Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 646


Sophia walked up to Logan with a smile. “With you here, I suppose it makes us a high-end shop.”

Chuckling, Logan didn’t stop working. “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for your arrival.”

Sophia stood beside him while saying, “I am late because I woke up late and spent some time lazing around.”

Logan regarded her in silence while she made herself a hamburger and some hot chocolate. After she had both, she sat down by the window. After Logan was finished with his task, he came over to her. “I asked Lorraine about Ian, and she told me that he wouldn’t have a problem making his debut, while his ranking indicates that he would probably make it to the top three.”

What Logan told her reminded Sophia of the fact that Ian called her last night, so she asked, “Did you tell him about what happened between John and me?”

Logan didn’t think it would be such a big deal. “Yeah, I did when we were chatting. What’s the matter? Should I not have told him?”

Pursing her lips, Sophia replied, “That’s not it. There’s nothing between John and me, so telling Ian about it made it sound like the opposite.”

Upon hearing what she said, Logan smacked his lips. “John can be quite stone-hearted, but the fact that he went after you all the way to your hometown showed that he is a worthy man. When you got back, he had been suggesting ways to help out the villagers back there. He wanted to do that as he was grateful that the villagers had been taking care as well as protecting you all this time. Sophia, although I prefer that you pick Ian, I have to acknowledge that John really had gone the distance by helping you like that.” Logan exhaled before going on, “I think you should be able to live a good life with either Ian or John, so you can choose to marry either of them.”

What the hell is he talking about? Sophia was opposed to the idea. I can’t just pick one as if I am shopping for goods! Besides, Logan sure holds me in an overly high regard. Who am I to choose either of them anyway?

Sophia had been chatting with Logan for some time before someone else came in, whom she recognized to be the man Robin was dating. The young man brought a lot of fruits while walking into the shop cheerfully. Seeing him, Robin seemed a little shy while asking, “Oh, why are you here?”

The young man scratched his head before answering, “I was passing by, so I figured I could drop by to check on you.”

Since he liked Robin, I suppose he would drop by no matter how far he needed to travel, Sophia mused.

Meanwhile, Logan was startled by the young man’s presence. “Robin, is he your boyfriend?”

A blush crept on Robin’s face while she stuttered, all the while wondering if she should admit it. The young man was also blushing profusely when he greeted everyone, “Hello.”

Sophia returned the greeting before looking at Robin. “Since we haven’t got much to do, we can close the shop earlier so you can go have fun.”

Slightly embarrassed, Robin said, “I-It’s alright, seeing that we’re not going anywhere.”

On the other hand, Logan was far more direct in his approach. “We can watch over the shop while you go on a date. This young man isn’t here to help keep watch anyway, so you should just leave.”

While Robin’s face was beet red, the young man seemed to fare better. Glancing at Robin, he suggested, “We should be leaving, then. I bought tickets to a movie, so I’d like to have a meal with you before we go to the movies.”

Watching their interactions, Sophia was suddenly envious of them. Isn’t this nice? I could feel that love is in the air...

In the end, Robin left with the young man shyly, while Sophia drank coffee in the shop with Logan as the latter updated her on what happened when she wasn’t around.
