Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 589

In reality, Sophia couldn’t possibly restrain John with her feeble strength, but John knew that he’d indeed gone a tad overboard, having scared the bejesus out of her this time. Thus, he allowed her free rein though he did raise his arms and shield his head.

Even while she was livid, Sophia didn’t truly intend to beat him up. She merely punched his arm incessantly while lambasting him. I almost fainted when I caught sight of someone beside my bed in the middle of the night! Hitting someone required energy, and swinging one’s arms was extremely tiring, so she was drained in no time.

Chuckling, John raised his hands and grasped her shoulders before moving her off him by exerting slight force. Nonetheless, Sophia continued berating him while sitting on her heels on the bed, saying, “I was too soft-hearted in the past. I really should have lodged a police report against you! John Constance, judging from your conduct now, you really need to spend a few days in jail before you learn your lesson!” As she said this, she looked around in search of her cell phone.

However, John moved swifter than she did, reaching out and grabbing her wrist in one fell swoop. “You can lodge a police report later if you wish to do so, but I have a question for you now. I naturally have some misgivings since I took a flight back all this way. Come on, answer me first.”

Sophia tried pulling her hand back, but when several attempts failed, she simply gave up. She fixed her eyes on him. “Fine. I’m very much interested to know what it is that drove you to do such an unconscionable thing, so spit it out. I’m listening.”

Leaning close to her, John’s expression turned serious in the blink of an eye. “Have you really gotten together with Ian Morgan?” he asked.

“Yes, that’s right. Hadn’t I told you that I’m dating Ian?” Sophia sneered.

At this, John drew closer and lowered his voice. “Sophia Gwendolyn, be honest with me. Don’t spout off just to piss me off. Are you truly dating Ian Morgan for real?” His voice grew increasingly deep and soft as he spoke.

Due to the illumination of the bright moonlight and the negligible distance between them, Sophia could see his expression clearly. He was exceedingly solemn though one could also say that his gaze was tinged with a hint of affection. For that reason, Sophia suddenly couldn’t bring herself to casually admit something that had never happened despite having done so a moment ago. Pursing her lips, she stared at him. In her daze, she even seemed to sense the travel-weary vibes radiating off him.

Lifting a hand, John rested it on her head and stroked her gently. “You’re not, are you?”

“What has it got to do with you?” Sophia countered in a huff.

John chortled. “Of course, it has got something to do with me. As I’ve said, I’ll definitely kill you if you dare get together with someone else. You can only be mine, be it in the past, present, or future.”

“Bullsh*t!” Sophia just couldn’t hold herself back. After cursing him out, she added, “You seem to have forgotten that we’re divorced. And I don’t quite understand you, Mr. Constance. Are you angling for reconciliation with me now? I remember that you used to turn your nose up at me in the past.”

John’s expression stiffened slightly, and he then sighed. “I was blind in the past. Don’t take offense at me, please?”

I wonder if he’s making himself sound humble on purpose. Feeling a tad discomfited, Sophia inched back before changing the subject. “This is the last chance I’m giving you, so hurry up and leave. I’ll no longer show you any mercy if you were to do this again in the future.”

John wasn’t at all intimidated since she was, in fact, a paper tiger. While she seems vicious on the surface, she’s actually very soft-hearted. Thus, Ian Morgan probably did all those things on stage to coerce her into accepting him because he knows about her weakness!
