Sophie's lips curled into a slight smile after seeing the confident looks on the three ladies' faces. This was getting interesting.
"What are you all talking about?" Colby asked as he walked in from outside. He was casually dressed in a white shirt with no tie and carried several elegant little bags.
The three ladies' eyes lit up at the sight of Colby. He wasn't just influential overseas; he was also incredibly handsome—rich, powerful, and charming. With a husband like that, who would want to leave home?
"We didn't expect to see you home during the day, Colby. If we had known, we would have brought an extra gift."
"Colby is so good to Sophie, always staying home with her. Unlike our husbands..."
Their faces turned slightly red. Even though they were older, they still had their allure. Sophie could see their interest in Colby.
Before Sophie could say anything, Colby spoke up. "My wife is new here and still getting used to the place. Feel free to chat, but please, don't take her out on any wild adventures. She's not used to it."
Colby's voice was gentle but carried a hint of warning. The ladies, seasoned in social subtleties, quickly picked up on his message and made excuses to leave.
Sophie leaned back on the sofa, sipping her latte. "All done?"
"All done," Colby replied as he placed a pink bag in front of her.
Inside were adorable French pastries. Sophie immediately brightened up, her eyes sparkling. "How did you know I wanted something sweet?"
"I figured they'd go well with your latte," Colby said, arranging the cakes in front of her. "If you don't want to see the people who come by, you don't have to. Don't worry about me."
