John walked over and asked, “Have you ordered anything?”
Seeing him, Matilda hurriedly replied, “We have only ordered a few dishes. If there’s anything you like, we can order more.”
John waved his hand. “That’s alright. We can order more later if it’s really not enough.” He then took a seat beside William and turned to Matilda. “How are you doing
recently? I heard that you went to the hospital.”
With an embarrassed expression, Matilda replied, “Yes. I had to apologize, since it was my own fault.” Upon finishing her words, she took a look at William, who appeared
serious but didn’t seem to have anything to say.
John said to his father, “You must be exhausted, since it’s been a long day.”
William pinched his glabella. “Yes, I’m a little tired.”
John was just trying to ease up the atmosphere. Since his parents were seated on either side of the table without talking to each other, the awkwardness in the air was so thick
that it could be cut through with a knife. It was indeed a sorrowful fact that a lovey-dovey couple had turned into familiar strangers.
On the other side, after Sophia saw the shy man off, she closed the shop. Standing in the doorway, Robin said with a smile, “You are really attractive to young men.”
Sophia hissed. “Stop saying that. I felt like I was committing a crime when he said he loved me.”

Robin guffawed. “I think he’s alright. He’s handsome, and he comes from a middle-class family.”
Giggling, Sophia uttered, “If I’m looking for a new boyfriend, I expect that man to be more powerful than John.”
Her words startled Robin. “Why? Comparison isn’t necessary when it comes to love.”
Sophia carried her backpack. “You’re right. I shouldn’t compare a potential boyfriend to John, but I’m a vain woman, so I must find a more powerful man.” After that, she
waved her hand at Robin. “Bye. Be careful on the road.”
Standing outside the entrance, Robin watched her get into a taxi and leave. Pursing her lips, she turned to take a look at the shop signboard and let out a sigh.
When Sophia reached her home, she saw Logan sitting in her yard. He must have been there for some time. He seems bored from the way he’s sitting. Walking over, Sophia
asked, “Why have you come to my house without calling me first?”
Logan locked his eyes with her. “When have you and Ian gotten together? Weren’t you with John?”
The question gave Sophia a headache. “Let’s get in before we talk.”
Sophia opened the door. Logan rose slowly and followed her into the house as he mumbled, “Didn’t you and John still have feelings for each other? Why did Ian say you’re his
girlfriend? Have you guys gotten together behind my back?”
Sophia took out a bottle of water from the fridge and passed it to him. “It’s not what you think. Ian and I are not together. He just needs me to be his girlfriend in name to fend
off unnecessary trouble.”
Logan didn’t seem to trust her. “I had been thinking about it for a long time last night. Sophia, there must be something going on between you and Ian.”
What could be going on between Ian and me? Sophia was rendered speechless. She then took a seat beside him and said, “My relationship with Ian isn’t as complicated as
you think. Don’t worry. We’re still friends. This fact won’t change.”
However, Logan was still displeased. “I feel that there are many things you guys are up to behind my back. You have your own secrets that are kept from me, and I really
don’t like this.”
Logan looked like a kid whose toy had been taken away, or a young girl whose bestie found a new friend. He looks so upset.
Sophia burst into laughter. “You look so adorable like this, unlike the Young Master Jefferson in the past.”
