Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 360

If a person has feelings for someone, he’ll be sad when he loses her. However, when John was asked to call off his wedding with Isabelle, he wasn’t at all heartbroken. Later, he even put in much effort in preparing for his wedding with Sophia. At that time, I was quite distressed on his behalf, feeling that he’d sacrificed too much, but he wasn’t at all bothered, merely saying that his grandfather’s happiness took precedence. Old Mrs. Constance commented, “When a person has feelings for someone, he’ll feel aggrieved when he has to break up with her. However, John wasn’t at all affected back then.”

Sighing, she then continued, “He isn’t a person who plays his cards close to his vest, so if he truly has feelings for Isabelle, he would’ve long since shown it and told us outright. But he didn’t. He has never said anything, so it means that he doesn’t like her.”

As Sophia listened to her, a faint smile played on her face. Actually, all this has nothing to do with me anymore. I no longer care whether he likes Isabelle. Back then, I had wanted to keep them apart out of resentment, but now, not only are the circumstances an issue, but my mentality itself has also changed entirely. After all, he’ll belong to someone else sooner or later. The question of who that person is actually hasn’t much to do with me. Hence, why should I waste my time and poke my nose into it? I’d be better served spending that time on myself.

Later, when Logan arrived at Sophia’s house, he saw the car parked before her gate from afar. He initially thought that it was John, but he then saw that it was the matriarch of the Constance Family upon reaching the courtyard. He was acquainted with her, so he swaggered in. “You’re here, Old Mrs. Constance?”

Startled, Old Mrs. Constance turned and stared at him for a long while before she finally gathered her wits about her. “Why are you here, Logan?”

Grinning, Logan walked over and sat down. “I’m friends with Sophia, and I came to visit her.”

Only now did Old Mrs. Constance suddenly recall William saying that he bumped into Sophia with Logan when he ate out with the Baileys. At that time, she even told John to persuade Sophia to keep her distance from Logan. She detested his abhorrent character since his clubhouse was involved in all sorts of illicit activities. That place had been raided several times, yet he never changed. Such a stubborn person would easily stray from the right path, so those who associated themselves with him would be easily led astray. She glanced at him, her face neutral with a smile. “You two are acquainted? Fate truly works in mysterious ways.”

After seconding that, Logan asked, “Is John doing okay? I noticed that the public opinion on the Internet had shifted slightly after Sophia issued her statement.”

Old Mrs. Constance murmured in affirmation. “He’s okay. This matter will fade in time, so it’ll be fine after letting things cool for a while.”

At this, Logan nodded. “You’re right.”

Sophia had her eyes lowered, saying nary a word. Actually, she didn’t know what to say. Logan was the kind of person who’d keep the conversation going, so he spent a long time chatting with Old Mrs. Constance indiscriminately. In the end, it was Old Mrs. Constance who called a halt. She glanced between Sophia and Logan before getting to her feet in the end. “I’ll leave you two to your devices. Please excuse me.” She decided not to stay and put Sophia in a difficult position since it was apparent that she hadn’t much to say to her considering her intense silence.

All at once, Sophia sprang up with the velvet box in hand. “Grandma, please take this back. It’s truly a heavy burden for me to keep it.”

Old Mrs. Constance turned and glanced at the box before finally taking it from her. “Alright, then. I hope I’ll have the opportunity to again give this to you in the future.”
