Chapter 1355 Sweet Burden

Hermosa's temporary room was simple, with only one bed and one quilt. Additionally, there were two tables, a few chairs, and a closet. It was devoid of decoration and other furniture.

At noon, Sophia and Hugh stayed at the temple for a meal. When they prepared to leave in the afternoon, it started to rain.

Because it was difficult to walk on the rainy mountain road, Sophia and Hugh decided to wait until the rain stopped. But the rain got heavier and heavier, and it hadn't stopped by the time night fell.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, it was still raining. Sophia finally gave up the idea of going down the mountain. Hermosa prepared two rooms for them to stay for the night.

In the mountain, mobile phones had no cell service and everyone went to sleep early.

At the foot of the mountain, Colin called Sophia dozens of times but got no answer. After asking Aaron, he found out that Sophia and Hugh went up the mountain.

It was past 6 o'clock in the evening. Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, he asked Aaron, "When will they come back?"

Aaron didn't know either. "She didn't tell me. All she said was that they would climb the mountain, but I guess she'll be back soon."

He had wanted to tell Colin that morning. But Colin was busy outside all day.

When Colin came back in the evening, Aaron went out and they missed each other again. They didn't meet until now.

At past eight o'clock in the evening, Colin picked up his coat. "Let's go. I'll go with you and wait until Sophia comes back."

What? Aaron was confused. What did Colin mean? Was Colin going to go back home with him?

They did end up going home together. After ordering takeout and finishing the meal, Sophia still hadn't come back.

He called Hugh again but the call still couldn't connect.

Just as Colin worried himself to the point where he was ready to go up the mountain, Hugh answered the phone.

But the signal was terrible. It looked like it was still raining on the mountain. Colin asked in a sullen tone, "Are you still on the mountain?"

"Yes... went back... to sleep." Because of the poor signal, the line kept breaking up and Colin couldn't hear a full sentence.

Went back to sleep? Besides confirming that Hugh and Sophia were still on the mountain, Colin didn't get any other useful information.

As soon as the call got disconnected, Colin anxiously called Hugh several times.

On the mountain, H

Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?

dashing.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Colin looked coldly across the road while Hugh carried Sophia.

It was the first time for Sophia to see Colin wearing casual attire. He used to wear a suit all the time, but maybe this man was born to wear anything. She had to admit... Colin looked really handsome.

While she was in Milan, she learned a lot about menswear design from Eason.

She also sketched a lot of casual menswear, but none of them satisfied her.

Every time she drew her designs, she always thought of Colin. She wanted to know if he would look handsome in the clothes she designed.

She had been looking forward to designing a suit that matched Colin's style one day.

Since he was almost thirty-four years old, she had thought that a casual look would be a little inappropriate for him. Or that it wouldn't suit him at all.

Bu it turns out, that wasn't the case.

Colin wearing casual clothes not only turned out to be very suitable, but also gave off an indescribable feeling of comfort.

While she was in a daze, Colin stomped out his cigarette butt. He came over and grabbed Sophia by the ankle and threw away the muddy shoes on her feet.

Then he took her from Hugh's arms, adjusted her posture, and placed her in his car.

He didn't follow inside. Going to the trunk, he pulled out two tote bags and threw one to Hugh. "We're leaving first." Colin got into the car.

He and Sophia were in the backseat, while Aaron sat on driver's seat.

The Cayenne sped away.

Opening the tote bag that Colin threw, Hugh saw a shoebox with a pair of shoes in the style he often wore.
