Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 47 I Don't Want to Get Hurt Again

Sophia couldn't cry, it was a sign of weakness.

Colin didn't know how to comfort her. He could only hold her quietly for a long time before he said,

"Don't cry."

... Sophia stopped crying.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breathe of Colin's scent. She wanted to enjoy the brief moment of

happiness between them.

As the rain grew heavier, Colin took off his coat and wrapped it around her. "Let's go back."

Sophia shook her head, "Colin, there's something I want to tell you."

"Okay."

"Since we're getting a divorce in the future, we don't have to get too close to each other. We should live

our own lives and get divorced at the right time, okay?"

After saying that, Sophia could feel Colin's cold gaze on her. She lowered her head, and didn't have the

courage to look up.

After a long time, a key fell into her hand. "The plane leaves at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late."

Colin strode away under the rain in only his shirt, without looking back. He looked invincible as he

walked away.

I'm sorry, Colin. I don't want to get hurt again.

As Sophia sat in the driver's seat, she realized that she forgot to return his coat.

She got off the car, but Colin had already walked away. All she could see were two endless rows of dim

lamps shining on the long road.

Inexplicably, her heart began to ache.

At 7 o'clock in the morning

Sophia rushed to catch a cab to the airport. When she arrived, she took out her ID card, and went

directly to the check-in counter for her ticket.

She received a first class ticket from the counter.

It must've been booked for her by Colin.

Sophia looked around for Colin in the waiting area, but she didn't find him. She found herself a seat

and waited.

A man in the VIP lounge watched her every move.

Sophia found out a few minutes before the plane took off that Colin was seated beside her. Wade sat

on Colin's other side.

Smiling, Sophia greeted Wade. She ignored Colin and turned off her phone as if nothing had

happened.

Closing her eyes, she waited for the plane to take off.

Colin and Wade were talking about the business in A Country. Sophia pretended to sleep the whole

time.

When the stewardess came for a security check, she heard Colin say, "Please give her a blanket, thank

you."

Within half a minute, something soft covered her body. She opened her eyes and saw it was a blanket.

"Thanks." She murmured, huddling herself in the blanket. She closed her eyes again.

After the plane took off, Colin and Wade stopped talking and started sorting through the documents.

Because she got up early that morning, Sophia quickly fell asleep.

Before they got off the plane, Wade woke her up.

Outside the airport, there was a car waiting at the airport gate. It was a car from the SL Group.

Wade sat in the passenger seat, so Colin and Sophia had to sit in the back together.

"Are we heading to the company now, Mr. Li?"

Colin thought for a while and said, "Go to the house first."

"Yes, Mr. Li."

In the Li House

Happily hugging her daughter-in-law, Wendy looked her up and down, "Sophie! You look more beautiful

since we last saw each other!"

Not used to praises, Sophia felt shy, "Not really, mom. I look the same."

They chatted for a while to catch up with each other. Colin suddenly stood up from the sofa, "There's

an emergency in the company. I have to go now."

"Colin." Wendy called.

"Yes, mother?"

"Come back early after work. I'll cook some more dishes. Let's invite Levi and your father back too. We

can have a family dinner tonight."

Colin glanced at Sophia as she sat silently on the sofa, "All right."

As he walked away, Sophia suddenly remembered something and quickly caught up with Colin, who

was changing his shoes.

Thinking Sophia was reluctant to let Colin go, Wendy smiled.

"Mr. Li..."

"You're home." Slipping his shoes on, Colin coldly interrupted her.

"Uh... I... I want to..." Sophia suddenly felt she was being too impulsive, "Well, never mind. Sorry for

interrupting you."

She turned around and prepared to leave.

"What do you want?" Colin called her back.

Sophia hesitated for a while before saying, "I want to go to the cemetery this afternoon, but it's difficult Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

to get a cab from there. Can I borrow one of your cars? The cheapest car will do. I'll return it tonight!"

Colin glanced at her and calmly said, "I'll send a driver to pick you up in the afternoon."

"No, thank you. I can drive myself."

Colin paused. "Then I'll tell the driver to give you the car."

Sophia was silent for a moment. "Okay, thank you."

Hearing her polite words, Colin's eyes filled with anger. He finally left, slamming the door shut behind

him.

Sophia stared at the door with a sigh. He must have found her troublesome. He wouldn't be so angry

otherwise.

When she came back to the living room, Wendy wasn't there. It seems she went upstairs to make up

the room for the couple.

Sophia hurried upstairs, and found Wendy making the bed in Colin's room.

When Wendy saw her, she began to nag, "Sophie, come in. Why didn't you tell me that you're coming?

I could've prepared your room in advance."

"Mom, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please don't be upset." Sophia helped Wendy spread the sheets.

Wendy stopped her, "Sophie, I'm not angry at all. Don't apologize."

Wendy let out a sigh. Sophia was always too cautious in her presence. Wendy was afraid that she was

unhappy.

Having no daughter, Wendy doted on Sophia like she was her own.

She felt bad when Sophia was careful around her.

"That's good to hear, mom!" Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

They chatted for a while as they made the bed. Later, Wendy asked, "How are you and Colin lately?"

"We're doing great. Colin is good to me."

Wendy frowned, "I want the truth. Don't lie to me."

Sophia winked and put on a smile for Wendy, "Mom, I meant every word. When someone bullies me,

he speaks out for me. He also buys me beautiful new clothes and new skin care products. Rest

assured, mom."

When she talked about Colin, a spark of happiness filled Sophia's eyes. Although it was brief, it lasted

long enough for Wendy too see.

Wendy nodded in satisfaction, "Good, I'm relieved! The next step is to try and have a baby, okay?"

Although Sophia is still young, Colin isn't. It's time for them to have a child.

At Wendy's words, Sophia lowered her eyes replied softly, "We'll try harder."

Have a baby? How could they do that? They were going to get divorced.

"Sophie, you're a good daughter. Daughters are always better than sons. I gave birth to two sons, but

one of them never visits, and the other is completely unreachable. How dreadful!"
