Female Novel
Chapter 360
If a person has feelings for someone, he’ll be sad when he loses her. However, when John was askedto call off his wedding with Isabelle, he wasn’t at all heartbroken. Later, he even put in much effort inpreparing for his wedding with Sophia. At that time, I was quite distressed on his behalf, feeling thathe’d sacrificed too much, but he wasn’t at all bothered, merely saying that his grandfather’s happinesstook precedence. Old Mrs. Constance commented, “When a person has feelings for someone, he’ll feelaggrieved when he has to break up with her. However, John wasn’t at all affected back then.”
Sighing, she then continued, “He isn’t a person who plays his cards close to his vest, so if he truly hasfeelings for Isabelle, he would’ve long since shown it and told us outright. But he didn’t. He has neversaid anything, so it means that he doesn’t like her.”
As Sophia listened to her, a faint smile played on her face. Actually, all this has nothing to do with meanymore. I no longer care whether he likes Isabelle. Back then, I had wanted to keep them apart out ofresentment, but now, not only are the circumstances an issue, but my mentality itself has also changedentirely. After all, he’ll belong to someone else sooner or later. The question of who that person isactually hasn’t much to do with me. Hence, why should I waste my time and poke my nose into it? I’dbe better served spending that time on myself.
Later, when Logan arrived at Sophia’s house, he saw the car parked before her gate from afar. Heinitially thought that it was John, but he then saw that it was the matriarch of the Constance Familyupon reaching the courtyard. He was acquainted with her, so he swaggered in. “You’re here, Old Mrs.Constance?”
Startled, Old Mrs. Constance turned and stared at him for a long while before she finally gathered herwits about her. “Why are you here, Logan?” novelbin
Grinning, Logan walked over and sat down. “I’m friends with Sophia, and I came to visit her.”
Only now did Old Mrs. Constance suddenly recall William saying that he bumped into Sophia withLogan when he ate out with the Baileys. At that time, she even told John to persuade Sophia to keepher distance from Logan. She detested his abhorrent character since his clubhouse was involved in allsorts of illicit activities. That place had been raided several times, yet he never changed. Such astubborn person would easily stray from the right path, so those who associated themselves with himwould be easily led astray. She glanced at him, her face neutral with a smile. “You two are acquainted?Fate truly works in mysterious ways.”
After seconding that, Logan asked, “Is John doing okay? I noticed that the public opinion on theInternet had shifted slightly after Sophia issued her statement.”
Old Mrs. Constance murmured in affirmation. “He’s okay. This matter will fade in time, so it’ll be fineafter letting things cool for a while.”
At this, Logan nodded. “You’re right.”
Sophia had her eyes lowered, saying nary a word. Actually, she didn’t know what to say. Logan was thekind of person who’d keep the conversation going, so he spent a long time chatting with Old Mrs.Constance indiscriminately. In the end, it was Old Mrs. Constance who called a halt. She glancedbetween Sophia and Logan before getting to her feet in the end. “I’ll leave you two to your devices.Please excuse me.” She decided not to stay and put Sophia in a difficult position since it was apparentthat she hadn’t much to say to her considering her intense silence.
All at once, Sophia sprang up with the velvet box in hand. “Grandma, please take this back. It’s truly aheavy burden for me to keep it.”
Old Mrs. Constance turned and glanced at the box before finally taking it from her. “Alright, then. I hopeI’ll have the opportunity to again give this to you in the future.”
