Female Novel
Chapter 1045
In order to be polite, Logan had no choice but to hum along to show that he understood what Old Mrs.Constance said.
On the other hand, Sophia chuckled after she listened to them talking before she went to unpack thefood that Logan bought her.
Immediately, her mouth started watering as Logan passed her a paper napkin. “No one’s fighting withyou for food, alright? Look at yourself. The look on your face is blinding me.”
Old Mrs. Constance stopped talking and turned to look at Sophia before she chuckled. “You should eatsome as you haven’t been eating these ever since you got pregnant. It’s good to eat nice things whenyou’re pregnant.”
Since Old Mrs. Constance didn’t stop her, Sophia started her eating feast.
Logan was still around when John got home during the noon, as Old Mrs. Constance was still grabbingLogan’s hand and teaching him the right way to treat a girl. Meanwhile, Sophia sat a few distancesaway and munched on her scrumptious lunch.novelbin
After John came back, he immediately went over to Sophia and lowered his head before snatching herfood away. “Better not eat too much now. Your stomach might hurt later.”
Sophia was already almost full, and she also knew that John was just doing it for her own good, so shetook a paper napkin and started wiping her hands. “Alright. I get it. I get it.”
John turned around and sat in front of Logan after cleaning up. “Why are you so free today? I thought
that you’d be over at Miss Hunt’s.”
Upon hearing John mention the ex-officer, Logan pondered for a moment before retorting, “Why didn’tyou think that I would be over at my girlfriend’s?”
However, John laughed and shook his head. “I’m not sure about you and your girlfriend, but I think youdon’t look like you’re in love from your eyes, so I won’t bother asking you about it.”
Suddenly, Sophia came to a realization about why she felt like Logan was kidding every time hementioned his supposed girlfriend.
It was because there was something wrong with those eyes of his.
When one liked a person, it would be reflected in their eyes even if they didn’t say a thing.
However, no matter how much Logan talked about his girlfriend, his eyes remained the same.
Still, Logan disagreed with what John said and started laughing. “Do you think that everyone is asclingy as you and Sophia? We are all adults now, and we prefer keeping things to ourselves, so I don’tthink it’s necessary to express what I feel toward her everywhere I go.”
John nodded and stopped saying anything anymore.
Indeed, everyone had their own way of expressing their love.
It was possible that Logan just wouldn’t have that look on his face no matter who he was with.
After John and Logan got seated, they started discussing the shadow bank again while Sophia went tothe kitchen to pour herself some water since she wasn’t interested in that topic at all.
However, Old Mrs. Constance was someone who could listen to everything, so she sat by the sidequietly and listened as John and Logan analyzed the situation.
After a while, she spoke up when John and Logan stopped talking. “So, according to what you guyssaid, the shadow bank is confirmed to be related to the Baileys, am I right?”
John nodded. “Yes. The Baileys are probably the shadow bank's main mastermind. Or, to the moreconcise, Elder Mr. Bailey had been using the shadow bank to do illegal transactions privately.”
It seemed like Old Mrs. Constance suddenly thought of something before she replied, “Oh. Yourgrandpa did mention when he was young that Elder Mr. Bailey was a crafty man, and he mightprobably go astray sooner or later.”
John didn’t know much about Elder Mr. Bailey, and he only knew that he liked to act all high andmighty.
Previously, when his engagement with Isabelle wasn’t called off yet, Elder Mr. Bailey would always puton an elder’s facade and looked like he wanted to lecture him.
After John called the engagement off, Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t say anything, although his facialexpression was indeed dark.
