Next One Is a Babe

Sophia’s belly was really obvious now, and she had gained a little weight, making her look completely different from her skinny appearance from before.

Ian began to pace toward her, but before he could reach her, John took a step forward and placed his arm around her. “You’re finally here. It’s a little late.”

Shifting his gaze to him, Ian smiled. “I was busy and got held up. But luckily, I still made it in time.” Turning to Sophia, he pointed out, “You’ve gained weight.”

Placing a hand on her cheek, Sophia said sheepishly, “I’m eating a lot recently because I have a good appetite.”

Ian nodded. “That’s good. You look just nice the way you are now.”

Next to them, Logan was getting impatient, and dashed forward for Lola’s hand the second he saw her coming out of the building. “Ian, you haven’t met her, have you? She’s my girlfriend, Lola.”

Seeing how anxiously impatient he was made Ian laugh. “I left twice, and both times after I returned, there was a massive change with each of you.”

The first time he returned, Sophia became John’s woman and was even pregnant. The second time he was back, Logan had found himself a girlfriend. Every time, someone would end their single status; he was the only one who remained single until now.

Unwittingly, his gaze drifted and fell on Sophia again.

Although he didn’t know what they were speaking about, she was glaring at John, and her jaw was tight. But rather than calling it an angry expression, the look on her face was more coquettish.

She’s not mad at John at all, he observed. She’s just throwing a small tantrum at him playfully.

Then, he quickly shifted his eyes and greeted Lola. “I’ve met you before in Logan’s clubhouse. You pinned him down in just one move.”

Lola couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s right. I remember you as well. And um, let’s try to forget about that because it wasn’t so pleasant.”

Raising an eyebrow, Ian teased, “From that, I can kinda imagine what Logan’s position will be when he’s with you from now.”

After chatting a little more, they all went into the house.

In the dining hall, the food was already prepared, and they sat down after washing their hands. All sorts of delicacies were on the dining table, and a multi-layered cake was placed next to it. The servants went ahead and placed a few boxes of fireworks outside the door, and then they all started eating inside.

Lola could tell that the Jeffersons didn’t make a huge deal out of a birthday party, but only took it as another opportunity for a family dinner.
