The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1169

Logan slapped his thigh. “Let’s go to my place instead of ordering takeout.”

Pursing her lips, Lola nodded. “That’s a good idea.” It was the first time she was singing the same tune as him.

Since John didn’t want to continue speaking of the topic earlier, he echoed, “Sure. Grandma, let’s go together.”

Old Mrs. Constance deliberated for a moment before beaming. “Okay! I haven’t been to Logan’s place either.”

When the lot of them arrived at Logan’s clubhouse, a private room was already prepared for them. John and

Sophia led Old Mrs. Constance in. On the other hand, Logan remained standing at the clubhouse entrance and took

out a packet of cigarettes. After a brief contemplation, Lola didn’t follow the others in but retraced her steps and

walked over to him. “Thank you for today.”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Logan turned and looked at her, his gaze earnest and solemn. For some inexplicable

reason, Lola abruptly recalled the hug he gave her earlier in that dilapidated farmhouse after sprinting over to

her. It was very warm and reassuring. Giving a soft cough, she asked, “Why are you looking at me like this? I’m

thanking you.”

The corners of his mouth lifting, Logan suddenly reached out and caressed her head. “But I don’t think I protected

you all that well.copy right hot pub

” This time, Lola didn’t dodge. Flashing him a smile, she said, “You’ve already done very well. I believe that you’ll do

even better in the future.” Logan sighed. “Alright, go on in first. I’ll join you in a while after smoking a cigarette.”

Her lips pressed tightly, Lola stared at him for an eternity before muttering, “Idiot.” He actually didn’t grasp the

meaning behind my remark! Sure enough, I can’t have too high an expectation toward this man’s brain! Logan

arched a brow. What’s wrong with her? Whirling around, Lola went to the private room. In there, Sophia didn’t bring

up the Baileys again. Rather, she asked about the current situation over at the Blackwells, upon which Old Mrs.

Constance heaved a sigh. “Everything is fine, but Fabian is rather worrying.” Sophia couldn’t comment on Fabian’s

matter. Sometimes, love can complete a person, but at times, it can also destroy a person. This isn’t something

that can be rationalized. I’m sure he can’t help his dispirited condition now. At this time, Lola pushed open the door

and walked in. Turning to look at her, Sophia smiled and beckoned to her to sit beside her. She was truly grateful to

her considering the great risk she took for her sake on this day. Lola was all smiles as she sat down beside Sophia.

“I’m truly feeling fine, so don’t worry.

My body is conditioned to take all kinds of abuse.” Back when she went undercover, she’d been through everything

except taking drugs. Her life had been always on the line, so this was considered nothing to her. In the dark about

all that, Old Mrs. Constance lifted her eyes and looked at Lola. Truly, the more I look at her, the more I like

her! After mulling it over for a while, she lowered voice and queried, “Are you dating the Jefferson kid now?” Lola

froze, her expression turning a tad embarrassed. “N-No.” Mild exasperation flooded Sophia. “How could you be so

direct, Grandma? Miss Hunt would be too mortified to answer since you were so blunt.” Bursting into laughter, Old

Mrs. Constance clapped her hands. “Ah, it’s my mistake! I asked the wrong question.” Subsequently, her tone

changed. “Actually, Logan is quite a decent person. You might think that he’s bad-tempered, but it’s not his fault.

After all, he’s been spoiled by his father and sisters all these years. Trust me, he’s not a bad person at heart. I’m

quite a good judge of character after having lived for so many years.”
