Sophie remarked, “You have a real knack for picking fruit, better than my housekeeper!”


    Colby just smiled.


    Of course, he wouldn’t mention that he had tasted one of each fruit himself, which was why it had taken


    him so long on the road.


    ‘Buzz-buzz-


    A faint buzzing could be hearding from the bedroom.


    Jenna said, “Sounds like someone’s phone is ringing.”


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Everyone nced at each other.


    Adler stated, “I don’t make a habit of putting my phone on silent.”


    Colby remained silent, and Jenna pulled out her phone. “Mine’s right here.”


    It was then that Sophie remembered she had put her phone on silent after hanging up on Colt’s call


    yesterday, feeling irritated.


    Sophie quickly pulled out her chair and rushed to the bedroom. The phone was buzzing in the


    bedroom, and it was Colt calling.


    Sophie quickly answered the phone, “Hello?”


    Hearing Sophie’s voice, Colt sighed in relief, “Madam, I’m d you’ve finally answered.”


    “What’s the matter?”


    “Mr. Burke was looking for youst night, and when he found out you had left with Colby, he got so


    upset he just hung up on me. He hasn’t even gone to the office today. Can you please reach out to Mr.


    Burke and ask him toe to the office? There are important decisions that need his attention.”


    “He was looking for me?” Sophie was puzzled.


    Why would James seek her out all of a sudden? James hadn’t shown any interest in her wellbeing


    before, had he?


    Sophie checked her phone, and indeed, there were many missed calls fromst night, but they had


    stopped at three in the morning. “Madam, I think Mr. Burke does care about you. Maybe you should


    give him a call back…”


    “I understand, thank you.”


    Sophie ended the call, thinking of sending James a message, but as soon as she dialed, it rang only


    once before a cold, mechanical voice answered. “The number you have dialed is currently busy.”


    Sophie patiently sent James a message. [Had a few too many drinksst night. Dil you need


    something?”


    As soon as she sent the message, it showed that she had been blocked.


    Sophie’s expression darkened. What was James ying at?


    Sophie hadn’te out of the bedroom for a while, so Jenna walked in and asked, “Is everything


    alright?”


    “James called me all night long, and now he’s blocked me.”


    “What? That’s crazy.” Jenna was annoyed just thinking about James’ furious approach for Nichole’s


    sake. “How did you even convince yourself to marry him?”


    Sophie replied, “You might not believe it, but I was the one who pursued him.”


    Jenna looked at Sophie in shock as if to say, Really, that’s some taste you have!”


    After a while, Jenna regained herposure and tried to find excuses for Sophie. “Well, it’s


    understandable. Before marrying him, you or a monster. Besides, James is quite handsome. It’s normal


    for a young woman to wouldn’t have known whether he was a good man


    be momentarily dazzled.”


    Sophie smiled helplessly.


    At noon, Sophie decided she would still go back to the Burke family home to see what was go
