Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 548

Zack smacked his lips. “Poor Madam Flintstone.”

Sophia sneered, “She deserves it. The next time you have this kind of thought, you should browse the Internet to see how aggressive Madam Flintstone was when she was kicking up a fuss at the hospital before. She didn’t look pitiful at all then.”

Zack laughed and said, “Now that she has ended up like this, do you feel especially relieved? Like you’ve gotten your revenge?”

Sophia gave it a careful thought. “At first, I did. But when she came over here and ordered me to help her contact John for a meetup, I thought that I’ve really dwelled too much on her. Why should I bother about someone like that? Isn’t it better to live my life well?”

Zack stared at Sophia and remarked, “You seem to get wiser by the day.”

Robin glanced into the shop next to her. “I think Madam Flintstone’s pretty polite toward others, but she doesn’t like Sophia and is very malicious toward her.”

“Yes.” Sophia sighed. “I mean, I was the one who ruined her son anyway.”

All three laughed at that.

Inside the shop, Matilda was sitting across John. “John, do you also blame me for kicking up a fuss at the hospital?”

Looking at Matilda being so despondent, John felt his heart soften. He answered, “No, I don't blame you. No matter what you do, it's your own business. To put it bluntly, you need to be responsible for your own affairs. I can't interfere with anything.”

Matilda lowered her gaze. “This just means that you do blame me.” Then, she changed the topic and said, “But I won’t believe that your dad doesn’t have anything to do with that woman at all. I’ll never believe it! They have been entangled with each other for so many years and have always been in contact. It’s natural for me to lose control back then. You know me. I’ve always had a hot temper.”

Matilda spoke so much, yet John just grunted mildly in response. It was clear that he really didn’t want to talk to Matilda about this matter since he couldn’t make her understand anything.

Throughout all these years, no matter what happened, Matilda had never reflected on her own actions and always laid the blame on others instead.

Matilda sighed. “Well, I didn't expect your dad and I to be together for so long anyway. I guess he’ll get together with that woman in the coming days.”

John's voice was very light as he said, “At the moment, I don’t think he’ll do that. But if you continue to make a fuss, I believe they’ll probably get together soon.”

Matilda was stunned. She realized that by saying this, John was putting some responsibility on her as well, so she couldn’t help but rebuke, “They must have something going on between them since a long time ago. Otherwise, no matter how much fuss I kick up, it wouldn’t be possible for them to get together.”

John gave her a slight smile. “Okay. If you want to think so, then so be it. After all, it's pointless for you to think about it either way.”

Matilda immediately shut up at that. It was hard for her to meet up with John, so she didn’t want to argue with him and cause a scene. Falling silent, she pressed her lips together hard, which did make her look a little pitiful.

John turned his gaze away from her and looked out the window at Sophia, who was standing on the side of the road nearby. Sophia and Zack were chatting away. Suddenly, Sophia laughed a little exaggeratedly and even raised her hand to hit Zack lightly.

At this moment, John saw someone coming out of the opposite shop which sold floorboards. It was a young man and he was walking toward Sophia. Because of Sophia’s pleasant personality and good looks, she had a good reputation around here. On the day her shop opened for business, she gave free desserts away to the shops around her as a token of goodwill, so the neighboring shops were also happy to do business with her.
