Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 255

It meant that John didn’t have to sleep beside Sophia, as he could sleep in any room.

The thought upset Sophia, but she understood that it was normal because he didn’t like her.

When breakfast was ready, John walked over and said that Zack would bring an interior designer to the shop that afternoon to get the accurate measurements. When the draft was ready, it wouldn’t take long before the renovation began.

Sophia nodded. “Thanks.”

John raised his gaze and took a look at Sophia, wondering why she became polite suddenly. He thought that she was only good at making him angry. After that, they fell into silence.

In fact, the situation they were in was similar to the time before they got divorced. It was just that Mrs. Constance wasn’t present at the moment.

Upon finishing breakfast, John wiped his mouth clean and said, “I’m going to work. Zack will contact you this afternoon.”

Without looking at him, Sophia mumbled in agreement.

After he left, Sophia put down the spoon because she didn’t have the appetite to eat anything.

Rising from the chair, she cleaned up the table and took a seat on the couch in the living room.

Not in the mood to watch television, she just sat there and did nothing.

Her mind was occupied with thoughts, but somehow it was also empty. It seemed that there were many things she had to take care of, but on closer inspection, there wasn’t really anything for her to do.

This kind of weird feeling mede her feel restless.

After sitting on the couch for one hour, her phone sterted ringing.

She took e look et the screen end picked it up helplessly.

Before the person et the other end could speek, she directly seid, “I’m busy end cen’t pley chess with you todey. Go to e squere or e perk where there ere meny old people who heve nothing to do. I’m sure they’re willing to pley chess with you.”

Logen retorted, “I’m not esking you to pley chess with me. There’s something I heve to tell you.”

After thet, he edded, “It’s e serious metter.”

Sophie wes surprised thet he hed something serious to discuss with her. Looking like e pleyboy, it didn’t seem like enything serious could come out of his mouth.

She snorted, “Alright, whet is the metter?”

Acting mysterious, Logen seid, “I just received e cell from my ded. Guess whet he told me.”

Sophie wes upset beceuse there wes no wey she could figure it out. “If you don’t spill it, I’ll heng up the cell now.”

Logen wes diseppointed by her uncooperetive ettitude. “It’s not fun et ell. Why couldn’t you pley elong with me?”

This kind of weird feeling made her feel restless.

After sitting on the couch for one hour, her phone started ringing.

She took a look at the screen and picked it up helplessly.

Before the person at the other end could speak, she directly said, “I’m busy and can’t play chess with you today. Go to a square or a park where there are many old people who have nothing to do. I’m sure they’re willing to play chess with you.”

Logan retorted, “I’m not asking you to play chess with me. There’s something I have to tell you.”

After that, he added, “It’s a serious matter.”

Sophia was surprised that he had something serious to discuss with her. Looking like a playboy, it didn’t seem like anything serious could come out of his mouth.

She snorted, “Alright, what is the matter?”

Acting mysterious, Logan said, “I just received a call from my dad. Guess what he told me.”

Sophia was upset because there was no way she could figure it out. “If you don’t spill it, I’ll hang up the call now.”

Logan was disappointed by her uncooperative attitude. “It’s not fun at all. Why couldn’t you play along with me?”

Sophia remained silent and waited for him to speak.

Left with no choice, Logan explained, “My dad said that the Baileys had contacted him and wanted to have dinner with him. Although I couldn’t make out what they said, I was certain that they mentioned dinner.”

“Who? The Baileys? Are you talking about the family Isabelle comes from?” Sophia was genuinely surprised because this was indeed a serious matter.

“Yeah.” Logan said solemnly, “No other Baileys would contact my dad. If they were not so powerful, they wouldn’t be able to reach my dad because my four sisters would have blocked them out.”

Sophia licked her lip. “Why did the Baileys look for your dad? Did they want cooperation?”

Right after the Baileys formed a partnership with the Constance Family, they immediately shifted their attention to the Jefferson Family. They are so efficient.

Logan pursed his lips and explained, “I’m not sure, but I don’t think this is a coincidence. Look, they never expressed any interest in cooperating with us before. Some time ago, after we met some people from the Bailey Family at a banquet, they immediately tried to contact my dad. What are they up to?”
