Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 48

John was clearly taken aback. Staring at Sophia, he didn’t reply immediately.

On the other hand, Sophia chuckled and said in a low voice, “You won’t touch a woman you have no feelings for. Then, when you did it with me before…”

Wiggling her brows, she smiled.

He studied her for a bit, then laughed mockingly. Leaning back against his seat, he crossed his legs, ankle over knee. “You’re different.”

“Oh?” Her tone was light. “How am I different?”

He placed one hand on his thigh; he was tapping his finger subconsciously. “I’ve gotten used to your body, so I don’t find it disgusting.”

In other words, he’s saying it doesn’t matter whether or not he feels anything for me.

Thus, she chuckled audibly and leaned forward, placing one elbow against the table and propping her chin on it. Then, she said with a sly look in her eyes, “Then, what are you going to do in the future? You can’t just… continue being comfortable with my body, can you?”

Some words, when spoken, coupled with an ambiguous tone, really gave off the vibe of a pretentious flirt. Even she felt so. Still, it was a nice feeling to have.

Right now, everything she said and did was something she would never have dared to do previously. There were many rules in the Constance Family, especially when it came to her—there were even more rules specifically for her. Back then, she lived on tiptoes every single day for fear of making a mistake and embarrassing them. Now, there was no need for fear anymore—there was nobody who could shackle her down anymore.

The look in his eyes became colder. “You don’t need to worry about that. There will always be somebody else in the future.”

She stared him in the eyes for a long while before nodding in agreement. “That’s right; you’ll always have somebody else.” Mulling over something, she added, “That’s good; that’s good.”

Just then, the waiter brought their food and laid it out on the table, one by one.

To be honest, Sophia wasn’t hungry nor did she have much of an appetite.

However, John had added a nutritious soup to their order just now, and he pushed the soup toward her.

She lowered her gaze. “Thanks.”

In response, he made a non-committal grunt. “It’s nothing.”

Frankly speaking, his attitude toward her right now was way better than how he used to treat her when they were still married. Back then, he completely neglected and ignored her. At least he was more courteous now.

Looking at the man who was sneakily snapping pictures of them, she noticed that the person secretly put his phone down while he was eating. Moreover, the camera was pointing directly in their direction. Thus, she wasn’t sure whether he was taking pictures, or if he was recording them.
