Next One Is a Babe

However, Logan’s behavior did fill Lola with a sense of security. She nodded before saying with a smile, “I found it quite funny that Logan swore like a trooper when Jasmine called him at first. My views were similar to John’s—I didn’t think she called Logan to sabotage our relationship, so I didn’t bother much about it. Logan didn’t think so, though. He thought they shouldn’t be in touch anymore. I can’t remember it that well, but Jasmine seemed to have called Logan three times. After that, he blocked her on his cell phone right away.”

Sophia laughed beside them as she commented, “You have such a strong awareness, Logan. Come on—you’d better come clean about who you were talking to on the phone just now.”

Logan replied, “Geez, who else could it be? It was Ian. Isn’t he doing fine now? His mother has learned about it. Right now, she has gone to him and asked him to help fix her up with some jobs, saying that she wants to make a comeback.”

John was the first to speak after him. “Ian’s mother went to him? She must have remembered this son of hers after seeing his success.”

Logan felt the same way. “Ian lived a life of pure misery in the Morgan Family for so many years, yet his mother never once gave him a phone call. Instead, she’s gone to him now that he finally has his day. I can’t speak too much in front of Ian, but I really don’t like his mother. I think Ian deserves a better mother.”

Sophia didn’t say a word since she couldn’t comment on such matters. Besides, whenever she spoke up for Ian, John would make a fuss about it.

Lola looked at Logan. “Well, is he going to help her?”

Logan nodded. “Yeah, but he doesn’t have any connections, so he wants to see if Lorraine can recommend his mother for some odd jobs so that the latter can show her face. It’s not difficult to do this kind of thing. Besides, I’m afraid his mother will go on and on about it if I refuse to help.”

Sophia shook her head. Every family has its own problems, after all, she thought to herself.

Logan then recalled something else. “I ran into Bryce outside a few days ago, though I wonder what that old guy was doing out there with Sean supporting him by the arm. He saw me as well, but we didn’t speak to each other,” he said before pausing for a moment. Then, he continued, “Do you guys know how much restraint I exercised to stop myself from spitting at him?”

Sophia recalled how Logan had made a scene in front of Bryce for Ian’s sake during their previous visit to the Morgan Residence. In other words, Bryce was somewhat afraid of Logan too. Even if Logan really spat at him during this encounter, he would probably have no choice but to bear it. Otherwise, he would get a good scolding.

However, Logan then added, “He’s aged so fast, though. I didn’t think a long time had passed since I last saw him, but when I met him this time, I felt that he was completely different from before. He could still walk with the aid of a stick in the past, but he can’t walk without Sean supporting him right now.”

Sophia immediately responded, “Old Mr. Morgan isn’t young anymore. Moreover, this old man has never done anything proper in his youth. Perhaps that has taken a toll on his health, which is why he’s begun to suffer. It serves him right, though—it’s his fault for behaving as if he’d never seen a woman when he was younger.”

Lola couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Sophia’s words.

John’s lips curved as well. “You aren’t afraid to speak your mind, huh.”
