Female Novel
Chapter 424
Sophia let out a chuckle before remarking, “I was searching for Isabelle a while ago. She’s also adisciplined young lady, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere too, so perhaps...” Despite not finishingher sentence, her smile seemed to indicate that John and Isabelle might’ve snuck away together.
However, the mention of John reminded Sophia of what he did to her last night, as well as of herdream, which made her sulk. “It’s better if they’re not around. I don’t want to see them anyway.”
Meanwhile, Logan was still mumbling to himself in a low voice about the Morgan siblings. Afterall, hewas a petty person, so he wouldn’t feel satisfied until he had gotten rid of them. Sophia merely gruntedin agreement. After a while, he was still pushing on the swing from behind, but Logan had ceased hischatter altogether.
“Logan? Why are you so quiet?” asked Sophia.
He merely grunted in response. “I should stop talking about those two, as it only makes me feel worse.”There was some truth to his words, as he had better things to do than talk about the Morgan siblings.
After heaving a sigh, Sophia said, “To be honest, I would prefer to spend my birthdays alone with myclosest friends and family rather than throwing a party. This is just too much of a bother.”
Her comment was met with a smile from Logan, who said nothing else after giving her a grunt.Meanwhile, Sophia leaned on one of the slings of the swing while observing the passersby in silence,as she wasn’t in the mood to speak. Besides, it was no place for a private conversation as waiters wereconstantly passing by. novelbin
Guests were still piling in from the entrance, so the venue was getting livelier with the passage of time.
While Sophia used to like such occasions back when she still lived in her village, she no longer likedthem after marrying into the Constance Family, as such occasions felt different compared to those heldback in her village.
The celebrations in her village were a glorious occasion indeed for the villagers, but the celebrationsheld by the rich seemed to be more about showing off their wealth and status. Sophia wanted to get offthe swing after a while, but before she could, she heard Isabelle’s voice when she approached Sophiafrom the reception hall with a smile. “John, Miss Gwendolyn, here you are.”
What Isabelle said startled Sophia, who only thought to turn around to check on who was behind herafter a few seconds. Logan was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was being replaced by John, whohad one hand in his pocket while holding onto the sling with the other. The sight of him brought a frownto Sophia’s face. “John?”
Isabelle had greeted them with a loud voice, which caused the people around them to turn to check onthem. Meanwhile, Sophia got off the swing with her sights set on John. “Where’s Logan?” He was herejust moments ago. Where’d he gone?
With a calm demeanor, John replied, “He went to the washroom, so he asked for us to wait here.”
Sophia didn’t realize when Logan had left, as she didn’t hear any sound or movements. In themeantime, John seemed to have noticed her confusion, as he said with a smile on his face, “I told himto leave without disturbing you.”
There was a sullen expression on Sophia’s face while she glanced at John’s face, as she seemed tohave recalled what happened the night before. Her expression reminded John of what transpiredbetween them as well, to which he responded with a silent laugh before tapping on his own lips when
he walked up to Sophia.
That shameless b*stard! Sophia was fuming at the fact that he even dared mention the incident, butshe averted her gaze moments later. In the meantime, Isabelle walked up to her with a sincere smile onher face, as if having totally forgotten about her conflict with Sophia in the boutique, as well as her grimconversation with John over the phone. “I saw you both as soon as I came out from the reception hall.This is such a coincidence.”
