Sophia chuckled. “What’s wrong? Who has offended you?”
Logan grunted and replied over the phone, “Nothing. I’m good.”
Putting aside Ian’s welcome back party for the moment, Sophia said with a smile, “What happened? You don’t sound okay.”
Logan replied, “I… Err…” Suddenly thinking of something, he decided not to tell her about it. “Forget it. I’m fine.”
Feeling helpless, Sophia said, “Logan, you’ve been acting strangely recently. In the past, you were a straightforward man. Nowadays, you always beat around the bush and can’t even speak properly.”
Logan was startled. “Really? I don’t think I’ve changed.”
Sophia clicked her tongue. “You were not like this in the past. You were a decisive man.”
Logan fell silent for a moment before saying, “You’re right. I’ve been indecisive recently. I wasn’t like this in the past. No! I have to get back to my past self, the ever confident Young Master Jefferson!” Before Sophia could speak, he continued, “I know what to do now. Sophia, I have something else to do now. I’ll get back to you later.”
Sophia called out to him, as she hadn’t talked about her plan for Ian’s welcome back party yet. However, Logan ignored her and hung up the call. Clenching her phone, Sophia was still baffled as to what had happened.
What has gotten into him? Why has he been acting weird lately? After giving it a thought, she decided to call Robin.
Since it wasn’t busy at the shop, Robin picked up the call and said in a relaxed tone, “Sophia, yes?”
Sophia asked, “Are you with Lincoln?”
Robin giggled. “Yes. Business has been good for the past few days, so we’ve been quite busy.”
“That’s good.” After a short moment of contemplation, Sophia asked her if Logan had paid a visit to the shop recently.
Thinking of something, Robin replied, “When I brought my mom to the hospital for a check-up some time ago, I came across Logan.”
Sophia was surprised. “You saw Logan at the hospital?”
Robin grunted. “Yes. However, I don’t think he was there to see a doctor. Furthermore, as a rich man, he must have direct access to the doctor, so he doesn’t have to line up like the rest of us do.”
After thinking for a bit, Sophia nodded. “I wonder if Logan has been struck with some kind of embarrassing illness, so he went to see a doctor alone. Perhaps that’s why he’s too shy to tell me about it.” Well, it’s really awkward to ask him about it.
After a pause, Robin told Sophia that her wedding date with Lincoln had been decided, and they would soon book a venue and get some wedding photos taken. When the invitation cards were ready, she would send them to John and her personally.
Hearing that, Sophia quickly congratulated her.
Since Lincoln wasn’t around, Robin heaved a sigh. “I feel like I’m being pushed forward now. I don’t even know what I want anymore. Anyway, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Her words sounded helpless.
After some deliberation, Sophia replied, “Perhaps you’re just feeling lost before the marriage. I’m sure you’ll get over it after the wedding. Since this is going to be a big change in your life, it’s normal that you’re unsure what to do.”
Robin smiled. “Maybe.”
Since customers started streaming in, Robin had to serve them. Normally, there would be many customers in the morning.
Not wanting to bother her any further, Sophia said goodbye and hung up the call. Getting out of the bed, she got changed and went downstairs.
