Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 423

Sophia didn’t get a good night’s sleep, as she had a dream that night of her and John having sex. While she knew she was dreaming, as well as it was because of that kiss from John, she was still frustrated, but she couldn’t wake up from the dream. It wasn’t until she received a phone call from the makeup artist in the morning that she was able to wake from it. Then, she cursed under her breath after she did.

The makeup artist did Sophia’s makeup according to her gown before she began working on setting her hair. The end result gave Sophia an allure to her. With her red gown on, coupled by her makeup, Sophia had a feeling that she seemed different from her past self, as she looked sexy, which was a look that she liked.

After the makeup artist left, Logan gave her a call to inform her that he was on his way, to which Sophia grunted in response. “I’m done with the preparations, so I’m waiting for you.”

Logan’s driver drove him to Sophia’s place. When the car stopped before her house, she ran toward the car. Her appearance startled Logan, who began making exclamations, to which she arched a brow at. “I must look stunning.”

With a nod in agreement, Logan complimented, “You have always been a beauty, but you never left an impression on people. However, I have to admit that I have underestimated you. I wonder how could John possibly let you go.”

Upon having John's name being mentioned, Sophia shot Logan a glare. “I don’t want to hear that jerk’s name.”

Logan blinked while asking, “What’s wrong? Did he do something to cross you?” His query was met with a huff from her before she got into the car without giving him a reply, but Logan didn’t brood on the subject any longer either. He simply had the driver leave for the venue.

The Blackwell Family threw a grand party for Kate’s birthday in their European-styled mansion in the suburbs. There were already a lot of cars parked outside the mansion when they arrived, and the mansion was crowded with guests, as could be seen through the entrance. The mansion was probably built for official purposes, as it only had banquet halls and reception halls rather than living quarters.

With Logan in the lead, Sophia followed him to the reception hall, in which a buffet that resembled the one she attended with John was set up within its huge space. There were a lot of guests in the hall, who turned to check on them upon their entry, but soon resumed their respective tasks at hand.

The manner in which they were received differed from back when Sophia was with John. While everybody tried to get John’s attention as soon as he arrived, they were shunning Logan upon his arrival. However, Logan wasn’t discouraged at all by their treatment of him. Instead, he simply led Sophia to the buffet for some dessert as he hadn’t had dinner.

Sophia blinked in confusion while she asked, “Did your father not attend the party? Why isn’t he with you?”

After chucking a piece of dessert into his mouth, Logan replied, “Probably because he thinks I’m an embarrassment.” He said it with much poise, all the while betraying no negative emotions toward the supposed reason behind his father’s behavior.

Due to the fact that Sophia wasn’t feeling hungry, she only drank some juice. Logan led her to the backyard after a quick meal, where a rock garden and a swing was installed. While looking at the scenic landscape, Logan offered to push Sophia on the swing.

She checked on the swing before agreeing to his suggestion. Truth be told, she wasn’t much interested in it as it was more to a child’s liking, and she was already way past that age. The sole reason she went on it was because she wanted to give it a go as she had never gotten the chance to play on one when she was younger. Therefore, she sat down while holding the hem of her gown, whereas Logan pushed her from behind. “I scanned the venue, but John is nowhere to be found. With how much of a rigid person he is, he should already have arrived.”
