Female Novel
Chapter 473
Sophia racked her brains, but she still could not understand what happened last night, so she endedher call with the clueless Logan. Then, she had a simple breakfast and went out to water her flowers,which was when she instantly noticed the shattered phone in her garden.
She went over and picked it up, only to recognize that it was Ian’s phone; even the SIM card was still inthere. It was no wonder he was unreachable.
Things started piecing together in her mind. She clutched the shattered phone and thought about it forsome time before making a call to John at last. Unexpectedly, her first call was not picked up. Huh, he’sreally something.
Feeling persistent, she made another call to him, which was finally picked up. John intentionallylowered his volume as he said, “I’m busy right now. Talk to you later.”
She followed suit and lowered her volume as well. “Did you send me home last night?”
John went silent on the other side and she could vaguely hear someone else talking in the background.He must be in a meeting. Thus, she closed her eyes and said to him, “Alright. I’ll talk to you whenyou’re free.”
Then, she hung up on him and wandered over to sit on the sofa, where she started spacing out. Sincethe SIM card was still in the phone, she felt that she should return it to Ian.
Despite having waited for quite a while, Sophia did not receive any callback from John, so she gave itsome thought and took a cab to Logan’s place. Right now, Ian was not staying with the Morgans.Sometimes, he would stay over at Logan’s clubhouse.
When she arrived, Logan was still in bed. A waiter went in to wake him up, after which he walked outbarefooted in his pajamas. “What is it? Why are you here so early in the morning?” novelbin
She immediately asked him if he knew where Ian was. While she spoke, she took out the SIM card andtold him that Ian had dropped it at her door. Logan was astonished. “Ian dropped it at your door?Where’s the phone?”
She sighed at the thought of the poor phone. “The phone is shattered.”
Logan ruffled his hair, looking puzzled. “Was Ian that drunk last night? I’m unsure where he stayed thenight though. Last night, I headed back here right after the night at the bar. How about this? I’ll havesomeone go search for him later. He should be safe.”
Sophia was not at all worried about Ian’s safety, for he had been living elsewhere on his own for yearswithout an issue. Now that he was back to his hometown, which should be his own territory, nothingmuch would happen to him.
Based on Logan’s expression, he must have had no idea about last night's events, so she decided togive up on asking him. Not wasting her time at the clubhouse, she left Ian’s SIM card with Logan andheaded to the store, where she saw Robin busy at work.
She went up to Robin. “What time did you all leave last night?”
As Robin did not have much to drink last night, her memory was sharp. “Around ten? Then, we noticedthat you went missing, so we went out to search for you. We didn’t have much fun after that.”
Sophia still could not recall what happened after she had gone to the washroom. Then, Robin added,“The waiter told us that John brought you away. Ian instantly rushed out after hearing that. Man, heshocked me! If we didn’t know, we would have thought that something bad had happened.”
Sophia chuckled weakly. “I guess he was scared that John would beat me up when I wasunconscious.”
After all, Ian was a witness to the fight that almost happened between John and her. She spent sometime working with Robin. Soon, she received a call from John, informing her that he was at her placenow. She was taken aback by his sudden move. “Why did you head over? Just call me back. What’sthe point of going to my place?”
John laughed and ignored her questions. “Where are you now? Just come home. I’m in front of thegate.”
Sophia checked the time and it happened to be lunch break.
To be honest, she didn’t feel like meeting with John because she thought that they had cleared thingsup at their last meeting. On top of that, she had vivid memories of her clash with him, which would irkher for some time whenever she recalled that.
However, John did send her home last night, which made her feel a little indebted. Thus, she gave itsome consideration and agreed with him. Hanging up, she then notified Robin and went out to hail acab home.
