Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1417

"Sophie, I've told you before, if I ever lie to you, my life is yours to do with as you please. Whether you want to cut me into a thousand pieces or pierce my heart with a thousand arrows, it's totally up to you."

Colby looked at her with such sincerity that Sophie couldn't help but think Reece had to be wrong.

How could she not love someone who loved her so deeply?

"I was just asking, you know, no need to get all serious."

Sophie's voice was gentle as she gave Colby a quick peck on the cheek. "You've had a long day, get some well-deserved rest."

"Alright," Colby replied softly.

That night, he held her tight.

Sophie lay there, unable to sleep, and whispered, "Colby, I don't think we've ever had a real fight."

Sure enough, Colby was wide awake too.

He chuckled lightly, "Maybe you should find something small for us to argue about, just to cross it off your list."

"I don’t want to fight."

Sophie turned to snuggle closer to Colby, saying, "If you’re fooling me, keep it up, but please, don’t ever let me find out... that you don’t love me."

"I love you," Colby said with a deep, resonant voice.

But his love... it was different from others.

Colby knew it well.

Sophie was the most important person in his world, the one he wanted to spend his life making happy.

There would never be another person as important to him as Sophie.

In the middle of the night, once he was sure Sophie was asleep, Colby gently tucked the blanket around her.

In the dim light, his sharply defined features softened, losing all expression.

He gently brushed his fingers across Sophie’s cheek, then quietly left the room.

Leaving just Odie and Colby in the room.

Odie shrugged, "Yeah, I said it. So what? You gonna kill me?"

Before the words settled, Odie felt a gust of wind by his ear. He turned to see a knife embedded in the wall. In a flash, Colby was advancing.

Odie's face darkened.

He knew he was the weakest fighter among them, and soon enough, he was cornered by Colby.

Seeing Colby was serious, Odie muttered, "It wasn’t me who said it!"

Colby's knife was pressed against Odie's throat, any closer and it would pierce.

Odie said, "If you're that scared, just tell her yourself! Why sneak over here like a coward? Even if I keep quiet, she’ll figure it out sooner or later."

Colby’s brow furrowed, and as he pulled back the knife and turned to leave, Odie called out coldly, "Colby! Did you even hear what I just said?"
