Sophie remarked, “You have a real knack for picking fruit, better than my housekeeper!”
Colby just smiled.
Of course, he wouldn’t mention that he had tasted one of each fruit himself, which was why it had taken him so long on the road.
‘Buzz-buzz-
A faint buzzing could be heard coming from the bedroom.
Jenna said, “Sounds like someone’s phone is ringing.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Everyone glanced at each other.
Adler stated, “I don’t make a habit of putting my phone on silent.”
Colby remained silent, and Jenna pulled out her phone. “Mine’s right here.”
It was then that Sophie remembered she had put her phone on silent after hanging up on Colt’s call yesterday, feeling irritated.
Sophie quickly pulled out her chair and rushed to the bedroom. The phone was buzzing in the bedroom, and it was Colt calling.
Sophie quickly answered the phone, “Hello?”
Hearing Sophie’s voice, Colt sighed in relief, “Madam, I’m glad you’ve finally answered.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Burke was looking for you last night, and when he found out you had left with Colby, he got so upset he just hung up on me. He hasn’t even gone to the office today. Can you please reach out to Mr. Burke and ask him to come to the office? There are important decisions that need his attention.”

Sophie’s expression darkened. What was James playing at?

“James called me all night long, and now he’s blocked me.”
“What? That’s crazy.” Jenna was annoyed just thinking about James’ furious approach for Nichole’s sake. “How did you even convince yourself to marry him?”
Sophie replied, “You might not believe it, but I was the one who pursued him.”
Jenna looked at Sophie in shock as if to say, Really, that’s some taste you have!”
After a while, Jenna regained her composure and tried to find excuses for Sophie. “Well, it’s understandable. Before marrying him, you or a monster. Besides, James is quite handsome. It’s normal for a young woman to wouldn’t have known whether he was a good man
