Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 722

Sophia thought about it. “In a few days. I’ll tell you by then.”

“Sure,” John replied, and that was the end of the topic. Then, he talked about the surveillance camera technician and his employer. There was footage of the employer, but they covered themselves up tightly so nobody could recognize them. Not that it mattered though, for John went to check the surveillance footage of the road and knew where the perpetrator was staying. Zack was already trying to pinpoint the exact location.

Sophia listened to it for a while and stretched her arms, looking like she didn’t care about this. “You guys carry on. I’ll get some sleep. I’m beat.” Well, not really. I’m just lazy.

Matilda nodded. “Sure. You need a lot of rest anyway.”

John stared at Sophia, and once she got out of the room, he followed her back into her room. When Sophia was going to lie on her bed, John came in and grabbed her hand. “Wait up.”

Sophia looked back at him, surprised. “What’s the matter?”

After a moment’s thought, John went to lock the door before coming back to her, his lips pursed, and he was fidgeting. Sophia looked at him, flabbergasted. Then, John took a couple of deep breaths and kneeled on one foot, then he took a box out of his pocket.

By reflex, Sophia took a step back, shocked by what John was doing. He looked up at her and opened the box. Without even looking, Sophia knew what was in the box, or at the very least, she had a good guess.

John said softly, “I owe you this, so I’m paying you back, though you might not care about it anymore.”

The diamond ring in the box was gleaming more brilliantly than her original ring, which was already expensive enough. However, John didn’t propose to her back then. He didn’t want to marry her, so nobody cared about the proposal.

Sophia stared down at the ring John was holding, and she frowned. “Did you buy a new one?”
