Chapter 1417

"Sophie, I've told you before, if I ever lie to you, my life is yours to do with as you please. Whether you want to cut me into a thousand pieces or pierce my heart with a thousand arrows, it's totally up to you." Colby looked at her with such sincerity that Sophie couldn't help but think Reece had to be wrong.

How could she not love someone who loved her so deeply?

"I was just asking, you know, no need to get all serious."

Sophie's voice was gentle as she gave Colby a quick peck on the cheek. "You've had a long day, get some well-deserved rest."

"Alright," Colby replied softly.

That night, he held her tight.

Sophie lay there, unable to sleep, and whispered, "Colby, I don't think we've ever had a real fight."

Sure enough, Colby was wide awake too.

He chuckled lightly, "Maybe you should find something small for us to argue about, just to cross it off your list."

"I don't want to fight."

Sophie turned to snuggle closer to Colby, saying, "If you're fooling me, keep it up, but please, don't ever let me find out... that you don't love me."

"I love you," Colby said with a deep, resonant voice.
