Female Novel
Chapter 486
The next moment, John stared Matilda down, but his mother showed no sign of giving in, stubbornlyplacing her hand over his phone. A few seconds later, John turned around and left the room beforeMatilda proceeded to close the door and sneer, “Hmph! That brat still has much to learn if he reallywants to mess with me.”
Soon, Isabelle said in a hushed tone, “Mrs. Constance, I doubt John is happy about this. Do you thinkwe’ve crossed the line somehow?”
“What’re you talking about?” Matilda replied in confusion. “Everything that I’ve ever done has alwaysbeen for his own good. It’ll be fine, so don’t take it to heart. We’ll just enjoy our food here while waitingfor him to return.”
A few moments after John left, his phone that was left on the table began to vibrate, which turned out tobe an incoming call. Matilda directly declined the call, but John’s phone rang again a few seconds later.Therefore, she took a closer look, only to realize that the call was from Logan. Nothing can beimportant from Logan! Once again, she hung up the call, thinking how she never really approved ofJohn’s association with Logan in the first place because she reckoned that Logan was a bad influenceon her son.
Meanwhile, Logan was staring at his phone unhappily. “What’s wrong with John? Why won’t he pick upmy call?”
At the same time, Sophia was watching television when she noticed Logan’s frustration. “Why are youcalling John? If you’re bored, do something else that’s worth your time, but let me make this clear toyou! Don’t you dare call John over, or I swear I’ll make you regret it.” novelbin
Logan then turned his attention to Sophia and replied, “Come on! I just want to ask him somethingabout the Morgan Family because I believe he must have discovered some useful information aboutLeah’s dirty work. Now that I’ve taken care of those two imbeciles, that b*tch is my next target!”
Switching to a new channel, Sophia said, “Do what you want and leave. I’m getting sleepy, so I’m goingto bed soon.”
Unwilling to give up, Logan decided to call again. This time, someone picked up the call, but the voicehe heard was Matilda’s instead of John’s. “Why do you keep calling, Logan?”
After a brief pause, Logan asked, “Where is John?”
Before Matilda could say anything further, Isabelle’s voice was heard on the other end, saying, “Pleasetry this, Mrs. Constance. This one tastes really good! This is for John. I think he is going to like it!”
Logan was seen with his mouth agape before he hissed. “Is Isabelle with you now?” As soon as Sophiaheard that, she blinked and squinted without saying a single word.
Logan’s question apparently caught Matilda by surprise, so she only brushed him off with an affirmativehum. “Is there something important that you’re calling John for?” Well, there is indeed somethingimportant, but Mrs. Constance must never know about it. After a short hesitation, Logan answered,“Nothing. I just wanted to call him for a little chat. Isn’t he with you all?”
In response, Matilda told him that John was away as he had gone to the washroom.
After hearing that, Logan decided to give up pressing on. “Alright, I guess I shall leave you guys to it.
Perhaps I’ll call John again later.” Upon hanging up the call, he laid down his phone and sniggered, “Ican’t believe John is now dining with Isabelle. How can he eat before a lady like Isabelle? I guess I’mreally impressed by that.”
Sophia replied with a smile, “Miss Bailey is pretty and kind-hearted. So, don’t get jealous of her.”
“I’m jealous of her?” Logan approached Sophia and pointed at his own eyes. “Listen. I’m not trying toblow my own trumpet, but I can tell whether someone is fake. I may not be good at a lot of things, butjudging characters is definitely not one of them. In fact, I even dare to say I’m second to no one when itcomes to that.”
Looking askance at Logan, Sophia laughed and said, “Alright! Alright! I get it! If there isn’t anything elseimportant, please leave now. I’m going to hit the hay soon.”
