Sophia chuckled and stared at Logan. “See? I’m right.”
Then, Logan puckered his lips and gave up. “Alright. Maybe it’s true that I’m happier compared to a few days ago.
You guys must be right.”
After that, he gave it some thought and realized that he seemed to be feeling much more relaxed and calm
compared to a few days ago. John spun around and fired another question. “Is it because Miss Hunt has been nice
to you?”
Upon hearing that, Sophia immediately exploded in laughter and looked at John. “Why did you suddenly pop such
an important question out of nowhere?”
John nodded with a smile. “By the look of it, my guess is correct.”
Beside them, Logan looked a bit flustered and didn’t answer John. Sophia curled her lips into a smile and changed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe topic of conversation, asking John if he had dinner and if he wanted to order some food here.
John didn’t have much of an appetite, and considering that everyone else was done with dinner, he replied, “That’s
fine. We’ll see how it goes after we get home. I don’t really have an appetite now.”
Not long ago, he visited the warehouse and carried out some gruesome acts that led to his loss of appetite at the
sight of food. Sophia didn’t press on, and the group chatted for a while until it was time to part ways.
However, Logan was still in high spirits and even called for a round of poker. Sophia noticed that John looked tired,
so she turned Logan down, promising him that she’d return when she was free. To that, Logan nodded
understandingly, but he still didn’t give up. “Okay then. I will find someone else to play with me.” He was obviously
still riding the high. The words from Lola Hunt’s mouth are surprisingly influential.
With that, Sophia left with John, while William drove Matilda back. When they were saying goodbyes at the
entrance, Sophia hinted at Matilda with a look in her eyes. She was sure that Matilda would get it.
Matilda stared back at Sophia and beamed; of course she knew.
Then, the two women waited until William and John had wrapped up their short conversation, after which Sophia
followed John into his car and cautiously stretched. It was still early, but she was extremely sleepy.
On their way home, she drifted into sleep in the passenger seat. In the middle of their journey, John turned around
and looked at her with resignation on his face as his eyes darkened.
When they arrived, Sophia was brought up to the room in John’s arms. The moment she was put into bed, she
rolled around and almost fell asleep again. However, her mind was still on another issue. Thus, she checked with
John by asking, “Has Master William arrived?”
John smiled at her. “We’ve just arrived home ourselves. How is it possible for him to arrive at the same time if he is
sending Matilda home? Stop thinking and go to sleep.”

Sophia then mumbled something unintelligible and fell asleep.
She had a good night’s sleep and woke up early the next morning, mainly because John was up early too.
It was the day of Dexter’s cremation. John and William would have to be present as the representatives from the
Constance Family. Even so, Sophia was still fixated on the lingering question and wanted John to check if William
was home for the night. Feeling resigned, John caressed her hair. “Okay, okay. Don’t be anxious about it. I’ll go take
a look now.”
Sophia’s guess was proven right—William did not come home last night. Therefore, John made a call and informed
his dad that Dexter’s cremation was in the morning, which meant that they had to leave early for the event. William
replied that he had packed everything and was ready to go. The two then agreed to meet at the hospital.
Sophia clearly overheard William’s response through the phone and wanted so badly to ask if Matilda had woken up
as well. However, her eagerness was stalled by the realization of the inappropriateness to joke around William, who
was older than her. She could joke with Matilda without any worries, but she could not do the same with William.
