Next One Is a Babe Chapter 392

Chapter 392John didn’t have a good temper, but he used to keep it in check. At most, he was just unfriendly, but
now he would hurl things around. Whenever Zack went to John’s office now, he would be greeted with
documents sprawled on the ground, while John would be smoking beside the window, obviously
frustrated. He was vastly different from how he was before.
Sophia frowned. “Why are you telling me that? I don’t think I have anything to do with that.”
Zack chuckled. “If you say so. He did this to himself, really. You’re doing good ignoring him.”
Refusing to talk about this, Sophia shifted the topic, saying, “I went to the shop, and the renovations
are almost done.”
Zack grunted. “Yeah. It’ll probably be done in two days. They’ll brush up on the details, and you’ll have
to let the place air out for a few days. They used recyclable materials, but it’s still harmful.”
Sophia nodded. “Understood. Tell me when the renovation is done, then I’ll make the payment.”
“Your ex-husband has paid for it, so it’s fine,” Zack quickly replied.
Sophia clicked her tongue. Of all the things that could happen. Even so, she said, “Just tell me the cost
and I’ll pay John back. I don’t need him to do this, so just let me pay.”
After a pause, Zack said, “I’ll ask him after everything’s done. If you still want to pay him, that’s your
choice. Let’s see what he says.” novelbinSophia grunted, and after a while of small talk, she ended the call. Feeling bored, she went to read the
news online. As expected, the news about the Constances had less coverage now that they chose to
ignore it. Comments were still coming in, but at a smaller magnitude now.
John and Isabelle were handling their own companies, so all the news outlets could capture was how
they were working. With nothing to go on, the media could only conclude that they weren’t affected by
public opinion. Now everyone would think that the earlier reports were just speculations. At this, Sophia
smiled and put her phone down. It’s going to blow over soon, and I can get on with my life.
On the other hand, John went home after work, while William got back sooner than he did. When John
looked around to see if his mother was here, Belinda said, “Stop looking around. She didn’t come.”
John looked at William, but before he could say anything, William said, “Your mother’s staying with her
family. We’ve decided to go through the paperwork next Monday, but we’ll keep it a secret until the time
is ripe.”
John pursed his lips, not replying. William didn’t look too happy, obviously upset that he had to get a
divorce at this age.
At the side, Belinda sighed. “Don’t think too much about it,” she told William. “If Matilda can change,
you guys can get back together, but if she can’t, then no harm in getting a divorce.”
John waited for a while before going to the dining room. He had no comments about his parents’
divorce. They were already adults, so he expected them to know what they were doing. Plus, they had
more experience than he did, so there was no need for his opinion or comment here. William followed John into the dining room a while later, but he had no appetite. After looking at the
food served on the table, he turned around and went out. “I won’t be eating today.”
