Chapter 352
Pursing her lips, Sophia pondered for a moment. “What do you think I should say? The public opinion isgoing rather strongly, so I’m afraid that they’ll turn their sights on me when I speak up.”
After some contemplation, Ian suggested, “Why don’t you ask Lorraine? She probably knows what tosay to make an airtight statement.”
Upon hearing this, Logan instantly nodded. “Wait a moment. I’ll give Lorraine a call and ask about it.”After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Lorraine before placing it on the table onspeakerphone.
Lorraine seemed to be rather swamped since they could hear someone else speaking in thebackground. Logan was extremely courteous while speaking to his sister, smiling as he asked, “Are youfree now, Lorraine? I’ve got a question for you.”
On the contrary, Lorraine was very impatient with him, snapping, “Hold it until I’m done with work.” Aftersaying that, she hung up right away.
A tad embarrassed, Logan chuckled dryly as he looked up at Ian and Sophia. “Lorraine is busy. She’salways busy, so it’s already a miracle that she answered my call.” Sophia and Ian shared a look, thenlowered their heads and ate. Subsequently, Logan put away his cell phone awkwardly.
No one spoke during the rest of the meal. When they were done eating, Logan promptly cleared thetable. Meanwhile, Sophia went over to the sofa and plopped down. Turning on the television, she thenchortled. “Let me tell you guys something. I came to blows with Matilda today.”
Logan who was placing the tableware into the dishwasher in the kitchen rushed out upon hearing this.
“Who did you come to blows with? Did you win or lose? And Matilda? Who’s Matilda?”
Sophia turned and stared at him. “John’s mother.”
It wasn’t only Logan, but Ian was also stunned now. Both of them walked over to the sofa. “Are youhurt, then?” Ian looked her up and down.
Sophia waved a dismissive hand. “I just lost a few strands of hair, but I’m otherwise fine. Matilda, on theother hand, got a slap and a few kicks from me.” novelbin
“You did quite a great job!” Logan exclaimed. He then came over and sat down on the sofa beforestarting mysteriously, “I heard quite a few things about John’s mother, and that woman is actually notone to be trifled with.”
Sophia arched an eyebrow. “What did you hear about his mother?”
After deliberating for a moment, Logan replied, “It’s said that like John, his father was initially engagedto someone else, but the girl’s family later went back on their word, and the girl got together withsomeone else. Thus, his father had a blind date with his mother, and they got together.” He thensmacked his lips. “It seems that when John was in his teenage years, the woman with whom his fatherwas initially engaged got divorced. I’ve never asked about the specific reason, but that womansuddenly realized John’s father’s goodness after so many years and came back to look for him. Sheknew full well that he has a family, yet she still came on to him.”
Ian came over as well and plopped down on the other side of Sophia. The gap between them wasnegligible, so much so that Sophia’s nosy profile was reflected in Ian’s eyes. Ian then subconsciouslyleaned close to Sophia, likewise appearing all intrigued. The two of them were very close; Sophia was
turned sideways, her back to Ian, so it appeared as though she was nestled in his embrace from acertain angle. Sophia, however, didn’t notice all that, her attention on Logan’s words.
Logan didn’t pay any attention to Ian either, continuing surreptitiously, “It isn’t certain whether John’sfather didn’t realize the woman’s intentions or he still had feelings for her, but he went out with her afew times. Soon, John’s mother found out about this and went to the woman’s parents’ house, cursingand smashing things.”
