Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 437

Sitting next to the dance floor, Isabelle refused to let her guard down even for a second, even though she couldn’t see John and Sophia very well from the flickering lights which shone down on the dance floor.

Now, she couldn’t understand John and didn’t know what he was trying to do anymore. Is he trying to create an image that he’s an affectionate person?

Still, he didn’t need to do that because they had gone to great lengths to make the news of the divorce public.

While the flickering lights were hurting her eyes, a woman on the dance floor who knew her came over and invited her to dance along. “Miss Bailey, come and have some fun. Look how much everyone is enjoying themselves. It’s boring to sit over there by yourself.”

Usually, Isabelle wouldn’t mingle with these people because she didn’t like crowds, and such a scene always annoyed her. However, it was different on this day, so she smiled at the invite. “Alright. I’m tempted to join when I see you guys having so much fun,” she said. Lifting the hem of her dress, she went to the dance floor.

Of course, the women couldn’t be dancing like the men who were shaking their heads wildly, but everyone knew how to dance. Besides Sophia, probably everyone else on the dance floor were socialites from well-to-do families who had learned etiquettes and everything related to socializing. Naturally, dancing was also a part of it.

Naturally, dancing was also a part of it.

The moment she was on the dance floor, she slithered toward John and Sophia’s direction. She saw that they seemed to be engrossed in their own world, undisturbed by others around them as they ballroom danced to their own rhythm, not even noticing that she was just standing right next to them.

However, when the lights hit their way, she could see an impatient look on Sophia’s face, while John was beaming the whole time, appearing genuinely happy.

Fueled by the excitement in this corner, more and more people gathered and danced around them, killing Sophia’s mood when the dancing crowd began to build up.

However, John held her waist firmly and casually said in a normal tone, “Is Ian going to participate in the talent show invested by Lorraine Jefferson?”

Stunned, she looked at him and asked, “How did you know?”

This was easy to find out, and it was even said that the preliminary name list for the show had already been decided.

“It’s best for Ian to choose this path, actually,” he said with a laugh. “Since it was impossible for Sean to retreat from his post in the Morgan Family, Ian would never be able to make it there.”

Sophia rolled her eyes at him. “Why are you so concerned about him suddenly?”

Flexing his hand on her back slightly, John pulled her deeper into his arms. “It’s not him I’m concerned about. You are the one.”

A snort escaped her mouth as she said, “I don’t need your concern. Really. Because that’s just trouble for me.”

What she just said was true, because every now and then, he would say something suggestive out of the blue, which she didn’t know how to respond to.

Thus, she added, “Alright, I’ll shift the blame on myself. Maybe I haven’t been proper enough with you since the divorce, which led you to think that I might still have some interest in you. But I’m sorry, Mr. Constance. I really don’t, and I can’t wait for us to stop contacting each other until the end of our lives. Then, we can both live in peace.”

Without saying anything in reply, he merely stared at her. The whole while she was saying this, she kept her gaze on him steadily. Her eyes were clear with nothing to hide, and her tone was calm and neutral. This all went to show that she was honest and she truly meant it.

That made him uneasy and he sighed. “Let’s drop that topic and enjoy yourself today. A lot of people from the media are watching us.”
