Lola was not interested in Logan at all, so she turned her gaze away.

After that, she found herself a place and sat down while massaging her injured shoulder in silence.

Only after stealing a few glances at Lola did Logan say, “What I told you is true. I really have the evidence. If you’re

willing to listen to me, we can work together. Look at it this way. You want to fight crimes, and I wish to get rid of

someone in there. So, our goals are aligned at some point.”

He slowed down in his speech. “Plus, this is a win-win situation for us. Did you not feel regretful that you didn’t

manage to expose my hideout? I’m now giving you a chance, after your career change, to expose a hideout

yourself. This den is even bolder than mine. When the time arrives, I’ll show you their financial statements. Then,

you’ll finally know how large their business volume is.”

Learning about the possibility, she was momentarily silent.

Unfettered, Logan continued rambling, “Last time when I was here, I saw a colleague of yours around. He was quite

mean to you, and I overheard everything he said. I think he was right. Look at you, it was good that you quit. After

all, you’ve never had any significant achievements in the past.

 

Right? Part of the reason people mock you is because of your lack of accomplishments.” Suddenly, Lola turned

around to glare at him with a threatening gleam in her eyes. Logan’s mouth was agape, and he finally shut up after

his long speech. At noon, John went home on time. He even got changed, and it was obvious that he freshened up

because he looked clean. As for Sophia, she was still scrolling her phone upstairs. After greeting Matilda downstairs,

John went up to his room. Because he was tiptoeing around, Sophia, who was buried in her phone on the bed, didn’t

notice the sound of him opening the door. He left the door slightly ajar and peeked at her through the opening.

From his angle, Sophia’s bulging belly looked very obvious. She tied her hair into a simple ponytail and was dressed

in a monotone casual outfit, looking rather motherly and gentle. Instead of walking in, John crossed his arms and

stood at the door, admiring his wife. She must have come across something amusing on the phone. Sophia

furrowed her brows, relaxed them, and started grinning. His lips curled up into a grin as he thought to himself, This

young woman is getting more interesting by the day. After a few minutes of waiting at the door, John realized that

Sophia was still immersed in her phone. Therefore, he had no choice but to push the door open and enter the

room. Her reflexes were relatively slow. When she turned around and noticed John coming in, she quickly got out of

bed and went up to him, giving him a soft embrace without a word. With his wife in his embrace, he chuckled

silently, and along with his chuckle, Sophia could feel minor vibrations across his chest.

He said, “This is the first time you are acting this clingy.” Indeed, it was a first. Before their divorce, Sophia was very

observant—she knew that John disliked her, and therefore, she never clung to him. After the divorce, she probably

held grudges toward him, so she became cooler and treated him with no emotions. Technically, this was the first

time she flirted with John. He hugged her and gently rocked her body. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Looking up with teary

eyes, she said, “You didn’t pick up your phone or come home last night. Do you know how terrified I was?” John

cupped her face in his palms and kissed her. “I had some matters to deal with last night, and I set my phone on

mute. I didn’t hear the notifications.” Then, he pinched her face. “It was late at night. I was tired and worried that

I’d wake you up if I came home, so I decided to sleep at the office. Why are you worried about me? No one could

harm your husband.” Sophia stared at him for a long time before muttering, “Yeah, if only you were as invincible as

you claimed.”
