The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Written on a piece of yellow paper, the divination lot was even handwritten with a calligraphy pen. Looks like the Oracle is an insightful person, Sophia concluded from the writing. When written on paper, the meaning behind the divination lot became clearer to her, and she nodded, thinking that it did seem like a really auspicious lot.

Standing on her own now, Kate turned her attention to the spectators below the stage. “There is entertainment in the backyard, and the gifts are ready as well. Go ahead and enjoy yourselves there, everyone,” she announced, sounding more energetic than earlier.

The onlookers said their congratulations as though the divination lot was drawn for them, and Sophia turned to look at Belinda, who nodded at her delightfully.

A few minutes later, Logan returned to the hall when almost half the guest had already left. Swaying around as he walked, it was clear that he had too much to drink today.

John hurriedly held him, worried that he might make a scene of himself. “You drank too much. Take a rest in one of the lounges.”

“What about Sophia?” he slurred.

Sighing, John assured, “She’s fine, so go and rest now.”

Scanning around, Logan caught Sophia standing next to Kate, and he snorted in disapproval. “Why did she go up on the stage?”

As he knew that he was not in his best state, he didn’t want to go to her. Thus, after weighing his options, he turned to Dylan next to him and grinned sheepishly. “Dylan, I’m handing over Sophia to you. Take care of her for me because I know that I had too much to drink and need to sober up a little somewhere. I’ll be back after I’ve sobered up.”
