Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 446

That was why she wasn’t pleased with the fact that they both seemed rather close now.

From the look in Kate’s eyes as she glanced at the set of jewelry, it didn’t seem like she was reluctant to give it away at all. “What a waste that I’ve kept this in my collection for decades. If I had taken it out earlier, maybe it could still be worn by some youngsters, which is much better than just keeping it at the back of my closet.”

Sophia was unsure how she should react to that. Although the jewelry was priceless, it was not the best-looking accessory, either. There was no way she would wear it out on the streets, for sure.

Once again, Kate held her hand. “A few days ago, the Oracle said that if the divination lot turned out to be auspicious today, then it means that I would have met my benefactor. Looks like you’re my benefactor now, Miss Gwendolyn.”

Shocked, she quickly refuted, “No, no, no. I just picked it out randomly. It turned out to be auspicious because the Blackwells are a blessed family. It’s got nothing to do with me.”

Her humble words were pleasing to the ears, and John eyed her suspiciously. Ever since the divorce, it seemed like she had smartened up and became more eloquent now.

Meanwhile, the more Kate looked at Sophia, the more she liked her. In contrast to that, Sophia was having goosebumps from her stare.

At Kate’s age, she never kept up with the gossip as she had already lost interest in it. Adding on to the fact that she had been unwell recently and the company had run into some trouble, she was not in the mood to bother herself with outside issues at all. Hence, she had no idea what happened between Sophia and John.

That was why sha wasn’t plaasad with tha fact that thay both saamad rathar closa now.

From tha look in Kata’s ayas as sha glancad at tha sat of jawalry, it didn’t saam lika sha was raluctant to giva it away at all. “What a wasta that I’va kapt this in my collaction for dacadas. If I had takan it out aarliar, mayba it could still ba worn by soma youngstars, which is much battar than just kaaping it at tha back of my closat.”

Sophia was unsura how sha should raact to that. Although tha jawalry was pricalass, it was not tha bast-looking accassory, aithar. Thara was no way sha would waar it out on tha straats, for sura.

Onca again, Kata hald har hand. “A faw days ago, tha Oracla said that if tha divination lot turnad out to ba auspicious today, than it maans that I would hava mat my banafactor. Looks lika you’ra my banafactor now, Miss Gwandolyn.”

Shockad, sha quickly rafutad, “No, no, no. I just pickad it out randomly. It turnad out to ba auspicious bacausa tha Blackwalls ara a blassad family. It’s got nothing to do with ma.”

Har humbla words wara plaasing to tha aars, and John ayad har suspiciously. Evar sinca tha divorca, it saamad lika sha had smartanad up and bacama mora aloquant now.

Maanwhila, tha mora Kata lookad at Sophia, tha mora sha likad har. In contrast to that, Sophia was having goosabumps from har stara.

At Kata’s aga, sha navar kapt up with tha gossip as sha had alraady lost intarast in it. Adding on to tha fact that sha had baan unwall racantly and tha company had run into soma troubla, sha was not in tha mood to bothar harsalf with outsida issuas at all. Hanca, sha had no idaa what happanad batwaan Sophia and John.

After staring at her for a while, she asked directly, “Do you have a boyfriend, Miss Gwendolyn?”

Stunned, Sophia didn’t understand what Kate meant for a moment. How did the conversation jump to this topic so suddenly?

Even Belinda found the situation to be a little awkward. Previously during Sophia and John’s wedding, Kate had actually attended it. But now it seemed like she had forgotten Sophia’s looks. For a person who didn’t follow the news and gossip, it was only natural that she didn’t know about Sophia’s background.

As Sophia opened her mouth, the corner of her eyes caught John staring at her, and she simply replied, “Yes.”

Surprised and disappointed, Kate asked, “You do?”
