Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 826

Matilda nodded. “Yes. He said that he had accidentally split the curtain in his home yesterday, so he wanted me to choose a new one with him. Initially, I didn’t want to go, but my mom agreed to his request for me, so I’m left with no choice now.”

After that, she gave Logan a glance. “What’s wrong with him? He seems displeased.” At that instant, she noticed the bruise on his face, so she frowned. “Did he accidentally bump into any object or something?”

Sure enough, no one would have imagined that Logan was attacked. Even his father doesn’t dare to lay a hand on him, for Logan will certainly retaliate. Why would anyone have the courage to punch him in the face? Sophia thought.

Logan turned to look at Sophia, who replied, “Oh, after we had breakfast, he crashed into the glass door because he wasn’t paying attention. You can see how hard he hurt himself.”

Having no idea of what had happened earlier, Matilda trusted her words. After examining the bruise, she commented, “Poor thing. The bruise looks serious.”

Feeling uneasy, Logan touched his face and looked away. Since he was in a bad mood, he didn’t suggest playing poker even when they were around.

Sitting beside him, Matilda said, “I’m surprised that you didn’t invite us to play poker today.”

After letting out a sigh, Logan replied, “No. Considering the state I’m in, I’ll be destroyed by the rest of you in the game.”

Matilda laughed. “Even if you’re energetic, you will still be destroyed by the rest of us.” When she didn’t get a response from him, Matilda was surprised.

Logan wasn’t a man who would accept criticisms. Normally, when he was criticized, he would rebuke that person immediately. It was rare for him to simply fall silent after being mocked.

Staring at him, Matilda decided against voicing her doubt, even though she was curious.

Knowing that Logan wasn’t in the mood, Sophia started asking Matilda about the man the latter was going to date.

Looking embarrassed, Matilda replied, “It isn’t a date. We’re just going to meet up and have a chat. Seriously, this is not a date.”

Amused by the look on her face, Sophia said, “Since the both of you are adults, it doesn’t have to be said out clearly. Even if you don’t think it’s a date, the man may think otherwise. What if he thinks that you’ve agreed to go out with him because you’re somewhat fond of him? What will you do?”

Upon heaving a sigh, Matilda said, “Yesterday, I made it clear to him that it was my mom who had arranged the date, and I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. However, he said that he could understand the situation I was in and insisted that we could start getting in touch as friends first.”

With her lips curled up, Sophia shook her head. “This man is smart. I have a feeling that if you keep in touch with him, you will be put at a disadvantage.”

Matilda was a rather simple-minded woman, while the man was obviously a sophisticated and experienced man, so she probably wouldn’t be able to gain an upper hand in their contact with each other.

Not minding it one bit, Matilda replied, “It’s fine. I don’t intend to get in touch with him frequently anyway. I just want my mom to stop nagging me now.” Then, she went on to talk about the man’s background.

The man was divorced. After his former wife fell in love with a foreigner, she brought their kid with her to settle in another country. He had remained single for many years now.

Although he ran a successful business, his achievement wasn’t comparable to William’s. While William inherited the company from his father, the man started from scratch. Hence, the man could be considered to be more successful compared to other entrepreneurs.

Upon learning his background, Sophia grunted. “It seems that he’s a nice guy.”

Matilda laughed. “Whether he’s nice or not, I won’t get together with him.” Although the man is polite and gentle, he just lacks a certain quality that I like. Anyway, he’s not my cup of tea, Matilda thought. A while later, her phone started ringing.
