Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 554

A sleepless night passed, and before dawn could even break, Colt arrived to pick up Sophie and James for their trip to the airport.

The reality show's filming location was set on a secluded island, which the production team had booked in advance. There were several guest couples, but each divorced couple was provided with their own separate apartment.

Sophie and James were assigned an apartment on the island, and perhaps due to James' status, the production team had prepared a villa with a small garden for them. Although it wasn't as large as the Burke family estate, this two-story home still boasted a respectable size of around a hundred square meters.

The other guests were scattered across different areas of the island, which ensured that Sophie and James wouldn't encounter them too soon.

The production team's request was straightforward: they only needed Sophie and James to live in this tranquil garden home for a month. For the sake of gathering enough footage, the filming period was set to last one to two months.

According to the script provided by the production team, she and James would appear in the apartment one after the other.

As expected, the apartment was fully equipped with surveillance cameras covering every angle without blind spots.

As Sophie stepped into the garden, she was momentarily taken aback. The garden was filled with various flowers and trees, and a charming parrot hung in its cage on the veranda.

The scent of fresh greenery hit her as she entered. This type of garden home was what Sophie had always adored.

Soon, Sophie snapped out of her daze, her attention caught by the conspicuously placed cameras.

The interior of the house was warmly decorated, showing that the show's director had done their homework. This reality show wasn't just about looking good—it was about exploring what divorced couples valued most at heart.

That was the feeling of home.

Before long, James also entered.

Sophie had already organized all her belongings, settling herself on the second floor. Since they were a divorced couple, their rooms were separate.

Without a word, James went to the room next door to sort out his things.

After a while, Sophie and James emerged from their rooms and glanced at each other, but neither spoke, perhaps due to the awkwardness of being in front of the cameras.

Finally, James broke the silence. “What do you want for lunch?”

“Can you cook?”

Sophie's retort left James speechless.

With a light tone, Sophie said, “I'll do it, you just… help me out.”

“Alright.”

James followed Sophie into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, he looked lost, unsure of where to start.

Sophie kind of regretted her decision. How could she have thought James would be of any help?

She didn’t expect James to lend a hand. In fact, it'd be a pleasant surprise if he didn't make matters worse.

Sophie waved her hand, suggesting, “Maybe find somewhere cool to sit for a bit.”
