Chapter 1156


    Isabelle said nothing, but the color was already draining from her face.


    On the other hand, Ernest had made his appearance. There was a podium there, and he went up to


    thank everyone, as per social events. He was obviously excited, but Sophia couldn’t care less. She


    didn’t sleep that afternoon, and she was washed over by a wave of sleepiness. Then, she leaned


    against John, falling into his arms.


    John kissed her. “What is it? Are you tired?”


    “Yes,” she said weakly. Usually, she’d sleep untilte in the afternoon, but since Logan and L were


    there that day, she didn’t go to bed. Because of that, she felt like dozing off.


    John hugged her. “We’ll find a ce for you to nap.”


    Sophia smiled. “Thanks.”


    After that, John took Sophia toward Isabelle. Elder Mr. Bailey was just beside her, but he pretended not


    to see them. At the same time, Isabelle stood straight up when she saw John. “What is it?”


    John smiled. “I just want to ask if you have any room we can use to rest. Sophia’s getting sleepy. She’s


    down with something, so standing around has made her unwell.”


    “I see. We do have a room here. Come with me.”


    John nodded. “Thank you.”


    Then, Isabelle took them to a room in the main residence. Before they left, her gaze met her


    grandfather’s, and the look of warning in his eyes did not escape her. Isabelle looked away, and her


    expression turned serious.


    The Constance couple were led to a room on the second floor, and Logan came over once they went


    inside. “Why are you guys here? What’s wrong with Sophia? I look away for two seconds, and you


    guys are gone.”


    John smiled. “She’s just tired. That’s all.”


    In response, Logan nodded, and he cheekily said, “I’m beat, so can I take a rest here too?”


    Sophiaughed. “Sure. There’s a sofa where you can rest.”


    Logan stretched his arms and went to the sofa. “I hate events like this. Everyone dresses up like


    they’re royalty. God, it’s annoying.”


    John grinned. Shooting straight was Logan’s trait, and he didn’t care who he offended. Isabelle


    pretended not to hear that, for she knew what Logan was like. Her attention was on Sophia. “Have a


    good rest. Nothing’s going on down there. Come find me when you’re done napping.”


    Sophia smiled. “Sure.”


    Then, Isabelle left with John, while Logan stayed back in the room. Isabelle leaned against the bedside


    and waited. Around ten minutester, John texted her, then she read it and smiled.


    Logan stood up. “Can we start now?”


    “Yes, we can.” Sophia nodded.

    Hence, Logan texted L, telling her to get ready, then he exited the room. Nobody was outside in the


    corridor, for everyone went to meet Ernest in the backyard. He beckoned at Sophia, and she left the


    room, lifting her dress. It was easy leaving through the front door when everyone including the servants


    were in the backyard. Not a soul realized Sophia and Logan’s departure even when they had exited the


    residence’s gates.
