Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 123

Although Colin noticed Sophia's aversion, he trusted her.

"Okay. Let's go!" she said, deliberately yanking his arm.

"Have a good rest, granny, " said Colin, who tucked Renee tight into her bed. "We will visit you soon."

Together, Colin and Sophia left the hospital in Colin's car. Seeing that Sophia was texting, Colin shot a look at her and said, "Sophie?"

"Yes?" Startled, Sophia looked up.

"If there's something happening, just tell me, okay?" He was certain that Sophia was keeping something from him.

Sophia paused for a while, then said, "What if... I don't want to say anything at this moment?"

She didn't want to tell Colin what she was planning for yet, not until she succeeded.

Her words confirmed his suspicion. "It's okay, honey. But always remember that I am your husband. In your hour of need, you should come to me first."

Sophia remained quiet for a while, and nodded. "Sure." It was touching. Her eyes were filled with tears. Sophia leaned to Colin, and hugged him tightly.

Colin smiled, pressing his lips on her forehead.

They stopped at a restaurant for dinner and sat down at a table by the window. Colin leafed through a menu, while Sophia got up to go to the bathroom.

At the end of the corridor near the bathroom, a middle-aged woman in expensive clothes was talking on her phone. Accidentally, Sophia heard a familiar word, "Jay Lo..."

She paused. Was it a coincidence?

The woman suddenly turned her head. Her clownish makeup made her eyes look sharp.

Her lips were painted in the most popular maple-leaf red. She parted her lips and said, "Don't hurt So..." She stopped when their glances met.

As they exchanged a glance, Sophia saw contradictory feelings surged in the woman's eyes.

Confused, Sophia stole away. She didn't seem familiar. Plus, the woman struck Sophia as being very rich, which made it even more unlikely that Sophia would know her.

She wouldn't have thought anything of it had she not heard her father's name.

After all, it was not polite to eavesdrop on other people's private conversations. Ashamed, she quickened her pace.

Obviously, there was more than one Jay Lo on the planet. It wasn't unique by any standard.

As she dismissed it from her mind, the woman quietly reported to the other end, "I just saw Sophia Lo."

"Where do you see her?" On the other side, the person she was talking to asked.

Putting herself together, Sandra - for it was Sandra - answered sternly, "Let's call it a day, Mr. Pei. I don't want you to hurt Sophia Lo. And I won't take part in your plans."

When Sophia returned, Colin slid her the menu. "What do you want to eat?"

"You haven't ordered yet?"
