Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 482

Sophia contemplated and said, “I haven’t heard anything unusual from the Constance Family lately. So, could she be visiting someone from her maiden family in the hospital?”

Hearing her statement, Logan quickly denied it. “If that’s the case, why did she have to act like a thief who’s afraid to get caught then? I doubt things were likely as you speculated. Instead, her sneaky behavior looked like she was sniffing around about someone else, just like me.”

Sophia was amused by Logan’s humorous reply as she responded with an affirmative hum. “Now that you put it that way, I think you could be right.”

In fact, Sophia was never interested in Matilda, but since the latter had always treated her harshly throughout the year she stayed with the Constance Family, she found that experience to be more unforgettable than anything else in the past twenty years. Therefore, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Matilda, but her curiosity subsequently got the better of her. Hence, she asked, “Can you find out who Mrs. Constance visited in the hospital and who she was sniffing around about?”

Logan laughed in response. “Look at yourself. You and I are not so different after all. Don’t worry about it, for I’ve already gotten my men to investigate the matter because I’m as curious as you are.”

Sophia replied, “Alright, that should ease my mind. I guess I’ll wait for your news then.”

After that, Logan continued to go on and on about the Morgan Family and how he put Simon in the hospital, recounting his story again and again as he had just won a glorious war. Nevertheless, she didn’t rain on his parade but instead put her phone aside and went ahead to cook, only responding with an affirmative hum once in a while. Not long after that, it appeared that Logan had somehow run out of things to say, so he asked what Sophia was doing.

In a sluggish manner, Sophia answered, “I’m cooking, and the tap water is running, so I can’t really hear you.”

Logan paused and said, “Oh, cook more then. I’ll be on my way to your place. Bye!” Before Sophia could even respond, Logan hung up the call directly.

After that, Sophia rolled her eyes and continued to cook, but before Logan arrived, John showed up. Upon catching a glimpse of a silhouette in the living room, she thought it was Logan and said, “Just wait in the dining area. I’ll be done soon.”

John then walked closer and leaned on the door frame. “Am I expected to be here?”

His words freaked Sophia out, whereupon she turned around and stared at the man. “Why are you here?”

The smile on John’s face slowly faded away. “Aren’t you expecting me? Who else could there be if it’s not me you’re expecting?”

Sophia was rendered speechless before she said, “What brings you here? Speak if you have anything to say and get out of here when you’re done.”

John folded his arms, finding himself desensitized to the woman’s mean remark because no one had ever treated him that way. Furthermore, while this was his first time warming up to Sophia, her nonchalant attitude caught him off guard, so he frankly stated his purpose. “I came to visit, and that’s all.”

“What’s worth visiting here?” Sophia replied with a smile.

John let out a sigh and echoed her words. “Yeah, what’s worth visiting here?” I just can’t help missing her when I don’t see her, but now that I do, I don’t seem to feel better either. Furthermore, the Sophia I know wouldn’t show anyone else her cold gaze and annoying look. Why can’t she be happy when she sees me, just like the way she used to?

Soon, Sophia served the dishes in the dining area, while John stood aside and watched the woman. I don’t know why, but this feels like the day we divorced. That day, John was sitting in his office for a really long time, even missing his appointment with Sophia at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Despite that, he continued to sit in his office while dwelling on the matter.
