Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 414

Sophia had one hand on Logan’s arm, while the other hand kept on sliding down his back in an effort to placate him. The distance between them was minimal, which, in John’s opinion, was a sight for sore eyes. Thus, he adjusted his position on the sofa before asking, “Logan, what did Lorraine say?”

A shudder traveled down Logan’s spine while he sat up in his seat as soon as his sister’s name was mentioned, which put some distance between him and Sophia, as his reaction prompted Sophia to sit up as well.

Logan wore a morose look on his face as he answered, “Lorraine told me not to show myself in front of her, or else she won’t guarantee that she won’t beat the crap out of me.”

There was a smile on John’s face when he heard what Logan said, while Logan was still feeling disgruntled about his own dilemma. “John, you have to help me out. Launch an investigation to find out the perpetrator, then tell me if the Baileys were involved. I’ll make sure that the two b*tches suffer if they are behind this!”

John was unfazed by Logan’s request. “Worry not, as Sophia was almost dragged into what happened today, so I will definitely look into this even without you asking.”

Meanwhile, Logan seemed to have missed out on the added layer of meaning in his words while nodding in agreement to what John said. “I knew I could count on you! You’re the one that makes me feel safe!”

With a twirl of his gaze, John looked toward Sophia before he remarked, “Is that so?”

On the other hand, Sophia didn’t even spare John a glance, ignoring his words. There must be some loose screws in him, as his attitude is getting a little scary. Not only is he unable to control what he says, but there’s also a quirkiness in his gaze. Why would he look at me so gently? He knows how gullible I am, so he must be doing this on purpose to seduce me. He must be plotting something behind all this! she thought.

After some more chatter, it was about time to end their gathering. After all, it would take some time before the investigation done by Zack would yield results. On the other hand, Ian requested to stay with Logan in his place, as he didn’t want to return to the Morgans. It happened that Logan needed a listening ear to vent his frustrations, so he was delighted by Ian’s proposal while the two left shoulder-to-shoulder.

John followed behind the two, but not before turning to tell Sophia to lock the doors and windows, at which Sophia responded while on full alert, “I will make sure to do that.” Just when he was about to leave, Sophia said, “John, I figured I should ask you after all.” There was an opening for her to do just that after Ian and Logan left.

Without moving from where he stood, John said, “Sure, ask away.”
