The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1114

The expression Logan wore while saying the last few lines made her feel uncomfortable, which was mixed with a tinge of regret. She also acknowledged that what she said was a little blithe, but she was never nice to him to begin with, so she didn’t expect him to feel hurt.

She loitered in the living room for some time before returning to her room while fretting. After washing up quickly, she lay down in bed. Although she had a habit of scrolling through her social media before sleeping, she didn’t feel like doing so that night. Pulling her blanket over her, she tried to fall asleep by shutting her eyes, but she only grew ever more irritable.

It had been a long while since she felt such feelings; she only ever lost sleep over an unsolved case, so it had been a while since she had such feelings ever since she retired from the front lines. Lola sank into a semi-conscious state after dozing off until she woke up the next day.

After getting into the bathroom, she saw heavy bags under her eyes in her reflection in the mirror despite having fallen asleep early last night. She washed up as fast as possible before leaving to have breakfast outside as she had nothing left from dinner last night. Later on, she hailed a cab to bring her to the gym.

There weren’t a lot of people in the gym early in the morning, nor were the trainers present at that time of day. Lola entered her office only to see the fitness plans on her table. However, she returned them onto the table after spending a few minutes trying to go through them, as she couldn’t find it in herself to finish the task. Sitting on her chair, she stared into the computer screen, only to find herself feeling increasingly uneasy. In the end, she wound up leaving the gym.

On the other hand, Logan downed a bottle of red wine alone in his room last night, so he was still fast asleep. In his dreams, he could hear Lola reprimanding him. Despite her low voice, her every sentence stung at his heart, robbing him of his peace of mind even in his sleep. As he struggled to wake up from the unending nightmare, the sudden ringing of his phone roused him awake. He checked to see a call from Sophia that he picked up before inquiring about her in a hoarse voice and with his eyes shut.
