The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 395

There wasn't anything important happening, but after thinking through things for a while, he texted Logan.

At the same time, he was playing poker in his clubhouse with three of the waiters. Logan wondered if they were letting him win on purpose or if they were truly stupid. Either way, winning too easily doused his motivation. He would always get whatever card he wanted, so the game was pointless.

When Logan received the text, he waved the waiters away, much to their gratitude. They quickly left the room, rejoicing in this mercy. Then, Logan read the text and sent a voice message. 'Yeah, I'm going with my old man. Are you going too?' Logan was an impatient man, and he called John after sending the message. This guy never texted me first. This is a surprise.

It didn't take long for John to pick it up.

Logan leaned back against the chair. "Didn't expect you to ask me that. What? You want to be my partner for the banquet? Sorry, but we're both guys. It's going to disgust everyone, and I have a partner already, so you have to look for someone else."

John was still thinking about how he should ask who his partner was when Logan told him about it, so he took the chance. "You have a partner? Who is it?"

Logan snorted. "I hope you won't get angry about this."

That was just saying his partner was Sophia. So, John sneered, "Sophia, huh? Did she agree to it?"

Logan chuckled. "Of course she did. She helps me out every time. You guys can't imagine how close we are."

"Is that so?" John replied calmly.

Oblivious to the annoyance brewing within John, Logan continued, "We're close friends. Sophia's my cup of tea, and she sees me as a friend. Remember your uncle's birthday celebration? She gave my tea utensil to him. We're as tight as a family can be."

John froze. "So the tea utensil was yours."

"Obviously. You can only get good stuff like that from me." Logan sounded proud. "You saw it too, right? It's good stuff. She took it the moment I offered it. No hesitation at all. That's how close we are."

He doesn't feel awkward bragging about how friendly he is with my ex-wife. John chuckled silently. Even though Logan was closer to Sophia than he was with lan, that also eliminated him as competition. He was the type who would try to be friends with everyone he met, which ironically pushed everyone away from him.

John didn't want to talk about this further, so he asked Logan when would he go to the banquet. After all, he heard the Blackwells were going to hold an all-day event, and there would even be a prize-drawing session at night.

Logan hadn't thought of that, but now that John was asking, he said, "Probably earlier than expected. Being tardy would be rude."

He cares about manners? What a surprise. John grunted. "I see. Okay. That's that, then."

Logan stopped him before he could hang up. "Why'd you text me? I thought you wanted to go with me."
