NovelEndChapter 1528 Sophie had only just found out that Colby had this uncanny knack for reading people, almost like he had a sixth sense for understanding emotions. He could always figure out what she was thinking, as if he was inside her head. They'd been apart for over a month, and Sophie realized she was only starting to get a glimpse of who Colby truly was.

"Oh, I definitely find you lacking," Sophie teased, making Colby's eyes darken with a hint of hurt.
"But seriously," Sophie continued, "I find you a bit dense for not tellingsomething so important sooner! Love isn't just sbiological response. I just need to know you care about me, that I'm in your heart, that you'll whisper sweet nothings to me, and have my back no matter what. That you'll never betray me, never fall for someone else. That's all I need. Love is a feeling, and it's also the actions you take because of that feeling. I see it all, and to me, you're not semotionally detached robot. You're my husband." Hearing Sophie's words brought a spark back to Colby's eyes. But before they could savor the moment, Sophie abruptly stepped back.
"Colby! Are you ssort of clingy shadow?" she snapped. "I told you to keep your distance! I don't want to see you, and if you don't leave right now, I'll call the cops!" Watching her tic flair, Colby couldn't help but crack a small smile, even though his voice was tinged with a bit of mock suffering, "I can't be without you. Please, don't be mad, okay?" Taking advantage of the moment, Colby pulled Sophie into a tight hug. It was forceful, but neither really wanted to let go.

"Sophie, I love you," Colby declared, in a move straight out of a soap opera, cradling her face and kissing her with a boldness that surprised them both.
Sophie, trying to keep a straight face at Colby's over-the-top performance, couldn't help but laugh inside. She bit his lip, not too hard but enough to leave a mark.
"Get out! Colby, don't makehate you." Her eyes were filled with feigned disgust. Colby felt a little put out, thinking harsh words would be enough. Why did the act have to be so convincing?
Nevertheless, Colby slunk out of the Minton family's villa, feeling a bit like a kicked puppy. At the gate, he glanced back at the house, his eyes full of longing and hurt.
Sophie had already turned back into the quiet house. With Odie away from Summerfield, the Minton place felt ΕΠ especially deserted.
Remembering the lifeline Odie had given her before she cto Summerfield, Sophie curiously m rummaged through its contents. It turned out to be a USB drive, and the sheer size of its storage left her stunned. Could this USB drive possibly hold... something important?
