Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Why didn't you tell me last night?!"

"I didn't get the chance!"

Adler and Jenna were about to start bickering when Sophie stepped in, "Well, he didn't get the chance, did he? After all, Mr. Adler came back and passed out drunk. There was no time to talk about the wedding."

Realizing she had let something slip, Jenna panicked and ran off.

"Jenna! Jenna!" Adler called, chasing after her.

Sophie watched them, amused by the couple's antics. They were already on their second round of arguments and still keeping secrets.

"Is it dawn already, and you're here to catch cheaters?" Colby wrapped his arms around Sophie from behind.

Sophie replied, "My conscience is clear. I wanted to sleep, but the noise from next door was too loud."

Before this, Sophie hadn't realized Adler could be such a troublemaker-clearly, he and Colby were well-matched brothers in mischief.

"Looks like we'll need to live farther away from them in the future," Colby chuckled, ruffling Sophie's hair. "Just half a month left before you become a bride. Are you ready to be Mrs. Colby?"

"Of course, I'm ready anytime," Sophie said with a playful squint. "But, is Colby ready to become Mr. Sophie?"

"I've been waiting for this day for ages."

"So the answer is..."

"The answer is yes. I'm ready to be Mr. Sophie, and I'm on standby."

Colby leaned in and kissed Sophie on the lips.

Sophie's cheeks warmed, her fair face blushing instantly. Her already rosy lips seemed even more luscious, truly irresistible.

Suppressing the heat rising inside him, Colby scooped Sophie into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom.

Sophie tapped Colby's shoulder, "Stop it! You're still injured!"

"It doesn't matter."

Colby's gaze lingered on Sophie's lips; even a light bite seemed like the ultimate temptation to him.

He had been enduring for days

because of his injury, but only he et

knew that whenever he saw the person he deeply loved, he couldn't control himself.

Colby leaned down for a kiss, passionate and a bit aggressive.

Sophie's body melted under his touch, turning into a puddle of desire, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

That sound broke Colby's last bit of self-control.

With a hoarse voice, Colby whispered, "Sophie... you really are a little temptress."

Sophie's face was as red as could be as Colby kissed her collarbone, whispering, "Today, the elderThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

groom shouldn't see each other the day before the wedding."

"Colby, since when do you follow rules?"

"I never did, but... this time, I want to."

"What, afraid of tempting fate?"

"Yes, I'm afraid."

What started as a joke turned serious in Colby's eyes as he caressed Sophie's cheek, whispering, "I'm afraid if we break tradition, the heavens will take you away from me. Even though I fear nothing on this earth, the only thing that scares me is not having you by my side. So... this time, ITP be

superstitious, just this once."

Hearing this, Sophie reached out her hand, entwining her fingers with his, "Silly, I'm not going anywhere."
