Shawn was working in town, and he had a great, stable job everyone wanted.
When Logan drove her to his workplace, she called him. Shawn said he’d be right out, and they ended the call. Lola heaved a sigh and looked at Logan. “Wait right here. I’ll go and talk to him.”
Logan trusted her to handle this well without needing any help from him, and he nodded before replying gently, “Sure. Call me if you need anything.”
Without replying, Lola went to Shawn’s workplace, and out came Shawn to see her when she was reaching his office.
He didn’t know Logan was the one who gave her a ride, so he was happy to see her. “I’ll be going to your place tonight.” He trotted toward her. “You didn’t have to come.”
Smiling at him, Lola put her hands in her pockets and stared down. “I have something to ask you.”
Shawn nodded. “Sure. What would you like to know?”
A smile curled her lips. “You have an ex-girlfriend, don’t you?”
Shawn froze, and he looked away. “That’s normal for guys my age, don’t you think?”
Once again, the question remained unanswered. Strictly speaking, his ex-girlfriend didn’t ask much, but it was his family who refused to pay instead. She had dated him for three years and even gave her virginity to him. Thus, his family thought that effectively meant nobody would marry her aside from Shawn, so to them, she was worth nothing. Shawn couldn’t tell that to Lola, though. What would she think of him? The fear of her loathing prevented him from answering.
At this, Lola smiled. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Because the answer’s too unbelievable?”
Shawn stared at her and stammered, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word.
Lola wasn’t angered at his silence; she was as calm as an undisturbed lake. “When I first found out about it, I wondered if I might end up like your ex once I met your parents. I don’t know what your family considers a ‘good’ daughter-in-law, but I do know that I’m terrified of them. I’m scared that they might think I’m worthless.”

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...
