Next One Is a Babe

Logan froze up. He was brash, but he wasn’t stupid. If he did anything to Matilda, his dad would kill him.

After he shut up, Sophia said, “Let him go. I don’t want any trouble.”

Logan gasped. “But I’m doing this for you. Man, you’re ungrateful. Everyone knows my temper. If anyone tries to hurt my friend, they can get out of the city.”

Sophia didn’t deny that, for him protecting Ian was evidence enough. He even went to Morgan Residence to help Ian. Chuckling, Sophia said, “Logan, I would have walloped him back then if I wanted to. Are cards all you can think of? At least look before you leap.”

Logan snorted. Before he could say anything, Husky bellowed, “Please, Sophia! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again! Save me! I can’t take it anymore!”

Sophia frowned. “Aren’t you annoyed? Let him go. My eardrums are popping.”

Logan clicked his tongue, obviously objecting to her decision. Even so, he said nothing and hung up. Sophia put her phone down and chuckled. Logan can be adorable sometimes.

After Sophia washed her face again and was about to sleep, Ian texted her, telling her to lock the doors and windows. Subsequently, Sophia told him she had done that.

She always locked them before she slept, only keeping them open during daytime for air circulation. It never crossed her mind that someone would break in though.

She slept through the night soundly and forgot everything Matilda did to her the next day. Contrary to the Constances, she never planned on sabotaging them with this. ‘Don’t cross that bridge till you come to it’ was her motto. Thinking too much about something that hadn’t happened yet would bog her down.

She woke up early the next morning and skimmed through her driving lesson text. Then she watered her flowers and went to take a look at her shop. The renovators worked fast, for everything was done when she arrived.

It wasn’t a big place to begin with, so Sophia only needed to improve the airflow, and it would be ready for business. She couldn’t wait.

Logan came again in the afternoon, and Sophia saw him in her yard when she came back. He looked annoyed when she returned. “What are you thinking? How can you leave your windows open? What if someone breaks in again?”

Sophia rolled her eyes. “I don’t think Matilda’s going to pull the same trick, so relax.”
