Chapter 31 Why Are You Still Here
Sophia was astonished to see Colin on the bed, "Mr. Li, are you homeless?"
"I won't leave, not until you apologize to me." Colin sat up, and removed his jacket, then his shoes.
Sophia swallowed back her sarcasm, and grabbed his arm to stop him, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Fine, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have called your mother! I apologize!"
She couldn't even believe her eyes. How come a regional CEO behaved like a child!
Colin smiled, swatted her hand away and continued to take off his shoes, "Go get me some water
To wash my feet." No. Go to your home. I have already apologized."
"Oh, since you know you are wrong, you should compensate me for your mistake. I'm very tired now, and I don't want to move around. Besides, we are married, so your bed is my bed." Colin kicked off his shoes, and leaned back against the soft pillows on the bed. A faint fragrance greeted him. He sighed a gratified sigh, as he made himself comfortable.
Whereas Sophia tugged at her hair in despair. Why was it so hard to send him away? She thought to herself, trying to concoct a plan.
"My bed is so small and rock hard. It's an awkward bed, and I don't think you could sleep comfortably." Sophia tried to persuade him to change his mind.
Colin closed his eyes, and answered calmly, "I've slept in the barracks before.
The beds there were much smaller and harder!"
Sophia now knew he was playing tricks. "I don't have any spare toiletries!"
"I can use yours.
I don't mind if they are used." "Akh, just get out of my house." Sophia didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.
"Sophia, you've already made mother angry. If you forced me out of your home tonight, I'd call and tell her that you're always trying to get rid of me! Who do you think she would be more angry at?" Colin smirked, giving Sophia a taste of her own medicine.
Sophia knew that Colin was aware of her weaknesses. Wendy was her soft point. Sophia was afraid to make her unhappy.
"Very well, sleep then. I'll leave you be."
"Where are you going?" Colin asked, springing up from his comfortable position.
"To a hotel, I'm not staying here with you." Sophia began to grab her things that were in the room.
Colin added calmly, "Okay, then I'll tell Wendy, you stayed over in other man's house." Sophia slapped Colin's thigh. Colin was shocked by her sudden temper, and stared at her.
Suddenly, Sophia was pulled down by Colin and the next thing she knew, she had already fallen into a warm hug.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on Colin's strong chest.
They were so close to each other that she could smell the wine in his breath, and... She could also see the bite mark on his lips.
That was bit by her...apparently. She didn't notice the wound during the day. Now it was obvious when she look closer.
Their eyes locked. "If you don't want to sleep, then we can do something else. Didn't you tell me that you are experienced in many ways?
Sophia didn't feel like explaining anymore, as she had grown tired of Colin bringing this subject up again and again. After all, Colin and she were about to divorce from the start. She didn't have to explain to him that she never slept with other men.
However, she knew there was no way she could avoid it now. She pushed off him, straightened herself, and accepted her destiny. She went into the bathroom, and boiled for him some hot water.
After Colin had washed his feet, Sophia helped him throw the bathwater away.
"I'll use your toothbrush." Colin stood up to walk to the bathroom.
Sophia blocked his way when he was just about to reach the bathroom, "Not even in your dreams!"
"What did you say?" Colin looked at her in disbelief.
"I said you can't use my toothbrush. You've been drinking, and besides, who knows how many loose women you've kissed? Sophia grumbled in a low voice as she put away the towels Colin had used after cleaning them.
But her grumpy mood hadn't gone unnoticed by Colin, and silently he watched her went about cleaning things in the bedroom.
Wealthy as Colin was, he could be very vindictive at times. He would let Sophia pay for what she said later!
After putting everything neatly in their place, Sophia lay beside Colin. Even though she didn't want to share bed with him, she had only a single sofa in the room, and she wasn't ready to sleep on it.
"Are you going to take off your clothes or not? I'm about to turn off the light!" Sophia said, Turning her back to give him some privacy. Also she didn't want to stare at him.
But a thought nudged in her mind. She only had one quilt.
"Wait! Stop, Colin!" Sophia hurriedly sat up from the bed, and stopped him from unbuttoning his belt.
Colin was actually very pleased.
He saw Sophia's face flush, and teased her, "Why?" "Wait! Don't take off your clothes! I only have one quilt here!" She said, her eyes averted to her hands. "And so?" Colin responded, proceeding to undo his belt.
"You'll be naked... " She had never slept with a man before. And even when she slept in Colin's room the other night, she slept on his sofa instead. So she was not prepared for this situation at all.
But Colin ignored her. He quickly removed his pants, and stood in front of her half-naked.
Sophia desperately covered her head with the quilt and then reached out to turn off the light.
Then, Colin took off his shirt and threw it on the sofa in the dark, and returned to bed.
He slipped into the quilt, and hugged her from behind, "Sophia Lo, it's payback time. What did you just say?"
He whispered gently into her ear.
Sophia helplessly closed her eyes, and tried to squirm from him. But Colin didn't give her any chance.
"No, there must be something wrong with your ears. I didn't say anything. Move back!"
Colin didn't move back, but placed her under him instead. "Why? Sophia Lo, teach me. Show me what you can do, I might learn a thing or two."
He kissed her on the lips before she could reply.
A romantic atmosphere was encompassing the quiet room.
Sophia tried to push him away with her full strength, but failed. The sweet taste of wine in his mouth also intoxicated her.
Just when she was about to give up, Colin's phone suddenly rang, and stopped them from going any further.
Sophia quickly pushed him off her, and cowered into the quilt. Her senses were flooding back to her.
Colin breathed in a lungful of her sweet smell, and angrily shut his eyes as if he was suffering great pain. What the fuck? Who the hell was that! Who the hell dared to call him at this hour! The phone kept ringing. Colin grit his teeth when he saw the Caller ID on the screen. Then he picked it up, "Herring!"
Herring could decipher from his tone that Colin was probably in the middle of something. "Oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Something happened to Leila. She was stabbed during filming..." "So, what does that have to do with me?" He said, coldly.
"Dude, she calls you 'elder brother', after all." Herring teased.
"Herring, do you have any idea that I'm already married? What's your point, telling me about other women?" Colin gritted his teeth in anger. If Herring was here, I would break his nose, Colin thought. 00000
