Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 923

At this moment, John's phone vibrated twice, so he took it out and looked at it before getting up. He said to Sophia, "I'll go to the study room. You should sleep early. I need to take care of something."

Sophia didn't look at him either as she grunted. "Carry on with your work."

Then, John left the room. After a few seconds, Sophia put down the phone and pulled a long face.

This jerk is giving me an attitude today! I suppose it has really been a long time since I've dealt with him. Now, he's forgotten where he stands!

She got up to wash, then came back to the bed and turned off the lights. There was nothing particularly interesting on the phone, so she might as well sleep.

Meanwhile, John didn't stay in the study for too long. He only made two phone calls, read two messages, and then checked a few documents sent by his subordinates.

When he came back from the study, he froze as soon as he opened the bedroom door.

Sophia had turned off the lights and gone to bed.

Moving toward the bed without turning on the lights, John whispered to Sophia, but there was no response from her. She really didn't feel discomfort in her heart since she could fall asleep so early.

Sighing helplessly, John softened his footsteps as he went to the bathroom to shower, then came back and lay on the bed.

Sophia was lying with her back to him. As John continued to think about the past, he pulled her into his arms. The woman turned over out of habit and leaned into his arms. She then seemed half-awake as she raised her head and muttered, "You're quite cold."

After saying that, she rubbed up against him before getting into a comfortable position and falling asleep again.

Raising his hand, John touched her head and whispered, "You're a really difficult woman. Why is it so hard to make you jealous?" He didn't know if Sophia heard it, but there was no response.

Although Sophia slept well on this night, John felt quite distressed; unnecessarily distressed.

The next day, John woke up first, but Sophia was still sleeping. He kept his movements quiet throughout the time he was in the room. After a quick morning routine, he went downstairs.

Old Mrs. Constance didn't come down on time on this day. He heard from the servant that she didn't have a good rest last night, so she would come down late for breakfast.

So, John was the only one at the dinner table.

William didn't come back last night at all. It seemed that he had listened to John's suggestion and really planned to live with Matilda from now on.

The phone rang while John was eating. It was none other than Isabelle. She said that she had found some documents stored by her grandfather and wanted to send them to John when she had the time.

Now that she was no longer working in the company, she had all the time in the world. She asked John when he would be free so that they could set a time for her to hand over the documents.

Now that she was no longer working in the company, she had all the time in the world. She asked John when he would be free so that they could set a time for her to hand over the documents.

Since John had several meetings on this day, he wasn't sure if he would be free at noon. So, he thought for a while and said that he could meet up with her after work. Isabelle didn't sound very panicky about i either and agreed to it.

After breakfast, John left for work. He was really busy with work all day. Since he had been too laid back some time ago, he had a lot of backlog to finish at this time.

For the whole day, he didn't think about anything else and didn't call Sophia either. It wasn't until the evening that he stopped his work and took a deep breath.

Checking his phone, he realized that Sophia didn't call him either.

Does she truly think that I would be fine, or does she not care about me at all?

Actually, John had wanted to make Sophia sit down for a talk and ask her about last night, but without that marriage certificate, he kept feeling that he wasn't in the position to ask too much out of her.

Who says that the marriage certificate is useless? Look at how useful it would be right now.
