Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 134

Sophia had breakfast late, so she wasn’t at all hungry. She continued lying on the yoga mat and went into various meditation positions.

Meanwhile, John sat on the sofa, and his cell phone rang in no time. He’d initially thought that it was the delivery he ordered, but when he picked it up and glanced at it, it turned out to be a call from Mrs. Constance. He stole a peek at Sophia, but she seemed to have dozed off.

After pondering for a moment, he then answered the call. “John, I’m sure you’re on your lunch break now, yes?” Mrs. Constance’s voice was placid.

John murmured his agreement. “Why, has anything happened at home?”

Mrs. Constance paused for a moment before saying, “No, it’s just that Belle is here to visit me.” John remembered that Isabelle had mentioned going over to visit Mrs. Constance on the phone last night, so he murmured an acknowledgement.

Mrs. Constance then continued, “If you’re free this noon, come back and have lunch. I cooked quite a few dishes, and most of them are your favorites.”


Without even looking at the time, John replied, “Never mind, it’s too troublesome.”

Mrs. Constance sighed. “What’s so troublesome? You can just go back to the office later. No one will say anything.”

Still, John declined. Before he could speak further, he then heard Isabelle’s voice from the other end. She seemed to be helping Mrs. Constance, for she smilingly asked, “Mrs. Constance, which plate should I use for this dish?”

Mrs. Constance rumbled a response to her before saying to John, “Okay, fine. If you’re not coming back at noon, come back at night.” Sighing, John acquiesced. Then, he hung up the phone.

Sophia remained in the same position, appearing as though she’d truly dozed off.

After waiting for a while longer, the delivery came. John went out and took the food in, his hands laden with bags since he ordered a feast. He headed to the dining room.

As soon as he walked past her, Sophia’s eyes sprang open. Damn it, it smells too good! It’s far more tempting than his voice when he was on the phone earlier. Nonetheless, she didn’t move a muscle.

After John had set everything out, he then stood by the entrance of the dining room and gazed at Sophia who was lying down a near distance away. “If you’re not asleep, come and eat with me.” His voice was very soft.

Sophia turned it over in her mind. In the next instance, she sat up. “You’re so inconsiderate. You woke me up by speaking so loudly on the phone.” As she said that, she walked over to the dining room. He didn’t just order two servings. This is even enough for three people, and he has even laid out the tableware. She then took a seat at the table. “You shouldn’t have ordered so much. It’ll be a waste if you can’t finish it.”

John took his seat across her. “I counted you in.” Sophia pursed her lips and ceased making excuses.
