Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1585

Colby gently kissed Sophie's forehead. For months, he'd been missing Sophie intensely. The rumors flying around about their supposed marital troubles had been like a constant itch he couldn't scratch, and more than once, he was tempted to confront those spreading the nonsense. But he held back every time.

Right now, all he wanted was to hold Sophie's hand and tell the whole world she was his one true love, his forever partner.

"Has it only been two months? Why are you acting like such a kid?" Sophie teased, poking his cheek.

Colby took her hand, replying, "It wasn't just two months. It was sixty-three days, one thousand five hundred and twelve hours, ninety thousand seven hundred and twenty minutes... Every single second apart, I was thinking about you."

"Me too," Sophie said with a smile, leaning in to kiss the corner of his mouth.

There were so many nights when she'd wake up, reaching for the pillow next to her, only to find it empty. Over these two months, she'd realized just how much more Colby meant to her than she'd ever thought. He wasn't just part of her life; he was her whole world.

"Colby, I don't care how others define love. All I know is, 'I love you' doesn't even begin to cover how important you are to me."

Her heartfelt words brought tears to Colby's eyes, and he swallowed hard. He used to think of himself as a heartless creature, living life just to go through the motions. Without emotions, existence was torture. Once, Lennon gave him a reason to live, driven by revenge. Then he met Sophie, and realized how vibrant life could really be. He wanted to live for her, always be by her side.

Whether the future held happiness or sadness, as long as she was there, even hell would feel like heaven.
