Next One Is a Babe

Sophia chuckled and stared at Logan. “See? I’m right.”

Then, Logan puckered his lips and gave up. “Alright. Maybe it’s true that I’m happier compared to a few days ago. You guys must be right.”

After that, he gave it some thought and realized that he seemed to be feeling much more relaxed and calm compared to a few days ago. John spun around and fired another question. “Is it because Miss Hunt has been nice to you?”

Upon hearing that, Sophia immediately exploded in laughter and looked at John. “Why did you suddenly pop such an important question out of nowhere?”

John nodded with a smile. “By the look of it, my guess is correct.”

Beside them, Logan looked a bit flustered and didn’t answer John. Sophia curled her lips into a smile and changed the topic of conversation, asking John if he had dinner and if he wanted to order some food here.

John didn’t have much of an appetite, and considering that everyone else was done with dinner, he replied, “That’s fine. We’ll see how it goes after we get home. I don’t really have an appetite now.”

Not long ago, he visited the warehouse and carried out some gruesome acts that led to his loss of appetite at the sight of food. Sophia didn’t press on, and the group chatted for a while until it was time to part ways.

However, Logan was still in high spirits and even called for a round of poker. Sophia noticed that John looked tired, so she turned Logan down, promising him that she’d return when she was free. To that, Logan nodded understandingly, but he still didn’t give up. “Okay then. I will find someone else to play with me.” He was obviously still riding the high. The words from Lola Hunt’s mouth are surprisingly influential.

With that, Sophia left with John, while William drove Matilda back. When they were saying goodbyes at the entrance, Sophia hinted at Matilda with a look in her eyes. She was sure that Matilda would get it.

Matilda stared back at Sophia and beamed; of course she knew.

Then, the two women waited until William and John had wrapped up their short conversation, after which Sophia followed John into his car and cautiously stretched. It was still early, but she was extremely sleepy.

On their way home, she drifted into sleep in the passenger seat. In the middle of their journey, John turned around and looked at her with resignation on his face as his eyes darkened.

When they arrived, Sophia was brought up to the room in John’s arms. The moment she was put into bed, she rolled around and almost fell asleep again. However, her mind was still on another issue. Thus, she checked with John by asking, “Has Master William arrived?”
