Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 480

Sophia’s initial reaction was to turn down the invitation. Shouldn’t Old Mrs. Constance’s own family members accompany her on trips like the monastery visit? As an ex-granddaughter-in-law, Sophia felt uncomfortable at the idea of going out with Old Mrs. Constance.

Old Mrs. Constance sighed and explained that she saw Sophia receiving a very positive outcome from a past card reading at the Blackwell Residence, a proof that Sophia had better luck. Therefore, she wanted Sophia to tag along to share some of the luck.

Sophia chuckled. “What good luck? Look at me in the past. Did I look like a lucky woman?”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Well, your luck must have turned around. Your stars are aligned. Don’t you know that the Blackwells’ stagnant business flourished after you received your reading? It’s all thanks to you.”

Old Mrs. Constance was a professional in terms of bluffing. Scratching her head awkwardly, Sophia said, “I think you should ask John to go to the monastery with you. He’s a lucky man too.”

Yeah, he’s lucky in life, except when he was forced to marry me. Sophia secretly grumbled.


Old Mrs. Constance’s was immediately filled with disappointment. “Sophia, are you going to abandon all of us after your divorce with John?”

Sophia clutched her phone but remained silent. It was true that she did not want any more interaction and trouble with the Constances after the divorce. Sure, she could remain friends with John, but they should not get too tangled up in their daily lives.

She was fine with occasional contact with John, but if she had to accompany any member of the Constance Family on trips, it would only complicate matters.

Then, Old Mrs. Constance pleaded, “I have never begged you for anything before. Just do me a favor this time, will you? Please? Sophia?”

Sophia let out a sigh and relented. In the face of Old Mrs. Constance’s dogged insistence, she stood no chance of turning down the invitation. Defeated, she decided to stop the lengthy conversation and agreed to it. Next time, she could confidently say no to the old lady.

Old Mrs. Constance was over the moon and said that she’d send a driver to pick Sophia up the next day, to which Sophia curtly answered, “Okay.”

After the call, Sophia fell into a long silence before bursting into laughter, reminiscing about the old days when she didn’t get along well with the Constances. Beside her, Robin chuckled. “I overheard everything. That grandma from the Constance Family seems very nice to you.”

Sophia flashed her an ambiguous smile. “Oh, really?” But in the past, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t treat Sophia nicely. Her niceties came at the same time as John’s patience for her appeared—after the divorce. No matter how she looked at it, everything was belated and unnecessary.

Sophia continued to busy herself in the store until noon. Then, she left for a grocery store close to the desserts place to shop for some groceries before heading home. It only took her a round of shopping at the meat and poultry section before she bumped into someone she knew.
