Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 101

As Adler spoke, all eyes turned to Sophie.

Sophie quickly snapped out of her reverie, touched her flushed cheeks, and said, "I might be coming down with a cold."

"You shouldn't take a cold lightly. I'll have Colby take you to the clinic later." Jenna, standing by, was itching to create an opportunity for the two to be alone.

Sophie shook her head. "It's nothing serious. I'll be fine soon."

Jenna pulled Sophie to sit down, and while Colby had a simple breakfast, the plates of the other three were overflowing with nutrients.

Having had drinks the night before, they craved something greasy and spicy, and the spicy beef quesadillas they had were indeed appetizing.

Colby had only a few bites before he started to clear up the dishes. Adler saw him grabbing his jacket to leave and asked, "Where are you off to so early in the morning?"

"Just out for a bit of air." Colby said, closing the door behind him.

Adler muttered, "Is he going to the farmers' market this early?"

Jenna couldn't hide her frustration. "Such a blockhead!"

Sophie quietly ate her breakfast, and about half an hour later, Colby returned with a large shopping bag.

Adler stared at the shopping bag in Colby's hand for a while and asked, "Did you really go to the market?"

Colby set the bag on the table and took out bananas, grapes, apples, milk, yogurt, and two packs of dried plums.

"For the hangover." Colby's voice was calm, as if discussing something mundane, and then he picked up a fruit knife and began peeling an apple.

Jenna nudged Adler excitedly, "He really has some skills. I underestimated him!"

"That’s nothing! I can peel apples for you, too!"

Well, in truth, her feelings for James had always been one-sided.

"What are you daydreaming about? Don’t you like it?" Colby asked.

Sophie came back to reality, shook her head, and said, "I'm not picky."

Then, Sophie started eating the apple with her fork.

Logically, apples weren't in season, but these tasted wonderfully tart and sweet.

Sophie asked, "Do you often buy fruit?"

"Nope, it's the first time." Colby responded casually.
