Harold's gaze flickered with a hint of melancholy as he said, "I've come back this time with a special mission."
Sophie was puzzled and asked, "What special mission?"
Stepping forward, Harold tapped Sophie's head and laughed, "If I told you, it wouldn't be special, would it?"
"It's such a wonderful day. I'll call Jenna, Adler, and Colby over. We'll all give you a warm welcome back."
"Colby?"
"Yeah, Colby."
Harold fell silent. He had been away for six months and was unaware that Sophie and Colby had grown so close.
Harold heard Sophie mention Colby in such a familiar tone and sensed their subtle affection. It seemed a lot had happened during his half-year absence.
Gordon spoke up, "There's no need for you to send out invitations. I've already sent out invites. Everyone should be arriving later today."
"Mr. Gordon, you're always so thoughtful, I..."
Before Sophie could finish her polite response, Harold grabbed her wrist, saying, "Come on, I want to show you my treasures!"
"But I wasn't finished talking!"
Sophie's protest was cut short as Harold pulled her away. Harold's impulsive nature hadn't changed, acting first without thinking of the consequences.
He led Sophie to his room and opened his suitcase, revealing all the honors he had achieved in the past six months. "See? Impressive, right?"
"Indeed, I underestimated you before," Sophie admired the certificates and medals in the suitcase that Harold carefully preserved.
Harold couldn't help asking, "So, you and Colby... are you two together now?"
He had been able to check his phone weekly while on duty, but news could only come in dribs and drabs, especially during the period Sophie was reported missing at sea. Harold was desperate to return but was bound by military rules. He couldn't intervene or be by Sophie's side and was relying on his brother for updates instead.
Now that he was back, Harold had also heard about Sophie and James reconciling. Yet Sophie's tone when mentioning Colby earlier had unsettled him.
