Startled, Logan wore a frown while Jasmine discarded the torn check. “I didn’t date you because of your money. You can rest assured that we will have nothing to do with each other from now on.”
However, Logan didn’t seem to feel guilty about it. Seeing that she discarded his check, he realized that she didn’t want it, but that was all he had in mind. Now that he already did all he could to compensate her for her loss, the fact that she refused to take the check no longer concerned him. Therefore, he turned to get into his car without loitering any longer after giving a curt response.
Jasmine was rendered speechless as she stood on her spot, watching Logan’s car as it disappeared into the distance. Just a few moments ago, she was hoping to incite a crushing guilt within him during the last moments of their relationship, but her plan seemed to have failed. It was a miscalculation on her part.
Meanwhile, Logan sped back to the Constance Residence, only to see Sophia strolling with Lola when he got out of the car. They were talking about something before they both started to laugh. Logan rarely saw Lola laugh like that, and it made her look a little childish. Looking less serious, she seemed to have come alive. With her stern personality, Logan figured she should smile more to balance it out.
Instead of approaching them immediately, Logan leaned against the door of his car before lighting a cigarette that he took out from his cigarette case, puffing on it slowly while observing Lola with narrowed eyes. To be honest, she was a plain woman compared to Sophia. While the latter looked cute, had an easygoing personality, as well as a beautiful smile, Lola was none of the above, so Logan wondered why he would fall for a woman like her.
It wasn’t until he finished half of his cigarette that both women saw him. With a smile on her face, Sophia greeted him while waving her hand, whereas Logan crushed the remainder of his cigarette under his shoe before walking toward them at a languid pace.
Only ever looking at Sophia, he commented, “You’re finally awake.” Sophia giggled before informing him, “John gave me a call and told me he would need some more time to settle his affairs, but he will come over as soon as he is finished.” Nodding, Logan said, “It’s alright. We’re not in a hurry.” He smiled after saying so. “It has been a while since I last got to spend time alone with you. Your man is wary of my presence, so I have to watch out whenever I want to talk to you, which can be annoying.” Sophia chuckled before she pacified, saying, “He’s only stern on the outside, so that’s just a front that he puts up. I’m pretty sure you can ignore him.” Arching his brow, Logan agreed to her, but in a gentle manner that he never showed anybody else. Meanwhile, Lola had been pursing her lips while putting on a faint smile. Throughout their conversation, Logan had been focusing his attention on Sophia’s pregnancy without even initiating a single dialog with Lola. Even when Sophia tried to direct his attention to Lola, Logan didn’t respond to any of those cues, whereas Lola could only smile awkwardly. It didn’t take Sophia a lot of time to notice that something was off between the two, and that both parties were upset about whatever that went wrong. Stealing a glance at both of them, Sophia figured that it might be Logan who was feeling angry. Overall, he seemed to be holding onto some sort of grudge, which was uncharacteristic of him. He had always been the type to confront people head-on instead of avoiding the issue, say less of acting weird while at it. Some time later, John came to join them.
