The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1185

Logan stood in the courtyard for some time, only turning around and returning to the house when everyone had

left. Mr. Hunt then went over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Come with me, Logan. I’ve got something to

discuss with you.” Putting away the hostility emanating from him, Logan docilely followed Mr. Hunt into the room.

Lola was now at a complete loss as to what her father was trying to do. Frowning, she turned and stared at Mrs.

Hunt. “Is Dad scheming something? Look at how suspicious he is. I just have a feeling that he has a ploy of some

sort.” However, Mrs. Hunt merely whirled around and went back to her cooking without saying a single word.

Logan and Mr. Hunt talked for a good while in the room. No one knew what they actually discussed, but they both

seemed to be in high spirits when they came out. Skulking over to Logan, Lola asked, “What did the two of you talk

about?”

Logan merely put a finger to his lips and made a shushing sound. “It’s a secret.” He acted all mysterious.

Lola’s gaze shifted between him and Mr. Hunt several times. At this time, Mrs.

Hunt hollered, demanding that she come into the kitchen and help her cook. She obviously doesn’t want me to ask

too many questions. She just had a feeling that her parents must have discussed something while she wasn’t at

home. The matter must have been somehow related to me, yet they don’t want me to know what it is. This is

rather worrying. While Mr. Hunt was otherwise distracted, she pointed a finger at Logan. Lowering her voice, she

warned, “Watch out. Let me tell you, I’ll kill you if you dare do anything behind my back.” Logan merely smiled

without saying anything. Nothing suspicious happened during lunch. Since they were going to visit Old Mrs. Hunt’s

grave and burn incense paper later, everyone ate rather quickly, and there wasn’t much conversation at the table

either. When they’d finished eating, Mrs. Hunt took out a large bag from another room. In there were incense

paper and also hell banknotes. Old Mrs. Hunt passed away a long time ago when the village hadn’t yet progressed

to having a cemetery or cremating the dead, so she was simply buried on the mountain. After so many years, her

grave was almost leveled, so Lola definitely wouldn’t be able to find it on her own. She’d thought that it’d only be

her and her father, but Logan unexpectedly came over and took the bag from her. “Let’s go.” Lola exclaimed in

puzzlement, but Mr. Hunt then came out and said, “Let’s go.” It’s blatantly obvious that they’ve discussed this! She

sucked in a breath.

But when did they do so? They first took Logan’s car and drove until the foot of the mountain. The car definitely

wouldn’t make it up the mountain, so they needed to go on foot. Lola was quite fit, so she didn’t need any help. Mr.

Hunt, on the other hand, had to take a rest from time to time. Holding his arm with a hand, Logan supported him up

the mountain. Mr. Hunt searched for a good while before he finally found Old Mrs. Hunt’s grave. There was no

tombstone, merely a piece of wooden board with her name in black marker pen and nothing else staked on top of

the dirt patch. They then burned the incense paper and hell banknotes. Lola and her father knelt before the small

dirt patch. After deliberating for a moment, Logan also went to his knees beside Lola. When he did, Lola’s brows

furrowed. “You can wait for me at the side.” However, Logan didn’t respond, merely kneeling there with his back

ramrod straight, staring at the simple grave marker. Mr. Hunt didn’t find it inappropriate for him to do so either.

After prostrating himself before the grave, he even started introducing Logan to Old Mrs. Hunt as he burned

incense paper.
