Next One Is a Babe

Scoffing, Sophia hoisted herself up before John helped her into the bathroom. As he watched her brush her teeth from the bathroom door with a gentle smile on his face the whole time, she peered at him from the mirror and snorted.

The way he looked at it, she didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, she was just playing hard to get. Despite the fact that she had been rejecting him, her attitude toward him had obviously changed.

Recalling their past, John hugged her from the back and whispered into her ears, “Are you really not considering marrying me again? I’ll hold an even grander wedding for you.”

However, Sophia didn’t want to hear this and spat, “Buzz off.”

Nibbling at her ear, he said, “There are, in fact, many girls who like me. Don’t you feel threatened at all?”

Sophia dodged him and snorted. “Many girls? Yeah, right, like Isabelle.”

Almost instantly, John froze and the look on his face shifted. Isabelle was a topic that shouldn’t be mentioned.

Sighing in frustration, he said, “There’s really nothing between me and Isabelle. I wasn’t considerate enough in the past and couldn’t give you a sense of security.” Spinning her around, he met her eyes with an earnest look. “But it won’t happen again in the future, really.”

Right now, Sophia didn’t believe in these so-called promises as they were utterly meaningless. Shoving him aside, she snapped, “That’s enough. Actions speak louder than words.”

Just when she came out of the bathroom, Matilda happened to come into the room with breakfast. Originally, Sophia wasn’t hungry, but the smell of food made her decide otherwise.

Casting a look at John, Matilda said, “You’ll be having your breakfast downstairs. I’m not serving you.”

Silently, John watched Sophia dig in for a while before going downstairs with Matilda following behind. Tilting his head to look at her, he told her, “Be careful here at home. I discovered a camera on the door panel. Looks like someone has been here.”

“Somebody was here?” Matilda gasped in shock. “That person made it into the house?”

He was unsure about that. “That person probably made it to the living room. I’ll get someone to install cameras at home, and you should keep a lookout on the people who are coming over because I’m afraid someone will sneak in. We really have to be more cautious about everything now.”

Nodding, Matilda replied hurriedly, “Okay, I got it. These people are really capable, and they even have the nerve to come into the house!”

After that, John spoke no more.

When Sophia had finished eating and came downstairs with the dishes, John had already left the house and Matilda was standing at the door, staring intently at the door panel. The door panel was decorated with a retro carving and the color was a little darker. Hence, most people wouldn’t have realized that a tiny camera was installed in between the gaps.
