Chapter 1119


    John apologized upon entering the living room, “Sorry for beingte. I had a client who came to me at thest minute.”


    With a wave of his hand, Logan dismissed his concern. “It’s all fine as long as you’re here. Let us begin, and we can leave as soon as we end


    this.” Although he didn’t sound malicious, it did make the rest of them feel ufortable.


    Meanwhile, John led the four of them upstairs and into the study. Logan got himself a chair before sitting with his legs propped up, as if


    without a care in the world, whereas L sat down some distance away from him after getting her own chair.


    Even without Sophia’s reminder, John could see that Logan and L didn’t seem as close as before. Averting his gaze, he wore a smile while


    thinking to himself, That’s right. Their rtionship wouldn’t have progressed if they maintained their previous dynamic. Only through


    conflicts and arguments that rtionships are able to develop. Looking at Logan, John said, “You should move closer. Sitting too far away


    from each other makes it hard for us to proceed with the discussion.”

    L gave it some thought before moving closer, whereas Logan followed suit reluctantly after a few seconds, not unlike a child throwing a


    tantrum. Watching Logan’s behavior from the sidelines, Sophia stifled augh upon realizing he did that precisely because he wanted to get


    L’s attention. He wanted her to know that he was upset, and would like her tofort him. Due to his straightforwardness, that was all the


    pettiness he could manage.


    As soon as they were all settled, John began exining the ns for that day.


    Ernest’s birthday celebration would begin in the afternoon, and would seemingly carry on into the night, which would be the ideal time to


    implement their ns. John and Sophia were nning to get to the venue a littleter than the designated starting time. After that, Sophia


    would only spend an hour at the venue before retreating. With the skies having darkened by that point, it would be easier for L to take


    Sophia’s ce without being noticed. Nodding his head, Logan seemed to be quite invested in the n although his rtionship with L


    was somewhat strained at that point in time. “I will be attending the event with you guys. Hanging around Sophia from the beginning will


    make things look less odd when I am with L after she takes Sophia’s ce.” John agreed to his suggestion with a nod before turning to ask


    L, “What do you make of this arrangement, Miss Hunt?” L had nothing else to add, so she agreed to it. Later on, John briefed them on


    the people and events that they might encounter during that day. Most probably, both Isabelle’s father and grandfather might probe them,


    which Sophia might be able to help fend off when she was still at the venue. However, John wasn’t sure what other tricks the Baileys might


    pull after that, so Logan and L had to improvise if that was the case. For instance, if someone were to invite Sophia to an asion, L


    would have to think of manners to turn down the invitation. With a nod, L said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, as I have experience dealing


    with situations like that.” John had faith in her abilities. In fact, when he first asked Logan if either Jasmine or L was able to assist him in


    the task, he preferred L’s help over Jasmine’s. Compared to Jasmine, L had more of an advantage, so she would be of greater help than


    if Jasmine was involved. It was fortunate that L agreed to help in the end. .
