The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1185

Logan stood in the courtyard for some time, only turning around and returning to the house when everyone had left. Mr. Hunt then went over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Come with me, Logan. I’ve got something to discuss with you.” Putting away the hostility emanating from him, Logan docilely followed Mr. Hunt into the room.

Lola was now at a complete loss as to what her father was trying to do. Frowning, she turned and stared at Mrs. Hunt. “Is Dad scheming something? Look at how suspicious he is. I just have a feeling that he has a ploy of some sort.” However, Mrs. Hunt merely whirled around and went back to her cooking without saying a single word.

Logan and Mr. Hunt talked for a good while in the room. No one knew what they actually discussed, but they both seemed to be in high spirits when they came out. Skulking over to Logan, Lola asked, “What did the two of you talk about?”

Logan merely put a finger to his lips and made a shushing sound. “It’s a secret.” He acted all mysterious.

Lola’s gaze shifted between him and Mr. Hunt several times. At this time, Mrs. Hunt hollered, demanding that she come into the kitchen and help her cook. She obviously doesn’t want me to ask too many questions. She just had a feeling that her parents must have discussed something while she wasn’t at home. The matter must have been somehow related to me, yet they don’t want me to know what it is. This is rather worrying.

While Mr. Hunt was otherwise distracted, she pointed a finger at Logan. Lowering her voice, she warned, “Watch out. Let me tell you, I’ll kill you if you dare do anything behind my back.”

Logan merely smiled without saying anything.

Mr. Hunt searched for a good while before he finally found Old Mrs. Hunt’s grave. There was no tombstone, merely a piece of wooden board with her name in black marker pen and nothing else staked on top of the dirt patch.

They then burned the incense paper and hell banknotes. Lola and her father knelt before the small dirt patch. After deliberating for a moment, Logan also went to his knees beside Lola. When he did, Lola’s brows furrowed. “You can wait for me at the side.”

However, Logan didn’t respond, merely kneeling there with his back ramrod straight, staring at the simple grave marker. Mr. Hunt didn’t find it inappropriate for him to do so either. After prostrating himself before the grave, he even started introducing Logan to Old Mrs. Hunt as he burned incense paper.
