Next One Is a Babe

---

Wasn’t it nice? Yeah, I suppose she was good to me.

Sophia really didn’t know who else to talk to about this, so she started telling John about what happened at the Blackwell Residence.

Learning that his ex-wife was now a part of the Blackwell Family, John was dumbfounded. “Seriously?”

Sophia nodded. “Why would I lie to you? I was really shocked as well. No one had informed me about it too. If I knew what they were doing today, I wouldn’t have gone there.”

It seemed like John suddenly recalled something as his gaze darkened.

Sophia turned over to give John a disdainful look. “Look at your facial expressions. What are you scheming again?”

Faced with her question, John smirked. “Scheming a plan for you. I’m trying to help you think of a better identity.”

Sophia snorted, for she obviously didn’t take John’s words seriously.

John drove and sent Sophia home.

When Sophia got out of the car, John asked, “Are you not going to invite me into your house? I’m sure that I contributed a little by going over there today to help you ease the tension of your awkwardness.”

Since Sophia didn’t look like she had the intention to let him in, John had no choice but to raise the question.

Sophia turned to John and pondered for a moment before replying, “Alright. You have to leave after you finish drinking a cup of water though.”

Sophia invited him in begrudgingly.

Secretly, John couldn’t help but chuckle before getting out of the car and following Sophia.

It wasn’t very late yet, but Sophia felt like resting already. She was too lazy to boil water, so she went to the fridge to get a bottle of mineral water before throwing it to John.

John was sitting on the couch as he toyed with the mineral water bottle for a moment before placing it down. “Try to stay away from the Blackwells. Although Kate is nice, the Blackwells are a huge family, and most of them have their own opinions. It was obvious that they might be against this as none of the Blackwell brothers came to send us off.”

Sophia went over to sit in front of John as she leaned back on the couch. “It’s not like I wanted to be involved with them as well. I’m fine on my own, and I don’t need any family right now.”

I don’t need these people, especially those who came in halfway.

Most of these families had their own thoughts, and most of them only gather for specific reasons, or to be frank, for benefits.

Sophia looked conflicted as she stared at the bangle. “I really didn’t want to accept this, but I don’t know how to return it.”

“Just keep it.” John explained, “Sometimes it’s hard to reject things like this. Kate is genuinely nice to you and wouldn’t harm you. However, if you return it, you might actually offend her, so it’s better if you keep it.”

Sophia looked helpless as she held the bangle in her hands and observed it. “Alright. I’ll keep it for now and see if I have any chances to return it to her in the future.”

Then, John stared at Sophia. “Back to the topic, though. Do you think we look suitable together?”
