Female Novel
Chapter 1618
Logan noticed Ian spacing out, so he tapped the latter’s shoulder. “Hey, what are you spacing out for?Did you hear me? Are you going?”
Ian snapped out of it. “Sorry? What were you talking about?”
Logan stared at him for a few moments. “What happened? Why’d you space out?”
Ian sighed. “Trying to figure out how to settle the mess online.”
Logan didn’t know if he was lying, but he nodded. “So as I was saying, Sophia called this morning andasked us to have dinner over at her place. She wants to treat us. You didn’t come back for her kid’s full-month banquet, and that’s one little regret she has. Now that you and your mom are here, she wants tohave a little gathering.”
Ian answered calmly, “We had one last night, didn’t we?”
Logan clicked his tongue. “It’s different. I was the host last night. Now she wants to treat you, so ofcourse she wants you at her place.” Then, he lowered his voice and added, “But I can tell her you don’twant to go. Or we can just reserve a table at a hotel if you don’t want to go to her place.” After all, Ianwould have to see Sophia’s kid and a show of public affection by the Constance couple if he went toher house. That was understandably annoying for Ian.
Ian glanced at his mother. She was still chatting with Cindy, but she still looked slightly displeased.Thus, Ian answered nonchalantly, “It’s fine. I can go. I want to see her kid too.”
Logan nodded. “As long as you’re fine with it.”
Ian’s lips curled into a smile. “Of course I am. It’s all in the past now. Everyone moved on, and so haveI.”
Logan lamented, “Yeah, you have Cindy now. You’ve moved on in your career and relationship.”
Ian looked at him, but he said nothing.
Logan smiled. Oh, he’s reacting differently. Before this, he would retort if Logan teased him aboutCindy, but now he was tacitly admitting to it. That was how things worked. Ian started out refusing it,then accepting it silently before accepting it publicly, and finally, he would indulge in it.
Ian pursed his lips and looked at Logan. “You’re thinking about something rude, aren’t you?”
Logan smiled and waved him down. “Nope. Just remembered something funny.”
Lola was sleeping in another room. She was living fine lately, and she could sleep right away. And so,Logan was alone with Ian, chatting away about their lives. Logan didn’t have anyone to share his lifewith recently, so he kept gushing about his excitement about being a father to Ian. Now that he finallyhad someone to talk to, he was unable to stop himself. novelbin
Ian listened to him, but most of the time, he glanced at his mother. Just like Logan, Aurora wouldn’tstop talking with Cindy, and she even paced back and forth halfway through, leaving Ian’s sight. Abouttwenty minutes later, she hung up, put her phone in her bag, and came back into the room. Ian quicklylooked away, pretending he saw nothing.
When Aurora came back to her seat, she looked calm, which was a stark contrast to how she was a
moment ago.
Logan was still talking about Lola’s pregnancy and how he couldn’t sleep because he had to take careof her. Sure, he was complaining, but he looked happy about it. He even said he could feel the babymoving if he put his head against Lola’s belly. Lola was four months pregnant, so of course he couldfeel the baby moving around.
Logan was gushing with delight, while Aurora looked more crestfallen by the minute.
