Female NovelChapter 389
"Stop it, boss. I was just joking!" Adler peeked out from the kitchen.
Jenna said, "Colby, I remember you had already transferred your assets from overseas. So, why did you use Adler's card to buy skincare products for Sophie yesterday? You can't just exploit him like that."
"That money is reserved for something important and is not to be touched for now."
Jenna rolled her eyes. "All that money! Are you saving it for the wedding or something?"
Colby responded nonchalantly, "Yeah, something like that."
Jenna was taken aback. "Seriously?"
Sophie's cheeks flushed red, and she immediately grabbed the glass of water and sat down on the couch, saying awkwardly, "I'm hungry, too. When will dinner be ready?"
"It's almost done! Three people and not a single pair of hands have come to help me!"
"I'll help!" Jenna immediately raised her hand and rushed into the kitchen.
Adler rolled his eyes to the heavens. "My lady, are you really trying to help? It would be a miracle if you don't make a mess!"
"Adler! How dare you complain about me? Believe it or not, I'll twist your ear off!"
"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare."
Inside the kitchen, Adler and Jenna's bickering continued.
Sophie sat on the couch stiffly while Colby took a seat not too far from her, maintaining a distance to give Sophie some breathing room. Sophie couldn't help but steal glances at him. Colby was wearing simple loungewear, his shoulders broad and waist slim, his physique long and perfect. The loose loungewear revealed his delicate collarbones. Without his usual military-like trenchcoat, Colby seemed softer.
"I'm looking good, huh?" Colby suddenly spoke, and Sophie quickly averted her gaze.
Colby's voice became gentler, "Turn around. Let me show you."
I don't want to see!" Sophie's refusal was absolute.
It was an involuntary, uncontrollable glance, and by the time she realized it, she was already so embarrassed she wanted to hide..
"Colby, stop dawdling! Hurry up and take her away! Otherwise, you'll be waiting to eat burnt fried eggs and overcooked porridge!"
Hearing Adler's desperate cry from the kitchen, Colby said. "I'm coming."
He headed to the kitchen, and within moments, Jenna was squeezed out by the two men. Jenna was dissatisfied but helpless. She walked over to Sophie, saw her blushing face, and understood immediately. "Adler, that clueless man, has no sense at all! Doesn't he know to give you and Colby some alone time!"
Sophie helplessly shook her head, saying, "Jenna, stop it!'I'm not in the mood to think about these things right now."
"I know, but a woman needs to plan for her future too. You can't be Mrs. Burke in name forever. You need to ΕΙ

Sophie gave a bitter smile. "It's useless if I'm the only one e only one who wants a divorce, James doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."
However, she indeed had some matters she wanted to investigate. The dream from her past life still puzzled her to this day.
Perhaps she needed to dig into some matters related to the Russell family based on what James had done in her past life.
Jenna placed her hand on Sophie's, saying, "Now that James has lost Nichole, he's even less likely to divorce you. Sophie, let Colby handle this."
"No, this is between him and me. Besides, I don't want to trouble Colby anymore."
