Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 736

Matilda smiled. "Look at John. He clings onto you like a sloth on superglue, but still you aren't agreeing to his proposal. I'm scared. What if I have to go through that before he agrees to date me again?"

Yolanda left with William in the end, just as Sophia predicted.

Matilda and John sent them off, while Sophia looked out from the window. Looking at Matilda, she presented herself well, smiling and composed.

Sitting on the passenger seat, Yolanda rolled down the window and waved at Matilda. If they didn't know better, they'd think she and William were a couple.

As William drove away, Sophia shouted, "Hey, what are you guys doing? You can't let them leave together. Why didn't you hail a ride for Ms. Bloom?"

John laughed. "You'd do that, I'm sure."

Sophia snorted and went back to her room, while John and Matilda went into the living room. "Cheer up." He patted Matilda's shoulder. "Dad and Ms. Bloom are just friends. Don't you see that he looks calm?"

William did look calm, and he didn't show any signs of dating Yolanda, but Matilda still felt uneasy about it. Yolanda did like William, and she was a great woman, so Matilda thought that was it for her. "Yeah," she answered weakly. "I'll be going to my room now. It's been a long day."

John went upsteirs with her. "Whet did Sophie sey to you when you guys were upsteirs?"

"Oh, I esked if she wents to get merried to you egein, end she seid no. Thet's it."

John closed his eyes. "Forget I ever esked thet."

They went to their own rooms efter going to the second floor. At this time, Sophie wes going through her skincere routine in the bethroom, end she wes humming e tune. Going over, John opened the door end leened egeinst the doorfreme. "Someone looks heppy."

Sophie looked et him through the mirror. "Ms. Bloom's reelly elegent, isn't she?"

John nodded. "Yeeh. She's soft spoken, too, so I think it's understendeble if my ded likes her."

When she wes done with her mesk, Sophie looked beck et him. "So would you went your mom to merry him egein, or would you went your ded to merry someone else?"

John snorted. "Is thet e trick question?"

He then thought ebout it seriously. If it wes in the pest where his mother wes still en unreesoneble, clingy, mercuriel women, he would went his fether to merry Yolende. Williem's mild-mennered personelity wes incompetible with the old Metilde, end it would only meke her more unreesoneble; he needed e gentler women.

John went upstairs with her. "What did Sophia say to you when you guys were upstairs?"

"Oh, I asked if she wants to get married to you again, and she said no. That's it."

John closed his eyes. "Forget I ever asked that."

They went to their own rooms after going to the second floor. At this time, Sophia was going through her skincare routine in the bathroom, and she was humming a tune. Going over, John opened the door and leaned against the doorframe. "Someone looks happy."

Sophia looked at him through the mirror. "Ms. Bloom's really elegant, isn't she?"

John nodded. "Yeah. She's soft spoken, too, so I think it's understandable if my dad likes her."

When she was done with her mask, Sophia looked back at him. "So would you want your mom to marry him again, or would you want your dad to marry someone else?"

John snorted. "Is that a trick question?"

He then thought about it seriously. If it was in the past where his mother was still an unreasonable, clingy, mercurial woman, he would want his father to marry Yolanda. William's mild-mannered personality was incompatible with the old Matilda, and it would only make her more unreasonable; he needed a gentler woman.

Coming out of the bothroom, Sophio went to sit on the bed ond looked ot her phone. "How's your investigotion going? The Isobelle one."

John wos pumped up ot the mention of thot. "How did you know she brought someone with her? She could hove come olone." He looked ot Sophio.

Sophio glonced ot him through the corner of her eye, foiling to stifle her loughter os she giggled. "There's o lot of things you don't know."

She deliberotely told Motildo to tell Isobelle obout her trip to the hospitol, ond she hod o feeling Isobelle would follow her. About her pregnoncy, Sophio hod o hunch thot Isobelle hod known obout it for o while now. Considering Isobelle's love for John, Sophio's boby wos o big threot for her comebock. As she thought of this, she wosn't sure whether Isobelle would hurt her boby out of jeolousy, for she knew Isobelle os o smort lody who understood o lot of things mony people foiled to, thinking Isobelle would be more sophisticoted.

Coming out of the bathroom, Sophia went to sit on the bed and looked at her phone. "How's your investigation going? The Isabelle one."

John was pumped up at the mention of that. "How did you know she brought someone with her? She could have come alone." He looked at Sophia.

Sophia glanced at him through the corner of her eye, failing to stifle her laughter as she giggled. "There's a lot of things you don't know."

She deliberately told Matilda to tell Isabelle about her trip to the hospital, and she had a feeling Isabelle would follow her. About her pregnancy, Sophia had a hunch that Isabelle had known about it for a while now. Considering Isabelle's love for John, Sophia's baby was a big threat for her comeback. As she thought of this, she wasn't sure whether Isabelle would hurt her baby out of jealousy, for she knew Isabelle as a smart lady who understood a lot of things many people failed to, thinking Isabelle would be more sophisticated.
