William massaged his brows before taking a seat. “Yes, I’ve been thinking about that too but I really don’t feel like talking to your muddle-headed mother.”
John walked over and sat down in the chair opposite to him. “What should we do next then?”
William sighed, “I’ll give a call to the Baileys soon to see what they think about the matter.”
That was the only thing they could do at the moment.
On the other hand, Sophia went to bed early that night. Perhaps because she was psychologically strong enough, she actually managed to have a deep slumber all the way until the next morning.
She woke up in a state of confusion because even she herself found it hard to believe that she had actually slept through the night.
Indeed, she was getting increasingly resilient and tough.
After washing up, she headed downstairs and found no sight of John’s car in the courtyard. From the looks of it, it seemed like he had spent the entire night outside.
She went on to reheat the dumplings, which was the leftover from last night, and enjoyed it while scrolling news on her phone.
Seeing that the news about her divorce with John had yet to be exposed on the internet, she supposed Third Young Lady Jefferson had done something to stop it from leaking to the media.
No matter what, Sophia thought she should express her gratitude to the Jeffersons for the huge favor they had done her.
After finishing the dumplings, she gave Logan a call.
Just seconds after she dialed his number, she saw John’s car pulling up in the courtyard.
While she was busy staring at his car, her call to Logan was put through.
Smiling, she asked casually, “Hey, Logan, are you up?”
Logan was still snuggling in his bed but he chose to fib. “I woke up way earlier than this; it’s too late to still be in bed.”
Sophia chuckled at his answer because she could sense that he was talking in the typical raspy voice one would have just seconds after one woke up.
Noticing that John was getting out of his car, she decided to bring the call upstairs.
