Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1472

When Sophie and Colby walked back in, Reece quickly found an excuse to end his call.

Sophie asked, "Did you head out without letting Ada know?"

"It's work-related this time. Ada was just briefing me on tomorrow's schedule."

Reece shut his laptop, noticing Sophie looking a bit frazzled. He remarked, "You two are back already? Seems like the investigation hit some bumps."

"It's not that it was bumpy, just a bit of a wild ride. Colby can fill you in on the details."

With that, Sophie plopped down onto the couch. Colby, as was his routine, warmed up a cup of milk for Sophie and fetched a slice of cake from the fridge he'd prepped earlier. He didn't stick around but instead headed to the kitchen to boil some eggs. Noticing that Colby wasn't eager to chat, Reece raised an eyebrow, "Sophie, your husband doesn't seem too fond of me."

Hearing Reece call Sophie that again, Colby's grip on the egg tightened until it exploded in his hand.

Reece chuckled, "Seems like I've dropped in at the wrong time. Should I pack up and leave?"
