Female Novel
Chapter 660
After cleaning up her room, Sophia left for the kitchen to check on the ingredients in the fridge so thatshe could plan out what to make for dinner. There were still some veggies, a fish, as well as someingredients for a salad, which should be more than enough.
While she was busying herself with meal prep, Logan arrived in a flurry of anger. With how he looked,people might assume he was there to pick a fight with her instead of being her support. From within thekitchen, she instructed, “You’re just in time to help with washing the veggies.”
Logan obeyed without hesitation, fastening the apron around him. “What happened last night? Johntold me you were being targeted.”
Chuckling, Sophia commented, “He sure does tell you everything.”
“Of course.” Logan seemed to assume it was natural that John trusted him. “It’s because John and Ihave a common goal in mind. Come, tell me what happened last night. Who has the guts to crossyou?”
Sophia hummed in response before taking over the conversation. “How should I know what’s going on?I am still feeling confused about the incident.”
Although they were the only occupants of the house, Logan whispered upon moving closer to Sophia,“Could Isabelle possibly be behind this? That woman is a scoundrel, so could she be plotting againstyou in secret?”
However, she wasn’t about to jump to conclusions as she had no proof. “I don’t know, but I don’t thinkIsabelle will be willing to dirty her hands.”
Logan licked his lips. “Could it be the Morgans? It’s possible that they’re behind this.”
Sophia was amused by his guesses. Since Logan had such a bad impression of the Morgans, hewould immediately suspect them whenever something shady happened. While they were chatting, theyhad a guest. At first, Sophia assumed it was John, but their guest turned out to be Matilda. novelbin
Matilda’s presence made Sophia feel uneasy. Upon scanning her surroundings, Matilda asked, “Is Johnnot back yet? I thought you would all be here.” Meanwhile, Sophia went to the fridge as she knew thedishes they made wouldn’t be enough for dinner now that they had more people, so she wanted tomake a few more. With a frown, Matilda checked on Sophia. “You shouldn’t be cooking! Come on out!John will handle the rest when he gets home.”
She sure is mutable, Sophia thought. Despite her claiming to feel sorry for John not so long ago whilewhining about him not being suited for cooking, it turned out that she had no qualms about bossing himaround. Standing by the sink, Sophia said, “It’s alright. I can handle minor tasks like cooking.”
Logan glanced between Matilda and Sophia, obviously noting that something was off between them.As soon as Matilda sat down on the sofa, he snuck up to Sophia before probing, “What’s going onbetween you two? You seem to be behaving differently around each other.”
A smile tugged at Sophia’s lips as she joked, “Perhaps she finally realized how nice of a person I am.”
Even Logan understood it as a joke as he continued to grumble, “Matilda is actually a very stubbornwoman who is hard to get along with. I never liked her to begin with, and I know that the feelings aremutual.”
Sophia gave a hum before taking a jab at him. “Not many people like you anyway. Do you not noticethe faces of those privileged people whenever they see you? Only people like me appreciate yourcompany.”
Bursting into laughter, Logan looped an arm around Sophia’s shoulder. “We are birds of a featherindeed! I knew it as soon as I saw you! I knew back when we first met and played games together thatyou’re someone who I could hang out with!”
With a smile, Sophia continued washing the veggies, whereas Matilda’s expression soured uponseeing that Logan had an arm around Sophia’s shoulder.
