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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
