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

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 w
However, Colby v
she stopped minding
ing 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
