However, nothingcame out of his mouth because his mind was blank.
Soon, a waiter approached Logan to inform him about the arrival of Matilda and Sophia. In response,Logan replied, “I see. Just tell them that I’m asleep. Sophia knows her way around here.” Feelingmoody, Logan was hoping that someone could lend him a pair of ears to confide in, but hesubsequently had a change of heart as he only wished to keep to himself.

Atthis moment, he received a message on his phone, which he chose to ignore when it rang once earlier.Now that he was lying in his bed, he finally decided to reach for his phone to check out his message.

Upon skimming through the message, Logan angrily swore to himself. “Darn it, b*tches! Who the hellgives two hoots about her?!” Then, he tossed his phone aside and turned around in bed, wrappinghimself in his blanket as he closed his eyes. There is nothing sleeping can’t solve. After all, that’s theonly moment that I can be free from all this disturbance.
In the meantime, Sophia and Matilda came to a private lounge, where they were served with fruits andtea before the waiter excused himself. After that, Sophia held Matilda’s arm and said, “Alright, so whathappened back there?”
However, Matilda scratched her head in confusion and replied, “I’m probably as baffled as you are rightnow. In fact, I don’t even know where to start either.” novelbin
Sophia said with a smile, “Come on! You’re the one who went through that. How can you not knowanything?”
Indeed, Matilda had no idea where to begin as everything seemed normal when she ran into Williamback at the restaurant. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but have a hunch that their coincidentalencounter was a key to something important, even though she didn’t know what that might be.
Noticing Matilda’s expression, Sophia decided not to press on further with her questions as she couldtell that the former was still in shock from what had just happened. The next moment, however, Sophiacrossed her legs while sitting in the chair. “Actually, the way I see it, it wasn’t much of a big deal. Youonly just bumped into your ex-husband while dining with a friend. What’s wrong with that? Furthermore,what exactly could your ex-husband do anyway? It’s not like you both are planning to rekindle oldflames, so he really doesn’t have a reason to be mad at you.”
After hearing Sophia’s point, Matilda agreed with her and responded with an affirmative grunt. “You’reright. What could William do even if Richard and I were more than just friends? Who is he to be angryabout that?”
“Yeah, exactly.” Sophia gazed at Matilda and added, “Show him your backbone. You’re to blame forhow things ended up for you and your ex-husband, but you’re a woman after all, so that makes it okayfor you to be reserved.”
As she said that, her words reminded her of herself and John. She suddenly found herself similar towhom she advised Matilda to be.
Meanwhile, William and John were on their way back to their company. While his father didn’t say asingle word, John was suddenly amused by a thought that flashed across his mind. He then said, “Itseems that someone isn’t happy to see Mom dining with another man.”
After a brief contemplation, William directly admitted it. “Well, that definitely didn’t sit well with me.”
John smiled and said, “Well, what was there that you could have done? After all, both of you aredivorced, and it’s her freedom to be anyone. You can’t do anything.”
William looked askance at John. “And you sound like someone watching and gloating from thesideline.”
In response, John only pursed his lips. “Actually, I used to think that Mom was likely going to end upspending her days in solitude for the rest of her life if she ended up getting divorced with you, judgingfrom her age and previous personality, but it looks like I was wrong. I didn’t expect getting into a secondrelationship was so easy for her.”
