Lola went on to say that she’d feel much better if only there were someone by her grandmother’s side then. Now, every time she thought of her grandmother, regret would assail her, and she wondered how her grandmother felt during her final moments. Was she sad? Did she hope that her family was by her side? Did she attempt to get out of bed and look for someone? However, no one could answer all those questions.
After a moment’s contemplation, Logan reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t brood over all that. Some things aren’t worth overthinking. Life is about the future, not the past.”
He understood her feelings very well. After all, the photo in his wallet included a person who was missing from his life. Actually, he occasionally wondered about her life when she was alive and whether she felt reluctant or helpless when she left. Whenever he brooded over these matters, his mood would become increasingly worse. No matter how much he racked his brains, he could never obtain a precise answer.
After they’d hugged for a while, Lola patted him on the shoulder. “Okay, I’m feeling better now.”
Logan seemed a tad disappointed. “Ah, you’re just allowing me to hug you for those few seconds?”
His improper side is showing again! Laughing, Lola thumped him. Then, the two of them continued walking. novelbin
Meanwhile, Sophia received a call from Ian in the evening. Sure enough, he had a few days off, as John said. Then, his schedule would be packed once again. Thus, he wanted to take advantage of this time to come back and meet up with everyone. Delighted at hearing his voice, Sophia first congratulated him before asking him when he was coming back, suggesting to call Logan then so that they could all gather.
Ian was in a much better state than he was previously; at least, one could tell from his voice that he was in a good mood. Then, he told her that he’d phoned Logan, but he didn’t pick up, so he was wondering whether he was busy. At this, Sophia giggled. “He’s very busy these days; busy wooing a girl.” Surprise flooded Ian. “For real? He has taken a fancy to some girl now?” Sophia grunted in affirmation before saying, “You’ve seen her before. There was once when we played poker at his place, and we were almost detained. It’s the girl who had pinned him down on the poker table.” With little effort, Ian then clearly remembered who it was. Astonished, he exclaimed, “That police officer? How’s that possible? He detested her with a passion back then!” Who can make any sense out of it? He often lambasted her before me as well, but he’s like a puppy now. Recalling his cheesy self before Lola, Sophia’s voice became imbued with anticipation. “When are you coming back? We’ll invite Miss Hunt as well, and you’ll then know how Logan behaves in front of her. It’ll definitely boggle your mind!” On the other end, Ian laughed. “I still need to wrap things up over here. I’ve got to sign a contract first, then I’ll have a few days off. I’ll give you a call then. It should be within the week.” When Sophia heard that, she murmured an assent. In the next instance, John leaned close to her and asked in a normal volume, “Where did you put my underwear, darling?” Sophia looked up and shot daggers at him without saying a single word. As though he was afraid that Ian wouldn’t hear him on the other end, John raised his voice and asked, “Where’s my underwear? Or do you want me to walk around naked?” .
