Trapped with Colin Chapter 63

Sophia scratched her head awkwardly. "Hugh, Colin and I... got married."

...

Colin strode to end the video call immediately as soon as Sophia finished talking.

It gave Hugh time alone to himself to think about the news.

"Colin, you're back now. Are you tired? Let me prepare a bath for you..." Colin's sudden appearance caught Sophia off guard.

The man glanced at her and ignored her question. "Who let you move in?"

"Because... I wanted to move in." She wanted to say that would take good care of him, but she swallowed the words and kept it to herself.

Putting his hands into his pockets, he cruelly refused her. "Get out."

His blunt rejection embarrassed Sophia. She clenched her teeth, her pale face emphasizing the flush on her cheeks.

"No, I'm not going. I'll stay here and take care of you." She said the last words in a low voice.

Colin was silent for a while before he said sarcastically, "How would you take care of me?"

"I can cook for you and clean after you. I'll prepare your bath and wash your clothes." Sophia eagerly enumerated the list of things she could do to please Colin.

But Colin shot her down quickly. "Everything you mentioned is the job of a servant."

...

Sophia fell into silence, hesitating whether she should stay or leave.

"I'll say it again, get out!" Colin drove her away ruthlessly.

Feeling aggrieved, Sophia inhaled sharply. "Colin, you're different at the office. You're usually very nice... Why do you treat me this way?" He was a gentleman with other people, including his clients. Why was he always so cold towards her?

Her question made Colin feel guilty, but he kept the hard look on his face. "You deserve it!"

If she hadn't betrayed him, he would still love her. But she didn't care about her private life. Why should he be nice to such a woman?

Sophia opened her mouth and wanted to explain herself. But the fact was, Colin never believed her despite her numerous attempts.

She gave up. "I want to..."

Before she could finish, Colin grasped her wrist and dragged her to the bedroom door.

Sophia was so frightened that she struggled hard. Then she threatened, "Colin, if you kick me out, I'll call mom and tell her that you have a lover, you treat me bad, and won't let me live in the house."

Her loud cries toned down at the incredulous look in his eyes.

"Sophia, you're completely unreasonable." Colin's harsh rebuke upset Sophia into tears.

She realized that she was indeed being unreasonable.

But this was Colin, the man who got the best doctor for her father and saved her brother. She could be unreasonable with him.

"That's right!"

...

Colin loosened her wrist. "As you wish!"

The man strode out and left her alone in the bedroom. Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

Colin wasn't that cold-hearted to her, good!

She had intended to prepare a bath for him, but decided not to because Colin might be still angry with her. It's better to stay away from him for now.

Back in his bedroom, Colin threw his coat on the sofa restlessly. The tearful look on Sophia's face was etched on his mind.

The phone was ringing. It was Herring.

"What's up?"

"Colin, Hugh called me just now."

Actually, the three of them were good friends.

They often got together when everyone was in A Country.

Then, Colin took over the position as the CEO of the SL Group and became busy with work. He constantly traveled back and forth to different countries.

Hugh had entered the entertainment industry and was now a famous star. He had received many projects.

Herring founded a company and developed his networking with others. Besides, he was busy picking up girls.

There were few chances for the three friends to get together. The last time Colin and Hugh met was half a year ago in the United States.

Meeting up was beyond expectations.

The woman Hugh was in love with had married Colin.

Colin heard it from Sophia earlier, otherwise he would have never known that Hugh and Sophia were childhood friends.

Colin was thirty, Herring was twenty-nine, and Hugh was the youngest at twenty-five.

Age didn't reflect everything. Although Hugh was only twenty-five, he could handle everything competently.

Colin was a gentleman, Hugh was cold and indifferent, while Herring enjoyed freedom.

It wasn't by chance that they knew Hugh, because A Country was now controlled by four clans: Li Clan, Pei Clan, Ji Clan, and Huo Clan.

The Lien Clan could only be counted as the fifth.

Therefore, it made a sense that the three knew each other. The four clans were close to each other. As heirs of the families, the three men became good friends during social gatherings.

Colin was silent on the phone as Herring kept talking. "How do they know each other?"

The first thing Hugh asked was to confirm with Herring if it's true that Colin had married Sophia.

Herring confirmed the news for him.

The second thing Hugh wanted to know was why he wasn't aware of it.

Herring told him that they kept it a secret to everyone, he had only learned of it recently.

The third thing Hugh wanted to know was why they got married and had to keep it a secret.

Herring was rendered speechless with his questions. "I don't know."

Colin said lightly, "They grew up together."

"Oh my god, Hugh and Sophia grew up together? No, there's something unusual. Hugh rarely cared about people. Does he..." Herring didn't finish his sentence. As a playboy, he knew exactly what Hugh felt.

Colin didn't deny it.

Herring covered his forehead. It was a terrible love story. His two best friends were in love with the same woman. Sophia, who grew up with Hugh, married Colin...

Someone was knocking at the bedroom door. Colin narrowed his eyes. Because it was late, it could only be Sophia.

Ending the call with Herring, Colin went to open the door.

Sophia stood outside, holding a tray. "I didn't know you would be back tonight, so I didn't buy any food. I found some sweet dumplings in the fridge and cooked them for you. Do you want to eat?"

The maids were responsible for cooking meals. Sophia wasn't good at it.

Sophia wanted to eat sweet dumplings the night before, so she bought them in the supermarket and cooked herself some to eat.

It tasted good. Sophia wanted to cook it for Colin some time.

But Colin flatly declined, "No."

Then he closed the door forcefully.

"Ah!" Sophia yelled when the door was shut, and Colin quickly reopened the door.

Outside, the sweet dumplings were in a mess all over the floor because the door had hit the tray. Sophia wasn't injured from the steaming dumplings because she wore pants and cotton slippers.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Worry filled Colin's eyes, but it vanished soon. Colin stopped Sophia from crouching down to clean the mess. He looked her up and down.
