Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 356


Nice! She has just added a new post, and it was a few seconds ago at that. This time, it was a photo of her, Logan, and Ian. The three of them were playing Monopoly, and they were all holding a stack of cards each, grinning at the camera. Sophia was in the middle, while Logan and Ian flanked her on each side. After staring at the three of them for a long while, John exited the application and strode to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Sophia giggled after she’d posted the picture. “Ah, life is truly great! Who doesn’t envy such leisurely days?”

With a stack of cards in his hands, Logan grinned. “Looks like you’ve got quite the number of properties.”

At the side, Ian chuckled, only to have Logan cutting him a glare. “Ian, I’m warning you that I’ll get angry if you continue helping her out. She’s now in the lead, so you’ve got to understand this—both you and I have got to turn the tables and take the lead, so you can’t keep helping her.”

Ian nodded solemnly. “Okay, got it.”

Intense fury swamped Logan. Got it, huh? He always says he got it, but he always helps Sophia! “Ian, tell me frankly. Do you have feelings for Sophia? We’ve been friends for so many years, yet you’ve never been partial to me. Look at how good you are to her. I’m about to get jealous!” he growled.

Fanning the cards in her hand, Sophia didn’t take his words seriously at all. “Whoever is good to me has to have taken a fancy to me? What logic is this? I think you’re rather good to me as well, so have you also fallen for me?”

Logan promptly leaned back. “Don’t simply spout nonsense! Are you hoping to have a scandal with me? I didn’t encroach on your relationship with John, so don’t make trouble for me. I don’t want to be the second Isabelle.”

At this, Sophia snorted. “Let’s get on with the game quickly. I’ve got Leicester Square here. Do you want it? No? If so, move on.”

“Hah, you don’t need to be so smug just because you’ve got Leicester Square! Just you wait! I’ve got King’s Cross Station waiting for you here!” Logan exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Sophia lamented for a long while. In the end, Ian failed to stifle his laughter and cracked up. Subsequently, Logan chuckled as well. “What joy! I’m always so happy when I’m with the two of you!”

“Me, too. I haven’t been in such high spirits for a while now,” Sophia murmured. When she said ‘for a while’, it’d indeed been a very long time for her; several years, in fact.

Beside her, Ian chimed in, “Same here. I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”

The three of them looked at each other, all feeling a touch emotional. While it was understandable in Ian and Sophia’s cases since they both had somewhat woeful backgrounds, Logan was purely hypocritical when he claimed that he hadn’t been this merry in a while.

The three of them played until a little over 9:00 at night before Logan and Ian headed home. Sophia saw them off at the door. “I won’t be going out in the next few days, so come over if you’re free.”

Having loads of time on his hands, Logan nodded as soon as he heard that. “Don’t worry, I’ll come over tomorrow.”

When they’d left, Sophia went back into the house and locked the door before checking the windows. I’m living alone without a man here, so I’ve got to be extremely cautious.

She then went back to her room and took a shower. When she came out, she glimpsed a missed call on the screen of her cell phone. It’s a recent call from John. Finding it amusing, she stared at her cell phone for a long time. I don’t quite understand his thoughts now, but I think I can analyze them. If all these things hadn’t happened, he would’ve found the right time to announce our divorce to the public. Perhaps we would’ve then parted without hard feelings. However, this series of events forced his hand.
