Chapter 852
After distributing the cards, Sophia said, “Alright, here we go. Let the game begin.” novelbin
As soon as she finished her words, she felt someone walking up toward her. Then, she heard achuckle. “It looks like you’re really free.” Upon hearing that voice, she paused, falling into a trance asshe kept staring at her cards while blinking. Why does this voice sound so familiar? A few secondslater, she slowly turned around and sized the person up from toe to head.
“The look on your face is scaring me,” Ian said with a smile.
Then, Sophia put down her cards and stood up. “Why didn’t you tell us ahead that you’d be comingback?”
Ian passed his luggage to the waiters and told them to put it aside first, then he sat down besideSophia and picked up the cards. At the same time, he answered, “I just want to give you guys asurprise.”
This is surprising indeed. If only I had seen this coming, Sophia thought.
Then, Ian gazed at the two waiters and said, “Come on. Let’s continue.”
As both of them also knew Ian, they looked back at him and focused on the cards in their hands. Soon,it was Ian’s turn to show his hand. As he made his move, he asked Sophia about Logan. “Where isLogan? I haven’t seen him here. Why are you here alone?”
“Oh, he is taking a nap upstairs,” Sophia answered.
Surprised, Ian asked, “But you’re here. So, why is he still sleeping upstairs rather than coming down?”
Um. This is a long story, and it’s going to take me a while to explain everything to him. Sophia didn’tknow where to start regarding Logan’s bitter history with Lola, so she only gave a brief reply. “Well, thatguy drank a little more than he could handle when we were eating just now, so he ended up gettingknocked out.”
“I see.” Ian nodded in response, putting an end to the topic.
Upon finishing the game, the two waiters, who were able to cleverly read the situation, put away thecards and left. Meanwhile, Ian turned around and gazed at Sophia with a confused look as his eyesslowly moved from her face to her stomach. Noticing that, Sophia asked, “Oh, can you tell? It has onlyjust started not long ago, so it’s still not that obvious, is it?”
In fact, Ian had already learned about Sophia’s pregnancy from Logan. With no idea where thingsstood between the two of them, the unsuspecting Logan happily explained the entire situation to Ian.While Sophia’s pregnancy should be a good news that was worth celebrating, Ian didn’t seem to sharethe joy with everyone else.
After thinking hard for a while, Ian finally figured something to say. “I bet being pregnant isn’t easy.”
Sophia placed her palm on her stomach. “Everything feels fine now. At least I can still move freely atthe moment, but I guess the same cannot be said a few months later.”
Ian pursed his lips and moved his gaze toward the table. In that instant, he seemed as if he was tryinghard to think of what he could talk about with Sophia, and the lady was starting to feel a little awkward
due to his reaction. Therefore, she quickly changed the subject and asked, “Have you eaten? Perhaps Icould get you a little something.”
Indeed, Ian hadn’t eaten anything as he had been on the road after packing his stuff since early thismorning. It wasn’t until he arrived at Logan’s club that he could finally slow down and relax. Uponhearing Sophia’s kind offer, he nodded and said, “Well, I haven’t taken my lunch yet because I wasplanning to have it with you guys, but it seems like I got here a little too late.”
Then, Sophia stood up to call the waiter so that he could get something for Ian, but after doing that, sheturned around to look at Ian again and said, “Why don’t you just have something light for lunch first andsave it for dinner? We can all gather and have a proper meal then. What do you think?”
