Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 459

When William spoke to John a moment ago, he seemed to be sending him a warning with his expression. John quickly realized that it was negligence on his own side.

Until William's car was out of sight from the rearview mirror, John retracted his gaze. Inebriated, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes, slowly dozing off.

When he had reached Constance Residence, the chauffeur called out to John to awaken him.

Getting out of the car, John leaned against the car for a while to sober up. Then, he slowly walked into the main building and told the cook to get him a hangover tonic.

When the tonic was ready, William returned home. Although William had consumed lots of alcohol as well, he appeared to be more clear-headed than this son. Upon entering the house, he directly took a seat opposite John.

Since his wife was asleep, William questioned in a lowered voice, "Have you figured it out?'

Resting on the couch, John was on the verge of falling asleep. When he heard that, he frowned. "What?"

Helplessly, William asked, "Don't you understand that you were almost taken advantage of?"

The question made John scowl.

William smiled. "Sober up and think about it. It seems that you're really intoxicated since you can't even see through it."

John slumped onto the couch. Maybe I really am drunk.

His mood seemed to have played a part as well. It wasn't his first time drinking so heavily, but he had never been so wasted before.

After a while, he finished the hangover tonic and went upstairs. With his eyes half open, he fumbled along the corridor and reached his room. Following that, he turned the doorknob and walked in.

For an instant, he felt that the room was a little different. Without turning on the light, he reached for his bed with the help of the moonlight.

When Sophia was done with it, she turned off the computer. Just then, her phone started ringing; it was a call from Ian. When the call was connected, Ian said in an excited voice, "Sophia, do you want to have supper with me?'

Sophia took a look at the time and realized that it was late. Still, she was surprised that Ian was looking for her at such an hour. "You sound happy. What happened?'

Then, Sophia asked where he was, and he said that he was on the way to her house. After giving it a thought, she inquired, "Why don't you get takeaway for the supper and have it at my place?' Since she was done washing up and getting changed, she didn't want to step out of the house anymore.
