Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 36
"It's just one of our company's employees who helped pick out the gift. I thought a girl might be more attentive to the details."
James watched Sophie with a touch of affection in his eyes. If Sophie hadn't already known James' true feelings, she might have been fooled by that look.
Jessica caught the intimate interaction between James and Sophie and couldn't hide her displeasure. She had clearly heard rumors about James and a young college girl. Moreover, everyone knew James didn't care for Sophie.
"James is not only talented but also protective of our Sophie. I feel at ease handing her over to you. My elder brother in heaven would definitely feel the same. Besides, it's just a family dinner, no need for formalities." Perry happily bustled about, inviting James to join the table.
Sophie, linking her arm through James', whispered, "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor."
"Likewise." James' voice returned to its usual cool detachment.
Jessica sat uncomfortably, her glances frequently darting towards James and Sophie, as if trying to spot some flaw in their interaction.
"Jessica, is there something on my face that you keep looking this way?" Sophie suddenly spoke up, making Jessica squirm.
She replied, "I was just admiring how loving you and Mr. Burke appear, completely unlike the rumors."
"Rumors can't be trusted, Jessica. How could you believe such baseless chatter?"
Sophie served James a piece of steak.
James usually preferred lighter meals, but this time he ate the steak without any remark, and then placed a piece of deboned fish onto Sophie's plate.
Jessica forced a smile, "Yes, rumors can't be trusted. Today has really opened my eyes to how much Mr. Burke cares for our Sophie."
