Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1618

Logan noticed lan spacing out, so he tapped the latter's shoulder. "Hey, what are you spacing out for? Did you hear me? Are you going?"

lan snapped out of it. "Sorry? What were you talking about?"

Logan stared at him for a few moments. "What happened? Why'd you space out?"

lan sighed. "Trying to figure out how to settle the mess online."

Logan didn't know if he was lying, but he nodded. "So as I was saying, Sophia called this morning and asked us to have dinner over at her place. She wants to treat us. You didn't come back for her kid's full- month banquet, and that's one little regret she has. Now that you and your mom are here, she wants to have a little gathering."

lan answered calmly, "We had one last night, didn't we?"

Logan clicked his tongue. "It's different. I was the host last night. Now she wants to treat you, so of course she wants you at her place." Then, he lowered his voice and added, "But I can tell her you don't want to go. Or we can just reserve a table at a hotel if you don't want to go to her place." After all, Ian would have to see Sophia's kid and a show of public affection by the Constance couple if he went to her house. That was understandably annoying for lan.

lan glanced at his mother. She was still chatting with Cindy, but she still looked slightly displeased. Thus, lan answered nonchalantly, "It's fine. I can go. I want to see her kid too."

Logan nodded. "As long as you're fine with it."

lan's lips curled into a smile. "Of course I am. It's all in the past now. Everyone moved on, and so have I."

Logan lamented, "Yeah, you have Cindy now. You've moved on in your career and relationship."

lan looked at him, but he said nothing.

Logan smiled. Oh, he's reacting differently. Before this, he would retort if Logan teased him about Cindy, but now he was tacitly admitting to it. That was how things worked. Ian started out refusing it, then accepting it silently before accepting it publicly, and finally, he would indulge in it.

lan pursed his lips and looked at Logan. "You're thinking about something rude, aren't you?"

Logan smiled and waved him down. "Nope. Just remembered something funny."

Lola was sleeping in another room. She was living fine lately, and she could sleep right away. And so, Logan was alone with lan, chatting away about their lives. Logan didn't have anyone to share his life with recently, so he kept gushing about his excitement about being a father to lan. Now that he finally had someone to talk to, he was unable to stop himself.

lan listened to him, but most of the time, he glanced at his mother. Just like Logan, Aurora wouldn't stop talking with Cindy, and she even paced back and forth halfway through, leaving lan's sight. About twenty minutes later, she hung up, put her phone in her bag, and came back into the room. Ian quickly looked away, pretending he saw nothing.

When Aurora came back to her seat, she looked calm, which was a stark contrast to how she was a moment ago.

Logan was still talking about Lola's pregnancy and how he couldn't sleep because he had to take care of her. Sure, he was complaining, but he looked happy about it. He even said he could feel the baby moving if he put his head against Lola's belly. Lola was four months pregnant, so of course he could feel the baby moving around.

Logan was gushing with delight, while Aurora looked more crestfallen by the minute.
