold.
"No, I can do it myself. You don't have to bother."
... Sophia felt uncomfortable because everyone was watching them.
She quickly grabbed his coat to stopped Colin from walking to the clothes rack. Her fingers tightened at the edge of his coat.
They had a silent competition. Neither Colin nor Sophia let go.
"What are you doing? Come and eat!" Wendy curiously watched Colin and Sophia who stood face to face at the door.
"Coming, mom. I'll just hang Colin's coat on the clothes rack."
Colin paused.
With Colin distracted, Sophia swiftly pulled the coat out of his hands and triumphantly hung it onto the rack.
Levi was watching them carefully. His brother was unhappy for a moment, but in the next instant, Colin was smiling at Sophia's back.
Was he mistaken?
As the coat incident passed, the whole family moved to the dining room together.
