Sophia drank up the bowl of soup before she started to eat the other dishes.
Perhaps because of Colin's warm care, her cramps started subsiding. The sharp pain became dull and tolerable.
After dinner, they went upstairs together. After telling Sophia to sleep early, Colin went to the study to work.
Sophia went back to the bedroom and got in bed.
Because she had a long nap in the afternoon, she wasn't sleepy. After a while, Sophia took out her phone to pass the time.
When she opened WeChat, a client's update caught her attention. It read, "You can call Miss Duan as Mrs. Wen now. We're about to hit the sack now. Bye, everyone!"
Huh? That sounded familiar.
Ah. Earlier, Colin had said something similar to the press.
Sophia's heart filled with happiness as she recalled Colin's words.
When she opened Weibo, she saw that Colin's name was one of the top searches.
She clicked it. There was an article on Colin Li and his wife Sophia Lo keeping a low profile since their marriage, and how affectionate they were to each other.
There were also two photos of them included in the article. Colin's photo was taken from a magazine, while her photo was taken by the reporters when she left the company building.
Below was a new photo of the two of them together. In the picture, Colin was smiling at the camera, making him even more attractive.
Sophia checked the comments section. The netizens seemed to have various opinions about their match. Some were Leila's fans, who believed that Colin should be with her. These people were very upset that Colin had chosen someone else.
They were cursing Sophia. Some even accused her of being manipulative for not only beating Leila in the competition, but also winning Colin's heart.
Sophia was speechless.
What were they talking about?
Upset, Sophia put the phone aside and prepared to sleep.
Colin finished work and went to bed. He was displeased to find that Sophia was in her room instead of their shared bedroom. Didn't she want to sleep with him?
In her deep sleep, Sophia felt someone kissing her, then she was being pressed down to the mattress.
"Soapy." A voice called to her.
"Yes?" Sophia replied, half-asleep.
"Kiss me."
... Subconsciously, Sophia wrapped her arms around the man's neck. Without opening her eyes, she pressed her lips to his.
Pleased, Colin fiercely kissed her back.
But he soon found himself losing control.
"Soapy." His voice turned hoarse in lust.
Sophia hummed, turning to the other side. But Colin didn't relent.
He pulled her close, until there was no space between them. Her scent drew him in, and his kisses became rougher.
"Sophia, this is your fault."
... Sophia's mind was still heavy with sleep. What was he talking about?
"Since you lit the fire, you have to quench it." Colin sounded adorable when he acted like a spoiled child. Sophia opened her eyes and tried to look to him.
She cupped his face in her hands, studying him intently with sleepy eyes. He was exactly the same Colin she had married, who was always cold and merciless to her.
Colin took her hands off his face, guiding them lower on his body.
It was almost daybreak when they finished.
Getting off the bed, Colin walked out and brought back a warm towel from the bathroom. He gently wiped Sophia's hands clean and tucked her back under the blanket.
