Next One Is a Babe Chapter 628

Sophia didn’t know Walter well, as she had no memory of him at all. However, the fact that he kept on

quibbling despite being reprimanded by the crowd was indication that he might be a somewhat shady

character.

Besides, Sophia noticed that a savage look flashed across Walter’s face when he was riled up after

being reprimanded. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was at a disadvantage, he might very well have

assaulted her on the spot.

Heaving a sigh, Sophia figured that after spending all those years apart from one another, they never

had much of a relationship to begin with. If things went awry between them, Walter might very well

assault her, which was a cause for hesitation on Sophia’s part.

Meanwhile, John crouched down before her slowly. “Considering the circumstances, I will be worried if I

leave you here alone. Sophia, please come with me. Besides, we will also be able to find jobs for the

villagers when we get back. Whoever that wishes to come with us can come. I will take care of

everything when we get there, so you have nothing to worry about.”

Staring at him, Sophia pouted. He reached out to hold her hand. “Judging from what I saw earlier, I

suppose the future will be laden with trouble, so you shouldn’t stay here. The villagers won’t be able to

defend you all the time. Mr. Gwendolyn was obviously planning to do this for the long term, which will

leave you in a vulnerable position.”

Sophia recognized what John told her to be true. No matter what he did, he was still legally her father,

so the villagers wouldn’t be able to do much to help if he were to bring it to court. Moreover, she was

pregnant, so she couldn’t possibly butt heads with him. Thus, it only took her a moment before coming

to a decision. “Alright, we will go back.”

Relief washed over John when he got her reply, because when he came after her, he wasn’t sure if he

could persuade her to return with him. If she were to insist on staying, he could only leave the village

alone. He couldn’t possibly extend his stay indefinitely, as his work in the company was piling up while

he kept her company. The fact that Walter came after her was in fact an encouraging factor for her to

leave.

After that, John had Sophia get some rest before leaving the house. She lay down without question as

she wasn’t intending on asking about his plans. Aside from that, her stomach was making her feel

somewhat uncomfortable, so she tried to soothe herself by taking a few deep breaths. She also

realized she was being inconsiderate to the child she was carrying by travelling such a long distance in

order to return to her village.

nor did she know when he came back. When she woke up, John was already cleaning up the house.

As they might not return for a long time, he packed everything that they didn’t need, which made the

house seem more organized. Sophia stood by the door while watching him pack. “Is everything

settled?”

Turning around to look at her, he smiled. “It’s done. I’ve already settled everything regarding the road

paving, as well as finding out the people who would want to leave with us. Buddy is one of them, so he

will help get the other people. After I get the full name list, I will have Zack book their tickets.”

Since they were a large group of people with a lot of luggage in tow, they would be travelling by train.

Meanwhile, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief, as it would be better for her to take a train since she was

pregnant. John worked efficiently, and with everything soon settled, they began discussing the exact

date when everybody would leave.

There would be around eight people coming with them, which shook up the village. A lot of people

started coming to Sophia’s house to inquire on the job scope. Not only were the men doing so, but

even the women were considering leaving the village to make themselves a living, as staying in such a

remote village would amount to nothing. However, Sophia couldn’t possibly bring everybody with her;

she was but an ordinary human being.
