After thanking him, John and Sophia slowly walked toward the office. When they were almost there, they simultaneously softened their steps, both harboring some diabolical intentions.
Meanwhile, Lola was indeed in the office with Logan, who was still beleaguered by the incident on the previous day. While she was reviewing performance appraisal forms, he continued condemning ‘that old geezer’ from the Bailey Family, saying that ‘the old coot’ lost his grandson because he never did any good.
Then, he also claimed that the fact that ‘the old coot’ had committed every imaginable evil accounted for the many flaws in his son’s depraved plan. In short, he enumerated all of the misfortunates that had befallen the Baileys recently, linking everything to Elder Mr. Bailey’s egregious character and insisting that it was all his fault that the entire Bailey Family collapsed.
When Lola was done reviewing a form, she looked up at him in exasperation. “Can you just zip it? Why are you wagging your tongue like a dog? I’m having a headache from your incessant prattling.”
His voice abruptly ceasing, Logan pursed his lips. “Don’t you think he’s incredibly vexing? Don’t you think he deserves what he got? And don’t you think he should go to hell?”
At the end of her patience, Lola lifted a leg and kicked Logan who was across from her. “Stop talking.” He’s been prattling on from morning until now!
Logan stared at her. “You’re too violent. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind about you if you bully me like this?”
What the hell?! Snatching up a folder, Lola swung it at him. “Behave! If you continue being so nauseating, I’ll kick you out!”
At the side, Logan’s face flushed in a rare moment of embarrassment. He’d never acted this shamelessly toward someone else in front of John and Sophia, so he felt somewhat mortified. Twisting his head to the side, he gave a light cough. “Well, what kind of behavior was that? Who’d eavesdrop on people’s conversations at the door?”
Sophia hurriedly went over to him and leaned close to his face. “You’re blushing, Logan! Ah, this is remarkable! Logan actually has some shame in him!” Her voice was a touch exaggerated.
Logan shot her a glare. “Sophia Gwendolyn, I’ve doted on you for nothing, you ungrateful wretch!”
Sophia roared with laughter. “I’ve always wondered how you’ll behave with a girl you fancy, and I’ve now finally gotten to witness it!” She initially planned to stay at Lola’s place the entire afternoon, but she knew she couldn’t be a third wheel since Logan was here. Hence, she then left with John after chatting with Lola for a bit.

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...
