Since Sophia didn't know if Colin was going to take a shower, she hesitated. Opening a small gap in the bathroom door, she asked, "Do you want to take a shower now?"
"How? Are you going to bathe me?"
Sophia huffed in frustration. "Are you going to take a shower or not?" This man was becoming more and more hateful!
"If you bathe me, I'll consider taking a shower now!" Colin put down his notebook since he couldn't concentrate on his work with Sophia around.
'Doh!' The bathroom door slammed shut. Collin's face darkened and he continued to work on his notebook.
Five Minutes Later
Finally, Sophia walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of Colin. Slightly bowing, she said gently with a half smile, "Mr. Li, the bath water is ready, please go to the bathroom."
... Colin glared fiercely at the woman, wondering what she was up to.
As the man continued to stare at her blankly, Sophia reluctantly switched back to her previous expression. "Colin, are you going to take a shower or not?"
Colin refused indifferently, "Not now."
Fine! Sophia went back to the bathroom in dejection. She soaked in and took a shower. Colin didn't seem to want her to be so active with him.
When Sophia went to bed, she took out a couple of blankets from the cabinet and covered herself. Then she started playing with her mobile phone.
She fell asleep at 11pm.
At 1am, Colin turned off his computer and went to the bed. He watched the sleeping woman in contemplation.
Did she really treat him in this active way to make his parents happy?
The Next Morning
When Sophia woke up early the next morning, Collin had finished washing up. She got up, folded the blankets, and put them back in the cabinet.
Watching her movements, Colin sneered at her.
"You don't have to do that! You're being unnecessary. I'm not going to touch you!"
Sophia fell into silence.
When she went downstairs for breakfast, Colin was ready to leave.
Jordan had left for the army early, and the two elders were doing morning exercises outside. Wendy hadn't gotten up yet. Sophia wasn't in a hurry to eat breakfast. Instead, she went to find her grandparents outside.
Right after Colin closed the door of the villa, Sophia opened it.
The man walked to the black Rolls Royce parked outside. A woman dressed in business attire opened the door for him. Having met her in a video conference, Sophia knew her. She was the general secretary of the president of the SL Group.
The woman was surprised to see Sophia come out of the Li Villa, but she politely nodded at her. Sophia nodded back in response.
After getting in the car, Colin didn't glance at Sophia.
The car slowly left. Sophia ran for a little while to another villa of the Li Manor and found Harold and Angie.
On the open space in front of the villa, Jordan had set up a variety of fitness equipment for the two elders. To avoid the rain and snow, there was also a roof built on top of the equipment. There was a small lounge nearby.
"Grandpa, grandma." Sophia approached the two elders.
Angie was surprised to see Sophia, "Sophia, didn't I tell you yesterday not to wake up early?"
Sophia used to do morning exercises with them before she went to Z Country.
When the family chatted last night, Angie mentioned this, but Sophia disagreed.
"Grandma, I'm not up early. Have you been exercising for 20 minutes?"
Sophia stood in front of the parallel bars and tried to press her leg.
