Next One Is a Babe

Having no interest in what they were reading, Sophia stood at the door and called out to them. “Hey there, you two handsome fellows. Time for dinner!”

Logan grunted. “Handsome fellow? You must be calling me.”

John closed the file. “Yeah, yeah, she’s definitely calling you.” Then, he left the study, taking Sophia’s hand in his as they walked out.

Logan gave them a sideward look. “Do you need to do that in front of me? Why are you doing that even at home? Does no one at home tell you off for acting lovey-dovey?”

After glaring at Logan, Sophia turned around, hugged John and kissed him. “I’m holding my husband’s hand and kissing him in my own house. What’s wrong with that?” She snorted and added, “Why don’t you get a girl for yourself too?”

Logan cried out, “What’s with you? Are you laughing at me for being single? Alright, just you wait. One day, I’ll bring my girlfriend to meet you. I will show you how capable of a man I am!”

Sophia didn’t bother to reply to him because he was always good at bluffing. By now, she knew that her friend was not good at anything, except for bluffing. The three of them went downstairs for dinner. Halfway, Logan lowered his head and saw the interaction between Matilda and William. The couple was talking about something and smiling at each other.

At the sight, Logan drew a sharp breath. “You all! You never care about my feelings. If I had known about all the public displays of affection I would be seeing here, I wouldn’t have come here for a free dinner!” The older and younger couples both act the same way!

At dinner, everyone sat down and listened to Old Mrs. Constance announcing the outcome of her discussion with Old Mrs. Flintstone. They obviously had a family meeting at the Flintstone Residence to discuss Matilda and William’s relationship.

This time, Old Mrs. Constance had a smooth discussion with them. The two families had finally reached a common understanding and no one objected to Matilda and William’s remarriage.

Despite the agreement, the Flintstones had some reservations on their side. The news of John and Sophia’s remarriage was not made public yet, but Sophia’s belly was growing by the day, so the news would break sooner or later.

A couple that had divorced each other and got back together again would make a great love story. It would be a tale of them going their own ways, only to find their way back to each other after twists and turns. However, if both father and son decided to remarry their former spouses, the public discourse would look very different. When the two went through divorce one after another, and somehow decided to remarry at the same time, people would think that they were treating marriage as a joke.

According to the Flintstones, they believed that nothing too impactful would happen between William and Matilda anytime soon, unlike John and Sophia. Therefore, they proposed to keep the relationship between William and Matilda a secret first, and the families would not make a public announcement about it for the moment.

Old Mrs. Constance could understand the Flintstones’ concern. Now, she looked at the older couple and asked for their opinion, “What do you think about this?”

William’s expression remained calm as he nodded. “It makes sense too. With or without the public announcement, our relationship will not change. At this age, both of us are not bothered about the formalities anymore. Everything’s fine as long as we are happy with each other.”
