Next One Is a Babe

---

Logan chuckled, not giving a fig where he was and who was around him, and opened his mouth. "I just love how you look down on me."

The expressions of William and Mrs. Constance, as well as the Baileys, all collectively fell.

John, on the other hand, looked like he wasn't bothered by it.

He spoke up, "Everyone has almost finished their meals, right? How about we call it a day?"

They hadn't eaten their fill, but everyone had lost their appetite.

The meal was over when Sophia and Logan came over and stirred things up.

Mrs. Bailey stood up. "Then let's end it here. Everyone has already eaten anyway."

Unfortunately, Logan didn't get the hint. "Oh, so you all have finished eating here. In that case, John, Sophia, let's head over to my room and continue eating. Sophia, you really are a sinner. Not only did you kill my wallet, you also killed that table's worth of sea creatures. How will you make it up to them if you're unable to finish all the food?"

Sophia gave him a glare. "Be quiet."

"What's wrong?" Logan exclaimed. "Did I say something wrong?"

Old Mr. Bailey also stood up. He probably couldn't bear to continue listening to Logan. "Let's go. It's getting late."

Old Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were the first to reach the door. They pulled Isabelle with them and, after some perfunctory farewells to William and Mrs. Constance, left straight away.

When Isabelle was leaving, she stared at John's back a little unwillingly.

John never looked back. He never looked at her.

She gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke.

This afternoon at the Constance Residence, the two of them had a very good chat and got along very well.

But after tonight, she felt like they were back at the starting point.

William stood there, and Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia.

She really had underestimated her.

How did she know someone like Logan Jefferson?

Logan was like a bomb. He could hurt someone, but he could also protect them.

Now looking at how well Logan and Sophia were getting along, it seemed that he was treating Sophia pretty well.

So this woman has found another backer. Mrs. Constance clenched her teeth in frustration. This was basically a checkmate for Sophia. How did she manage to find a turn-around?

John waited for the Baileys to leave, then he wrapped an arm around Sophia's shoulder before saying to his parents, "Sophia and I will go to Logan's place to sit for a while. Mom, Dad, you two head home first. Dad, you drank a bit too much alcohol today. You should go home and have an early rest."

Mrs. Constance's expression was still ugly. "It's already late. You two should go back soon as well."

"Got it," John said.

William sighed and led Mrs. Constance away first.

When the two of them were still in the corridor, Sophia vaguely heard William say, "You just had to do it. You shouldn't have done that in this kind of situation."
