Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 429

"It's not too late now."

Colby's eyes were filled with tender affection.

To outsiders, Colby was like an emissary returned from hell. Everyone was afraid of Colby. They dreaded him.

But the Colby in front of her was always a man of few words, occasionally cunning and unorthodox in his actions—a defiantly charming man.

This Colby was endearing and by no means frightening.

"Wait here for me."

Colby went downstairs and brought up a heart-shaped dessert. It looked like a cherry jam-filled sponge cake.

The thought of a serious and earnest person like Colby making a heart-shaped dessert warmed Sophie’s heart.

"Try it."

Encouraged by Colby, Sophie took a small bite. The taste of cherry was bittersweet. The sourness was intensified, but the aftertaste was delightfully lingering.

"You would have made an incredible chef."

"I used to be one."

"I remember you told me you once worked as a barber."

"That too."

"Could you share more about your past with me?" Curiosity sparkled in Sophie's eyes.

"Alright."

Sophie prepared to listen to the stories she had only heard bits and pieces of from Adler and Jenna but rarely from Colby himself.

Like why Mr. Elwood from abroad had taken notice of him.

How he made a name for himself overseas, becoming renowned far and wide.

Later, Mr. Elwood set his sights on sixteen-year-old Colby.

To eliminate those at odds with the White family, he had blood on his hands, climbing step by step to the head of the White family.

Sophie listened quietly when Colby suddenly said, "This is what outsiders know as the entirety of my story."

Sophie was taken aback. "What do you mean, what outsiders know?"

Was this story not the real situation?

Colby gently tapped on Sophie’s forehead, saying, "These stories are half-truths and half-fictions."

"Like what?"

"For instance, the identity I hide behind." Colby's tone was heavy.

Sophie fell silent for a moment.
