LittleNovelChapter 783 The car accident Leticia caused left Sophie pretty banged up. Colby couldn't help but notice the bruises and cuts all over her, a flicker of sharpness crossing his eyes.
Sophie reached out, cupping Colby's face with a smile that made her eyes crinkle like crescent moons. "What's the matter? Feeling sorry for me?" Seeing her like this, the worry in Colby's eyes eased a bit. He tapped her forehead gently but firmly. "From now on, no more putting yourself in danger." "But this was a special case," Sophie said, rubbing her sore forehead. "Don't worry, it won't happen again." Leticia was unpredictable, a real wild card. But thanks to her, Sophie had managed to gain even more of Odie's trust.

"Of course!" Still looking pleased with herself, Sophie got another tap on the forehead from Colby. "If you weren't hurt, I'd have to teach you a lesson." Sophie pouted, "I'm already this hurt, and you still want to hit me?" Looking into her big, teary eyes, any anger Colby had melted away. He spoke softly, "How could I ever hit you? If anyone deserves a hit, it'sfor not being more careful and letting you get into danger." Hearing that, Sophie covered his mouth with her hand, frowning. "Stop talking like that!" A smile crept into Colby's eyes as he held the hand she had over his mouth. ".. Alright, I'll stop." Just then, Rick knocked on the bedroom door.
"Colby, Ms. Sophie, the boss is waiting in the study for you two. He wants to know when you can come." Before Sophie could say anything, Colby answered, "Whatever it is, it can wait till tomorrow." Sophie lightly smacked Colby's arm and called out to Rick, "We'll be right there!" "Sophie..." Colby looked a bit forlorn. Business could be handled anytime. It didn't have to be now.
Sophie pinched Colby's nose. "Business is important. It won't take long." Seeing her insist, Colby had no choice but to agree.
A few moments later, freshly dressed, Sophie and Colby walked hand in hand into Gordon's study.

Gordon, sitting at his desk, took off his gold-rimmed glasses when he saw them. I know they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but no need to make it so obvious."
Sophie pulled her hand back, embarrassed, but Colby immediately took it again. "She's my wife. I'll hold her hand if I want to." Then, Colby helped Sophie sit on the sofa next to him.
Gordon's expression remained indifferent. He tossed a stack of documents to Colby. "Oglie and thẻ Pollard Family's daughter are engaged. The engagement was just announced. Think about our next move." "The Pollard family?" Sophie frowned.
Why the Pollard family? In her past life, Odie was supposed to get engaged to Leticia, forming an alliance with the Gibbs family.
How did it end up being an engagement with the overseas Pollard family? Gordon said, almost to himself, "I was surprised too. I thought he would engage with Leticia Gibbs."
