Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 540

Colby strode forward protectively, positioning himself in front of Sophie. "I said, leave Sophie alone." Colby's expression was icy.

The smile on Lennon's face vanished as well. He set down the fork he had been holding and removed his scarf, revealing an aged voice that carried an undeniable authority. "Is this how you speak to your grandfather?"

Years of living in luxury had given Lennon a somewhat fuller figure. His face bore some lines and wrinkles, though not excessively so, and his hair was graying. He maintained an impeccably neat appearance, resembling a distinguished elderly gentleman. However, his eyes, so similar to Colby's, brimmed with a wild, dangerous aggression.

"Colby, your grandfather hasn't been troubling me. We were just having a meal."

Hearing the mention of a meal, Colby's attention was drawn to the pies that were placed in front of Lennon.

Colby stepped forward and casually took a piece with his fork to ensure the pie wasn't poisoned.

"It's a bit salty," he remarked nonchalantly.

Sophie crossed her arms, saying, "Colby, I made that pie."

"It's delicious."

Lennon's expression darkened at his grandson's quick change of tone. Colby's behavior was just like his lovestruck father back in the day!

"You’ve had the pie, and I'm taking her with me. Any objections?" Colby gave Lennon, who was enjoying the scene, a cold glance.

Lennon spoke up, "I’ve prepared the meal for her, and you're just going to take her away like that? What do you say? are you leaving or staying?"

Sophie looked towards Colby, her voice soft. "Let's stay. I'm hungry."

Colby frowned, then turned to Lennon. "My wife says she's hungry. Where's the food?"

"Off you go, you've got yourself a wife and forgot about your grandpa!"

Lennon complained but was already leading the two out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

The servants had prepared a change of clothes for Lennon, and in no time, he appeared neatly dressed in the grand hall of the Costello family home.

The grand dining table of the Costello family hall was usually not disclosed to outsiders. Sophie chose a spot closest to Lennon, signaling for Colby to sit down as well.

Though somewhat reluctant, Colby sat down next to Sophie at her behest.

The long dining table seemed to distance people from one another, far less conducive to familial bonding than a smaller table might have been.
