Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1458

Once everything was settled, Colby made his way back to Sophie, effortlessly scooping her up from the couch like he'd been doing for the past month.

Sophie, who had hardly needed to walk on her own, teased him with a playful grin, "Colby, if you keep pampering me like this, my arms might still work, but my legs are going to stop cooperating." "Doesn't matter to me," Colby replied with a genuine smile. "I could carry you forever." His strength was impressive, and even in his later years, he'd probably still be lifting weights like it was nothing. Sophie was light as a feather, making it easy for Colby to lift her without breaking a sweat.

Back in their cozy room, Colby gently laid Sophie down on the bed. The dim light cast soft shadows as he settled beside her.

Sophie looked over at him, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You always watch over me when I'm asleep. This time, let me be the one watching over you."

"Alright," Colby agreed, holding her hand and placing it over his heart, as if drawing comfort from the touch.

Sophie let him be, soon hearing the steady rhythm of his breaths. Colby was a light sleeper; even the faintest sound could wake him.

Not wanting to disturb him, Sophie watched him quietly, tracing the strong lines of his face with her eyes-his prominent nose, thin lips, the slight rise of his Adam's apple, and his elegant collarbones. Suddenly, Colby murmured, "How am I supposed to sleep with you staring at me like that?"
