Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1608

Money was often at the heart of all the nasty things that occurred in rich families. Parents, siblings, grandchildren—all of them would turn against each other for the sake of money.

Sophia nodded thoughtfully. She recalled the little village she used to live in. I guess there isn’t much that happened there since we were all poor. Everyone was kind toward each other. However, she then thought about Walter. Well, everyone else might be simple and honest, but there’ll always be that one person who’s especially sh*tty.

After two more rounds of poker, Lola had to stop as her belly was making her feel uncomfortable. All of them stopped and moved into another room where there was a bed prepared for Lola.

Sophia beamed. “You sure take great care of your wife.”

Logan helped Lola up onto the bed so that she could get some rest. “Of course. The baby in there is my baby, so they’re both my responsibilities. Why didn’t you bring your little one out? That kid looks like a ball of meat now—he’s a really likable child.”

Sophia rested against the couch. “I’d have to bring all sorts of other bags and items if I bring my baby out. I never knew how troublesome it was to bring a kid out in the past.”

Lola rubbed her own belly. “I thought the pregnancy itself is already tough, but it sounds like I’ll have more to worry about once the baby’s out. I guess things will be hard until he grows up, huh?”

Sophia nodded. “When I was pregnant, all I could think about was to give birth as soon as possible. However, I realized that I had more freedom while I was pregnant—at least I could go anywhere I wanted to.”

With a palm gently rubbing against Lola’s belly, Logan spoke to her in a soft voice. “It must be tough for you. I’ll take care of the child once it’s out. You can focus on your postpartum recovery.”

Sophia shot John a side glare at that moment. Before she could say anything, John snapped at her. “Why are you looking at me like that? I was the one taking care of the baby after he was born, but you were the one who didn’t like it. And you were the one who insisted on me going to work.”

Sophia had already expected him to twist the conversation in this direction, so she simply shot him a disdainful gaze. “I don’t need you to take care of me. It’s best that you’re at work—your father will keep nagging otherwise.”

It had almost become William’s daily routine to play with the baby boy after he got home. Following that, he would go over to give John a long lecture. These activities had become part of William’s everyday life.

John couldn’t contain his laughter. “You should just push him to me if you ever hear him nagging you again. You’re supposed to be on the same side as me—how could you side with him?”

Sophia had no interest in responding to John. William often put on a look of disappointment at home—he thought that caring for John was a waste of effort since John wasn’t doing anything for him in return. Sophia’s mood was ruined every time she saw William’s expression. She’d rather have John at work than deal with William’s whining and nagging every day.
