Chapter 1457

Early in the morning, Sophie woke up to find Colby was already out of bed. Instinctively, she reached over, searching for him, and asked, “Colby...

what time is it?”

The room was silent, with no sign of Colby. Sophie got up, realizing he must have left while she was still asleep.

After a quick wash, she headed downstairs. By then, Colby was back, sleeves of his black shirt rolled up, busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

“Up so early?” she remarked.

It was just seven o'clock.

Colby had been syncing his schedule with Sophie's, getting used to her routine.

“Come on, breakfast is ready,” he said.

He'd made two sandwiches and a bowl of light oatmeal. Since Sophie’s last injury, her health had been shaky. While recovering in the hospital, she’d been in and out with fevers, and lately, could only handle light meals.

Sophie took a seat at the table. She’d slept deeply the night before, likely from sheer exhaustion, waking only with the dawn.

Colby settled next to her, gently gathering her hair up.

“Your hairstyling skills are getting pretty good,” she teased.

“It’s my duty to serve my wife,” he replied with a smile.

Just then, one of Colby’s men entered, “Boss, we've got those chapels under tight surveillance, do you think we should...”

He stopped short, realizing Sophie was present, and awkwardly mumbled, “Send more people... sorry!”

He apologized, bowed, and made a hasty exit.

Sophie turned her gaze to Colby. “What chapels?”

Colby rubbed his temples, caught off guard by his associate’s slip-up.

“I couldn’t sleep last night, so I checked out the chapels nearby,” he admitted.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Sophie playfully pinched Colby’s cheek. “Waited until I was asleep, didn’t you?”

His eyes were sincere.

Sophie’s injuries weren’t fully healed, and her recent efforts on behalf of Odie had likely aggravated them, though she hadn’t said a word. Colby had changed her bandages last night, concerned about scarring on her shoulder.

Understanding his intentions, Sophie wasn’t truly angry. She held a sandwich up to his mouth, “Just don’t keep things from me, okay?”

With his mouth full, Colby nodded, showing he got the message.

Seeing him agree, Sophie was satisfied, “Finish up and then get some rest. You didn’t sleep at all last night, did you? Trying to convince me you just woke up early?”

She tapped his forehead playfully, “You need your sleep. Keep up your strength, got it?”

Colby nodded again, obediently.

Seeing him so agreeable, Sophie added, “Let’s eat, then I’ll nap with you.”

Odie was safe now, and the person lurking hadn’t made a move. There was no need to stress over chasing clues. It felt almost like a vacation, and wasn’t that nice?

After breakfast, Colby was the first to get up and start clearing the table. Sophie lounged on the couch, watching him from the living room.

From the kitchen, Colby noticed Sophie with her chin propped up, watching him wash dishes, and hurried his pace just a bit.
