Next One Is a Babe

Sophia slumped against John’s shoulder, laughing uncontrollably. “Logan, don’t you think your old man is deliberately picking fault with you? I think the dream is secondary. Perhaps he just wanted to beat you up.”

Chuckling, Lola rubbed Logan’s arm. “What did you do to offend him recently?”

Logan had no idea what he did to offend his old man recently. I just chided him for a bit on the phone when he called me a few days ago. There’s nothing else. He truly couldn’t think of anything, but he didn’t think it’d be a grudge over the insignificant chiding. After all, it was several days ago.

After a while, he changed the subject. “Have you all seen the news? Ian and his assistant are really together now.”

Sophia peered at him out of the corner of her eye. “We’ve already discussed it at length, yet you’re only now giving us the scoop? Isn’t it a little too late?”

Logan snorted. “I’m not giving you the scoop. I just want to discuss this with you guys—say, is it possible that Ian and his assistant end up together? I think they seem well-matched.”

Great minds think alike! Sophia shot him a look. “What a coincidence! We think so, too.”

Subsequently, Logan chortled. “I’ve met that girl before. She has a nice voice, and she’s unhurried in everything she does. Furthermore, she’s really good at taking care of people. If Ian were to get together with her, he’ll definitely enjoy a great life.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia grew chagrined. “If that’s the case, then forget it. Why isn’t it the girl enjoying a great life if she gets together with Ian? Why is she obligated to take care of him?”

Lola nodded as well. “Yes, I’m of the same opinion. When two people get together, both parties have to make sacrifices. It can’t be one of them hoping to improve his life by relying on the other. If that’s the case, then they should just scrap it from the beginning itself.”

“No, no,” Logan denied. “I was merely thinking for Ian from a friend’s perspective. Perhaps Ian will be the one to sacrifice more after they’d gotten together. This is still uncertain.” After all, if he truly gets together with Cindy, he’ll have to sacrifice more compared to her considering his identity now.

…

Meanwhile, Cindy helped Ian pack up everything and waited for him to finish speaking to Yulia before leaving together. However, she wasn’t sure whether it was a problem with the photos or something else, but they were still talking after an eternity had passed.

Waiting while leaning against the makeup table at the side, she then took out her cell phone, only to be greeted by a message from her mother. Probably because Cindy was vexed when she called the previous time, Mrs. Selby didn’t call this time but sent her a text message. She’d seen the news on the internet, so she was now asking whether it was true. From the sound of it, she didn’t quite believe that Cindy could possibly be involved with Ian since she knew her daughter’s capabilities.

Upon heoring this, Sophio grew chogrined. “If thot’s the cose, then forget it. Why isn’t it the girl enjoying o greot life if she gets together with Ion? Why is she obligoted to toke core of him?”

Lolo nodded os well. “Yes, I’m of the some opinion. When two people get together, both porties hove to moke socrifices. It con’t be one of them hoping to improve his life by relying on the other. If thot’s the cose, then they should just scrop it from the beginning itself.”

“No, no,” Logon denied. “I wos merely thinking for Ion from o friend’s perspective. Perhops Ion will be the one to socrifice more ofter they’d gotten together. This is still uncertoin.” After oll, if he truly gets together with Cindy, he’ll hove to socrifice more compored to her considering his identity now.
