Sophia walked over to Robin. “What’s wrong? Are you worn out because you had to handle everything alone at the
shop today? If so, take the day off tomorrow and rest.”
Robin shook her head. “No, I’m fine.” After saying that, she let out a sigh. “You’re done cooking? I wanted to go in
and help you, but there was no room for me.”
At this, Sophia cracked up. “Those two fellas aren’t so diligent usually, so just let them handle it when they’re willing
to do so.”
Glancing at the kitchen over her shoulder, Robin then noted, “I noticed that John is really nice to you.”
Sophia’s hand instinctively flew to her stomach. “Really? He was different in the past.”
Robin chuckled. “Is he also nice to your friends?”
This was a question Sophia had never considered since she had few friends in the first place. I’ve never noticed him
giving special treatment to those associated with me for my sake. Still, after ruminating about it, she answered,
“Probably. Anyway, he’s quite nice to everyone.”
Robin smiled. “I see.”
At this time, Logan hollered that the food was ready. Having bustled around for so long, Sophia had long since been
feeling ravenous, so she tugged at Robin. “Let’s go. We’ll talk while we eat.”
There was still some left of the beer Logan brought the previous time he came, so he took them out. “Ah, it’s utter
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbliss to have steamboat and beer together! Come, come! Everyone should drink some since we’re all in high spirits
today, and it’s rare that we’re all gathered together!” He then handed Sophia a bottle of beer.
Casting a look at it, Sophia shook her head. “I don’t feel so well, so I’ll pass.”
Lifting a hand, John snatched the beer away. “I second that. Don’t put yourself through the wringer when you’re
feeling better now.”
After mulling it over, Logan nodded. “True enough. You shouldn’t drink any, Sophia.” As he said that, he took
another bottle and gazed at Robin. “Are you drinking?”
Stretching out a hand, Robin snagged it from him. “Of course. After all, it’s rare that we’re all here today, and the
atmosphere is so vibrant.”
Without thinking too much about it, Sophia leaned toward her. “Pace yourself. Don’t drink too much, else you’ll be
suffering tomorrow.”
Robin pursed her lips. “Alright, got it.”
With Logan there, the atmosphere would never grow cold. In the next instance, he brought up Sally’s incident. The
person Sally assaulted with a baseball bat back then was her ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend. Bumping into each
other, the two of them started a battle of wills before slamming into each other. This actually wasn’t a huge deal,
but when Sally grabbed a weapon and bashed her, it then escalated to intentional assault.
Sally was rather simple-minded, but Leah later offered compensation in hopes of settling the matter out of court
with the injured girl. Though she was quite generous, the girl refused. To begin with, she had a grudge against Sally,
and she wasn’t strapped for cash, so she wanted Sally to have a criminal record to alleviate the resentment within
her. Leah sought the girl out several times while she was recuperating in the hospital, but the girl didn’t want to see
her. The final time Leah went, she outright lodged a police report. Therefore, from the look of things now, this
matter would definitely be brought to court.
Logan was ecstatic at the turn of events. “I can’t wait to know the final verdict! Sally Morgan has always had her
nose stuck in the air, so it’ll be good if she spends a few months in prison!”
Sophia didn’t hear a single word, eating happily by herself. Since her appetite had been bad lately, she hadn’t been
eating much, so now that she had her favorite food before her, she was gorging herself without any restraint.
Beside her, John took food for her, yet he also replied to Logan, saying, “If Sally manipulates things under the table,
she can still mitigate her culpability.”
Logan considered it for a moment. “Then, I’ll manipulate things under the table as well. Anyone can do that.”
