Uncontrollable Fondness

Chapter 38



Knocks on the door sounded, Rebecca called outside, “Director, Missus is on the line.”
His face twitched, William turned and grabbed some clothes and walked out without looking back. Mia looked surprised at the door closed shut,
wondering if she was dreaming.
Sophia was still at the hospital. William had to take care of Sophia and run the company. He practically didn't show up. He came back at night but at
irregular times. Sometimes it’s dusk and sometimes it’s after midnight. But he will somehow find time to get physical with her.
But somehow whenever they were climaxing, the phone rang and then they would stop. Either William would leave directly or he will speak on the
phone for a long time and then leave. All of the calls were from Sophia because she was the only one William loved unconditionally.
She knew that she would never get William’s love. He only loved her body. Mia accepted her destiny and was honest to herself. She rubbed her
abdomen and softly sighed. These few days she had tried to look for an opportunity to discuss with him about the child’s future but he was always so
busy.
She wanted to bring up the child on her own and hoped that William will grant her wish.
But concerning these questions, she had never seen William coming into the room. By the time she could react, William had already hugged her.
“That... wait a while.” Her body was easily seduced by him. Mia started to breathe deeply but she endured the thoughts and pushed him off. William
pushed her hands away and in a few moves he took off her clothes. Mia anxiously slipped away from him and as she stepped on the floor, he lunged
forward and pinned her onto the carpet.
Immediately he was kissing her all over making her dizzy with arousal. After a long kiss, William’s handsome face raised and looked at her rosy
cheeks, smirked, and said, “So you like to do it on the ground.”
“No, I just want to ...” discuss something with you.
The unsaid words were blocked by the lips which rushed over sealing her lips with his. She was unable to express herself.
Her body was under his control, his large hands grabbed her delicate waist. Her clothes were thrown far away. His clothes were still neat, a slim fit
business suit, sky blue shirt, and a silver striped necktie. He didn’t look like he was doing anything intimate but attending a high-class conference.
Mia bit her lips as she felt the warm breathing into her ears, she saw her snow-white body shake under his large hands.
From the side, she glanced at the sky blue ceiling, and further down was a slightly opened door. The door started to open and a pair of high-end mid-
high heels were revealed matched with a long purple dress.

Someone’s here!
Mia reacted and a woman screamed, “Ah...”
William’s expression panicked and raised his head. Mia also looked up. Sophia could not believe it and stood shakily at the door.
“William dear, you...” The slender finger pressed on her mouth, her large eyes started to tear and flowed down her cheeks. She looked devastated,
Mia’s heart skipped a beat.
William swiftly left Mia’s side, not bothering that she was naked and dashed towards Sophia, “Sophia dear, why are you back?”

“William dear, I’m sorry.” She continued to cry and apologize. Mia quickly grabbed a bedsheet to cover herself. Sophia was trembling and was clearly
very sad but kept apologizing, “I didn’t expect to see you all... I’m sorry, William dear, I’m sorry, I’m useless and yet...”
“Do not cry, I am the one who should be sorry, Sophia, I’m sorry.” William held onto her face and kissed the tears, sincerely apologizing for the hurt
that he caused as he held tightly to Sophia.
Sophia’s tear-soaked face looked across and Mia blushed and was so guilty that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
William carried Sophia like he was carrying a slab of precious jade. The gentle voice said in the corridor, “Let’s rest, I will stay by your side.”
When you truly love someone, you can love unconditionally. You can become sad or happy just with a tear or a smile by the other person. Mia finally
experienced what was known as love. This was from the heart, unadulterated and sincere. Someone as cold as William could become so warm and
caring for the person he loved.
Where was she in his heart? What was she to him? A passer-by? A tool? An ointment for his wife?
To matter what, she only had to wait. Once this is over, she will no longer be in his memory.
Sophia refused to go back to the hospital and stayed in the house. In order to avoid awkwardness, Mia locked herself in the room.
The Brown residence became livelier. Each day the garden would have Sophia’s gentle voice and William’s caring concerns. Each time, it was either
Sophia was in his arms or he would guide her along the garden. Her smile was sunny and warm, piercing right into Mia’s heart.
She clearly understood that she was just a passing guest of their lives. Once her usefulness was over, she would be ejected from their world without
a word of thanks.
Rebecca appeared and Sophia laughed and said something to her. William turned together with Rebecca and looked towards Mia’s direction.

