Occupied with his parents, she didn’t read his message, but she could now. John didn’t say anything much, just that
he would come over later to talk. Sophia wasn’t sure what they could talk about, for everything that needed to be
sorted out had been sorted out. Then, she deleted the text and looked at Logan. “Finish your lunch and go back. I’m
taking a nap.”
Logan took the utensils and dug in. “Yeah, yeah, I know.” He wasn’t an idiot. He knew John must have said
something in the text, and now Sophia wanted him to leave.
He wasn’t interested in what they were going to talk about, so he left after having his lunch. Before he did, Logan
reminded Sophia to lock the doors and windows. She grunted impatiently at him, and only then did he leave.
After his departure, Sophia texted Ian, asking him about Imelda, Logan’s mother. Then she went to turn on the TV
and became a couch potato, texting Ian while watching the show, her legs dangling in the air.
Ian replied quickly. He didn’t know much about the Jeffersons, but he told her that Imelda died in a car crash when
Logan was still a baby, so technically, Logan had no recollection of his mother.
Sophia stared at the message for a while before replying, ‘Okay.’ He says I look like his mother, but I don’t think so.

someone before. She sighed.
The front door was locked when John arrived. He tried to unlock it with his fingerprint, but nothing happened, of
course. She forgets to do everything else, but not deleting my fingerprint data?
When Sophia heard the sound, she went to take the door. “What do you need to talk about?”
John looked around for a moment. “My parents came here, didn’t they?”
“They did.” Sophia went back to the sofa. “They say they’re here to apologize, but your mom looked like she was
going to kill me instead.”
John couldn’t defend his mother. Matilda was a stubborn mule who wouldn’t admit she was wrong even if she did
apologize, so despite William saying it was for an apology, he could imagine how she behaved during the process.
A moment of silence later, he went to sit before Sophia. “I promised you could ask for anything if you helped me
settle the Infinity Group. That promise is still valid, so name your request. I’ll do it if it’s within my ability.”
Sophia looked at him quietly. So this is why he’s here.
John thought she didn’t understand what he was saying, so he repeated, “You can ask for anything you want.
Money, assets, properties, you name it.”
Sophia smiled and stared down at the sofa, caressing the pillow beside her reflexively. “Nope. I was going to ask for
money, but then I realized you gave me enough to live my life out comfortably when we got divorced. If I asked for
more, there’s no way I would be able to spend all of it, and they’d turn into stacks of useless paper, so I don’t want
money.”
