Sophie's words were final, her eyes void of any affection.
James stood frozen, fists clenched.
Sophie scoffed, "What's the matter? You're not leaving? You want to stand here and be insulted by me?"
Colt couldn't stand it any longer and whispered, "Mr. Burke, it's time to go."
Sophie averted her gaze, refusing to give James another look.
James slowly backed away, his eyes still on Sophie until, with a heart full of reluctance, he turned and left.
In the car, Colt caught a glimpse of James in the rearview mirror, silent and brooding. "Mr. Burke, she is just angry with you. She might come around in a few days," Colt couldn't help saying.
"I don't understand why she won't accept me," James' voice was deep with emotion.
"Maybe it's because of the incident with Ms. Nichole. No woman wants her husband to have a child with another woman," Colt suggested.
"No, I'm not talking about that. It's something earlier."
"What do you mean?"
James looked up, frowning. "I mean, even before that."
Colt was confused, not following James' train of thought.
But James knew. Sophie had been rejecting him for a long time, her eyes devoid of love. He still remembered how Sophie used to chase after him.

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....
