William had lost all night and was down to his very last dime. The living room was occasionally filled with William and Adler's bickering noise.
Inside the house, Sophie turned on the TV, only to find that the late-night shows were all buzzing with rumors of her and James' marital troubles. A blurred photo of Colby was magnified and tagged with the label "Modern-Day Casanova."
It was supposed to be a serious matter, but when Sophie saw the words "Modern-Day Casanova," she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Colby raised an eyebrow and asked, "You find this funny?"
"Isn't it? The Modern-Day Casanova." Sophie laughed so hard she clutched her stomach. "The usually decisive Colby, standing shoulder to shoulder with James as the top boss of Devonport, has his day being dubbed a boy toy."
Colby tapped Sophie's forehead lightly, chiding, "You heartless little thing." His tone was filled with indulgence.
"Are you calling me heartless? I haven't even asked who let you come to the island. You put lobsters and crabs on me and James' fishing net, right?"
She found it odd at the time but chalked it up to being part of the show's setup, never suspecting Colby.
Now, it was clear that Colby had been anxious about her spending time alone with James, which is why he hurried over.
Colby chuckled, "I was worried you wouldn't eat well."
"It wasn't because you didn't want me doing tasks with James?"
"You know the answer."
Colby was clearly upset, but in the next second, he pulled out a new smartphone from his pocket. Sophie held the phone in her hand and asked, "Did you come all this way just to bring me a phone?"
