The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1257

As Lola wasn’t knowledgeable about pregnancy, she furrowed her brows and asked, “Is it that scary?”

Sophia took in a breath sharply. “Maybe I’m the one who has a greater reaction to pregnancy. I’ve seen people commenting that they had it easy during pregnancy.”

When Lola was silent, Logan shifted his attention to their conversation and pinched her ear softly. “Don’t be afraid. She’s merely trying to scare you. Let’s ignore her.”

Sophia cast him a dirty look and imitated a spit. “You’re mean, Logan. You wouldn’t speak to me like this before, and were so kind to me.”

Lifting his arms, he placed them around Lola. “I have a girlfriend now, and I’ll only be nice to her from now on.”

The way he proved his loyalty was so corny that it made her have goosebumps all over her body.

After staring at him for a couple of seconds, Sophia grabbed John’s arm and declared, “I don’t need your kindness as well. I have a husband.”

Sure enough, when childish people gathered, they could pull each other down to the same level.

Sophia didn’t used to be like this, John mused and chuckled. Giving her a playful pinch on the cheek, he said, “You change your moods quicker than I can flip a page.”

She was still throwing a tantrum at him just a few minutes ago, but was using him as a trophy now.

The couples who had been married for years next to them all looked the other way. “We can’t take this anymore. At our age, this display of affection is too much for us.”

As Lola had never been poked fun at like this before, her face burned scarlet from the embarrassment.

During the end of dinner, when it was time to cut the cake, Lynett lit a candle on it and even made a wish out loud. “I wish that my brother will be able to settle down for good and live a peaceful life with Lola.”

This is really a small family gathering, Lola thought. I thought it was going to be a ballroom event.

There were a few gowns amongst the clothes that Logan bought her, and she was relieved that she didn’t pick any of it for this evening.

Subsequently, the servants outside began lighting up the fireworks, and the children went out to watch. Along with the loud popping noises, the whole yard was lit up by the fireworks dancing in the sky, and the lights flickered through the window.

Sliding his arm around Lola’s waist, Logan whispered gently, “When are your parents free? I would like to bring my father and sister over for a visit.”

With her eyes fixed on the view outside the window, she answered, “They’re not up to anything now, so they’re quite free.”

“Okay,” he said, and kissed her on the cheek.
