Chapter 224 I Won't Bother You Anymore
Chapter 224 I Won't Bother You Anymore
Sitting squarely on the driver's seat, Hugh hurriedly put on his clean shoes and threw aside the muddy
ones into a trash can nearby. After that, he instantly drove away.
Inside the expensive and sophisticated Porsche Cayenne, Colin opened the shoe box, took out the
fancy leisure shoes, and personally helped Sophia to put them on. It was really a sweet gesture that
Sophia was not used to.
Knowing that it was no use to refuse his gesture, Sophia just tightly bit her lips, and stared at Colin's
handsome features while she let him help put on her shoes. Why was he doing this? Was he trying to
pursue her again?
"Next time that you visit Auntie Hemosa, call me and I'll go with you. No ifs and buts. I'll go with you."
He set the shoe box aside, and then casually leaned back on his chair.
She couldn't say anything just yet. Her anger still consumed and her mind was going places.
Colin did not mind at all. He knew he should let Sophia think for a while. Then he turned to Aaron,
"Take us to the Redbud Mansion."
"Okay, brother-in-law."
Not until then did Sophia finally open her mouth, "Aaron, I don't want to go there. Take me home. I'm
your sister. Let's go home, instead."
Aaron chuckled and said, "My dear sister, brother-in-law has been waiting for you all night long. Don't
be so stubborn!"
…… Stubborn? Was she really the one who was stubborn? After everything that happened?
So what if he has been waiting for her all night long? Well, he should wait some more. In reality, she did
not even force him to wait. It was not her fault.
"Aaron, I will be really angry if you don't send me home!" At first, she was just angry with Colin. But now
she was angry with both of them? Why was Aaron so loyal to Colin, and not to her?
For fear that Sophia would be really mad at him, Aaron begged her, "Sister, please don't be angry! I'm
just doing what I'm supposed to do! Brother-in-law, how..."
"Brother-in-law? Do not call him brother-in-law! I don't want to hear you calling him that again!" "He will
marry another woman soon. How many times have I told you not to call him the wrong way! He's not
part of the family anymore!"
...... Before the two men got wind of what was happening, Sophia was already extremely angry!
Facing her anger, Colin told Aaron in a low voice, "Take us to your home. It's okay."
"No. You can't step foot in my home!" Sophia looked at the man next to her, "And, how much are the
shoes? I will transfer the money to you right now! I don't want your help!"
After those words, she took down her backpack, pulled out her phone and prepared to transfer the
money to him.
"One million! That's how much those shoes cost." He wanted to test her.
Sophia opened her eyes wide and was bewildered. "Colin, have you gone robbing banks? Are you
testing my intelligence and common sense? A pair of leisure shoes does not cost one million! That's
impossible!"
"Of course, you're right. The price of a pair of shoes won't be a million dollars. In fact, it was only 10,
000. But in order to buy you the shoes, I used my precious time, my resources, my oil and my car......
You are supposed to pay for them! So all in all, the price is actually far higher than one million. I just cut
the whole price into half for you!"
Sophia was utterly speechless because of his arrogance. How could he even demand a price for his
time? And even a fee for his resources? How dare he! Oh, it would be normal for Colin to ask for 10
million. That's right! Because he was Colin. The arrogant and selfish Colin!
He did not ignore the brimming irony in her eyes. Then he scowled and told her, "Sophia, I know this is
hard for you. But I just want to take care of you. That's all."
"I can take care of myself. Please go to your fiancee. She can please you! Don't come to me just
because you were waiting for me and that you are unhappy."
Aaron was rendered speechless as he did not dare to even make any sound. He has been living with
Sophia for nearly 20 years already, but this was the first time that he saw her in such bad temper.
Then Colin suddenly held her chin and lifted her face so she could see him right in the eyes. Looking This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
through the intimidating expression in his eyes, she suddenly felt a little regretful of being stubborn. It
seemed that Colin was fond of obedient woman. He did not want a woman who will not follow him. And
in order to take care of Brody, she has to be obedient. Was that right?
She was counting on herself to defeat Dorothy and make Brody call her Mommy! She knew that Brody
and Dorothy weren't even close yet.
...
"Sophia Lo, you can't hide your real self anymore, can you? Why are you being stubborn like this?"
Years ago, when they just got married, Sophia would always be stubborn like this. Her attitude and
harsh words always made him feel very uncomfortable.
He didn't know why Sophia became...... stronger and resentful. He didn't know why she would always
go up against him.
Now she was much stronger and more independent. But why does it feel that he actually preferred her
to be like this? He couldn't understand himself.
Now he sensed that the more rebellious she became, the more comfortable he felt......
