Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 224

Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, John said directly to the phone, "I'm busy here right now, so I'll be hanging up."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Sophia wore shorts with suspenders and white sneakers, while her hair was tied up in a ponytail on this day, making her look charming and energetic.

As John's gaze fell on Sophia, it took a while before he looked away. He only realized now after they had divorced that Sophia’s appearance had changed too; she seemed to look a lot younger.

He tried hard to remember how Sophia looked before, but he couldn’t remember it clearly. Nevertheless, all he remembered was her dull personality, looking depressed everyday, which made her appear older than her current self.

Sophia looked at John. "Let's go. I'm all ready."

With a grunt, John turned around and left the house first. They locked the door and the two went into the car.

As soon as Sophia got into the car, she took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the chair.

Glancing at her, John wondered when she developed this habit of crossing her legs. In his memory, she didn’t have this habit before.

The car drove all the way to Logan's clubhouse.

Since it was the middle of the day, the streets were quiet and there weren't many people around.

Logan had changed his clothes. Even though he was still in pajamas, they were light gray in color. The clothes fitted loosely on his body.

When he saw John's car coming over as he stood by the entrance, he quickly ran out of the clubhouse. "Finally, you guys are here. I have been thinking about you guys."

Sophia got out of the car and looked at him, a little disdainful. "If you really are sincere in welcoming us, at least get dressed up."

Logan gave her a glare. "I changed my clothes specially to welcome you guys. Won’t this do?"

Since he was still in pajamas, it wouldn't make a difference if he just changed into another set of pajamas.

Ian hadn't arrived yet, so the three of them went up to the second floor first.

Naturally, they couldn't just start the game like Logan wanted as they were still missing one player, so Logan took John and Sophia to the private room next door.

That private room had a larger space, and there was a large simulation racing game machine inside.

For the sake of making it realistic, the race cars were made to the size of actual race cars, and the models were all made according to existing race cars; only the track was being projected.

Logan looked at John. "Wanna give it a try?"

John smiled. "Sure."

Thus, Logan went over and switched on the machine. The sound of the machine switching on was so loud that it could probably be heard by the people in the shops across the street. Then, the projector screen came down. In front of the race car, a realistic looking track appeared.

John straddled his long legs and got in the race car.

To Sophia, these things were incomprehensible to her. She couldn't even understand the driving test book, let alone this. So, she turned around, went to a chair at the side and sat down.

As the game started, John sat in the race car and swung the steering wheel left and right to adjust the angle.

Maybe men just like stuff like this, but I’m getting sleepy just by looking at it, Sophia thought to herself. So, she took out her phone and sent a message to Ian.

It took a long time for Ian to reply. When it came, he said that he suddenly had something to deal with and that he couldn't make it.

Sophia gave a surprised 'eh' and stood up before shouting to Logan who was not far away, "Ian said he has something to deal with, so he can't come over."

Since Logan had been watching John as he drove the race car, he didn't take it seriously when he heard Sophia. "Tell him that he has to come. I'm waiting for him. I even got the poker set ready."

His eyes never left the virtual track John was driving in, looking excited for some reason.

After thinking about it, Sophia called Ian.

It took a long time for Ian to pick up as well, and his voice was lowered when he said, "Sophia, I have something to deal with now, so I can’t go over. You guys have fun over there. I'll be late..."

Before he finished speaking, Sophia heard a smash over there. It sounded like something fell down and broke, then she heard a woman's yell. "So we look like pushovers to you, is that right? So you think my children are not a part of your family? That they deserve to be bullied like this? You think a b*stard like yourself can move against the main family? Come on then! I’m not dead yet..."
