Chapter 1229 Getting Closer

Colin's phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth. When Sophia called, the call automatically connected to the speakers. Everyone in the car could hear their conversation.
"I'll go back home and take you to the hospital." Colin ended the call and pulled over.
Leila remained quiet. Colin turned to her as she unbuckled her seatbelt. "Leila, you have to go without me. You can call a taxi. I'll ask Mr. Ji to meet you there and accompany you."
"Colin, is Sophia upset with me?" Leila held her handbag so tight, her knuckles turned white.
Colin snorted. "Of course not. Why would you ask that? Wait here, I'll get a cab for you."
Colin got off the car. Standing by the side of the road, he made a quick phone call to Wade.
After hailing a cab for Leila, Colin watched her enter and took a picture of the license plate number. He paid the driver in advance and waved goodbye as he watched the car drive away.
He got into his car, and drove back to the villa.
In the villa, Sophia was pretending to be ill in bed. When the door opened, she swiftly turned and saw Colin.
He came back alone.
Since Leila didn't come back with him, there was no need for her to pretend to be sick.
Getting off the bed, she asked sarcastically, "Why didn't you bring your little sister with you?"
Colin lay down next to her in bed. "I don't want to see you burn with jealousy."
Sophia glared at him. What an egotistical man, she wasn't jealous at all!
"I did you a favor, Mr. Li. What's my reward?" She sat in front of the computer and got ready to work.
"You want a reward? You can have me all night." Colin replied, twirling the car keys around his finger.
Sophia looked to him with feigned horror. "I dare not! I don't want to upset your childhood sweetheart!"
Colin's face instantly turned dark. But Sophia wasn't afraid of him. Rolling her eyes, she said
"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...
r coat, and tried on the long down jacket.
Colin's eyes darkened at her curves, visible with her fitted attire.
Suddenly feeling thirsty, he picked up the water on the table and drank it in one gulp.
If only they also offered beds to the VIP customers...
The calf-length black down coat looked loose on Sophia, but because of the color, it suited her well.
The fur collar also looked very warm.
Colin stood up from the sofa and walked up to Sophia to put the hood on her. Although only a small part of her lower face was visible, she looked beautiful.
"This will do. Try another one."
Sophia was confused why he had to put the hood on for her. She complied and removed the black coat.
The manager quietly offered other clothes to them. She knew that as the CEO of the SL Group, Colin must think highly of his own opinion. It was unnecessary for her to give her any input.
She didn't even introduce the merits of these items. Colin didn't care about money, and every item here was of high quality.
The only thing important to him was that it looked good on Sophia.
When Sophia tried the azure fur coat on, she looked a little chubby in it. But she also looked very cute.
Colin smiled. He also liked a chubby Sophia.