"Pak!" Slapping off his hands from her face, Sophia lowered her head and stared at the screen of her
mobile phone. "Okay, one million! I will immediately transfer one million to you! You know I have the
money for that, right?"
It was just that if she paid the one million, she would be back to her previous life of being poor. She
would not be able to pay for her dinner at all. She couldn't even afford any food that she wanted to eat.
She continued in an arrogant tone, "How about your account number? You still use your old phone
number, right? I'll transfer it to you using my mobile app."
"No!" He refused with a sudden cold and aggressive voice. He couldn't take it anymore.
"Stop! Let me out of here! I don't want to spend another second with this man." She suddenly shouted
at Aaron.
"What's the matter, sister? We'll go home right now." Aaron was shocked at her sister's sudden loud
voice and glanced at her from the rear-view mirror.
Sophia then tried to control her anger. "Let me get out of this car. I want to take Hugh's! I feel safer
there!"
She didn't feel like staying with Colin, nor with his brother who seemed to be betraying her.
With a gloomy face, Colin retorted in dismay. "I will not allow it!"
"Can you really restrict my freedom just because you don't want me to be in the arms of another man?
And yet you are about to marry another woman yourself. You're so selfish!" Sophia was getting more
and more irritated. Colin felt very confused. Wasn't it he who should get angry? He shouldn't have
tolerated this kind of attitude!
Sophia had drunk cross-cupped with Hugh, kissed and embraced him, and even spent the night with
him. Who knew what they did that night?
"Sophia, don't be too greedy! You have done unacceptable things yourself!" His gesture to pick her up
was a compromise he had to make. It was a silent apology for everything he did against her. And now,
he got rewarded with this bad attitude?
Sophia smiled in a very sarcastic way. Greedy? Was she really the one who was greedy? She hated
Colin so much! She could still remember how he made her look like a fool by making love to her and to
another woman at the same time! And he even kissed his fiancee in front of her! He publicly displayed
his affection just so he could make Sophia jealous!
Besides, why should he even insult her with those words?
Forget it! Sophia Lo rubbed her painful temple and planned to ignore him for the rest of her life. She
didn't want to get distressed over him anymore.
They drove into the urban district in silence all throughout the trip. Finally, they stopped the car at the
entrance to the Redbud Mansion. Sophia was still repressing her anger and kept staring angrily at
Aaron.
Of course, Sophia did not get off, but Colin also wasn't in a hurry. Then he told Aaron, "Get out of here
and wait for us. Leave us alone first. Thank you."
Aaron abruptly got out of the car, smoked a cigarette and walked around the neighborhood area. He
didn't want to eavesdrop on the couple. He had too much of their arguments today.
Then Colin suddenly pressed Sophia under his body and kissed her soft, red lips.
Colin quickly unzipped her coat and leaned over to her waist.
Sophia's face turned red at Colin's obvious intention. She knew what he was about to do. But the timing
was really not proper. They were in the car and it's still daytime. On the other hand, her younger
brother was just not far away from them. What if he happened to see what they were doing?
Sophia forcefully pushed Colin away and shouted, "I'm going upstairs! Get off from me!"
With a sarcastic smile in his eyes, Colin kissed her again on the lips, "Don't be hard-headed!"
Why should I let him do this? I'm not a fool!
In the apartment
When she was removing her shoes, Sophia made up her mind that she wouldn't be captivated by
Colin's sugar-coated words this time around.
"Sophia Lo!" Colin hung his coat on a hanger and called her over. She was already sitting on the sofa.
Sophia was still so angry and frustrated that she immediately sat on the sofa without saying anything.
She really didn't want to be here.
Colin came over to her and held her in his arms. To his surprise, she didn't push him away.
He stroked her long hair back and forth, caressing it passionately, "How dare you drink wine with
Hugh? You know that was a gesture that a married couple would do." His voice was so faint that
Sophia could hardly sense any emotion.
So she softened her voice too, "Since you will be marrying someone and there's no chance I could be
with you, you don't have to care about me. Just please take good care of yourself and so will I. I won't
bother you anymore!"
'Take care? Bother me? She's not bothering me at all!' Colin slid his hand gently onto her face, "Will
you have a better life if you leave me? You would be better off without me?"
"Absolutely! Mr. Li, you can find your happiness, so can I. You're not the only person in this world who
deserves to be happy." His hands on her made her feel uncomfortable, so Sophia gripped his hand and
pushed it away.
Colin let go of Sophia and said, "Take the card away!"
"No. If you don't have anything else to do or anything good to say, I'll go now."
She had to go home and pack her bags for she had a business trip tomorrow. She couldn't stay here
anymore.
