Shortly after Logan was gone to get himself refreshed, Richard arrived. Meanwhile, Sophia shifted her gaze across
everyone else and reached for her phone. “I’m going to give Robin a call and invite them both to come over. Since
we’re all friends here, there is no reason to leave the two of them out.” John smiled in agreement but was aware of
how things could go wrong with so many people present at the same time. While the restaurant was just opposite
Logan’s clubhouse, they all left their rides right where they were parked and crossed the road straightaway.
In the meantime, Matilda decided to stay behind and directly said she wished to wait for William. Upon hearing
William’s name, Richard couldn’t help but feel a little shocked, even though he subtly tried to hide his feelings. After
a brief pause, he smiled at Matilda and volunteered to wait with her. “Oh, I’ll stay behind with you then. You’re
probably going to be bored waiting here alone.”
Sophia shot a gaze at Richard, finding him quite a chivalrous gentleman. As the rest of them made their way to the
seafood restaurant, John sat beside Sophia and ordered some snacks before wiping her fingers with some wet
wipes. “God knows how dirty your hands were after touching those cards.”
Sophia laughed it off and replied, “Oh, I almost forgot about that.”
Helpless, John opined with a smile, “Well, I hope our son doesn’t pick up all your bad habits.”
Sophia was instantly rendered speechless by John’s reply. I thought he was going to have a word with Ian and

putting down Ian in an implicit manner. For that, I must say that it’s a bad call to invite John along.
Soon, Sophia took her hands off John and stood up. “I think I’ll get outside and wash them.” Before she made for
the door, she looked back and added, “You don’t have to come along. I can handle this.” As soon as she finished her
sentence, she stepped out of the dining room and headed to the restaurant’s exit, instead of the restroom. Not long
after that, she saw William showing up from a distance, recognizing his car that was parked near the entrance of
Logan’s club.
Then, Matilda and Richard quickly came out of the club and approached William, who was standing beside his car.
From where Sophia was standing, she was unable to see William’s expression, but nonetheless, she convinced
herself to rest assured since they were all mature adults. Therefore, Sophia only hugged herself and stood in place,
observing the three of them greeting each other at the entrance of Logan’s club. Occasionally, the three of them
tended to turn around during their conversation, giving Sophia a chance to glance at their expressions. Are they
really good actors, or are they really getting along with each other well?
A few moments later, Robin and Lincoln showed up as Sophia quickly waved at the couple and beckoned to them.
At the same time, Matilda happened to see Sophia at the restaurant’s entrance, whereupon she patted William’s
shoulder. Meanwhile, William seemed to be able to catch on to what Matilda meant, nodding before both of them
headed toward the restaurant.
On the other hand, Richard was left behind them just as Sophia noticed his perplexed expression and quickly shot a
gaze at William. Oh jeez! It appears that things are likely going to turn ugly during dinner later. With all these
complicated relationships, lighting up the atmosphere is going to be super tricky.
While Sophia was contemplating deep down, Robin and Lincoln walked closer to her with their hands holding each
other. It was then that Sophia’s eyes fell upon the ring on Robin’s finger.
At the sight of that, Sophia smiled and asked, “Have you taken care of all the invitation cards?”
Robin responded with a chuckle and took a stack of invitation cards out of her handbag. “I’m going to give them out
to everyone later.”
