James said, "Get in the car."
Sophie took the passenger seat, but James didn't start the car right away. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "Bea is just afraid you're not serious about me."
"I know."
Sophie wasn't naive. The Devins family was, after all, of modest means. With Bea's high standards, how could she possibly approve of James and Calla?
Bea merely thought Sophie had been disobedient lately, so she used Calla to provoke her.
The Devins family still relied on the Burkes for financial gain and naturally hoped to send their daughter over.
"If you don't like her, I'll find a way to send her away."
"Without Calla, there will be others like Lily, Zoe and Harper." Sophie's tone was indifferent. "In any case, she poses no threat to me. I'm not afraid to keep her around."
James pursed his lips. He reached out to fasten Sophie's seatbelt, clearly feeling her instinctive attempt to dodge. He paused, then became even more careful.
"You're very afraid of me."
"Not at all." Sophie's reply was brisk.
"Why are you avoiding me?"
It was the same this morning. He really couldn't understand what he had done to suddenly make Sophie so afraid of being in contact with him.
Sophie frowned. "You're overthinking it. I'm just not used to this, that's all."
"It's okay. I'll give you time to get used to it."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
