Cindy turned to see Ian smiling. To be honest, he looked handsome when he smiled, but he was too uptight of a person. Despite the gentle front he put up during shows, he didn’t normally smile while off-camera, seemingly disinterested about life in general.
Meanwhile, John had read the latest gossip online. With a snigger, he mused, So this is how he plans to settle things. I suppose it’s fine as long as the public’s attention is directed away from us. John went through a lot of the comments, finally feeling more at ease upon making sure that nobody made mention of Logan and Sophia anymore.
Putting his phone away, John entered the living room to see Sophia leaning against the sofa, while the baby was squirming about in the cradle beside it. In the meantime, Sophia was munching on some fruits while watching over the baby. Soon to be a month old, the baby’s appearance was changing rapidly. While looking all wrinkled and flushed when he was newly born, he was now a chubby baby with round eyes and black hair.
John carried the child in his arms before sitting down beside Sophia, whereas she plucked a grape that she popped into his mouth. “Why did you sneak away just now?”
John couldn’t help but laugh. “What do you mean by sneaking away? I didn’t ‘sneak away’.”
Reaching for his pockets, Sophia retrieved his phone to check on his call logs, messages, and social media before chuckling. “Who were you texting just now?”
John gave her face a pinch with his free hand. “What are you even thinking about? I wasn’t texting anybody. I was just checking on the latest gossip.”
Arching her brow, Sophia asked, “So what did you find?”
Petting the baby lightly, John replied, “I was reading about Ian’s gossip. It turns out that his assistant is now his girlfriend.”
