Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 1198

Turning her head, Sophia whistled as she stared at Matilda who was walking in the door. She looks younger again! This woman is truly different when she has the nourishment of love. She loved to dress like a wealthy lady in the past, but it’s different now since she’s following the trend! Actually, it looks quite pleasant. William looks a bit younger as well. He isn’t wearing a suit but casual wear, so he doesn’t appear so rigid.

Matilda was holding something in her hands, saying that it was for Sophia to nourish her body. Sitting down beside her, she prattled on about how the child would be born hale and hearty after she’d consumed this. Exasperation swamped Sophia since she had someone send tons of things over recently. I’m really consuming everything she sent over every day, but it’s just too much that I simply can’t finish everything.

Taking the item Matilda had bought over, Old Mrs. Constance studied it. “Not bad. This is quite good. It’s indeed beneficial to health if you consume it consistently.” After she’d said that, she turned and looked at Sophia. “It’s more nutritious than your baked potatoes and tastes better than your radish dip.”

Sighing, Sophia grimaced. “You’re getting increasingly awful these days, Grandma.”

John was leaning back against the sofa at the side, his eyes fixed on the three women. His gaze grew increasingly tender even as the smile tugging on his lips turned all the more distinct.

During a lull in conversation, Sophia asked Matilda about Yolanda. Surprisingly, Matilda was crystal clear about Yolanda’s every movement, saying that Yolanda had gone out for a meal with her blind date and they were both getting along rather well, so there seemed to be a shot from the look of things at present.

Upon hearing this, both Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Matilda then lowered her voice and said in a conflicted tone, “You know what? Yolanda called William a few days ago and deliberately mentioned the fact that she was going on a blind date. I wonder what she meant by doing so.”

Sophia arched a brow. “No wondering is necessary when it comes to such a thing. Perhaps she wanted to test William. After all, this is a common trick among women.”

Matilda smacked her lips, looking chagrined. Thus, Old Mrs. Constance mollified her, saying, “It’s okay. Don’t take it to heart. As long as William isn’t interested, no amount of tricks will work.”

Exactly! She hit the nail on the head with a single utterance. As long as the man can resist temptation, all those seductresses out there don’t stand any chance.

After talking about this, Matilda changed the subject, bringing up the scandal with the Bailey Family. When it’d just broken out, she ranted incessantly at the mention of the Baileys, but she was now noticeably calmer. She said that the Baileys would be prosecuted soon, so while the matter wasn’t beyond repair now, its impact was still devastating. Also, she asserted that Old Mr. Bailey and Elder Mr. Bailey would definitely be indicted no matter what happened to the rest of the Baileys.

Since she was speaking of the Baileys, she naturally mentioned Isabelle. At this, she heaved a sigh. I really liked her a lot back then. Truly, she was my ideal choice since she was sensible and understanding, not to mention of a good family background. Who would have ever expected things to come to this?

Sophia’s brows furrowed. “Isabelle seems to be leading quite a good life with her mother. I’m no longer in contact with her, but I’ve never asked John whether he is. After all, why should I be bothered when she’s no longer here?” Now, she was truly unconcerned about many things.

Nodding, Matilda lamented, “Looks like the Bailey Family is going to collapse.” Ever since the passing of the young master of the Bailey Family, the entire Bailey Family has started going downhill.
