Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1436

"No matter what life throws our way, I'm sticking with you. If you ever feel worn out, just lean on me. With me around, nobody's gonna hurt you."

"We promised to walk side by side, remember? So if you get tired, you can lean on me too."

Sophie met Colby's gaze with sincerity. "Don't think I'm just a girl-I'm tougher than you might guess. With me here, I won't let anyone harm you either."

"You silly thing."

Colby gently tapped the tip of Sophie's nose with his finger. "You talk a big game. If that day ever comes, you really think I'll just stand by and watch you charge ahead?"

"Why not? There's a saying, right? How does it go again...?"

"Who says women aren't as strong as men?"

"Exactly, that's the one."

The morning breeze in Summerfield painted Sophie's cheeks a rosy hue, and her hand, adorned with a wedding ring, gripped Colby's hand more firmly.

"Colby... are you scared?"

Sophie's question seemed like she was really asking herself.
