At Colin's words, Sophia got confused. She figured Colin didn't want to have a baby with her, so he shifted Wendy's attention to Levi.
Did Colin dislike children? She loved kids herself. What should she do?
Wendy let out a deep sigh, "You both need to work this out. Colin must have a baby as soon as possible. And Levi, I'll introduce you to some girls."
After swallowing a piece of pork, Levi said, "No way. There's this girl I like. Don't worry about me. Just take good care of yourself, and everything will be fine!"
The girl he liked was a college student who was younger than him.
Wendy was thrilled, hearing that her son had a girl he liked, so she couldn't help asking, "Who is she? What's her name? How old is she? What does she do?"
Levi replied, "Eat first, talk later!"
Wendy stared at him in disappointment.
Although she was at a loss of words, she recovered and joined the conversation again. The family had a good meal and moved to the living room to chat.
"Go ahead, I have work to do." Colin stood up from the sofa and went upstairs.
Seeing his brother get up, Levi followed, "I'm leaving now, I have to go back to the army."
Levi found Selina updating her Facebook that she and Angela had arrived in A Country. He was going to seize this chance to see her. Otherwise, it would be a big waste.
"Oh, those brats!" Wendy stared at her retreating sons in a sulk. Having sons was irritating! Why couldn't she have had a daughter? Daughters were better.
"Mom, they're busy. But that's alright, I'll stay with you." Sophia peeled an orange before giving it to Wendy.
Wendy took the orange with a sigh, "I don't depend my sons anymore. Sophia, let's take care of each other."
Sophia laughed, "Mom, you can live with me, but dad would definitely say no!"
Jordan nodded in agreement.
Halfway up the stairs, Colin was little shocked to hear Sophia laughing.
He rarely saw Sophia so happy. Whenever she was with him, she would lose her temper, cry, and sometimes smile, but she would never laugh out loud like this.
It seemed his mom and his wife got along well with each other…
"Sophia!" Suddenly, Colin called out the woman who was enjoying her fruit.
"Hm?" Swallowing the longan, Sophia looked up at the man standing on the steps.
"Bring me some fruit."
Sophia stared at him. She was speechless. She remembered he already had some fruit earlier. "Okay!"
Sophia stood up, but Wendy held her by the wrist. "You don't have to do it yourself. Mrs. Lyu can do it." Wendy wanted to talk more with Sophia!
At his mother's words, Colin looked at Sophia with dissatisfaction. Noticing this, Sophia hurried to say, "Mom, it's fine. I'll be back soon."
Sophia rarely had the chance to do something for Colin, and she didn't want to miss it.
She stood up and walked to the kitchen. Taking out some fresh fruit, she peeled and cut them into pieces before put them randomly in a bowl.
Sophia dropped by the table before leaving the kitchen. She arranged the fruit neatly and took the plate upstairs.
"Hello!" Sophia knocked on the bedroom door as she always did.
From the inside, she heard Colin say, "You don't need to knock in your own home."
Sophia was speechless. She opened the door and found Colin in a white shirt, holding a laptop and checking his email on the sofa.
She carefully put down the plate on the table in front of him, "Here's your fruit."
He didn't respond.
Sophia wondered if he didn't hear her. She raised her voice a bit, "Here's your fruit!"
He kept silent.
Now Sophia knew he was doing it on purpose. He probably didn't want to talk to her.
