Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 849

Shooting his son a gaze, William didn't react impatiently like he usually would. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

John then stood before William's desk and continued staring at him. "So, I assume you had lunch with my mom just now. That means you met her, right?"

In the face of a question like this, William would usually avoid answering it due to embarrassment. This time, however, he seemed to be acting naturally as he directly responded with an affirmative grunt.

Taken aback, John confusedly asked, "You went to the Flintstone Residence, didn't you?"

William looked up and met John's gaze. "Nope."

John was instantly baffled. "If you didn't go to the Flintstone Residence, how did you meet up with Mom?" After saying that, he took a brief moment to ponder on the situation. Then, he glared at his father. "Don't tell me Mom stood Richard up just to go meet you?"

William didn't respond, but even so, John could guess what the answer would likely be. After a few moments of silence, John clicked his tongue and said, "You both are really..." He intentionally left his sentence hanging.

In the meantime, William took a look at the time and said, "Alright, it's time to get back to work. So, you might want to go back to your office now. I'll be busy in the afternoon."

Oh yeah, that's for sure. You have a whole stack of papers waiting for you to go through. Maybe you shouldn't have gone for such a long lunch break. John nodded and said, "I suppose you intend to remarry Mom, right? Actually, I believe things will work out better for you if you'd directly express your thoughts instead of sounding out Mom's thoughts. After all, Mom is quite a straightforward person herself, so there is really no need for you both to beat around the bush."

Nevertheless, John's opinion was met with silence as William only quietly looked down at his papers. It looks like my advice goes in one ear and out the other, so maybe I should save my breath. After that, he walked out of his father's office, suddenly chuckling when something crossed his mind as he stood at the doorway.

Meanwhile, Sophia returned to her room and lay in her bed, scrolling through her phone to kill boredom. Soon, she found Logan's missed call and was reminded of his recent bad mood due to the humiliation he suffered from Lola. Therefore, she immediately gave Logan a call, and her friend took a while before picking it up. Then, she heard the man's deep voice. "Hey, Sophia."

Sophia responded with a grunt and caringly asked, "I'm sorry that I missed your call earlier because I was asleep. How are you feeling now? Still upset?"

In fact, Logan wasn't upset but was rather bothered by the matter. He then told Sophia that he had gone to the hospital earlier that day to confront Lola for what she had done to him, only to replace that she had been discharged. Because of that, he didn't feel happy about it.

Then, he decided to try his luck and headed over to Lola's gym in the hope that he could bump into her by chance, only to be disappointed once more even though he had already anticipated the chance of failure. However, as he was leaving the gym, he saw a few men armed with sticks arriving at the place. Logan was no stranger to trouble, so he could immediately tell that these people were here to cause trouble.

Standing at the exit, he was hesitant to interfere, but he soon gave up the idea when he recalled Lola's menacing look. After that, Logan hit the road, and as he drove from the gym back to his club, he kept convincing himself that Lola must have made herself some enemies. Thus, he now thought that it was considered normal for someone to go looking for her. Putting aside the sensitive nature of her profession, she was bound to make some enemies due to her personality.
