The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1069

The lad merely chuckled. Logan then climbed into the car and turned to gaze out the window before finally closing his eyes, retracting his gaze.

Early the next morning, he called the florist and had them send a bouquet of roses to Jasmine, giving them her address. Then, he settled himself in the clubhouse and found a few people to play poker with him.

Thus, he was playing poker when Jasmine called, thanking him for the flowers in a cheerful voice. Still concentrating on his hand, Logan grunted in acknowledgment before asking, “Do you like them?”

“Of course. Girls love flowers, after all,” Jasmine answered.

Logan chuckled. “Really?”

Jasmine initially wanted to ask him out for lunch, but she then heard voices calling out ‘four of a kind’ and ‘two pair.’ Realizing that he was playing poker, she didn’t set herself up for a rebuff, hanging up the phone after saying a few more words.

Only when Logan’s stomach started rumbling did he call a halt to the poker game. While eating, he took his cell phone out and glanced at it. After contemplating for a moment, he gave Lola a call and asked her what she was doing. Without waiting for her answer, he then told her that he gave Jasmine flowers and she loved them.

On the other end, Lola had her voice lowered. “Oh, okay, got it.”

Upon hearing this, Logan instantly knew that she was in the middle of something. After a heartbeat, understanding dawned. “Why, are you with your boyfriend from the blind date?”

Logan scoffed, but he didn’t comment further. After hanging up the phone, he placed his cell phone on the table. Subsequently, he thought, I’m pretty sure Lola likes flowers as well. That man is insensitive, failing to give her any flowers. She’s probably very disappointed, huh? For some reason unbeknownst to him, he felt inexplicably gleeful, smugness flooding him when her relationship wasn’t going well.

When he was done eating, he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, scrolling through his cell phone. However, he became restless after glancing through a few gossip pieces, feeling as though he was on pins and needles. Looking at the time, he saw that it was still quite early, so he changed and drove straight to the florist.

He took a turn around the florist, but he didn’t recognize any of the flowers. In the end, his eyes fixed onto a bouquet of roses. “Two stalks will do,” he requested. The florist swiftly wrapped the flowers up.

Logan stared at the two stalks of roses for a good while before spinning on his heels and leaving the florist. The flowers were still budding, so the florist claimed that they’d last two days if he were to put them into a vase. He then drove to Lola’s gym. Nonetheless, he didn’t enter, merely stopping his car outside and giving her a call, demanding that she come out.
