She wanted a compensation? Was she jealous? This made Colin very happy.
"Okay, what do you want from me?" He stared at her with great interest.
Sophia quickly said, "You went out with another woman for a whole day. As your wife, I should get some compensation. But I'll forgive you for that if you don't make a fuss about what I did either. Let's call it even."
Colin was impressed. Call it even?
"But I don't want to call it even. What do you say, Sophia?" Colin didn't let it go.
Sophia bit her lower lip and quickly racked her brain for an idea. What should she do? How could she handle this impossible man?
Maybe she should kiss him? That's probably a good idea.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Colin. "Don't be angry... I was just playing with you." God bless! This was true, she didn't intend to have a gigolo. She wouldn't dare do that to Colin.
Colin was pleased by her kiss. This woman was smart, she knew what he wanted. "A kiss isn't good enough for your sins, darling."
Sophia was frustrated. "How about two?"
"Two? Don't forget that you still owe me tons of kisses. Do you still think two kisses are enough?" Sophia seems to have forgotten, but Colin hasn't.
He's been waiting a long time for a good opportunity to use this as an advantage against her.
Sophia was shocked. "How petty of you!" She complained.
Did she just call him petty? Colin wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded with a smile. "Yes, I'm very petty. I thought you already knew that. Since you've mentioned it, I'll be as petty as I can be."
"What?"
"You get another 99 kisses added to your debt for calling me petty, which mean you now owe me 133 kisses." There were 34 last time, and 99 this time. That made 133 in total. He couldn't wait to see how she responded to that.
Sophia couldn't say a word. She suddenly felt trapped by Colin.
Despite the stunned look on her face, Colin kissed her lips. After a long time, he let her go. "Now you owe me 132 kisses. I'll remember that."
When they went downstairs for dinner, Leila had been brought back to the villa by Herring.

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
tion.
Sophia laughed. "You don't know me at all, Miss Ji. I have unfinished business here, I won't leave A Country. I've been in Z Country for a long time, and I always looked forward to returning to A Country to find the culprit who tore our family apart."
She didn't know why she was baring her soul to her enemy. It was very irrational, but she couldn't help it.
"It doesn't matter if you want to stay in A Country. My terms will remain unchanged as long as you promise me that you'll divorce Colin, and you'll never see him again after. As long as you do this, I'll still pay you the money." To be honest, Leila didn't dislike Sophia even though she had stolen Colin away form her.
Back in A Country, she did everything she could to get a rise out of her. But she was quite different from what she had imagined. Although she didn't come from a wealthy family, she was well-bred like a highborn... if not better.
When Sophia was unhappy with Leila's actions, she didn't use underhanded means against her. Instead of turning to Colin, she directly told Leila off about how to behave appropriately. Leila liked Sophia's character.
Coincidentally, Sophia felt the same way about Leila. She found Leila a bright and noble woman. She sensed that Leila had deliberately provoked her.
"Miss Ji, Colin is married. Even if we get divorced, he will be a secondhand man. You deserve better."
