Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 860

William was surprised to notice Matilda’s change as well. She used to be a stuck-up lady who didn’t have much to talk about, even with someone her age, but now, she is making jokes with Logan. It feels like she has become a different person. Meanwhile, Richard didn’t chime in since he wasn’t close with them, but even so, he tried to fit in and laughed with everyone when they joked.

As soon as the wine was served, Logan happily filled in the glass of every gentleman present. I know they’re all driving home later, but how can they not drink on this special occasion? After that, William took off his vest and said in a relaxed tone, “I’ll get someone to take care of my car. Man! If this is not the best occasion to get drunk, then when should it be?”

Logan replied, “Of course! Come, help yourself! If you’re too drunk to move, you could always bunk down in my room.”

That’s thoughtful of him! Matilda turned around and gazed at Richard. “This is a wonderful occasion, so you should drink some as well. When we’re done, just get someone to pick you up.”

Richard responded with an affirmative hum. “Oh, don’t worry about me. I could take a cab back anyway, plus my home isn’t too far away either.”

Now that I’ve taken care of these two old men, the rest shouldn’t be much of a problem. Soon, Logan ordered some fruit juice for the ladies in the room. Before the dishes were served, he raised his glass up high and began an artistic speech. As he sincerely started his opening, he first talked about the negative doubts that had always revolved around him. Then, he told everyone about his simple yet unhealthy social life, which was full of fair-weathered friends, until he met some true friends when his life took a turn for the better. After that, he went on to talk about Ian, Sophia, John, and Robin, but before he mentioned Matilda, he gazed at her and embarrassedly chuckled. “I need to be honest with you, Madam Flintstone. I never really liked you because the hatred was mutual, and I could see that.” A few seconds later, he added, “Tell us, pretty lady. Did you ever tell John to stay away from me back then?”

Matilda covered her face and giggled with a soft voice. “Tell me about it! Guess what? I don’t even like who I used to be either.” As for Logan’s question, Matilda directly admitted it and said, “I was afraid you’d be a bad influence for John.”

Logan snorted in response, behaving like a child as he answered, “Do you really believe your son was a good boy all along? Come on! You should have probably spent more time with him.”

Soon, he shifted his gaze to William and realized they didn’t know each other well since they had only met a few times. Even though he didn’t like Matilda back then, Logan harbored no grudge toward William, thanks to the latter’s easy-going nature. Therefore, he didn’t mention how close he was to William, only stating his mature behavior. Nonetheless, he was hoping that he could be more light-minded like Matilda.

On the other hand, William responded with a nod. “Yeah, I think it’s time for me to change too.” After that, Logan mentioned Lincoln and Richard, whom he barely knew anything about since they had only met once at his own club’s entrance. However, he courteously welcomed Richard to swing by anytime for fun. Meanwhile, Lincoln had been considered by Logan as one of his own close friends since he was marrying Robin. After mentioning everyone, he finally sat down and sighed. “By the way, Ian should be in the limelight today. I’m sorry that I stole it, Bro.”
