Lola didn’t quite know what to say to that, so she pursed her lips. A long while later, she harrumphed. However, it was slightly simpering, sounding as though she was being coquettish.
Chuckling, Logan took some dishes for her. “Eat.”
When they’d almost finished eating, Lola’s cell phone vibrated. She paid it no mind, not even casting it a glance. Sitting across from her, Logan’s eyes were sharp, so he instantly glimpsed the notification of a message on her lock screen. Lifting his eyes to her, he looked at her for a while before reaching out and snagging her cell phone after hesitating for a few seconds. Sure enough, it’s Shawn Long who sent her a message!
Lola, who was drinking water, hastily placed her glass down upon seeing his action. “What are you doing?”
Logan didn’t read the contents of the message, but at a single glance, he caught the start of it. Generally, Shawn wanted to ask her out to talk. The rest of the message wasn’t displayed, so he wasn’t sure whether he mentioned anything else. Then, he returned the cell phone to Lola. “This man is still pestering you.”
Taking the cell phone, Lola opened the message and scanned it. It’s a whole lot of crap again! Shawn’s ‘short essays’ had gotten increasingly emotional lately, but she found it extremely awkward. Of course, she never had much feelings for him, so all his so-called confidences had goosebumps rising on her skin. Then, she deleted the message in short order.
However, her grandmother who despised her then started doting on her when she slowly grew up, taking out all the delicious food in the house which she kept hidden in an iron box when she saw her. Frail and sickly, her grandmother had never lived an easy life. Before Lola had grown up, her grandmother passed away serenely on the bed without any family beside her on a bright morning. At this, her voice suddenly became choked. “None of our family was with her when she took her final breath. Everyone had gone out that morning. When we returned at noon, her body was already cold.”
Pressing his lips into a tight line, Logan deliberated for a moment before reaching out and taking her hand, interlocking their fingers together.
This time, Lola didn’t spurn him. Taking a deep breath, she feigned staunchness and chuckled. “While death is an inevitability in life, I just find her departure overly desolate.”

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...
