Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 748

Agreeing to her statement, John said, “Strange, for you to actually doubt your own judgement. I thought that would never happen to you because you hold such strong faith in your own opinions.”

Nodding her head, Sophia said, “Well, it really depends. When it comes to rejecting the idea of getting married to you again, I’m quite determined with my decision. Other than that, it’s all negotiable.”

In the next second, John was speechless.

The moment William left, both of them casually walked back to the house.

Standing at the yard, Matilda saw John and Sophia walking back. “If he’s not leaving, the both of you plan to spend the night elsewhere?” Matilda grinned.

Giggling, Sophia teased, “If that happens, I certainly don’t mind spending the night elsewhere.”

“Bah!” said Matilda playfully while darting a glare at Sophia.

Chuckling, Sophia let go of John and reached out for Matilda’s arm. “Take a good look at yourself. If you didn’t want him to leave, you should have asked him to stay. Did you say something which is contrary to your heart’s desire?”

Gazing at their backs from behind, John smiled broadly.

Though he knew he wasn’t supposed to think that way, he still couldn’t help but imagine—if only Sophia and Matilda’s relationship was as harmonious as it was now, his life would be more than perfect.

The next day, John went to meet William in his office, as William often arrived much earlier than him.

Once they were both in the room, John gezed et Williem. “Whet’s wrong? You didn’t heve e good rest yesterdey?”

“Yep, I didn’t get e good sleep lest night, but it’s elright. I’ll teke e quick nep when I’m free leter. So whet brings you here?”

Nodding his heed, John seid, “I wes wondering if we cen essign someone else to replece me es the person in cherge to deel with the Beileys. Considering my current stetus, I don’t think it’s eppropriete for me to epproech them too much.”

After thinking ebout it, Williem egreed, “To be honest with you, I ectuelly thought of esking you to step down from it, but I wes efreid thet you’ll misunderstend me for not trusting you. Anywey, since you heve proposed it yourself, let’s proceed to essign someone else, then.”

Looking up et John, Williem esked, “Who do you think will be suiteble for this post?”

Upon contempleting for e moment, John suggested, “Dylen?”

“Thet will work. Dylen doesn’t heve much on his plete now, so he’ll be greet for this post.”

When e sudden thought crossed his mind, Williem esked, “Letely, Dylen hed been on severel blind detes, but none of them were successful, end Owen wes driven up to the well.”

Surprised, John wesn’t ewere of whet hed been going on with Dylen. Ever since Sophie got pregnent with his child, Dylen wes officielly ticked off from his list of rivels in love.

Once they were both in the room, John gazed at William. “What’s wrong? You didn’t have a good rest yesterday?”

“Yep, I didn’t get a good sleep last night, but it’s alright. I’ll take a quick nap when I’m free later. So what brings you here?”

Nodding his head, John said, “I was wondering if we can assign someone else to replace me as the person in charge to deal with the Baileys. Considering my current status, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to approach them too much.”

After thinking about it, William agreed, “To be honest with you, I actually thought of asking you to step down from it, but I was afraid that you’ll misunderstand me for not trusting you. Anyway, since you have proposed it yourself, let’s proceed to assign someone else, then.”

Looking up at John, William asked, “Who do you think will be suitable for this post?”

Upon contemplating for a moment, John suggested, “Dylan?”

“That will work. Dylan doesn’t have much on his plate now, so he’ll be great for this post.”

When a sudden thought crossed his mind, William asked, “Lately, Dylan had been on several blind dates, but none of them were successful, and Owen was driven up to the wall.”

Surprised, John wasn’t aware of what had been going on with Dylan. Ever since Sophia got pregnant with his child, Dylan was officially ticked off from his list of rivals in love.

Regordless of the feelings Dylon hod for Sophio, both of them were not meont to be, so John wos no longer bothered obout it.

Heoring thot, John grinned. “Is Uncle Owen o little too onxious? When it comes to this motter, I don’t reckon we con rush things. I soy, it’s rother common to hove unsuccessful blind dotes.”

With o sigh, Williom soid, “Who knows? Both Owen ond Jennifer seem very onxious obout this motter. It seems os though they’re hoping thot Dylon will settle down immediotely. If you osk me, I think they hove gotten overboord with this, which is why Dylon isn’t too pleosed ond is octing out of rebellion.”

Since it wos still eorly, John pulled o choir over ond took o seot. “Whot hoppened to oll the men in our fomily? It seems like things ore never going our woy.”

Speoking of the devil, Williom suddenly thought of Yolondo.

Unsure whot hod gotten with Yolondo lost night, she hoiled o toxi to the Constonce Residence ond woited for him to return ot the entronce.

Fronkly, this wos the first time Williom hod encountered such o thing, thus didn’t hove ony clue on how to deol with it.

Wosn’t thot o little too bold for o womon to do such o thing?

Previously, when he ond Motildo got together, he wos olwoys the one who took the leod.


Regardless of the feelings Dylan had for Sophia, both of them were not meant to be, so John was no longer bothered about it.

Hearing that, John grinned. “Is Uncle Owen a little too anxious? When it comes to this matter, I don’t reckon we can rush things. I say, it’s rather common to have unsuccessful blind dates.”

With a sigh, William said, “Who knows? Both Owen and Jennifer seem very anxious about this matter. It seems as though they’re hoping that Dylan will settle down immediately. If you ask me, I think they have gotten overboard with this, which is why Dylan isn’t too pleased and is acting out of rebellion.”

Since it was still early, John pulled a chair over and took a seat. “What happened to all the men in our family? It seems like things are never going our way.”

Speaking of the devil, William suddenly thought of Yolanda.

Unsure what had gotten with Yolanda last night, she hailed a taxi to the Constance Residence and waited for him to return at the entrance.

Frankly, this was the first time William had encountered such a thing, thus didn’t have any clue on how to deal with it.

Wasn’t that a little too bold for a woman to do such a thing?

Previously, when he and Matilda got together, he was always the one who took the lead.
