The waiter thought for a while. "Miss, if you want to taste the devil pepper, I can ask the cook to put one into the dish. Three devil peppers at the most."

"Good. I want three peppers in the dish." Sophia had tried four devil peppers in a dish before. Thinking the devil peppers here might be a different spicier kind, Sophia asked for three devil peppers.

Colin blew out a smoke as the waiter left. "It's not healthy for the stomach if you eat too much spicy food."

Sophia took a sip of lemonade. "I'm okay."

She liked eating spicy food a lot and her tongue had gotten used to the taste of pepper.

"Why didn't you pick up my call?" Colin hadn't forgotten what happened that afternoon.

Sophia smiled. "Mr. Li, I didn't want to spoil your beautiful date."

Colin's eyes darkened. "We were not on a date. There were several other people there too. For the last time, Leila and I are not in that kind of relationship!"

"You don't have to explain it to me." Sophia meant that he didn't have to lie to her because she could figure it out by herself.

The man flicked away some cigarette ash and looked at her lightly. "Sophia, please don't make me mad."

Sophia's eyes widened at his words. How could he say that she made him mad? On the contrary, Colin was the one making her mad! Colin was good at changing the facts.

Sophia dropped the topic. She didn't want to say anything about it any more. All she wanted to do now was eat, then go home early for a good rest.

She was quiet, but Colin broke the silence. "I've decided to send Aaron to high school to study again."

Sophia shook her head. "Now is not the right time to send him to school. If I were in A Country, he could go to school. Are you letting me go back to A Country?"

Forget it, she shouldn't have said anything.

Colin took a deep drag on the cigarette. "One year!"

He would bring her back after one year.

"Okay." Sophia let out a sigh. She was worried about her father in A Country.

Sophia's phone rang, breaking the short silence in the room.

It was a call from a stranger.

She answered the phone curiously.copy right hot novel pub
