Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 551

What the heck! I shouldn’t have watched it and made myself upset!

After resting on the chair for a while, John fished out his phone and called Sophia. He did not need to ask her to know that she must have seen what Ian had said on the show.

It took Sophia some time to connect the call, and she spoke in her usual impatient tone. After John asked what she was doing, she didn’t reply to him directly but instead questioned, “Why are you looking for me?”

After giving it a thought, John said, “Ian has joined the contest.”

Sophia grinned. “I know. I just watched the show.”

As expected, she knew about it. After waiting for a bit, John went on, “So, the girlfriend he’s talking about is you?”

Although this wasn’t an interrogation, John didn’t sound polite. Before she could reply, he continued, “Ian doesn’t know what happened last night, right?”

John didn’t mean to mock when he asked that question; he simply wanted to mention the incident last night. However, the question sounded rude, no matter in what tone it was asked. After a pause, Sophia replied, “Of course I’m the girlfriend he’s talking about. Could you be his girlfriend instead? Also, what happened last night isn’t something I need to hide from Ian. If he minds it, I’ll tell him about it.”

John closed his eyes, for he could feel that their conversation was turning sour, but this wasn’t what he intended when he called.

Seeing as he wasn’t speaking, Sophia went on, “If you’ve called to ask me about it, we can end the call now. I’m busy.”

“Wait,” John said. After thinking for a bit, he asked, “What do you make of the incident last night?”

Sophia was startled for a moment before replying nonchalantly, “Last night? We did it many times before, but you never seemed to mind it. Why do you care so much about that one time last night?”

She then burst into laughter, as though what happened last night wasn’t even worth mentioning. “You had fun last night, didn’t you? We’re both adults, and we did it on our own free will. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

John fell silent. After waiting for a while, Sophia hung up the call. Then, her expression turned into a furious one. What the heck! How could he call to question me? Who does he think he is?

Because of the call, her already lousy mood turned worse. While she was washing up, she still cursed the man who just called her. When she slumped into her bed and was ready to turn off the lamp, her phone started ringing. She took a deep breath and picked up the call. “Why are you calling me at this hour? I need my beauty sleep!”

Logan was surprised by her irritated tone. “Why do you sound so grumpy? It’s not very late.”

Knowing what he wanted to ask her, Sophia said, “I’m going to sleep. Bye.” She proceeded to hang up the call. Sure enough, Logan wanted to ask me what Ian meant when he said those things on the show, but I’m not in the mood to give an explanation.

She covered herself with a quilt and thought, How could Ian have the guts to talk about it on a show that would be broadcast to a large audience? This kind of joke should only be told among friends!

She tossed and turned until she couldn’t take it anymore and got out of the bed. Upon picking up her phone, she texted Ian. ‘Text me back when you’re free.’

Normally at this hour, Ian would still be training for the show, so Sophia didn’t expect him to see the message immediately.
