Logan snorted. “I even called John before and asked about it. John seemed very angry when he talked about this matter.”
Sophia remembered John’s antagonistic tone during that phone conversation that had made her uncomfortable. Caught in the thought, she didn't respond to Logan, who continued to say, “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, so I asked John about it. I thought the two of you had gotten back together after the divorce, but he blew up at me when I asked.”
Sophia waved a hand. “Let’s not talk about John anymore. No matter how his life has become, it has nothing to do with me. Have you eaten dinner yet? If you haven’t, stay for dinner here.”
Logan had a one-track mind, so when Sophia changed the topic, he too forgot about John. Then, he leaned against the sofa and replied, “I haven’t eaten yet, but I’m craving for fish. Do you have any fish here?”
Sophia nodded. “I have some croaker fish. I’ll make you dinner then.”
With how considerate Sophia was being, the unhappiness in Logan’s heart dissipated. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sophia enter the kitchen and put on her apron.
Logan had a rather childish attitude when it came to these things. Earlier, he had felt upset when he thought of Ian and Sophia secretly getting together, but now, seeing that Sophia was no different from before, he felt much better.
After waiting for a while, he got up and went into the kitchen. Sophia allowed him to help out, and the two chatted about Ian. Logan said that he had called Ian and asked about what Ian meant when the latter said those words on the stage, but Ian hadn’t explained much and merely said that he had gotten together with Sophia.
Sophia smiled. “Ian is deliberately teasing you. Rest assured, if we get together, I’ll certainly tell you in advance. Why would I hide it from you?”
Logan turned his head and looked at Sophia. “Sophia, since you’ve already said so, I won’t stop you if you two really get together.”
Sophia burst out laughing. “As if you can stop us!”
As the two of them prepared the meal, they talked and laughed with each other. Then, they went to the dining room to dig into their dinner.
Logan’s phone was placed on the table. Halfway through the meal, the phone vibrated twice. Logan took a look before smacking his mouth. “Ah, it’s John.”
John had sent a message to ask Logan where he was and if he wanted to go out for a drink together. After staring at the message for a while, Logan turned the phone around and showed it to Sophia. “Look, John is asking me to go out for a drink. He must be feeling upset.”
Sophia only gave the phone a quick glance. “Will you go over after dinner?”
Logan checked the time and replied, “Yeah, I’ll go over after dinner. Let me ask him if he’s being jealous of you and Ian.” Then, he burst into merciless laughter. “I really think it’s possible. To be honest, John is a really strange guy. If he can’t let go of you, why did he divorce you? I still don't understand that.”
Sophia chuckled. “You’re wrong about him not being able to let go of me. He just has a big ego and doesn’t want to lose to Ian.”
Taken aback for a moment, Logan frowned and thought about it. Well, that makes sense too. If it were me, I would be upset too if my ex-wife got together with another man so soon after our divorce. In fact, if it were me, I would totally mess up their relationship first regardless of whether anyone likes it or not.
Logan nodded. “Yeah, I suppose that makes sense.” Thus, he sent a message to John asking the address of the bar, and John gave him the address after a while. Logan read out the address to Sophia, then he commented, “Oh, that’s a pretty lively place.”
Sophia knew the bar in question. It was quite a big one and there were all kinds of people who frequented it.
