Sophie''s lips curled into a slight smile after seeing the confident looks on the threedies'' faces. This was getting interesting.


    "What are you all talking about?" Colby asked as he walked in from outside. He was casually dressed in a white shirt with no tie and carried several elegant little bags.


    The threedies'' eyes lit up at the sight of Colby. He wasn''t just influential overseas; he was also incredibly handsome-rich, powerful, and charming. With a husband like that, who would want to leave home? "We didn''t expect to see you home during the day, Colby. If we had known, we would have brought an extra gift."


    "Colby is so good to Sophie, always staying home with her. Unlike our husbands..."


    Their faces turned slightly red. Even though they were older, they still had their allure. Sophie could see their interest in Colby.


    Before Sophie could say anything, Colby spoke up. "My wife is new here and still getting used to the ce. Feel free to chat, but please, don''t take her out on any wild adventures. She''s not used to it." Colby''s voice was gentle but carried a hint of warning. Thedies, seasoned in social subtleties, quickly picked up on his message and made excuses to leave.


    Sophie leaned back on the sofa, sipping hertte. "All done?"


    "All done," Colby replied as he ced a pink bag in front of her.


    Inside were adorable French pastries. Sophie immediately brightened up, her eyes sparkling. "How did you know I wanted something sweet?"


    "I figured they''d go well with yourtte," Colby said, arranging the cakes in front of her. "If you don''t want to see the people whoe by, you don''t have to. Don''t worry about me."


    "How could I not? I''m Mrs. Costello now. Besides, they brought gifts. Why wouldn''t I ept them?"


    ncing at the high-end jewelry, bespoke gowns, and limited-edition handbags on the sofa, Colby raised an eyebrow. "My wife shouldn''t have to wait for their gifts. Whatever you want just tell me, and I''ll give you my card."


    Sophie, nibbling on a cake, replied, "Your money is already with me. Where are you getting money from?"


    Out of nowhere, Colby produced a stack of bank cards-ck, gold, and tinum-each exuding wealth.


    "Just got these. They''re all for you," Colby said, cing the stack of cards into Sophie''s hands.


    No woman could resist such a gesture from her husband, and Sophie''s eyes crinkled with joy. "Not bad, keep it up." "At your service," Colby responded.


    Sophie propped her chin and nced at the red gown on the sofa. "Perfect, I''ll wear this tonight."Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
