Sophia’s belly was really obvious now, and she had gained a little weight, making her look completely different from
her skinny appearance from before.
Ian began to pace toward her, but before he could reach her, John took a step forward and placed his arm around
her. “You’re finally here. It’s a little late.”
Shifting his gaze to him, Ian smiled. “I was busy and got held up. But luckily, I still made it in time.” Turning to
Sophia, he pointed out, “You’ve gained weight.”
Placing a hand on her cheek, Sophia said sheepishly, “I’m eating a lot recently because I have a good appetite.”
Ian nodded. “That’s good. You look just nice the way you are now.”

of the building. “Ian, you haven’t met her, have you? She’s my girlfriend, Lola.”
Seeing how anxiously impatient he was made Ian laugh. “I left twice, and both times after I returned, there was a
massive change with each of you.”
The first time he returned, Sophia became John’s woman and was even pregnant. The second time he was back,
Logan had found himself a girlfriend. Every time, someone would end their single status; he was the only one who
remained single until now.
Unwittingly, his gaze drifted and fell on Sophia again.
Although he didn’t know what they were speaking about, she was glaring at John, and her jaw was tight. But rather
than calling it an angry expression, the look on her face was more coquettish.
She’s not mad at John at all, he observed. She’s just throwing a small tantrum at him playfully.
Then, he quickly shifted his eyes and greeted Lola.
“I’ve met you before in Logan’s clubhouse. You pinned him down in just one move.” Lola couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s right. I remember you as well. And um, let’s try to forget about that because it wasn’t so pleasant.” Raising
an eyebrow, Ian teased, “From that, I can kinda imagine what Logan’s position will be when he’s with you from
now.” After chatting a little more, they all went into the house. In the dining hall, the food was already prepared,
and they sat down after washing their hands. All sorts of delicacies were on the dining table, and a multi-layered
cake was placed next to it. The servants went ahead and placed a few boxes of fireworks outside the door, and

then they all started eating inside. Lola could tell that the Jeffersons didn’t make a huge deal out of a birthday party,
but only took it as another opportunity for a family dinner. At the beginning of the meal, everyone raised their
glasses and wished Lynett a happy birthday.
She thanked everyone and said, “Alright, I hope everyone’s happy as well!” John took the opportunity to slip his
hand under the table and squeezed Sophia’s hand. She tried to jerk his hand away, but to no avail. Turning to glare
at him with pursed lips and a long face, she saw him looking at herself with a gentle expression and a hint of smile.
With that face, Sophia was unable to keep her own face stern, and she finally looked away. In the end, she couldn’t
hold back anymore and a grin appeared on the edge of her lips. All these were witnessed by Ian who was seated
opposite them. You can tell from the look in a person’s eyes if she loves him or not. Shifting his gaze, he sighed, and
smirked a few seconds later. During dinner, Lorraine asked him about him signing a contract. She told him that a
few talent agencies had come asking for him, and he should decide for himself which one to sign up with.
