However, Kate had a smile on her face, so she seemed quite spirited. Sophia examined Kate before moving closer to John. “She seems to be of the same age as your grandmother.”
By that point, John already stood up. “She’s older than my grandmother.”
Kate showed up to thank her guests for attending the event, which she then followed up with more pleasantries. Also, she told them to go get the food that was served at the rear end of the venue. It was about time to let the banquet begin as a lot of the guests arrived early in the morning without having breakfast.
Sophia, John and Logan walked up to the tables as soon as it began, while Old Mr. Jefferson and Old Mrs. Constance gathered around the same table, leaving the youngsters to their own separate tables.
As Logan was the one who brought Sophia along, she followed him to the table while John tagged along. Upon witnessing that, Sophia turned to ask John, “Why are you following me?”
John responded with a frown on his face. “I am not following you but Logan. What’s wrong with that?”
Upon hearing what John said, Logan cried out in surprise. “John was thinking of teaming up with me earlier on, but he didn’t get the chance to do so. Come on. Let’s just sit together since we’re all here now.”
After telling her father about it, Isabelle joined them, which was something Sophia admired her for. If they switched positions, Sophia would never do as she did, as she would stay away from the person who hated her.
Everybody was looking for a seat by that point, but none of them were in a hurry as there were plenty of seats. After everybody was seated, there were a few more empty seats across Sophia, which made her say after some thought, “I should’ve come in my pajamas instead of a gown.”
Logan agreed to her notion while loosening his tie. “I feel uncomfortable in this suit.”
The table wasn’t huge, so it could only fit around five to six people, but none of the other guests were willing to sit down by their table as soon as they saw who occupied it, so despite the commotion, their table ended up being occupied by them four. Logan was delighted with the space they had, so he immediately moved his chair while saying, “Come on, instead of squeezing together, let’s make more space since it’s just the four of us.”
Sophia gave John a shove before demanding, “You, move there.”
John responded by moving slightly away from her. His response annoyed Sophia, so she moved away on her own while wearing a smirk, which John couldn’t help but laugh at. Isabelle could only pretend to not have seen any of their interaction. After that, Logan handed Sophia a pair of chopsticks. “Have you had breakfast? Come, have something to eat. I remember that you only drank some juice earlier.”
A waiter passed by their table, so John called out to him, The waiter responded by coming up to him quickly. “I would like some warm milk,” said John. Then, as if suddenly remembering something else, he turned to Isabelle and asked, “Would you like some as well? We’ll order two of that if you would like some.”
John didn’t need to ask that question, but he deliberately did anyway. Getting what John was trying to imply, Isabelle simply smiled and replied, “No, thank you. I already had breakfast.”
With that, John turned to the waiter to ask for just one cup of warm milk, but Sophia smirked as she said, “Don’t you tell me it’s for me. You know I hate milk.”
However, John didn’t even look her way. “Did you forget you have a weak stomach? What were you even thinking when you skipped breakfast? My grandmother told me to bring you to a checkup when I have the time, as this is no laughing matter. You’ll get into trouble when you get older.”
With a snort, Sophia asked, “What does it have to do with you anyway?”
“How could it have nothing to do with me?” John shot back.
Logan was having a fun time watching them bicker, but he was startled by what John said. “Does it have anything to do with you?”
