Chapter 862

Chapter 862Logan was baffled by what Ian meant, so he asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Did you not perform
well? That shouldn’t be the case because I heard from my sister that she’d make sure you secure a
good ranking.”
Nonetheless, Ian only responded with a nonchalant chuckle as he guzzled down the glass of wine. The
moment he raised his glass, his eyes seemed as if they were filled with desolation and helplessness,
but when he put it down, the look on his face went back to an indifferent expression.
Meanwhile, Sophia pretended as if she didn’t understand what was going on, only looking down at the
dish while eating it. Deep down, she thought this dinner would be a torment to someone else but soon
realized that she could no longer stand the drama. While the men idled around in their casual chat,
Sophia headed to the couch and sat there with Robin and Matilda.
At the same time, Richard cast his eyes on Matilda and took them off shortly after that, only to be
noticed by William, who happened to be staring at him. Refusing to give up in the mental game, he met
William’s gaze with a glacial glare. While William’s gaze seemed rather apathetic, he appeared as if he
was demonstrating his authority to Richard.
Unhappy, Richard started to make his move by raising his glass before William. “I’ve heard a lot about
you, Mr. Constance. Let’s have a toast!” Meanwhile, William didn’t flinch but instead raised his glass as
well and toasted Richard. Then, both men guzzled down their wine and showed each other their empty
glasses.
As the men continued to dilly-dally, Sophia eventually ran out of patience and returned to Logan’s
clubhouse with Robin and Matilda. Feeling slightly worried, Matilda went to William before leaving the
room. After she seemingly whispered in William’s ear, he looked up at her with a smile and told her notto worry. A few moments later, she approached Richard and courteously told him to enjoy himself
because she didn’t want him to feel left out. It was only then that she finally walked out of the room with
Sophia.
As soon as the door was closed, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief with a laugh. “Oh gosh! You have no
idea how terribly I was suffering back there. Look at what they’ve done to a dinner that was supposed
to be relaxing and enjoyable! I felt so awkward at a few points back there when those few gentlemen
kept interrupting each other. Ugh! Why can’t they stop fighting each other?! Maybe I really shouldn’t
have invited John along!”
Matilda soon echoed Sophia’s words and said, “Well, I shouldn’t have invited Richard to come along
either. If I had known we’d end up in this awkward situation, I would have just turned him down from the
beginning.” Upon hearing Matilda’s reply, Sophia didn’t bother comparing the two scenarios, even
though she reckoned the atmosphere was more awkward with William and Richard. They are two fully
grown middle-aged men, so how could they still behave so childishly?! That really blows my mind
away!
As soon as the ladies made it to the room at Logan’s clubhouse, Sophia tiredly collapsed onto the
couch, whereas Matilda was absorbed in Robin’s invitation card. With her eyes finally glued to the
wedding photo of Robin and Lincoln, she said, “You both genuinely make a perfect match! Look at how
sweet you are!”
novelbinRobin smiled and said, “Yeah, that’s what many people say.”
Matilda then stared at Robin for a while and complimented her. “Actually, I know you’re a good person.”
In that instant, Robin was overwhelmed by a strong surge of mixed feelings, which she couldn’t evenexplain herself. In the meantime, Sophia was lying on the couch, talking about Robin’s wedding until
she unknowingly dozed off.
