Sophie had no intention of creating too much tension with James. Since Colt had already asked her fora favor, she felt obliged to help.
She took a taxi to the Burke residence, and upon arrival, she saw Marian sweeping the yard.
Marian was ecstatic to see Sophie and hurried to open the door. “Madam! You’re finally back!”

“Marian, is James home?”
“Yes, yes, he is at home!”

Marian coughed twice as she entered and addressed James, “Sir, Mrs. Burke has returned.” Sheemphasized the word ‘Mrs. heavily.
James then looked up, giving Sophie a cold glance as if she were a stranger. “Who allowed you into myhome?” His tone was full of disdainful interrogation.
“James, don’t be so upset. Maybe Sophie just forgot to take something with her, Nichole said beforesweetly smiling at Sophie. “If you forgot anything, you can just tell Marian to mail it to you. There is noneed to make a trip here yourself.”
Sophie merely gave Nichole a cold look before turning to James. “You didn’t go to the office today?”
James scoffed, “Who are you to meddle in my affairs?”
“Do you think I want to? Colt called me because he couldn’t reach you and asked me to get you to theoffice.” Sophie’s voice was equally cold.novelbin
“I’m busy,” James said dismissively.
Sophie glanced at Nichole, who was asking James for help with her studies, and remarked, “This is youbeing busy?”
Nichole looked apologetic. “Sophie, I’m sorry for taking up James’s time. My grades have beendropping, and I wanted his help.”
“Why are you explaining yourself to her?” James tenderly stroked her head. “Focus on your work,sweetheart.”

Turning to leave, Sophie paused and turned back, “Also, I’ll have the divorce papers drafted and sentover as soon as possible. Please sign them.”
