Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 680

Sophia smiled all the while. Even after what had happened, she wanted Ian to live a happy life.

Meanwhile, John looked at her but said nothing when she showed no change in emotion. There was scarcely any reason obsessing over that matter at this point. He didn’t think Sophia would go away now that she was pregnant.

Everyone stopped talking and dug in when lunch was served, and John’s mood became better at the thought of the baby. He even ordered some wine, much to the worry of some people there. “I’ll get someone to drive me back if I get too drunk,” he said.

Sophia frowned. “Why didn’t you call Zack over?”

To that, John smiled. “He doesn’t have time for us now that he’s dating. And I don’t think we should disturb him.”

Sophia knew Zack had someone he liked, but she never did ask him about the progress. Zack’s a reliable guy. He’s a prankster sometimes, but reliable nonetheless.

Being the party animal, Logan would drink whenever and wherever he liked, so he poured himself a glass the moment he took the wine. When he was about to give Sophia some, Matilda stopped him. “She can’t have that for now. Her condition forbids it.”

Logan froze. When he heard that, he looked at Sophia for a moment, confused, then he realized what Matilda meant. “True, true. Your belly’s acting up, so stay away from alcohol.”

Robin didn’t know Sophia was pregnant, so she huddled closer. “Are you still unwell?”

Sophia smiled. “A bit, but it’s fine.”

Robin gave her a worried look. “You have to take care of yourself. Gastric problems aren’t to be joked around. You don’t want it to worsen.”

Sophia merely responded with a nod as she smiled.

Fabian sipped from his glass of wine and gave Sophia a faint smile. When Sophia looked back, she raised her glass and gesticulated at him, then she finished her drink. After that, Fabian turned to John. “You’ve been taking care of Sophia well. Are you planning on courting her again?”

John said honestly, “I am working on it, but she’s not making it easy.”

Sophia snorted. “Go on then. Tell them how hard you’re having it.”

John looked at her and went back to drinking.

Matilda clicked her tongue. “What a coward.”

Logan’s eyes widened in shock at Matilda’s response. She’s getting less haughty now, huh? This is really unexpected.

Matilda ignored Logan’s reaction and only looked at John. Even though he was her son, she was disgusted at how he was acting. However, she was reminded of William. He’s just like his father. William acted the same way back then.

Since Sophia had a late breakfast, she only had a few bites before putting her knife and fork down.

Matilda was concerned. “Are these not to your liking? I’ll get some other dish for you.”

Sophia wiped her lips. “It’s fine. I’m not too hungry, so this is enough. Can’t have too much.”

Matilda paused. “Alright then. Tell Ms. Cannon to make some soup for you when you get home. She’s a master in soup brewing. Remember the one I gave you last time? She made that one.”

Sophia remembered it, and it was indeed delicious, so she nodded. “Sure. I love the soup she makes.”

Matilda and Robin stopped eating after a short while, leaving only the men digging in.
