Trapped with the CEO Chapter 1140 Hugh

Sophia swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking, "Mom, I have a contract signing tomorrow. I won't be home for dinner. It's a pity because I really love your food."

"Sign a contract? Where? At a hotel?"

"Yes." 'With my ex, ' thought Sophia.

"It's okay. I'll have it delivered to the company when it's ready."

Sophia, "... Mom, please don't worry so much. How about the day after tomorrow?" She wanted to cry. 'What should I do?'

Sophia felt so fortunate to have such a kind mother-in-law! Wendy was much kinder than her own mother!

"You don't have to wait until the day after tomorrow. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. That way, I can visit the company!" Wendy had been to SL in A Country but not to SL's branch at Z Country. She was curious about where her son and daughter-in-law worked.

"Ah? Mom, please, please don't. How about I ask for a leave and come back tomorrow afternoon for lunch?" At the company, n.o.body knew of her relations.h.i.+p with Colin. If Wendy visited, she would probably find out everything they were hiding from her.

"Why not?" Wendy hit the nail on the head.

Out of guilt, Sophia stammered, "To...tomorrow... I...I...will go to the...the cooperative company... for...for some work. Maybe...maybe... it will be very late when I return. I'm worried you'll have a wasted trip."

They were so busy talking that they didn't notice Colin was standing behind them.

Colin leaned against the door with arms folded, thoughtfully looking at Sophia.

What had this woman done to his mother? Why was his mother so nice to her?

What's more, why didn't he know about her trip to the cooperative company tomorrow?

"Mom, don't you understand? She doesn't want to eat your fish."

The two women were taken by surprise when they heard Colin. At his statement, both women turned to look at him.

"Why?" Wendy was looking at her son curiously.

Sophia's heart missed a beat, 'Didn't he agree not to make a scene in front of mom?'

"Mom, Colin was just kidding! I do want to eat any food you make."

"Oh." Wendy believed

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

aniel say when you could visit A Country?"

Their home is in A Country but her oldest son often worked out of the country. It had been very inconvenient not to have the family together.

Colin swallowed a mouthful of soup, "Daniel doesn't care."

"... When do you plan to go back?" Wendy sat down beside Sophia.

He glanced at his mother and noted her expectant expression. He had planned to return to A Country when he got married and after setting up the company in A Country as the intermediate point of his several companies.

However, Sophia disrupted his plan.

He now intended to take advantage of his mother's absence, invalidated his marriage, and find a woman he could love before returning to A Country.

"It depends." Not wanting to elaborate, Colin focused on eating.

In the evening, Sophia stayed in Colin's room. While she was brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, Colin entered without knocking.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm used to being alone. You first."

Colin left after he saw Sophia brus.h.i.+ng her teeth.

She ignored him, took a shower, and walked out of the bathroom.

Colin was attending to a phone call when he saw her in a pajama with a pig on it. He came over and tugged on her pajama.

Sophia was surprised with his action.

After hanging up the phone, he told her, "Please stop wandering around in such childish pajamas. I find it immature."
