The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1225

Startled, Logan asked, “Do you like these?”

Lola never tried them, so she could only say, “Let’s give it a try.”

Full of confidence, Logan replied, “Allow me to keep you company. I bet you will be scared later on.”

However, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. Either it was because Lola was the brave and adventurous type, or her previous job groomed her for stressful situations, she didn’t even break a sweat, seemingly almost unaffected even after two rounds of the games.

On the other hand, Logan wasn’t faring so well. He led a sheltered life, and he wasn’t accustomed to manual labor, so he never needed to physically exert himself. Thus, after a ride on the roller-coaster and gravitron, his knees were about to give out. With his face pale and heart racing, he had to lean against a tree at the exit for support while he was catching his breath, whereas Lola patted him on his back. “I wasn’t expecting someone like you to be afraid of this. Man up!”

Waving his hand, Logan stubbornly denied her claim. “Who’s afraid of this?! I’m not afraid at all! I just…” He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “My stomach feels weird! We’re being thrown all over the place while on the roller coaster and gravitron, so my stomach isn’t feeling that great. That’s all.”

Upon hearing what he said, Lola chuckled, but she didn’t expose his lie as she knew he was trying to save his dignity. After some rest, Lola was ready for another game. She didn’t actually need Logan to come with her, so Logan could in fact wait for her outside, but he insisted on keeping her company despite his fear. “No, I have to go with you.”
