Chapter 449


    Looking at Logan, Sophia asked, “Why are you so sure that it’s Leah who reported you?”


    “It’s her if I said so. Even if it isn’t her, this trouble belongs to her now,” he replied stubbornly.


    Just then, Ian arrived with a concerned look. “What happened? I heard that the ce has been raided


    again.”


    Logan grunted in reply and sat down, sulking.


    It made Sophia a little ufortable to see Ian now because she had spouted some nonsense to


    John. As John seemed to be really oddtely, she was worried that he might confront Ian about it.


    Well, this is… After pondering for a while, she decided to disregard Logan’s problem for now. She


    made a hooking gesture with her finger at Ian, and he arched his brow. Then, she nodded, and he


    chuckled as he followed her out the door.


    Sophia actually wasn’t sure how to start, and she stuttered for a long time before finally clutching her


    hair, saying, “There’s something I would like to inform you, and I feel apologetic toward you about it.”


    Grinning, Ian asked, “What is it that got you so embarrassed?”


    With a sullen look, she said, “Well, I got ahead of myself today with my words and identally involved

    you in it.”


    “Oh, what happened next? What did you say?”


    With a dryugh, she tried to rify the situation awkwardly, “It’s like this, John said many ridiculous


    things today, and to stop him from going further, I told him that I like you just to get him off my back. I


    really just said it as a slip of the tongue, so I hope you won’t mind. When the opportunityes, I’ll be


    sure to make things clear to him and not cause you any trouble.”


    Ian appeared surprised, but he smirked. “It’s not such a big deal.”


    Taking in a deep breath, she exined, “The point is, he’s acting really oddtely, and I’m worried that


    he’ll pick on you.”


    Chuckling, he reached out and stroked her head gently. “It’s fine. I know what to tell him if hees


    looking for me.”


    Seeing the expression on his face, Sophia thought that he really didn’t seem to mind it at all, and she


    breathed a sigh of relief. “Thanks a lot.”


    Suddenly, Logan shouted from indoors even before Ian could say anything else. “Aren’t the both of you


    going to console me a little? Someone picked on me again today, and I’m feeling really sh*tty now.”


    Sophia and Ian responded in unison and went inside without noticing that the car parked across the


    street had rolled down the window, showing the passenger’s face clearly. If Sophia had turned around


    and took one nce, she would have immediately noticed. However…


    John rolled the window back up. She was only focused on smiling at Ian with that shy, gentle look.


    In an icy tone, he instructed, “Let’s go home.”


    In the evening, Sophia received a call from the ckwells. In fact, it was Kate who had made the call


    personally, saying that she had forgotten to bring the set of jewelry with her when she left. Now that it


    was packed properly, Belinda had taken it with herself so that she could pass it to her.


    “Oh, alright. I got it. Thank you,” she replied.


    Kate sounded especially friendly when she said, “You’re wee, but this is meant for you. I’m just


    thinking that whenever you’re free in the future, you cane over to my ce to visit, Miss


    Gwendolyn. I’m usually home.”


    Unsure if Kate was just being polite or if she really meant it, Sophia went along and agreed, “Okay, I’ll


    be sure to visit you when I’m free.”


    They didn’t chat much more because it seemed like Kate had to attend to something, and they hung


    up. Laying on her bed, she thought of updating her social media story, but she didn’t want to post a


    selfie picture. Thus, she posted the picture she took together with Ian in the afternoon at the clubhouse.
