Chapter 1228 Colin’s Cooking

Colin didn't relent. It didn't seem like he heard her request.
A month after Sophia met Cora, Sophia received a call from her saying that the first phase was a success. The photo she sent Sophia made her chuckle.
By the time she returned to A Country on New Year's Day, she could carry on with the next phase.
Sophia has been taking traditional Chinese medicine recently. She was lucky that the medicine she got was already prepared and sealed well when she went to see the traditional Chinese medicine physician.
She didn't have to prepare the medicine in the villa and spread the the smell everywhere.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Sophia was struggling with a bag of 10oz of medicine when Colin brought Leila back to the villa.
Seeing Leila dressed in a lavender woollen coat in front of her, Sophia rubbed her eyes and wondered if she was hallucinating.
"Colin, where's the smell of traditional Chinese medicine coming from?" Leila fanned her hands, as if she hadn't seen Sophia taking the medicine.
Colin also smelled it. He was about to ask Aunt Liu what happened when he saw Sophia drinking the medicine.
A trace of worry flashed in his eyes. When did Sophia start taking medicine? Why didn't he know about this?
"Why are you taking traditional Chinese medicine?" Colin came over and asked her gently.
After taking the medicine, Sophia said curtly, "I'm nursing my body."
Colin realized that he hadn't kept his promise. When he was taking care of her at his office lounge, he said that he'd take her to a doctor.
Leila looked at Sophia doubtfully. "What happened? Can't get pregnant?"
Sophia didn't know if Leila said that on purpose, but since she was half right, Sophia admitted without hesitation, "Yes, my husband is anxious to have children, so I have to take good care of myself."
Colin didn't say a word. He fixed his eyes on Sophia as she tidied up the bowls and empty bags.
Leila rolled her eyes and held Colin's arm
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
asked Colin, "Colin, I'll be meeting with the manager of an entertainment company in a nightclub. Can you accompany me?"
On her way upstairs, Sophia heard Colin say, "I need to work with Sophia tonight. I'll ask Mr. Ji to go with you."
Sophia smiled. It was the exact response that she wanted to hear.
"Sophia, can you put off work? The meeting won't take long. I'll come back with Colin soon. Is that all right?"
Faced with Leila's expectant look, Sophia was unable to refuse.
She glanced at Colin's blank look and nodded, "All right."
If Sophia wasn't mistaken, anger seemed to flash through Colin's eyes.
Leila was delighted. "Thank you, Sophia! Colin, Let's go!"
The villa was restored to silence, putting Sophia in a sullen mood. She regretted her actions.
Why did she agree with Leila?
Back in her room, Sophia received a WeChat message from Colin. "Sophia, you're dead! I'll get back at you for this!"
...
Colin's warning frightened Sophia, and she rushed to call him.
The call was connected quickly. "Yes?" Colin asked.
Sophia hesitated a bit. Without thinking if Leila could hear her or not, she grit her teeth and said, "Darling, I suddenly have a bad stomachache. Can you come back for me? Well... It really hurts! There must be something wrong with one of your dishes..."
