Raising his hand, Logan rubbed his thumb and forefinger together. “I could kill her any time, you know?”
Not responding to him, Sophia and John just let him keep rattling on. After the restaurant owner served the food, Sophia stopped listening to Logan and started enjoying her food.
Upon rambling for a while longer, Logan lowered his head and looked at the food on the table. Having made a fuss for a long time, he had expended most of his energy. Smelling the aroma of the food now, he realized that he was hungry.
Pressing his lips together, he gazed at the other two and saw that they were not willing to respond to him. After giving it a thought, he decided to keep his mouth shut and started nibbling at the food.
Finding it amusing, Sophia smiled.
When they were done with having breakfast, John had to go to work. Since Sophia had nothing else to do, she decided to follow Logan back to his clubhouse. Then, she called Matilda to invite her to come over.
Though surprised at first, Matilda then agreed to it.
Seated in the private room of the clubhouse, Sophia gazed at the still grumpy Logan and asked, “How did you and Lola fall into an argument? What made her decide to punch you?”
Agitated at the mention of the fact that he was punched, Logan said, “I didn’t put my guard up since she is a woman. Otherwise, she could never have harmed me.”
Hearing that, Sophia nodded repeatedly. “Yes, you’re right. I’m asking what the argument was about that she had to lay a hand on you.”
At that instant, Logan couldn’t recall what the argument was about. He just said many nasty things to her. Lola has always been resentful of me. I have a feeling that she had wanted to hit me for a long time. That b*tch is seriously a daredevil.
Logan replied, “I can’t remember. Maybe I said something like she deserved to be injured. I said many things, so I couldn’t remember clearly. With one arm broken, that woman jumped up and hit me. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s wounded, I would have landed a kick on her, which would have prolonged her stay in the hospital.”
Sophia nodded and praised him instead. “Fortunately, you didn’t really harm her. A real man doesn’t lay his hand on a woman.”
Logan’s face twitched. “What do you mean by that?”
Sophia chuckled. “I’m saying you’re a gentleman.” After making Logan sit down, she continued, “Relax. Why are you being so uptight? Since the matter is over, you should stop thinking about it.”
The matter is over, but I’m not done with her. Other than my four sisters, I had never been punched by another woman before. What the heck! I was stupefied when that happened. That was totally out of my expectation. After she hit me, she even called me a piece of trash. I can still remember vividly her tone and her contemptuous gaze at that moment. Given the short distance between us, if I really kicked her, she wouldn’t have been able to dodge it. After giving it a thought, I decided against doing it. Some time ago, she was trying to catch a thief and eventually managed to bring him back to the police station. However, she was wounded during the process. If it weren’t for the fact that she was injured, I would have taken revenge on the spot, Logan thought to himself.
A while later, Matilda arrived at the clubhouse. With her hair tied in a ponytail, she was clad in casual clothes, looking lively. Walking up to Sophia, she said, “I’m going to meet that man later.”
Understanding what she meant, Sophia asked, “You mean the man your mother has introduced to you?”
