Next One Is a Babe

Logan was immediately piqued. “Do you know who did this? If you find it difficult to deal with them, I can help you to take care of them. I don’t mind the trouble. I’m not in the entertainment industry and already have a bad reputation to begin with anyway, so I’m not afraid of anything.”

Somehow, his words made Ian feel better. “You don’t have to do anything. Just spend your time with your wife. My agency should be able to take care of such a menial mess.”

“If they can take care of it, why is the mess still there even after a few days have passed?” Logan asked, sounding a little disgruntled. “Is your agency even capable of handling such matters? It seems like they’re quite slow to react to a situation.”

Stumped, Ian had to agree that his agency was slow in their crisis management. Or maybe it was because they hadn’t found a particularly convincing reason to explain this situation.

There were so many discussions ongoing on the internet that if no conclusive evidence was presented from the beginning, it was very likely that people wouldn’t believe any other thing that was said after that. As Ian didn’t want to continue discussing this matter, he shifted the topic. “How’s Lola doing?”

At the mention of Lola, Logan became so delighted that Ian could hear the change in his tone of voice. “Her belly is beginning to grow bigger, and it’s not so convenient for her to move around, but her negative reactions toward pregnancy are gone. She’s eating and drinking well. Also, she’s much more cheerful, laughing every day. You have no idea how much better my days are when she’s in high spirits,” he said and chuckled loudly.

Pursing his lips, Ian wanted to laugh along with him, but he was simply not in the mood to laugh. So, he simply said, “Sounds good to me.”

After that, Logan went on to say that John kept skipping work despite Sophia lecturing him about it a few times. In the end, she moved into a separate bedroom from him out of frustration.

While Ian kept his silence, Logan chuckled again and added, “Do you know that John even calls me to complain from time to time? He used to be such a proper person before this. But now, he’ll call me every time Sophia is annoyed with him, asking me to help him put in a good word for him with Sophia. Just the thought of it makes me laugh. Who knew he’d have such a day coming for him?”

Seated on the bed, Ian lifted his head and looked outside the window. Sophia… I’m glad she got together with John.

Then, he recalled the scene that day when he went to visit her at the hospital. At that time, she was already fast asleep, and John was guarding against him so that nobody would wake her up. Although he thought that John was being rather childish then, looking in retrospect now, he found his actions adorable.

This was the first time Ian sincerely felt that he could give them his blessings now.

“Didn’t you say that you’re coming back last time?” Logan asked after his laughter died down. “When are you coming back? Come back together with Cindy!”

Pursing his lips into a thin line, Ian thought, Go back together with Cindy? It’s already over between us. But he couldn’t bring himself to tell him the truth. “She’s quite busy, so I don’t know whether she’ll be free. Let’s wait and see when the time comes.”

Meanwhile in the hotel, Cindy took out her cell phone and checked it. Sure enough, there was a text from Ian, but he didn’t mention anything special. All he said was, there was a misunderstanding between them and he wanted to talk about it.
