The matchmaker couldn’t take up that challenge. Everyone in the village was honest to goodness, and what Shawn did would enrage them.
Even though the dating world was getting more and more open, the marriage world wasn’t. Anyone would give a jerk like Shawn a wide berth lest they turned out the same way as his ex.
And of course, the matchmaker would be a public enemy too. If Langdon told everyone about this, it’d affect her business, so she stopped him. “Fine, Langdon. You win. I shouldn’t have gotten myself into this mess. I’ll tell the Longs that Lola won’t be dating Shawn, then. But I guess that means you guys will be enemies now.”
Langdon almost leaped at her with anger. “So what? You think I’d be scared of those scrubs?”
Logan almost laughed. He thought he’d have to interject at some point, but then he was proved wrong. Langdon was proving himself to be a likeable man, and he knew where Lola got her sense of justice from; Langdon’s words and actions exuded the traditional sense of justice.
The matchmaker left in frustration after losing the fight, mumbling under her breath. Langdon cursed after her, but Lola stopped him. “Now, now. Forget about this and don’t let it ruin your night. It’s dinner time.”
Under his daughter’s consoling, Langdon calmed down and looked at Logan. “Sorry you had to see that, Logan. Come on, let’s eat.”
Logan smiled. “I think you did the right thing. You can’t let these jerks get away with it.” If it was the old him, he would have punched the matchmaker the moment she tried to defend Shawn.
After that, Logan raised his glass. “A toast, Mr. Hunt.”
Guffawing, Langdon did the same. “I’m liking you more and more, Logan.”
Lola kept quiet, for she couldn’t stop her father once he was like this. On the other hand, Fiona looked at Logan and her daughter, then she stared down.
They had a happy dinner, and Langdon had almost forgotten about Shawn when it was coming to a close. Then he talked about the days when Lola was working as a police officer. He said there was this one time Lola was facing off an armed enemy in a mission, and then she was shot on her thigh.

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...
