Chapter 643 "Colby, we first met at an auction, right?" "Mhm.
"At that time, you deliberately bid againstto get my attention, didn't you?" "Yes." As Colby said this, there was a hint of laughter in his voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophie said, "Why are you so cunning? Who taught you to catch a girl's attention like that?" With a low chuckle, Colby said, "Because that was the only idea I could cup with at the time." “What if... I hadn't shown up that night, or what if I had shown up in a disheveled state?" Everything hinged on that auction. If, like in her past life, she had tried to imitate Nichole's dress and showed up looking disheveled, becoming the laughingstock of the evening, Colby wouldn't have noticed her or might even have found her ridiculous "It doesn't matter if you were dressed to the nines or in disarray. As long as you appeared before me, I would know I wanted you." *Liar...
Clearly, in her past life, she and Colby had not crossed paths. If it were as Colby said, then they should have met long ago in her past life, given his personality.
As Sophie fell silent, Colby suddenly cupped her face, his dark eyes brimming with affection and love as if it were overflowing. With a deep voice, he said, "Sophie, I will never lie to you." "I know, even if the whole world lies to me, you will never lie to me." Sophie smiled slightly, and the two embraced and kissed in the living room.
The kiss was long and difficult to part from, almost breathless. After a while, Colby finally reluctantly let go of Sophie, his voice a bit hoarse. "You're deliberately tempting me." Sophie's cheeks flushed, and she pushed Colby slightly, saying, Tm going to take a shower." Then, she walked around the coffee table and ran towards the bathroom.
Colby watched Sophie run away with a blush, a faint smile spreading across his face. However, the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared when his gaze fell on the scene on the TV, darkening his eyes.
The next morning, news of Cloude Enterprises' stock plummeting spread online.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophie hadn't expected Booker to be able to tank Cloude Enterprises' stock so quickly.
Colby cout of the room, placing a new smartphone in Sophie's hand. "Bought you a new one. This time, try not to lose it." 'Got it." Sophie held the phone in her hand and was about to contact Booker when Colby suddenly said, "Aren't you forgetting something important?" "Huh?" Before Sophie could react, Colby took out a ring from his pocket.
Sophie saw her lost ring in Colby's hands, and quickly reached out to take it.
But Colby quickly withdrew his hand, raising the ring higher. "So, you m remember the phone you lost, but not the ring? Seems like this ring is less important to you than your phone."
Sophie stomped her foot in annoyance. "I knew this ring was with your just put it onalready!"
Seeing Sophie's anxious demeanor, Colby didn't tease her further Hen took Sophie's slender hand and slid the ring back onto her index finger, his tone serious. “Don't lose it again.”
