Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

“Because I am her husband.”

James‘ gazes were dark and laced with a dangerously intense air

At the mention of the word “husband Harold stiffened completely.

James dropped his umbrella, took Sophie from Harold’s arms, while Coll rained an umbrella, following closely behind Jamės,

Only Harold remained frozen in place. Sophie was James‘ wife?

At the hospital, Sophie slowly woke up, the weather outside still dreary and rainy.

She vaguely remembered being comered by Harold at the entrance of Liberty Hall, but what had happened after that?

Struggling, Sophie sat up and turned to see James asleep, resting his head on his hand.

“Ms. Sophie, you’re awake?” Colt entered, carrying a briefcase.

James opened his eyes and saw Sophie awake on the hospital bed.

Noticing the fatigue on James‘ face, Sophie asked, “Did you bring me to the hospital?”

James did not respond.

Colt handed him the laptop from his briefcase and said, “Ms. Sophie, Mr. Burke went to your school this morning to find you. You had fainted, and Mr. Burke skipped his meetings to stay with you at the hospital.”

“This doesn’t concem you anymore. You can leave.” James‘ tone was flat.

Sophie could tell James was upset. She retorted, “Why did you come to the school?”

“You are my wife, but I couldn’t contact you. Where should I go to find you if not at the school?”

Sophie then remembered that she had hung up on James the day before. She said, “I wasn’t feeling well last night, so…”

“So you hung up on me?”

Sophie didn’t argue. That was indeed her fault.

“Give me your address. I’ll have someone move your things back.”

Sophie frowned, “James, we agreed not to interfere with each other.”

“Can you take care of yourself living alone?”

“I can.”

“Is this taking good care of yourself?”

Sophie was at a loss for words, “I just tend to catch colds when the seasons change, and this time it was just worse.”

“James!”

“Sophie!” James said coldly, “You’ve leamed to talk back now?”

*James, attending Eastwood College was my decision. Ours is a marriage of convenience, strictly speaking, a contractual marriage. I will act as a proper Mrs. Burke in public, but you can’t interfere with me, or harm my interests.”

“A contractual marriage?”

James narrowed his eyes dangerously. So this is how she viewed their marriage.

“Isn’t it?”

From the beginning, she and James were nothing more than a couple in name only.

James took a deep breath, “Fine, you can live outside, but only during your busy academic periods. Normally, I’ll have Lee pick you up and bring you home. It’s unsuitable for my wife to live outside. If you don’t want grandmother to find out, I suggest you do as I say”

Sophie wanted to say more, but James cut her off with a cold command, “This is my final offer.”
