Ambrose got the hint, so he immediately burst into tears. "Aunt Sophia, do you hate me? I like you so much, but why don't you want to stay here to keep me company. I feel angry!" He continued crying.
After he finished his words, Ambrose ran over to the stairs. Sophia's heart broke as she saw him cry. As Ambrose was about to go upstairs, she caught up with him and held him in her arms, saying, "Ambrose, I didn't mean that. Don't cry."
Ambrose rubbed his eyes with his hands and sobbed some more, pleading, "Can you sleep with me tonight? Or can you bring me home with you?"
"..." It was the first time that Sophia had seen Ambrose depend on her so much.
She really didn't know whether she should be happy or not. She touched Ambrose's head and said, "Okay, Ambrose, I will lull you to sleep."
After he heard her, Ambrose clapped his hands and happily hugged her. "Okay. Auntie Sophia, you should keep your words!"
When Sophia looked at Ambrose again, she didn't see any tears in his eyes or on his face. She was fooled by this naughty kid! Alas! She massaged Ambrose's head, carried him to Jordan and Wendy, and timidly said, "I will stay here tonight. I promise I won't bother you at all."
This time, Jordan and Wendy nodded at the same time... Wendy secretly gave Ambrose a thumb-up. Then, she pretended not to know what had happened just now and asked a servant to bring some fruits to them.
Sophia sat back in her seat which was beside Colin's. He looked inhospitable...
Alas! She just hoped that she wouldn't feel so awkward after he married. But she knew she still displeased him.
She wondered whether he thought of her situation...
When Sophia almost couldn't stand Colin's indifference, Jordan asked Colin to go to his study together.
In the study
They sat opposite each other at the tea table. Jordan boiled the water in the kettle, took out some raw Pu'er tea leaves, and put them into the purple clay teapot.
Colin played with the purple clay tea pet* on the tea table and flatly asked, (*TN: Tea pet is
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
hen he thought of his wife, the solemn Jordan, began to smile.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I promised the Lien Clan that I will hold a wedding for Dorothy. In this way, they will trust me, and I can avoid a lot of unnecessary doubts." After all, Colin couldn't take advantage of his son.
He definitely wouldn't bet Ambrose on this matter.
He would never do that!
"As for Ambrose, I want to know why you won't tell Sophia the truth. Aren't you afraid that she will hate you after she figures it out?" Jordan really admired Colin's guts and courage. He even dared cross his beloved wife.
Speaking of which, Jordan was sure that Sophia was Colin's beloved woman.
'Hate me?' Colin pondered for a little while and said, "If Sophia knows that Ambrose is her son, she will be happy."
Though he wasn't sure of that. But it didn't matter. He thought she would forgive him in the end!
"Hahaha, " Jordan laughed and said, "I do hope Sophia will be happy."
Colin cast a glance at Jordan. "What do you mean? Do you think that Sophia won't be happy?" Colin thought that Sophia should be happy to know that her son was alive, and it was the boy she was very fond of. He had no doubt about it.
Jordan refilled the teapot and said, "I won't meddle in your business. It's okay as long as you have full control of this matter."
"Okay, " said Colin.
