Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 465

Sophia nodded. “They passed away in an accident.”

Her answer elicited a stare from Old Mrs. Constance, for her husband told her before that Sophia’s parents dumped her. However, she wasn’t certain why Sophia’s parents did such a thing.

Sophia smiled. “I’m fine. It’s good to be alone as I don’t have to provide for my family. It’s easier this way.”

Feeling sorry for her, Old Mrs. Blackwell tightened her grip on Sophia’s hands. Since it was an unhappy topic, Old Mrs. Constance hurriedly talked about something else. As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere slowly became eased.

When lunch was ready, Old Mrs. Constance, who was supported by a servant, said, “Let’s continue our chat over the meal.”

Sophia helped Old Mrs. Blackwell up. Before they could even take a step forward, John returned as he walked over and said, “Grandma, I left a document last night at—”

Then, he froze on the spot when he saw Sophia, his expression turning from serious to cold.

Sophia looked away. What the heck? Why do I always bump into him when I don’t want to see him?

John retracted his gaze as well. “Oh, there’s a guest in our house.”

“Ah.” Old Mrs. Constance explained, “Madam Blackwell is here to have lunch with Sophia.”

John nodded. “I left a document at home last night. Have you seen it?”

To that, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Oh, I saw it and placed it in your study.”

John grunted and went upstairs. A while later, he came down with a document.

Then, Old Mrs. Constance suggested, “Lunch is ready. Why don’t you have lunch with us?”

“Sorry. I’m busy today. Bye.”

John also bid farewell to Old Mrs. Blackwell before leaving. Apart from the first glance when he came across Sophia, he never looked at her again.

Until John was out of sight, Sophia finally relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps it’s better this way, she thought.

Old Mrs. Constance seemed to be disappointed as she told Sophia and Old Mrs. Blackwell to enter the dining hall.

Despite Sophia’s best effort to avoid seeing John, she still came face to face with him. Fortunately, it was only a brief encounter, and they didn’t even talk to each other.
