The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1172

Lola chortled, yet she didn’t decline. “Okay. I’ll be counting on your connections in the future.”

Logan didn’t ponder on the meaning of this remark. He merely grunted and reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll have you making a killing.”

Logan’s car was parked in front of the clubhouse, and he drove Lola straight back to her house. After alighting from the car, Lola initially wanted to wave at him and bid him goodbye, but he climbed out of the car as well. Seizing Sophia’s remark from earlier, he said, “It’s not safe in the corridors, so I’ll see you up to your doorstep.”

Lola stared at him for a few heartbeats, seemingly a touch exasperated. However, she didn’t refuse in the end. “Alright, then.”

The two of them then entered the elevator, and Lola pressed the button for her floor. After a moment’s deliberation, Logan asked, “Did that Shawn Long contact you further?”

Lola stilled without replying immediately, so he could more or less guess the answer. Frowning, he looked at her. “I can’t believe he still has the nerve to contact you.”

In reality, Lola was also annoyed with Shawn. Perhaps his relationship had been smooth sailing in the past, or he was the dominant party during those three years he dated his ex-girlfriend, but he was adamant in fixing her perception of him. He was probably feeling very much humiliated at the disgraceful manner in which they broke up. Hence, he called and texted her incessantly to explain everything between him and his ex-girlfriend.

In his version, his ex-girlfriend and her family were rather greedy. Meanwhile, his parents had toiled for half their lives for his sake, so he didn’t want to burden them, claiming that the disagreement on the bride price stemmed from that. He also said that he was averse to pestering people, but as Lola’s misunderstanding of him was too deep, he felt that he must explain things.
