Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1496

Sophie falling for Cassidy was as natural as breathing. As they stepped out of the club, Sophie lifted her hand, and suddenly, Cassidy felt as clueless as a rookie on their first day at a new job.

"What? Don’t know how to hold a lady’s hand?" Sophie teased, her voice playful with just a hint of a playful scold, but she wasn't really upset.

Cassidy found this side of her even more charming and quickly took her hand. Sophie noticed and a slight smile curved at her lips.

"So, where do you want to go?" Cassidy asked, his eyes lingering on Sophie, feeling warmth spread through him. Sophie was dazzling, with a presence that seemed out of place in such a setting. She just had this magnetic aura that drew people in effortlessly.

"Let's... head to a hotel," Sophie suggested. Hearing her agree made Cassidy's heart race.

In that moment, Cassidy felt like he'd do anything for her. Without thinking, he said, "I’ve got a car, I can drive us there."

"No, let's walk," Sophie replied, gesturing down the street. "There's a five-star hotel straight ahead."

"Walk all that way? You're in high heels, won't it be tiring?" Cassidy, who usually played it cool and distant, found himself suddenly cautious and considerate around Sophie.

Sophie paused to think, then said, "You're right. I won't wear them."

Before Cassidy could process what she meant, Sophie had already slipped off her heels.

Seeing her bare, delicate feet, Cassidy couldn’t stand the thought of her walking like that. He crouched down immediately, saying, "Hop on, I’ll carry you."

The paparazzo wiped the sweat from his brow, asking, "Did she… catch us just now?"

"No idea," replied the assistant, equally puzzled.

It was odd; the couple hadn’t been trying to hide at all, almost as if they wanted to be seen.

The paparazzo shrugged it off, saying, "Whatever! We got what we came for, that's all that matters."

Meanwhile, not far from them, a bodyguard from the Costello family was observing the scene through binoculars. Watching Sophie and Cassidy enter the hotel together, the bodyguard’s expression turned serious, and he quickly pulled out his phone to call Colby.
