Next One Is a Babe

Standing by the door, John took a deep breath before turning to leave. On the other hand, Walter didn’t linger any longer at Oscar’s house, as he had to treat his hand before it was too late. Upon realizing that none of the villagers were going to help him, he quickly left the village to head to a nearby clinic. However, he saw someone standing under a tree as soon as he exited the village.

After staring at John for a while, Walter walked up to him. “Why are you here, John?”

Upon being acknowledged, John straightened his posture while examining Walter from head to toe. After that, he said, “Your son is studying in middle school, am I correct?”

Eyes wide, John’s statement caught Walter off guard. With a snicker, John continued, “Despite having left the village for almost twenty years, you never got too far away from here. Because both you and your ex-wife were uncultured, you didn’t get anywhere even after spending a year outside, so you had to come back. However, you simply didn’t return to your old home, right?”

Seeing that Walter pouted without retorting, John went on to say, “Two years later, you filed for a divorce, and from what I gather, it was because you had an affair with another woman.” Upon noticing the sullen expression on Walter’s face, John smiled. “Should I go on? Walter Gwendolyn, I know all about you, including your home address, details about your wife, as well as where your precious son is studying.”

Walter stared at John in shock. “H-How’d you know about these?”

A smile tugged on John’s lips. “I will get to know whatever I want to know. I even gathered info on your creditors, as well as where they live, so I can contact them anytime I want to. Walter Gwendolyn, after spending almost twenty years hiding from them, what do you think they will do if they catch wind of the fact that you had always been in the area, hiding in plain sight?”

Walter’s face blanched. “You can’t do that to me! I am your father-in-law, and Sophia’s father!”

Clicking his tongue, John despised the manner in which Walter behaved. “If you weren’t her father, you wouldn’t have gotten away with only a broken finger.” Turning his back to Walter, John added, “I will give you one chance. If you promise to never disturb Sophia ever again, I will turn a blind eye to what you did. However, if you decide to show yourself once more, I will make sure that everybody knows of your past deeds, so you won’t be able to settle down no matter where you go.”

Walter stared at John’s back for a long time before taking a deep breath. Even if Walter said nothing, John knew what he would do. Therefore, he turned to walk back into the village. “Remember, you should never show your face in front of Sophia ever again. You’d better stay away from her from now on.”
