Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 852

After distributing the cards, Sophia said, "Alright, here we go. Let the game begin."

As soon as she finished her words, she felt someone walking up toward her. Then, she heard a chuckle. "It looks like you're really free." Upon hearing that voice, she paused, falling into a trance as she kept staring at her cards while blinking. Why does this voice sound so familiar? A few seconds later, she slowly turned around and sized the person up from toe to head.

"The look on your face is scaring me," lan said with a smile.

Then, Sophia put down her cards and stood up. "Why didn't you tell us ahead that you'd be coming back?"

lan passed his luggage to the waiters and told them to put it aside first, then he sat down beside Sophia and picked up the cards. At the same time, he answered, "I just want to give you guys a surprise."

This is surprising indeed. If only I had seen this coming, Sophia thought.

Then, lan gazed at the two waiters and said, "Come on. Let's continue."

As both of them also knew lan, they looked back at him and focused on the cards in their hands. Soon, it was lan's turn to show his hand. As he made his move, he asked Sophia about Logan. "Where is Logan? I haven't seen him here. Why are you here alone?"

"Oh, he is taking a nap upstairs," Sophia answered.

Surprised, lan asked, "But you're here. So, why is he still sleeping upstairs rather than coming down?"

Um. This is a long story, and it's going to take me a while to explain everything to him. Sophia didn't know where to start regarding Logan's bitter history with Lola, so she only gave a brief reply. "Well, that guy drank a little more than he could handle when we were eating just now, so he ended up getting knocked out."

"I see." lan nodded in response, putting an end to the topic.

Upon finishing the game, the two waiters, who were able to cleverly read the situation, put away the cards and left. Meanwhile, lan turned around and gazed at Sophia with a confused look as his eyes slowly moved from her face to her stomach. Noticing that, Sophia asked, "Oh, can you tell? It has only just started not long ago, so it's still not that obvious, is it?"

In fact, lan had already learned about Sophia's pregnancy from Logan. With no idea where things stood between the two of them, the unsuspecting Logan happily explained the entire situation to lan. While Sophia's pregnancy should be a good news that was worth celebrating, lan didn't seem to share the joy with everyone else.

After thinking hard for a while, lan finally figured something to say. "I bet being pregnant isn't easy."

Sophia placed her palm on her stomach. "Everything feels fine now. At least I can still move freely at the moment, but I guess the same cannot be said a few months later."

lan pursed his lips and moved his gaze toward the table. In that instant, he seemed as if he was trying hard to think of what he could talk about with Sophia, and the lady was starting to feel a little awkward due to his reaction. Therefore, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten? Perhaps I could get you a little something."

Indeed, lan hadn't eaten anything as he had been on the road after packing his stuff since early this morning. It wasn't until he arrived at Logan's club that he could finally slow down and relax. Upon hearing Sophia's kind offer, he nodded and said, "Well, I haven't taken my lunch yet because I was planning to have it with you guys, but it seems like I got here a little too late."

Then, Sophia stood up to call the waiter so that he could get something for lan, but after doing that, she turned around to look at lan again and said, "Why don't you just have something light for lunch first and save it for dinner? We can all gather and have a proper meal then. What do you think?"
