Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 76

After waiting for a while, Zack was still nowhere to be seen. As such, they knew what this was about.

Sophia sneered, and one could not tell if that was sarcasm or not. "It might be harder for you to find a girlfriend in the future."

Even though Zack never dared to confront people head-on, he was really good at working things out behind the scene. However, John did not seem to be bothered by this. "I'll probably be single for a good while."

Sophia understood his point as they did not know when they could announce their divorce to the public, so before that happened he could not start another relationship anytime soon.

If an outsider found out about their divorce, it would be hard for them to explain.

Actually, many did not really care what the truth was. They would only believe in what they chose to believe.

At this point, Sophia felt somewhat happy for some reason.

Even if Isabelle wanted to be with him, that was not going to happen anytime soon.

This felt good.

From that point onward, the two of them stopped talking. Meanwhile, many around them were running around and laughing.

Sophia thought that she would probably never return to this place again, no matter what the circumstances would be, as all her memories of this place were unpleasant, though, they were not particularly horrible.

As the people around them gradually left, Sophia turned around. "Let's go. We should get some rest tonight as we have an early start tomorrow."

John grunted and turned around, leaving for the hotel with her.

When the two were walking toward the elevator, they saw that singer with his guitar on his back.

When the singer saw them, Sophia smiled and greeted him, "Hello. Are you just about to start working?"

The singer smiled as he saw her. "Yes. I was caught up in something earlier, so I have to start a little later today."

Sophia nodded. "I'm leaving tomorrow. It's a shame that we're probably never going to see each other anymore."

The singer echoed, "That's a shame indeed."

At this point, Sophia waggled her phone. "Whenever you visit any nice places, please remember to share them on Facebook."

It was a rare sight to see the singer laugh. "You too."

Sophia then waved at him. "Of course. Well, I'm going to go now. See you later."

The singer grunted. "See you."

They walked past each other and never looked back.

Many a time, this sort of encounter and the emotions involved while on a trip were fleeting.

After a few days, those feelings would disappear.

After entering the elevator, John leaned on the wall and waited until the elevator started moving before saying, "You two seem to get along well."

Sophia grunted. "He makes me feel comfortable."

As of now, she could still vividly recall the look on the singer's face when he sang ballads in some foreign language; he looked like a prince who had lost everything.

There was a moment in time when she saw loneliness in his eyes, but she was never right about people.

However, it did not hurt in this instance as that perception helped her to be touched by his singing.

John narrowed his eyes and stared at Sophia for a good while before pursing his lips and nodding. "You are such a naïve woman."

"I guess so." Sophia did not refute. "Otherwise, why was it so easy for me to agree to marry you?"

John raised his eyebrows. "Did I trick you into it?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia turned around and earnestly looked him in the eye. "Didn't you?"

The promises he made to Old Mr. Constance about taking care of her for the rest of her life were genuine.

Of course, this was not entirely a lie to her; he was mainly lying to Old Mr. Constance as John did not even think she was worthy of his lies.

She was never in his heart, so naturally, he was not bothered about lying to her.

At this point, he felt even more conflicted.

Sophia turned away from him. "Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore. I don't know how much longer I'll have to live with you. So, we should try to keep things peaceful."

These words pierced through his heart as he really did not know how much longer he would have to face her.

After spending these couple of days together, he always found interactions with Sophia to be rather awkward.

It was not a pleasant feeling. His greatest hope was that they could interact with each other just like before the divorce.
