The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel 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.”

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.”

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.”
