Female Novel
Chapter 800
Did Isabelle have to text the three of us to say the same thing? I don’t even know whether I shoulddescribe her action as unnecessary or considerate, Sophia thought.
Since it was time for office workers to get off work, the traffic was heavy, which caused them to be late.When they arrived, Isabelle was already inside the private room. After Matilda pushed open the door,Isabelle immediately rose from the chair. “Madam Flintstone.”
Matilda grunted before saying, “We’re sorry for being late.”
Acting all considerate, Isabelle replied, “The traffic must be heavy at this hour. It’s understandable thatyou’re late.”
Following that, John and Sophia stepped into the room without greeting Isabelle, as they werediscussing Logan’s mysterious matter.
John chuckled and said in a lowered voice, “Don’t worry. Logan will tell you about it in two days. If youknew nothing at all, he probably wouldn’t spill it. Since you were there and got to know a little of hisproblem, he will look for you when he needs someone to talk about his issue.”
With an eyebrow raised, Sophia remarked, “You know him so well.” novelbin
As they giggled and spoke in a low voice, Isabelle was jealous. After shooting them a look, she said,“Please be seated. I’ve ordered some dishes. You can order more if you need to.”
With that, she pushed the menu toward Sophia, who curled up her lips and said thanks.
When Sophia picked up the menu, John leaned in to her. Sophia gave him a look and went to Matildawith the menu. “Madam Flintstone, let’s take a look together.”
John was startled for a moment and chuckled, his gaze brimming with helplessness and love.
Isabelle stared at him and thought, Why does he always smile so tenderly at Sophia? With a straightface, no one could tell that she was burning with jealousy.
While Sophia was going through the menu, Isabelle said, “Miss Gwendolyn, we had somemisunderstanding at the hospital some time ago. I couldn’t control myself and laid a hand on you. I’msorry. I didn’t know you’re pregnant. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise I would neverforgive myself.”
Sophia shifted her attention from the menu to her face. With a smile, she replied, “It’s no big deal. If younever insisted on treating us to a meal, I would have forgotten about it.”
Isabelle nodded. “I know you’re magnanimous, but I feel really sorry, so I want to apologize to youpersonally.”
Although Sophia was smirking at Isabelle, her smile was hollow. In fact, she admired Isabelle for herreadiness to give and take, for she could never be like her. If she were in her place, she probablywouldn’t contact the other party again. By severing ties with the people she didn’t like, she wouldn’tupset herself. Honestly, Isabelle’s action is making life hard for both herself and me.
After Matilda and Sophia ordered two dishes respectively, they passed the menu to John. “Come on.It’s your turn.”
With a smile, John replied, “That’s enough. Sophia’s favorite food is my favorite food as well.”
Sophia snorted. “You’re such a charmer, huh?”
John chuckled. “Are you trying to remind me I never said enough sweet words to you in the past?”
Pouting her lips, Sophia fell silent.
Having witnessed their interaction, Isabelle managed to keep the smile on her face.
While they were waiting for the dishes to be served, Isabelle picked up a glass of water and turned toSophia. “I know you can’t drink alcohol, and John has to drive, so I never ordered any wine. With thisglass of water, I apologize to you.”
With a mild expression, Sophia took a look at the glass of water and lifted it in response, but she neverseemed to have the intention of drinking it.
