Was it wrong to comfort a friend who's feeling downhearted?

It didn't seem right. Sophia must be making up an excuse to refuse him.

At the thought, Colin got off the bed and strode towards Sophia's bedroom. He tried to push the door open, but it was locked.

To avoid disturbing Leila, Colin took the key from downstairs. He opened the door and walked into the room.

Inside, Sophia was talking to Hugh on the phone. "Well, alright... I may come back during the Spring Festival."

She hadn't mentioned that she would come back to Country A with Colin. Wait, how did Colin get inside?

Sophia was surprised when she saw Colin in front of her. He had entered and closed the door without making a sound.

Hugh continued talking to her on the phone. "Sophia, I heard Leila has also come to Z Country. Have you met?"

"Yes, we've met. She's living with me!" Despite the rage clearly visible on Colin's face, Sophia gave a honest answer.

She stood up with the mobile phone in her hand. Walking to the wardrobe, she took her pajamas and completely ignored Colin.

Hugh understood that Leila's arrival would surely cause a rift between Sophia and Colin. For Sophia's happiness, he said, "Sophia, you know Colin and Leila's relationship well. But Lelia is anything but cruel. She won't fight back unless she's provoked. She's unlikely to hurt you as long as there's no serious conflict between you two.

Just treat her as Colin's sister. Don't think too much, alright?"

Sophia was silent.

Was Leila really that wonderful? Why were both Colin and Brother Hugh defending her?

"I understand, Hugh. Take good care of yourself, and don't work too hard!" She quietly put her pajamas in the bed, not even glancing at the man on the other side of the bed.

Colin narrowed his eyes at her thoughtful words. "Come to bed, love."

...

Colin spoke so loudly that Hugh surely heard it.

She replied coldly, "You and I will sleep separately tonight. Go back to your room."

Anyway, he had his childhood sweetheart.

Hugh kept silent for a while. From the conversation, it seemed that Sophia was angry.

Was it because of Leila? It was the only possible explanation.

"Sophia, don't get angry with Colin because of Leila. Since you're married, Leila will never stand a chance. Whatever she does is in vain. Trust me on this."

Even if Hugh was telling the truth, it pissed her off that Leila had embraced Colin.

Sophia's silence worried Hugh.copy right hot novel pub
