After Logan’s dramatic speech, Sophia felt goosebumps all over her, then she mocked him in a whisper, “What’s wrong with you? Why the sudden speech? Are you triggered by something?”
He tousled his hair and replied, “Nah, I was simply expressing my real thoughts in front of you all. Look at that expression! You make me feel embarrassed of myself!”
Does he even know what it is to be embarrassed? She was taken aback when he shed his lackadaisical behavior from before. Now, he started to look like a real man.
Sophia then said, “Go on. I feel that you have a lot to tell us.”
Logan started chuckling. “I felt that I had a lot to tell you before this, but your interruption made me lose my train of thoughts. I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say now.”
Thus, Sophia lifted her glass and said apologetically, “Alright, alright. It’s all my fault, but your sudden dramatic speech really shocked me.”
Logan laughed jovially at her reply. On this day, he seemed to be in a great mood because the smile had never left his lips, as if he had never been down in the dumps days ago.
Without Richard’s presence and the secret competition between John and Ian, the dinner went on smoothly. Due to the age gap between William and the other two youngsters, he did not talk to them much. Most of the time, he turned to chat with Matilda.
To be honest, Sophia had some understanding about William’s background. After all, she spent a year under the same roof with him.
Before this, William was reticent. When he was with Matilda, she talked more than he did all the time. But now, sitting beside Matilda, he clearly had more to talk about compared to her; he was even telling her about some company matters.
