After exchanging glances, Sophia and Robin walked over to the table. None of them showed a fear of
losing money as they sat down in an upright posture.
While Logan was sitting idly just a few moments ago, he was suddenly full of vitality as he pushed all
the cards into the auto card dispenser. “Come, I’ll be distributing the poker chips. Don’t worry. I’m not
looking to win your money over. All I wanted is the fun of it. I’ll even treat you to a lavish meal later on!”
Sophia tried to suppress a laughter as she figured that Logan should have been pitted against Mrs.
Constance, as the latter was also addicted to the game.
There were times when Mrs. Constance would gather her friends in the house to have a go at the
game, but Old Mrs. Constance didn’t like gambling, so she could only either play it once in a while, or
find an excuse to leave the house so that she could meet up with her friends outside to play.
In fact, Sophia would bet all her money that it would be a fun show to watch if Logan and Mrs.
Constance ever got to play together in a game.
The four of them began the game after the chips were distributed. Sophia and Robin were total rookies
who didn’t know much about the game. Not only did they not realize when they won the game, they
would even actively provide their opponents with a winning card. Meanwhile, Ian seemed to be able to
hold himself in the game, which contributed to his multiple wins.
Logan was the biggest winner of them all, but he had a hard time sitting still throughout the game, and
would go through multiple postures in one round, looking like a fidgety monkey. As he was sitting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacross from Sophia and next to Robin, he conversed more with Robin.
Despite casting a glance at Sophia, he was speaking to Robin. “Don’t you feel like a third wheel
whenever you’re with those two?”
There was a pause in Sophia’s motion while Ian lifted his head to look at Logan, but Logan didn’t seem
to care as he shifted his pose in his chair with a giggle. “I have to commend his taste to have found
himself such a beautiful girl.”
Ian replied after a momentary pause, “Quit spouting nonsense and focus on the game.”
A snort escaped Logan as he assumed that Ian was feeling embarrassed, whereas Sophia furrowed
her brows as she said, “You should just tell my friend if you fancy her. That pick up line of yours was
just vulgar.”
Logan hissed in amusement. “You sure don’t like being taken advantage of, huh?” His comment only
garnered him a noncommittal grunt from Sophia, which made him pay more attention to her, as it had
been a while since he last saw such a hot-tempered girl.
The game continued on until night fell. Both Robin and Sophia had not only lost all their chips, they
even owed Logan quite an amount of those, which turned out to be a huge source of satisfaction for
Logan.
The four of them left for dinner after the game was over, but they didn’t dine in the clubhouse. There
was a restaurant just opposite the clubhouse, to which Logan pointed toward while standing in the hall
of the clubhouse. “I won a lot of money today, so I will be buying you all a meal!”
Sophia and Robin couldn’t help but laugh at his antics, as they only ever used chips. No money was
involved throughout the game, yet Logan was so elated nonetheless by his wins. A car wasn’t needed,
as they only had to cross the road to arrive at the restaurant.
There was a row of parking lots in front of the restaurant. Upon nearing the rows of cars there, Sophia
stopped in her tracks to check out the license plate of one of the cars. While she knew next to nothing
about automobiles, she knew for a fact that license plate numbers were unique, and that a copy of it
couldn’t exist.
Ian approached her while asking, “Is there something wrong with the car?”
“Nope, the car’s fine.” Sophia shook her head. It’s the owner of the car that’s the problem.
“Come on, let’s go eat!” Logan was crying out to them while standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
He was still in his pajamas and slippers, completely oblivious to the fact that his attire was
inappropriate.
Both Sophia and Ian walked over to him to follow him into the hall. Logan seemed to be a regular, as all
of the waiters knew him. Upon setting sight on him, the waiters greeted him. “Young Master Jefferson,
please follow our lead.”
