Cindy turned to see Ian smiling. To be honest, he looked handsome when he smiled, but he was too uptight of a
person. Despite the gentle front he put up during shows, he didn’t normally smile while off-camera, seemingly
disinterested about life in general.
Meanwhile, John had read the latest gossip online. With a snigger, he mused, So this is how he plans to settle things.
I suppose it’s fine as long as the public’s attention is directed away from us. John went through a lot of the
comments, finally feeling more at ease upon making sure that nobody made mention of Logan and Sophia
anymore.
Putting his phone away, John entered the living room to see Sophia leaning against the sofa, while the baby was
squirming about in the cradle beside it. In the meantime, Sophia was munching on some fruits while watching over
the baby. Soon to be a month old, the baby’s appearance was changing rapidly. While looking all wrinkled and
flushed when he was newly born, he was now a chubby baby with round eyes and black hair.

into his mouth. “Why did you sneak away just now?”
John couldn’t help but laugh. “What do you mean by sneaking away? I didn’t ‘sneak away’.”
Reaching for his pockets, Sophia retrieved his phone to check on his call logs, messages, and social media before
chuckling. “Who were you texting just now?”
John gave her face a pinch with his free hand. “What are you even thinking about? I wasn’t texting anybody. I was
just checking on the latest gossip.”
Arching her brow, Sophia asked, “So what did you find?”
Petting the baby lightly, John replied, “I was reading about Ian’s gossip. It turns out that his assistant is now his
girlfriend.”
Sophia was taken aback by the news. “Really? So he has finally found himself a girlfriend.”
Looking at her out of the corner of his eyes, John tutted. “I’m kind of baffled by your simple-mindedness. Anybody
could see that it’s fake.”
Sophia frowned while pondering on the situation.
“Is it a distraction to prevent people from digging any further? I don’t think they need to go that far though.” John
gave the baby a kiss before replying, “I don’t care what his reasons are as long as he will not implicate us.” Seeing
that they were all grown-ups now, John believed that people should solve their own problems rather than allowing
other people to step in in their stead. On the other hand, Sophia pursed her lips while reading through the articles
using John’s phone. Ian’s relationship was currently the trending topic, with almost every single article detailing his
circumstances. Sophia came to understand what had transpired upon reading through the article, after which she
chuckled. “The entertainment industry sure is interesting.” Slightly surprised, John turned to look at Sophia in
disbelief. “Why would you even think that?” For all he cared, the entertainment industry was suffocating. Fans were
irrational in their almost blind support of the celebrities, which further complicated the already murky waters of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmindustry, so John didn’t see the appeal in it at all. Sophia was still reading the article when she commented, “Look,
Ian’s assistant seems like a nice person. Logan mentioned about her some time ago.” Grunting, John remembered
that Logan did tell him about the woman. Logan even surmised that their relationship might eventually grow into a
romantic one.
However, John didn’t care if they might fall in love, as all his attention was on his wife and child. Meanwhile, the
baby was making nonsensical noises in John’s arms, while his large eyes were staring at him intently. John was still a
bit frustrated at the thought of Ian, but all of his anger dissipated as soon as he saw his son. After a few moments,
he changed the topic. “I already arranged for a feast to celebrate our son finally reaching a month old. I would
prefer to keep it among the family instead of making it a grand event, as it’s pointless.” Upon hearing that, Sophia
nodded. “Sure. I don’t want strangers intruding on a private occasion as well. It’s a family thing, so don’t turn this
into another company event.”
