Next One Is a Babe

Sophia could only chuckle as she really had no idea what to say.

Leaning against the chair, Robin heaved a heavy sigh. “So, you really have no feelings for John?”

With her brows knitted together, Sophia hesitated for a moment.

Do I love John? Well, this is a serious question.

From last night’s dream until her earlier visit to Old Mr. Constance’s grave, Sophia had pondered on this question.

Then again, she dared not dig deeper into the matter.

Perhaps she was in denial, or maybe she was just not prepared to face it.

After all, he was her first man and the first person who made her heart flutter. Frankly, it would be impossible to remove this man entirely from her heart.

In this period of time, she had attempted to do so, and it seemed to have worked.

On the other hand, in regards to whether she still loved him or not, if she really had to answer that question—it would be a yes. Somehow, a part of her still had feelings for him.

Seeing that Sophia wasn’t answering, Robin’s eyes widened. “Allow me to remind you that you have a new boyfriend now, so don’t tell me you still have lingering feelings for John.”

Gazing up toward Robin, Sophia grumbled, “Why are you so curious?”

Taken aback for a moment, Robin smiled awkwardly. “Well, I’m just a curious cat. Rumors about the both of you have spread all over the Internet, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake rumors. Besides, you refuse to share it with me. But still, I’m dying to know the truth.”

“All I can say is—ignore the gossip over the Internet. Most of them are just groundless rumors,” said Sophia with a pout.

Nodding, Robin didn’t question further.

Upon finishing her tea, Sophia got up and prepared to leave, as she planned to get changed at home.

Following Sophia to the door, Robin said, “Seriously, seeing the ups and downs in your love life makes me want to be in a relationship so badly.”

Dumbstruck, Sophia turned to look at Robin. “Don’t be influenced by others. If you wish to be in a relationship, it has to be because you have met someone you’re in love with. Don’t jump into a relationship just because you desire to be in a relationship. Otherwise, you’ll regret it and be left feeling more alone.”

Laughing heartily, Robin commented, “What you’re saying now sounds kind of philosophical.”

Chortling, Sophia said, “I was only saying. In fact, I haven’t fully grasped the thing about love, but one thing I’m sure of is that the reason for you to start a relationship has to be because the special person that made your heart flutter appeared, not because of any other reason.” After thinking about it, she added, “Then again, what kind of person are you interested in?”

Hearing that, Robin’s eyes darted around. Licking her dry lips, she confessed, “For me, I like someone who’s strong and capable of standing up to protect me during troubled times; someone who’s able to fulfill my small requests in life.”

Nodding her head, Sophia thought those were understandable requests. Basically, when it came to love, most girls required security.
