The few of them said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant.
As he walked, Logan flipped the wide sleeves of his pajamas, swaggering across the road, and went to the clubhouse on the opposite side of the road.
The club was packed with people at this time.
There were many cars parked at the entrance, and the doorman at the club entrance kept bowing and greeting guests.
When Logan went over, he patted the doorman's shoulder solemnly.
When Sophia saw this, she asked, "How did you get to know a friend like him?" She was speaking to John.
John glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "Then how did you know him?"
"Oh, it was through Ian. The two of them were friends. I just took advantage of Ian's being friends with him."
John turned around and got in the car.
Sophia turned around and said goodbye to Ian, then called out to Robin, "Come on, it's late at night. It won't be safe for a girl like you to go home by herself. We will send you back."
The two got into the car. Sophia lowered the window and waved to Ian, who was outside.
Unwilling to witness the glee on her face, John quickly looked away.
After the car had driven out, John said quietly, "So you do know that it is not safe for a girl to go out alone." He wasn't loud, but his words were filled with irony.
Sophia frowned and hissed, wanting to vent her frustrations for Logan on John.
But seeing that Robin was still in the car, after thinking about it, she endured it.
The car drove to Robin's district first. When Robin got out of the car, she repeatedly said thank you to Sophia.
Sophia waved her hand. "It's okay. If we get a chance in the future, let's go out together again."
Robin was very happy today and repeatedly agreed.
They waited for Robin to enter her district, then drove off.
On the way home, Sophia and John remained quiet.
When the car reached Sophia’s house, she got out without delay, entering the house saying nary a word.
After paying the driver, John had a cigarette outside before entering, only to see Sophia had already gone upstairs.
Standing by the window downstairs, he looked at the courtyard. His phone had been vibrating in his pocket all this while, ever since he got in the car. He didn't need to look to know who was calling. His mother had lost face today, so she was definitely calling him to complain.
But he had no intention of listening to her complaints. Still, she was his mother. If she weren't his mother, he wouldn't give her a fig. Everyday, she always had something to complain about.
However, his phone kept on vibrating. Without a choice, John took out his phone and answered it.
Mrs. Constance asked immediately when he answered the phone, "Is it convenient for you to speak right now?"
This meant that she was going to complain.
John grunted an affirmative. "Just say it."
Words burst from his mother's mouth like a broken dam. "How did Sophia know Logan Jefferson? Were you the one who introduced them to each other? They seem to be really close with each other. With how protective Logan is of Sophia, do we need to worry about them? You know better than I what sort of person Logan is, John. He wouldn't treat someone so well without reason. Just think about it. Wasn't there a rumor about a girl getting a bit close to him and ended up in a bad situation? Just think about how people end up when he sinks his claws in them in his club. You need to be careful when Sophia meets up with him…"
John put the phone down and vaguely heard her continuing to talk without end.
William was not a man of many words. The same went for him. The both of them liked to be quiet, but looking at Mrs. Constance and Sophia, it was the total opposite; both of them were very noisy people.
Mrs. Constance talked for a very long time. When she noticed that there wasn't any response from his side, she called out, "Hello? John? Are you listening to me?"
John picked up his phone again. "I did not introduce them to each other. I only learned that they knew each other today. I am just as surprised as you are."
