After Logan’s dramatic speech, Sophia felt goosebumps all over her, then she mocked him in a whisper, “What’s
wrong with you? Why the sudden speech? Are you triggered by something?”
He tousled his hair and replied, “Nah, I was simply expressing my real thoughts in front of you all. Look at that
expression! You make me feel embarrassed of myself!”
Does he even know what it is to be embarrassed? She was taken aback when he shed his lackadaisical behavior
from before. Now, he started to look like a real man.
Sophia then said, “Go on. I feel that you have a lot to tell us.”
Logan started chuckling. “I felt that I had a lot to tell you before this, but your interruption made me lose my train
of thoughts. I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, Sophia lifted her glass and said apologetically, “Alright, alright. It’s all my fault, but your sudden dramatic
speech really shocked me.”
Logan laughed jovially at her reply. On this day, he seemed to be in a great mood because the smile had never left
his lips, as if he had never been down in the dumps days ago.
Without Richard’s presence and the secret competition between John and Ian, the dinner went on smoothly. Due to
the age gap between William and the other two youngsters, he did not talk to them much. Most of the time, he
turned to chat with Matilda.
To be honest, Sophia had some understanding about William’s background. After all, she spent a year under the
same roof with him.
Before this, William was reticent. When he was with Matilda, she talked more than he did all the time. But now,
sitting beside Matilda, he clearly had more to talk about compared to her; he was even telling her about some
company matters.
Sophia had the feeling that she and Matilda were the same—they were clueless when their partners talked
business. However, William didn’t seem to care much about that.
Every married couple must have their own way of communication. Sophia thought that William and Matilda
appeared to have figured it out.
At the end of the dinner, John finally showed up. The guests were full and chatting with each other in the private
dining room. Most of the time, William was talking to Matilda and Sophia with Logan. Even though the two pairs
didn’t exchange conversations with each other, the atmosphere was comfortable. The moment John pushed the

him. “What are you implying? Of course Master William will be here.” On the other hand, Matilda had lost her
awkwardness from before and asked John what he had been up to, and why didn’t he head over with Sophia. John
grunted and took a seat beside Sophia. “There were some issues at the factory warehouse, so I went there to
inspect. Didn’t we just transfer a number of employees to that warehouse recently? I had not visited for a long
time, so I made a special trip there today.” William knew about the transfer, and the fact that those employees
were from Sophia’s hometown. Thus, he nodded. “Are they adjusting well?” John leaned back and replied, “Yeah, it
seems so.” Sophia, however, knew that John was lying; he was probably off to deal with a different issue. Since he
was lying, there must be a compelling reason for him to do so. After he took a seat and chatted with the rest for a
while, he looked at Logan. “What’s up with you today? You look pumped.” Logan was a little surprised by John’s
observation and stared back. “Do you all think that I’m extraordinarily happy today? But I am feeling normal just
like any other day.” “No, no, you’re different.” John went straight to the point. “Compared to your mood a few days
ago, there is a huge change in your condition today!”
