Chapter 1846

"Daughter can be given to him, but the wife is mine."

Colby planted a gentle kiss on Sophie's forehead and murmured, "You know I've done everything I can."

Feelings weren't something that came naturally to him. When their daughter was born, he couldn't quite wrap his head around the happiness that most people seem to experience. For him, it was always about Sophie. Only with her did he feel like a person with emotions, rather than some kind of robot.

He recalled his early years, when both his parents were still around. After being told he lacked emotions, they showered him with even more affection. But it was a sentiment he couldn't really grasp. Not until he met Sophie.

Maybe it was just curiosity, or perhaps an instant connection he felt when he first saw her. As he got to know her, he found himself falling for Sophie. This affection might not be what most people would recognize as love, but he knew she was as vital to him as air. He was like a man on the brink of drowning—and a drowning man can't do without air.
