Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 698

His brows knitting together, John momentarily stilled while standing on the step. Then, he exited WhatsApp and placed his cell phone back into his pocket. Having done that, he nonchalantly went downstairs.

Matilda was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast with Ms. Cannon. Walking over, John peered in from the entrance before saying, “I phoned Dad last night and asked him about his relationship with Yolanda.”

Surprised, Matilda glanced over her shoulder at him. “Okay. Well?”

At this, John chuckled. “Looks like you’re rather interested in knowing about Dad’s affairs.”

Lowering her head, Matilda continued with her current chore. “I’d be lying if I were to say that I’m not interested. I’d still be somewhat curious. Well, get on with it. What did your father say?”


John leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. “Dad said that he has never had a romantic relationship with her and they’re just friends.”

Upon hearing this, Matilda snickered. “Yeah, they’re just friends. They must be bosom friends for him to be so concerned about her.”

John arched an eyebrow. “I didn’t ask him about the rest, nor did he offer any information. I just thought it’ll be prudent for me to tell you this. You can then form your own judgment, and of course, the decision lies in your hands.”

Matilda nodded. “Alright, got it. Go and wait in the dining room. Breakfast will be ready soon.”

John then stared at her profile for a while before he whirled around and went to the dining room. If this had happened in the past, she would’ve definitely claimed that she wasn’t interested in knowing and feigned insouciance considering her temperament. Then, she’d make discreet inquiries. Truthfully speaking, her candid attitude now is much more likable.

Plating the salad, Matilda straightened before heaving a sigh. Beside her, Ms. Cannon cast her a glance. “If you’re free today, you can ask Mr. Constance out for a meal. I noticed that you two got along quite well yesterday.”

“No way,” Matilda shot back at once. “I don’t want to have a meal with him. That’s aimless.” After saying that, she pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll just leave things as they are. Things are vague between him and Yolanda, so I don’t want to insert myself into the equation. A love triangle will just end up in utter chaos. Plus, I feel a headache coming on at the mere thought of it.” When she reached the door with the plate in hand, she suddenly added to no apparent person, “Things are good now, so I’ll just leave it at that.” Then, she went to the dining room.

John was still looking at his cell phone since Zack had sent him a message. While Zack appeared blasé on the surface, he was actually quite efficient. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to work with John for so many years. He'd sent over a picture of the person in the photo Roselia previously provided. He’d already investigated the person and ascertained his identity. All in all, it was a detailed investigation with all his activities throughout the years listed there plainly.
