Next One Is a Babe Chapter 232

Sophia wore a frown as she questioned, “Why are you dining with us?”

Zack was visibly confused by her question. “Do you mean I should watch you eat after all the pain I

went through to bring you food? Of course I’m going to dine with you two!”

Upon turning to meet Zack, John said, “I noticed you seem to be less afraid of me.”

Zack let out a giggle. “I noticed that I always feel more balanced while in her presence. Boss, didn’t you

notice that your temper gets better whenever she’s around?” He said that while glancing at Sophia.

A frown formed on John’s face as he stared at Zack for a while. “No, I don’t think so.”

With his bowl in hand, Zack began eating without a care in the world. “It’s true! I don’t lie! Even your

expressions look different when she’s with you!”

John let out a sneer while he retorted, “You’d better find time to go to an ophthalmologist.”

While lowering his voice, Zack told Sophia, “I nailed it. It’s just that he never admits that I’m right.”

She could feel something was tugging at her heartstrings when she glanced at John. Memories of his

gentleness and patience toward her earlier this day made her heart flutter, which was probably

because he rarely did so. Such a rare show of his compassion was enough to make her heart beat for

him again. After letting out a sigh, Sophia dug into her meal.

Neither her nor John were in a good mood, so none of them spoke when they ate. While Zack tried to

strike up a conversation, the fact that nobody would respond to him was a little underwhelming. They

keep on doing this... It feels like the Cold War all again, and it’s frustrating. They’re both grown ups, so

why are they acting so childishly? Zack thought to himself.

They finished their meal in silence, after which Sophia had Zack help her up instead of letting John

carry her. She sent him off as soon as they arrived at her room, but he turned to look at her while

standing by the door, then he said in a lowered voice, “Sophia, I can see that you love Boss.”

Sophia froze on the spot as she wasn’t sure what his intentions were. After some thought, Zack

continued, “Although you two are divorced, it doesn’t mean that you’ve lost your chance. You still live

within close proximity of him, so it’s not impossible for your ex-husband to fall in love with you once

again if you put in the effort.”

Sophia stared at him as if she was staring at a lunatic. “Are you drunk?”

He clicked his tongue before chiding, “Why must you be so stubborn? Must I say it so bluntly?” After

checking that John was nowhere to be seen in the corridor, he went on, “Isabelle obviously fancies your

ex-husband, so are you going to let them get together?”

With no intention of hiding her disgust toward Isabelle, Sophia shook her head. “Absolutely not. Didn’t

you see how we fight?”

With no intention of hiding her disgust toward Isabelle, Sophia shook her head. “Absolutely not. Didn’t

you see how we fight?”

Zack took over the conversation instantly. “That’s the whole point! You’ll have to keep John by your side

if you don’t want him to get together with Isabelle! Simply watching out for her is not enough. I have to

say, you still have a chance when John has yet to fall for Isabelle.”

However, Sophia said nothing, which made Zack a little anxious. “Oh, you little—Don’t you get me?

Aren’t you normally the shrewd one? So why is it that you can be so dumb?”

She shot him a glare, as she never liked being belittled, but Zack rambled on before she could even

open up to retort him. “The sole reason that they still aren’t together is because John doesn’t like

Isabelle! All would be too late after he develops feelings for her, so all you have to do now is to prevent

that from happening! So how should you do that? The easiest way would be to have him fall for

someone else, such as you! Do you understand what I mean?”
