Next One Is a Babe

After a brief pause, John said, “Sure. I’m sure it’s really mind-numbing to stay at home like this every day. Logan’s clubhouse has many interesting things to see, so it would be good for you two to go and take a look.”

Hearing his reply, Sophia nodded. “When you guys get off work later, just come over and pick us up there.”

John agreed. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence. This was, after all, one of the Constance Family’s house rules.

Halfway through the meal, Sophia looked up at Matilda. Matilda also happened to be looking at her, so they could see the frustration in each other’s eyes. They used to think that this was normal, but now they couldn’t help but want to talk.

After eating for a while, William turned around and looked at Matilda. “Is your injury better yet?”

Startled, Matilda nodded before replying, “It’s just a small wound after all. It got better after only a day.”

William withdrew his gaze and commented, “You used to be so anxious about even a tiny bump.”

Matilda couldn’t hold back her laughter. “I used to be really pretentious. I felt that the world was against me if I even so much as bumped into something. So, I wanted to tell you and hoped that you would feel sorry for me.”

Later, when she thought about it, she realized that it was pointless to tell him. The redness and swelling were gone in a few minutes. After worrying and busying over his work for the entire day, William had to come back home to sort out her trivial matters. He should be very annoyed by me back then.

William lowered his head and continued eating. Matilda didn’t notice it, but his expression was rather brooding.

After the meal, the father-son duo was about to leave for work when John looked at Sophia. “Let me send you guys there.”

This was a good idea, so Sophia and Matilda hurriedly changed their clothes, sat in John’s car, and went to Logan’s clubhouse.

On the way, Sophia called Logan to tell him they were going over, but to her surprise, Logan wasn’t at the clubhouse. There was even some whining going on over at Logan’s side.

Sophia frowned at this. “Logan, are you for real? I’ve told you that we’re going over today. If you’re not here, who are we supposed to play with?”

On the other side, Logan immediately said in a cheerful tone, “If you guys are there, I’ll go back immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

After saying that, he seemed to say to someone else, “I’ve something to do today. I’ll talk about it another day. Let me tell you that I’ll definitely come for you another day. You can’t hide from me.”

Sophia heard all of this clearly, and she was a little astonished. Logan’s tone was malicious, so the other person should be someone he didn’t like.

Sophia smacked her lips, thinking that it might be someone from the Morgan Family. However, on second thought, it didn’t sound like it. If Logan met someone from the Morgan Family, considering his temper, he would probably roll up his sleeves and pick a fight right there and then. How could he just make do with threats?
