The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

It took quite a while for Logan to pick up. The background over there sounded a little noisy, but it didn’t sound like people were playing poker. Sophia asked Logan where he was, to which he hummed and only said he was out without going much into detail.

Sophia frowned. “It’s so late now. Are you out alone?”

Only after brief contemplation did Logan reply, “Yes, I’m alone.”

If he had answered immediately, Sophia would have believed it. But he undoubtedly gave it a thought first, so she felt that he wasn’t telling the truth. She asked, “Do you have time tomorrow? I want to go to your clubhouse to play some poker.”

Logan hesitated before saying, “Yes. If you’re coming, I’ll make time.”

His reply caused Sophia to narrow her eyes. “Okay. We’ll talk more tomorrow then.”

After hanging up the phone, she tapped it on her palm. Her intuition told her that something was going on over at Logan’s side, and it seemed that he didn’t want to talk to her about it. Young Master Logan is obviously hiding something from me. As curiosity rose in her, she itched to know what had happened.

Matilda was still in Sophia’s room, so she continued talking with her. It wasn’t until her son came back that she left for her own room. She opened the door and went in without looking properly at the inside of the room. Closing the door after her, she went to the closet and took a set of pajamas out, then walked toward the bathroom.

Suddenly, there came a voice from the window. “Did you really not see me, or are you just pretending?”
