“Stop it, boss. I was just joking!” Adler peeked out from the kitchen.


    Jenna said, “Colby, I remember you had already transferred your assets from overseas. So, why did


    you use Adler’s card to buy skincare products for Sophie yesterday? You can’t just exploit him like


    that.”


    “That money is reserved for something important and is not to be touched for now.”


    Jenna rolled her eyes. “All that money! Are you saving it for the wedding or something?”


    Colby responded nonchntly, “Yeah, something like that.”


    Jenna was taken aback. “Seriously?”


    Sophie’s cheeks flushed red, and she immediately grabbed the ss of water and sat down on the


    couch, saying awkwardly, “I’m hungry, too. When will dinner be ready?”


    “It’s almost done! Three people and not a single pair of hands havee to help me!”


    “I’ll help!” Jenna immediately raised her hand and rushed into the kitchen.


    Adler rolled his eyes to the heavens. “Mydy, are you really trying to help? It would be a miracle if you


    don’t make a mess!”


    “Adler! How dare youin about me? Believe it or not, I’ll twist your ear off!”


    “No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare.”


    Inside the kitchen, Adler and Jenna’s bickering continued.


    Sophie sat on the couch stiffly while Colby took a seat not too far from her, maintaining a distance to


    give Sophie some breathing room. Sophie couldn’t help but steal nces at him. Colby was wearing


    simple loungewear, his shoulders broad and waist slim, his physique long and perfect. The loose


    loungewear revealed his delicate corbones. Without his usual military–like trenchcoat, Colby seemed


    softer.


    “I’m looking good, huh?” Colby suddenly spoke, and Sophie quickly averted her gaze.


    Colby’s voice became gentler, “Turn around. Let me show you.”


    I don’t want to see!” Sophie’s refusal was absolute.


    It was an involuntary, uncontroble nce, and by the time she realized it, she was already so


    embarrassed she wanted to hide.


    “Colby, stop dawdling! Hurry up and take her away! Otherwise, you’ll be waiting to eat burnt fried eggs


    and overcooked porridge!”


    Hearing Adler’s desperate cry from the kitchen, Colby said. “I’ming.”


    He headed to the kitchen, and within moments, Jenna was squeezed out by the two men. Jenna was


    dissatisfied but helpless. She walked over to Sophie, saw her blushing face, and understood


    immediately. “Adler, that clueless man, has no sense at all! Doesn’t he know to give you and Colby


    some alone time!”


    Sophie helplessly shook her head, saying, “Jenna, stop it!‘I’m not in the mood to think about these


    things right now.”


    “I know, but a woman needs to n for her future too. You can’t be Mrs. Burke in name forever. You


    need to speed up the divorce. process.”


    Sophie gave a bitter smile. “It’s useless if I’m the only one who wants a divorce. If James doesn’t


    agree, there’s nothing I can do.”


    However, she indeed had some matters she wanted to investigate. The dream from her past life still


    puzzled her to this day.


    Perhaps she needed to dig into some matters rted to the Russell family based on what James had


    done in her past life.

    Jenna ced her hand on Sophie’s, saying, “Now that James has lost Nichole, he’s even less likely to


    divorce you. Sophie, let Colby handle this.”


    “No, this is between him and me. Besides, I don’t want to trouble Colby anymore.”
