Chapter 198 Delaying Tactics

Sophia toyed with her food on the plate as she mulled over the question she had been meaning to ask all evening. She looked up every now and then to the silent man sitting opposite her. Finally, she broke the silence. "Colin, you knew I wasn't the woman in the video, didn't you?"

The chopsticks Colin was holding went still. "Eat first."

"..." Sophia slammed her chopsticks on the table and shot up from her seat. "I'm done!"

As she was about to walk out of the dining room, the man behind her demanded coldly, "Come back!"

Ignoring it, she walked straight to the living room to grab her purse and headed for the door. From the dining room, Colin raised his voice, "Think about Ambrose."

Colin suddenly felt sorry for himself. He needed his son to stop Sophia from walking away from him.

To his relief, Sophia stopped in her tracks. Looking angrily at Colin, who didn't even bother to turn and face her, she said spitefully, "Ambrose is Dorothy's son. Since I hate her, I wouldn't care if I don't see her child anymore!"

Though Sophia said she didn't care, she didn't take another step.

She couldn't bear the thought of not seeing the boy anymore.

Just thinking about it made her feel awful.

"Who told you he's Dorothy's son?" Colin finally looked over to Sophia, who was obviously upset.

"He's not? Don't tell me you have another woman! I'll despise you even more! Isn't Brody three years old? That means you were having an affair when you were still with me. Was it while I was pregnant?" She clearly remembered Colin telling her that he wasn't having an affair.

But now, it seemed the lie had been exposed. How was he going to defend himself now?

"Come back and eat your dinner!" Colin insisted.

Sophia glared at him. "To hell with dinner, I'm sick of your attitude! I'm not eating!" She flung her purse back on the sofa and sat down with her arms crossed in front of her chest, fuming.

Sophia decided to stay for Ambrose's sake. But that was all she was going to do. She wouldn't give in to Colin.

"Aren't you going to finish your dinner?" Colin added some fresh fish on Sophia's plate.

"No!" Sophia refused loudly. She had made up her mind not to go back to the table.

Colin put down his chopsticks. "If

Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

e that there was something wrong with Sophia, but he couldn't figure it out.

Remembering that she was in Colin's apartment, Sophia hurriedly shook her head. "I'm fine, Hugh! There's really no need to come and see me. I'll go to work tomorrow!"

Hugh paused. "All right. Please call me if you needed anything!"

"I will. Bye, Hugh."

...... Sophia hung up, wondering who had asked the day off for her.

Since she didn't have to worry about work, she walked to the bedroom and went back to sleep. When she woke up again, it was dark outside.

There were several missed calls on her phone. She slept so soundly that she didn't hear them.

Two were from Wendy, and four were from Wade.

She called Wendy first. "Auntie, I'm sorry I didn't hear your calls."

"That's all right. Actually, Brody was the one who called you. Come here, Brody. Sophia's on the phone!" Wendy called his grandson who was on his way upstairs.

Ambrose was feeling down. But as soon as he heard Sophia had called, his eyes lit up with excitement. In a few strides, he ran down the stairs and grabbed the phone from Wendy. "Sophia, why didn't you answer my calls? Don't you love me anymore?"

Sophia chuckled in amusement at his antics. "Of course Aunt Sophia loves you! I'm sorry I didn't hear your phone calls. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"

"All right! Because I love you very much, I won't get angry!" The boy replied proudly. In a different tone, he said, "Sophia, let's have dinner tonight. My treat!"
