Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 186

Why didn't Sophie look at him the way she used to?

The more James thought about it, the crazier he felt.

Meanwhile, Sophie, who was still working overtime at the corporation that evening, suddenly sneezed.

"Are you alright?" Colby frowned.

It was just the two of them in the office at the moment.

Adler and Jenna had gone out. Sophie had been interning at Palm’s Jewels during the day, so she only managed the various corporate projects in the evenings.

"I might have caught a cold."

Sophie sipped her hot tea. She had been really overworked lately, with no time to relax.

"If you're feeling unwell, you should skip the family dinner tomorrow."

Sophie had been using the excuse of injuries from a car accident to avoid attending the monthly Russell family dinners for the past three months, but this time, she had to go.

Sophie shook her head. "I still need to go. I don’t feel too bad. It might just have been a chill. Don’t worry about me."

Colby raised an eyebrow. "You know I'm worried?"

Sophie blushed.

"I thought you didn’t realize. I sent you that ginger tea, but Jenna told me you haven’t touched it."

"I don’t like ginger tea…" Sophie murmured softly.

Sophie could not look into Colby’s eyes. She remembered clearly rejecting him before, but each time, it seemed like Colby hadn’t heard her.

Eventually, Colby didn’t seem to pursue her in any obvious way, and their interactions remained normal—sometimes even less frequent than her chats with Adler—so she stopped minding.

However, Colby volunteering to pick her up definitely meant something.

If Colby didn’t say much, she wouldn’t ask more.

At the family dinner the next day, Sophie arrived early.

Perry saw Sophie and immediately greeted her with a smile. “Sophie, you’re finally back. How’s your injury?”

Sophie glanced at Isaac, who was sitting not far away on a sofa and smiled, saying, “It’s all healed now, Uncle Perry. Thank you for your concern.”
