Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 642

On the television, James looked at Nichole with adoration, gently fixing her hair as they shared laughs and smiles, the very picture of a loving couple. The look in his eyes didn't seem feigned. Jenna commented from the side, "Weird, right? It's not their first time being seen together. I just rushed back from the dinner party they attended."

"It is a bit strange."

Sophie murmured, her gaze fixed on James in the TV, whose eyes brimmed with affection. Soon, Sophie's attention was drawn to the ring Nichole was wearing. It's the heirloom ring of the Burke family. Sophie quickly grabbed the remote from the table, hit the rewind button, and paused the image three seconds back.

In this scene, James was tucking a stray lock of Nichole's hair behind her ear. A broad smile graced Nichole's face as she slightly lifted her hand to adjust James' tie.

Sophie clearly saw the ring on Nichole's finger. Jenna asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nichole is wearing the Burke family's heirloom ring."

Sophie distinctly remembered that, in her past life, when she was pregnant, that ring had been placed in her bedroom.

At the time, she thought it was Bea's way of acknowledging her as a granddaughter-in-law, until she had that dream where Nichole walked into the morgue, removing the heirloom ring she wore. That triumphant and hideous face was etched in Sophie's memory!

'Sophie, don't blame me for being so heartless. Only with you gone can I take Mrs. Burke's place.'

'I didn't expect James would actually give you the family ring.'

'But it doesn't matter; from today on, I am its rightful owner.'

Sophie felt a headache coming on, her body involuntarily stepping backward, prompting Colby to. immediately step forward and support her, while Jenna was startled, "Sophie! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine... just a bit dizzy."

Sophie's complexion was pale, and Colby, with eyes full of undisguised concern, looked down at her.

Adler interrupted Jenna, "Look at you, going on and on. We should head home now! Come on, I'll take you."

Adler hurriedly pulled Jenna away, and she quickly waved at Sophie, saying, "Sophie, I'll leave with Adler now and come see you tomorrow!"

Adler dragged Jenna. "Let's go; no more talking!"

After the door closed behind them, Colby asked in a deep voice, "Are you too tired?"

"Maybe."

Sophie managed a weak smile. She couldn't pinpoint the reason. Perhaps the recent events were too much, coupled with sitting on a flight all night, and her body felt overwhelmed. "I'll prepare a hot bath for you to rest properly."

Sophie nodded.

Colby caressed Sophie's cheek before heading to the bathroom to run the water.

Sitting on the couch, Sophie's eyes fell on the ring displayed on the TV. She felt increasingly unsettled.

This scene closely mirrored her past

life's memories of James taking Nichole to grand dinners. It instilled fear in her, the fear of waking up to find everything reverted to how it once was.

Soon, Colby returned from the bathroom, embracing Sophie from behind He whispered, "Aren't you going to take a bath? I'll let you off easy tonight, but once you're feeling better, I might not be so lenient."