Mia quickly dodged and didn’t want to be seen by him. A few minutes later, there were knocks on the door. Rebecca said emotionlessly, “Missus
invites Miss Charles downstairs for dinner.”
Downstairs for dinner? Mia froze in place awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. Rebecca sounded out again, “Miss Charles, if you don’t go down,
Missus will come up personally to invite you.”
Was there an option? She’ll have to face it eventually. She weakly replied, casually chose a dress, and changed into it, and went out.
Downstairs, Sophia and William were already seated. She laughed as she saw him using a spoon to scoop up some soup to her mouth. William
continued to look at Sophia as if other than Sophia, nothing in this world interested him.
She sat awkwardly opposite them and Mia carefully took up the fork and started shoving plain rice into her mouth.
Sophia shyly pushed away William’s hand and said softly, “Mia is here, I’ll help myself.”
William didn’t even look at her. He obediently put down the spoon and placed all kinds of food onto Sophia’s plate. Sophia decided not to mention
what happened the other day, instead, she kept encouraging her to eat.
Mia couldn’t eat a bite, Sophia’s magnanimous shone a light on her indecency. She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. It was the first time
she doubted her character.
Sophia shook William and behaved like a spoilt child, “William dear, Mia is my savior, you must treat her well, treat her much better than me!”
Slap, the chopsticks slammed onto the table. Mia’s face and ears flushed in red not knowing where to hide. William’s cold voice said, “She’s not
worthy.”
Not worthy, not worthy, she’s not worthy. Oh, William even if you are making use of me, can you not be so heartless?

Mia forcibly endured her tears and forced a smile at them, “I’ve had enough, please excuse me.” She got up and walked up the stairs without looking
back.
“Mia, wait a minute.” Sophia wanted to run after her but was pulled back by William, “You must eat more and don’t keep caring for others.” Her
piercing glare looked towards Mia who was on the stairs and smiled wryly.
With the door closed, Mia sat quietly on the bed and wrung her hands. Although she knew about William’s feelings towards her, but when she heard
the heartless “unworthy”, her dignity was deeply hurt.

Why was she so concerned about it? There wasn’t any affection between them. He loved Sophia and all those words were spoken to please Sophia.
Why can’t she just ignore them?
Outside the door, Sophia’s voice continued to drift in, “William dear, can you accompany me tonight? I’ve been having nightmares recently, I know
that it’ll affect your work but I’m really scared.”
“Certainly. I will remain by your side and won’t go anywhere.”
“Okay.”
The footsteps became more distant and the corridor was quiet again. Mia knows that William won’t be coming today. Ever since they were discovered
by Sophia, William never came to her room. It was as if he had forgotten about her.
It’s better this way that they maintained the distance, then they won’t be too intertwined when they separated.
Perhaps it’s because of her pregnancy that she starts to feel sleepy very early and she gets into bed before eight. She slept until she woke up
because she was thirsty. She turned on the light and rubbed her eyes as she poured a glass of water and she heard some noises when she walked
back.
Who was it? She looked at the door handle. Before she slept, she locked the door and the door handle was being manipulated and opened in a few
seconds.
“William?” She almost dropped the glass when she saw the person at the door and immediately pulled a face. William entered without asking and
looked at her skimpy nightgown as he squinted and walked to the bed.
Mia stood in place without moving and pursed her lips. She asked sarcastically, “Why are you here and not with your wife?”
William was expressionless and smirked, “You are jealous.”
“How can I, I’m not worthy!” She didn’t know why she said that and continued to stand in place.
William stood up and walked over intimidatingly and pinched her chin, “You are clearly jealous.” He could turn and leave or give her a ruthless
punishment.
No woman can be jealous of Sophia. This was his basic requirement for any of his women.
But for reasons unknown, from the time he saw her at the dining table, his mind was full of her image.
Her enchanting delicate body, her peachy petite face, she trembled as she pushed away his hand...
