Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 555

John walked over and asked, “Have you ordered anything?”

Seeing him, Matilda hurriedly replied, “We have only ordered a few dishes. If there’s anything you like, we can order more.”

John waved his hand. “That’s alright. We can order more later if it’s really not enough.” He then took a seat beside William and turned to Matilda. “How are you doing recently? I heard that you went to the hospital.”

With an embarrassed expression, Matilda replied, “Yes. I had to apologize, since it was my own fault.” Upon finishing her words, she took a look at William, who appeared serious but didn’t seem to have anything to say.

John said to his father, “You must be exhausted, since it’s been a long day.”

William pinched his glabella. “Yes, I’m a little tired.”

John was just trying to ease up the atmosphere. Since his parents were seated on either side of the table without talking to each other, the awkwardness in the air was so thick that it could be cut through with a knife. It was indeed a sorrowful fact that a lovey-dovey couple had turned into familiar strangers.

On the other side, after Sophia saw the shy man off, she closed the shop. Standing in the doorway, Robin said with a smile, “You are really attractive to young men.”

Sophia hissed. “Stop saying that. I felt like I was committing a crime when he said he loved me.”

Robin guffawed. “I think he’s alright. He’s handsome, and he comes from a middle-class family.”

Giggling, Sophia uttered, “If I’m looking for a new boyfriend, I expect that man to be more powerful than John.”

Her words startled Robin. “Why? Comparison isn’t necessary when it comes to love.”

Sophia carried her backpack. “You’re right. I shouldn’t compare a potential boyfriend to John, but I’m a vain woman, so I must find a more powerful man.” After that, she waved her hand at Robin. “Bye. Be careful on the road.”

Standing outside the entrance, Robin watched her get into a taxi and leave. Pursing her lips, she turned to take a look at the shop signboard and let out a sigh.

When Sophia reached her home, she saw Logan sitting in her yard. He must have been there for some time. He seems bored from the way he’s sitting. Walking over, Sophia asked, “Why have you come to my house without calling me first?”

Logan locked his eyes with her. “When have you and Ian gotten together? Weren’t you with John?”

The question gave Sophia a headache. “Let’s get in before we talk.”
