Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 38

Knocks on the door sounded, Rebecca called outside, “Director, Missus is on the line.”

His face twitched, William turned and grabbed some clothes and walked out without looking back. Mia looked surprised at the door closed shut, wondering if she was dreaming.

Sophia was still at the hospital. William had to take care of Sophia and run the company. He practically didn't show up. He came back at night but at irregular times. Sometimes it’s dusk and sometimes it’s after midnight. But he will somehow find time to get physical with her.

But somehow whenever they were climaxing, the phone rang and then they would stop. Either William would leave directly or he will speak on the phone for a long time and then leave. All of the calls were from Sophia because she was the only one William loved unconditionally.

She knew that she would never get William’s love. He only loved her body. Mia accepted her destiny and was honest to herself. She rubbed her abdomen and softly sighed. These few days she had tried to look for an opportunity to discuss with him about the child’s future but he was always so busy.

She wanted to bring up the child on her own and hoped that William will grant her wish.

But concerning these questions, she had never seen William coming into the room. By the time she could react, William had already hugged her.

“That… wait a while.” Her body was easily seduced by him. Mia started to breathe deeply but she endured the thoughts and pushed him off. William pushed her hands away and in a few moves he took off her clothes. Mia anxiously slipped away from him and as she stepped on the floor, he lunged forward and pinned her onto the carpet.

Immediately he was kissing her all over making her dizzy with arousal. After a long kiss, William’s handsome face raised and looked at her rosy cheeks, smirked, and said, “So you like to do it on the ground.”

“No, I just want to …” discuss something with you.

The unsaid words were blocked by the lips which rushed over sealing her lips with his. She was unable to express herself.

Her body was under his control, his large hands grabbed her delicate waist. Her clothes were thrown far away. His clothes were still neat, a slim fit business suit, sky blue shirt, and a silver striped necktie. He didn’t look like he was doing anything intimate but attending a high-class conference.

Mia bit her lips as she felt the warm breathing into her ears, she saw her snow-white body shake under his large hands.

From the side, she glanced at the sky blue ceiling, and further down was a slightly opened door. The door started to open and a pair of high-end mid-high heels were revealed matched with a long purple dress.

Someone’s here!

Mia reacted and a woman screamed, “Ah…”

William’s expression panicked and raised his head. Mia also looked up. Sophia could not believe it and stood shakily at the door.

“William dear, you…” The slender finger pressed on her mouth, her large eyes started to tear and flowed down her cheeks. She looked devastated, Mia’s heart skipped a beat.

William swiftly left Mia’s side, not bothering that she was naked and dashed towards Sophia, “Sophia dear, why are you back?”

“William dear, I’m sorry.” She continued to cry and apologize. Mia quickly grabbed a bedsheet to cover herself. Sophia was trembling and was clearly very sad but kept apologizing, “I didn’t expect to see you all… I’m sorry, William dear, I’m sorry, I’m useless and yet…”

“Do not cry, I am the one who should be sorry, Sophia, I’m sorry.” William held onto her face and kissed the tears, sincerely apologizing for the hurt that he caused as he held tightly to Sophia.

Sophia’s tear-soaked face looked across and Mia blushed and was so guilty that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

William carried Sophia like he was carrying a slab of precious jade. The gentle voice said in the corridor, “Let’s rest, I will stay by your side.”

When you truly love someone, you can love unconditionally. You can become sad or happy just with a tear or a smile by the other person. Mia finally experienced what was known as love. This was from the heart, unadulterated and sincere. Someone as cold as William could become so warm and caring for the person he loved.

Where was she in his heart? What was she to him? A passer-by? A tool? An ointment for his wife?

To matter what, she only had to wait. Once this is over, she will no longer be in his memory.

Sophia refused to go back to the hospital and stayed in the house. In order to avoid awkwardness, Mia locked herself in the room.

The Brown residence became livelier. Each day the garden would have Sophia’s gentle voice and William’s caring concerns. Each time, it was either Sophia was in his arms or he would guide her along the garden. Her smile was sunny and warm, piercing right into Mia’s heart.

She clearly understood that she was just a passing guest of their lives. Once her usefulness was over, she would be ejected from their world without a word of thanks.

Rebecca appeared and Sophia laughed and said something to her. William turned together with Rebecca and looked towards Mia’s direction.
