After saying that, Logan turned to Lola and introduced her to William as well. “And this is Lola Hunt, my friend.”
Standing up, Lola inclined her head at William. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Constance.” novelbin
William stared at her for a while before chuckling. “You look rather familiar.”
At this, mild embarrassment flooded Lola. “There was once a hostage situation at Constance Group, and I was one of the police officers sent to deal with the incident. At that time, I even took your statement.”
All at once, William recalled the incident back then. He nodded as he murmured an acknowledgment. “So, it was you. I remember that it was a young girl who took my statement back then, and she was extremely calm. In such a situation, many men would’ve been shaking like a leaf.”
Lola chortled. “Perhaps it’s because I’ve encountered such situations too often. Actually, I was also afraid in the face of such a situation back when I first started working as a police officer. But as time went by, I slowly got used to it. After all, we have no choice but to rush forward. We can’t expect the onlookers to act in our stead.
” William looked at her thoughtfully. “It’s truly not an easy job.” Meanwhile, Matilda went to the kitchen to see when dinner would be ready. After leaving the kitchen staff some instructions, she then returned. Her gaze alighting on Jasmine, she remarked, “Logan has a girlfriend now, huh? You look quite young.” Nodding, Jasmine once again unleashed her vivacity. “I’m slightly younger than him.” Thereafter, Matilda inquired about her profession. Jasmine was quite courteous with her, answering her every question while keeping her emotions in check. Sophia, on the other hand, leaned against John lazily, largely because she was a touch drowsy. Now that William and Matilda were back, John didn’t need to entertain the crowd, so he wrapped his arms around her. Then, they started whispering among themselves, their topic mainly revolving around the child’s future. Although the child had yet to be born, they’d already planned out its future. Giggling, Sophia lowered her voice. “You’ll be in charge of the child’s education in the future. After all, I can’t really make a decision when I myself am poorly educated.” John caressed her face, the corners of his mouth curving into a tender arc. “Your focus should be on bossing us around. How could I allow such a trivial matter to worry you?” He’s becoming increasingly smooth. Chortling, Sophia again leaned against him. From her peripheral vision, Jasmine glimpsed the interaction between the two of them.
Throughout our interaction this entire afternoon, he hadn’t appeared at all amicable. He was mostly solemn and somber, even a touch distant. But with Sophia now, he’s wholly different. Perhaps this is the power of love. Today, he admitted that he treated Sophia badly in the past, yet it’s apparent that he cherishes her at present. Her hands tightening into fists, she turned and gazed at Logan. Maybe he’ll also change slowly, like John. When the kitchen staff was done preparing dinner, they all adjourned to the dining room. Just after they’d taken their seats, someone
else appeared in the living room. This time, it was Dylan. Standing in the living room, Dylan called out a greeting to Old Mrs. Constance, to which she hurriedly responded. Getting to his feet, John went out. Upon seeing Dylan, he was mildly surprised since he actually came over alone. “Are you all having dinner? It so happens that I haven’t eaten, so I came over for a free meal,” Dylan said. Having dinner together wasn’t a big deal, so John promptly ushered him into the dining room. Dylan looked rather weary, for he hadn’t been home for several days after having had a row with Owen a couple of days ago.
