Chapter 35 Our Marriage Will End in Divorce

The sunlight poured into the room. It enveloped Colin in a warm, golden light.

Some people just hit the genetic jackpot. Colin, eldest son of the Li family, was one of them.

He was handsome, charming and excellent at almost anything he did. There wasn't a woman who wouldn't want him.

......

Sophia was the complete opposite. In her mind, she was the most common, ordinary woman in the world. If one day she suddenly disappeared, she doubted anyone would even notice.

Colin looked at her. With no other place to possibly fix her gaze, Sophia Lo dumbly looked met his gaze. Their eyes met. Sophia quickly reorganized her thoughts. "Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

"First, you can close the door."

Sophia turned obediently and closed the door. She stood to the side of it waiting for Colin.

"Tell me everything what happened with Quincy. The last time you asked for leave. Don't spare me any detail." Colin sat on a couch with his legs elegantly crossed in front of him.

The were a perceptible change in Sophia's eyes. "Do you believe me?" She said suspiciously.

If she told Colin about Quincy's advances, would he instead think that she had tried to seduce him? After all, in his eyes she was just some dumb, floozy woman.

"Of course I'll believe you!" Colin noted in a trustworthy way..

Sophia reflect over the matter briefly, and decided to tell him everything that had happened on that day.

When she got to the part about Quincy touching her hand, a darkness seemed to grow in Colin's eyes. Did he take her for a liar?

Sophia looked straight into Colin's eyes. "Mr. Li, I have no idea what you're after, but I have told you the truth. I swear it!"

Colin left the couch and walked over to her. He raised her hand and asked in an indifferent tone, "which hand did he touch?"

Sophia suddenly feared that he might now believe her. She raised her hand before him, "my left hand."

What Colin did next surprised Sophia. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.

"I know."

"You know what?" "And after that?" "…Nothing else happened."

Sophia was confused, and looked at the man holding her hand curiously. What did he really want?

"A senior meeting will be held today. You will come with me". Colin released her hand, and put his own hands inside his pockets, looking at her.

The Sophia that was standing before him now seemed change. A far cry from what she used to be.

Bac

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

t to use me up so you can abandon me?"

Colin touched his lower lip with his index finger. Inspecting the finger, he saw his blood. Sophia was fierce. She bit me! And broke the skin too!

"You're my wife? Why can't I sleep with you? Plus, you get around. Why does it matter? I'd just be another one of you lovers." Thinking about Sophia with other men, Colin felt an urge to track them down, and beat them to death.

Sophia took a deep breath while considering Colin's hasty, hurtful words. She quickly controlled her reaction, suppressing her anger.

"Colin, I don't want you.. "How can a virgin sleep with me? Go and find other women to practice with!". With this, Sophia pushed Colin away, opened the door and left in a frenzy.

Back at her office for private consultant, Sophia closed the door quickly. She stood behind the door and patted her beating heart.

Colin, that bastard. Maybe she didn't really know about his private life. Whatever he did, it certainly wasn't all innocent fun. What a surprise that he kissed so well. He had definitely been with other women…

Sophia wiped her lips with great effort.

Though, reflecting back to Colin's bloodied, lower lip, Sophia couldn't help but smile.

The 22th floor.

Colin walked into the office quickly with Sophia following him closely.

Everywhere they went, Sophia could hear the sound of gossip among the employees.

What was wrong with Colin's mouth? Was that a… bite mark? Was he bit by a woman? Which woman? The office was full of questions.

As they strode towards the meeting room, Sophia pretended to be deaf. Colin remained silent.
