Chapter 1083
At the side, John was also a tad exasperated at Logan’s demeanor. Although he was a man, meaningthat he probably wasn’t as sensitive or perceptive as a woman, he could still see the difference inLogan’s treatment of Lola. He thought, Perhaps he himself isn’t aware of these changes. After all, heisn’t all that great at hiding his emotions but wears his heart on his sleeves, so much so that peoplearound him could perceive the anomaly. It’s actually fine if he’s single, but the thing is, he now has agirlfriend! Thus, this is rather troublesome.
Lola sat upright, putting a bit of distance between her and Logan. Then, she scoffed, “You? I don’t wantto damage your pride.” Her voice had once again reverted to her usual jocular tone, brushing Logan off.
This time, however, Logan didn’t go ballistic. He merely stared at her. “Just tell me whether you darebet on it.”
Pursing her lips, Lola pondered for a moment before nodding. “Fine, I’ll bet on it.” She even asked himwhat the stakes were.
Without even thinking about it, Logan answered, “Anything you want.” novelbin
This daring attitude of his in staking anything for a bet was truly captivating, but it only causedJasmine’s expression to change once again as she sat beside him. She pressed her lips together, hergaze fixed on him. A few seconds later, she slowly retracted her gaze and shifted it to the flowers at theside.
Sophia was at a loss for words to ameliorate the atmosphere at this moment. It seems as thoughnothing I say will work, what with his ignorance!
Beside her, John gave a soft sigh. Then, he spoke of some plans he had for Ernest’s birthdaycelebration. At this, both Logan and Lola listened intently, the former even offering some suggestionswhile discussing the matter. For instance, he proposed how he’d make his way to Lola to protect heronce John was lured away besides how John’s men would show themselves and offer reinforcementsin the event of trouble.
While they were talking, Sophia didn’t join the conversation. Rather, she chatted about something elsewith Jasmine. She could tell that Jasmine was getting noticeably restless. Such circumstances areindeed unconducive to her, mainly because that fool, Logan Jefferson, is truly too single-minded! Hebrought her here, yet showed zero concern for her feelings. Strictly speaking, he’s neglecting his dutiesas a boyfriend!
However, she inwardly had some misgivings toward Jasmine as well. Such an attitude from him isbecoming commonplace, yet she has never once taken a stance on this matter so that he knows wherehe’s going wrong. Thus, another presumption took form in her mind. She must have ulterior motives ingetting together with him! After all, his wealth is there for all to see, so the average girl will cling to himregardless of love. For the sake of the wealth and opulence behind him, she won’t mind enduring theoutward grievance and humiliation!
Jasmine wasn’t even in the mood to talk to her, so she merely grunted thoughtfully from time to time asSophia chattered. Hence, it was only natural that the conversation couldn’t be sustained for long. In theend, they could only stop and listen as John, Lola, and Logan discussed their plan on that day.
After some time, Sophia shuffled to her feet with a hand on her stomach upon seeing that thediscussion was showing no signs of winding up. “I’m going to have a stroll around. Would you like tojoin me, Miss Xanthos?” Actually, this was merely the final way she could offer Jasmine to help her out
of this awkward situation.
However, Jasmine shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll just sit here for a while.”
