Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1708

Gordon playfully pinched Sophie's nose, chuckling, "Remember to protect the things you love and don't go trusting people so easily, alright?"

Sophie nodded eagerly, like a little bird pecking at seeds. "Don't worry, big brother, I won't fall for Nichole's tricks again."

Clutching the bracelet she had just reclaimed, Sophie felt a wave of relief. It was a custom gift from her brother, something she had always treasured and kept close. If it hadn't been for Nichole's deception, she wouldn't have let it out of her sight. Gordon watched Sophie with a gentle smile that reached his eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that, big brother?" Sophie asked, a bit puzzled. "Do I have something on my face?"

"The things you love should be held tight so they don't slip away," Gordon said, ruffling her hair, his words carrying a meaning that went over Sophie's head.

Suddenly, Sophie reached up and grabbed the hand that was tousling her hair. This unexpected move made Gordon pause.

"You said the things you love should be held tightly. I'm just doing what you said," Sophie declared with determination.
