Next One Is a Babe

John let out an amused laugh as soon as he witnessed Sophia’s expression. “So what about me? Why don’t you tell everybody what have I done?”

Meanwhile, Sophia was sulking while she glanced tentatively at Isabelle. She then said in a lowered volume, “Why would you need me to tell you about it? All I will say is that you’re up to no good.”

However, John didn’t even bother to lower his volume when he replied, “If you’re talking about what happened last night between us, I’ll be honest and tell you that I lost control.”

Sophia let out a hiss. You son of a b*tch, watch what you say! Y-Y-You’re obviously trying to mislead people!

On the other hand, Logan moved closer to them with a cheeky expression on his face. “Did you two... Aren’t you divorced?”

Turning to look at Logan, Sophia chided him, “You should shut up.”

John gave a grunt before telling Logan nonchalantly, “While we are divorced, it isn’t that out of the ordinary for something to happen between a single man and a single woman. Besides, we know each other well.”

He’s being a f*cking shameless b*stard. Sophia was so furious that she almost wound up laughing. “You’d better watch what you say! Even if you don’t care about your reputation, I do care about mine!”

Although Isabelle wasn’t looking at them, she could hear everything they were saying, which made her heart strung up. What John said was obviously implying that he spent the last night together with Sophia. Isabelle’s impression of John was that he was stern, and he never joked about anything, nor did he ever spout nonsense, so she assumed that he was telling the truth. Despite how her hand was clutching the hem of her gown, her expression betrayed nothing.

John was smiling while facing Logan. “I will refrain from saying anything, but you can let your imagination run wild.”

What John said led Logan to cast a sneaky glance at both of them, whereas Sophia scoffed at John after staring at him for a while. “Sure, since we’re now on the subject, I would like to know why you went to my house last night?”

Sophia’s question stunned John, as he was in fact struggling to make a decision on whether he should go to her house last night. His brain was muddled by various thoughts throughout the past few days, but he eventually decided to go to Sophia’s house. However, she wasn’t in, while the doors and windows were locked, so John decided to scale the building to reach for the balcony, only to find that the door up there was unlocked, which he used to enter her room.

When John was waiting for Sophia to come home, there were a few times he considered leaving before she arrived. However, he eventually waited until she arrived despite his inner strife. Sophia came home alone, but for a second when he was standing on the second floor, John was afraid that he might witness Sophia getting out of the car alongside Ian. The fact that she came alone left John feeling as if having his prayers answered.

Meanwhile, Sophia gave him a shove after staring at him for a while. “I’m talking to you, so answer me! What were you planning to do when you went to my house last night? You’re acting weird.”
