The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1274

Lola was a little tired, so it didn’t take her long to fall asleep after snuggling into his embrace. On the contrary, Logan kept his eyes wide open as he contemplated things before getting out of bed quietly, leaving her to sleep until it was almost evening.

Actually, she hadn’t had such carefree days for a long time. She didn’t have to think about anything; she could just eat when she was hungry and sleep when she was tired. There was really no need to be living the cool life at all.

When she woke up and realized that Logan was not by her side, she thought that he was just outside the room. So, she stayed in bed a little longer before jumping up when she saw that it was almost dinnertime.

However, Logan wasn’t in the living room, either. After searching around, she realized that he was nowhere to be found. Thus, she immediately gave him a call.

It took him a while before he picked up the call, and his voice sounded hushed. “You’re awake, Lola?”

“Yeah,” she muttered. “Where are you now?”

Chuckling, he answered, “I’m busy at the clubhouse now, but I’ll be done and coming back soon.”

Without thinking too much about it, she merely mentioned to him what dishes she would be preparing for dinner and asked if he liked them.

“I like anything you prepare,” he said in a sickeningly affectionate manner.

I knew that I shouldn’t have asked him, she thought. “Alright, I got it. Continue with your work and I’m going to cook dinner now.”

“Okay,” he replied and hung up.

From the fridge, Lola took out the ingredients which she would need and started to get busy. Since she was in a good mood, she prepared the meal slowly and it took her almost an hour to finish. As it turned out, Logan was still not home even after an hour of cooking.

Setting out the table, she frowned and gave him another call.

As the waiter knew who she was, he greeted her when he saw her coming toward him. “Mrs. Jefferson, why are you here alone?” he asked, and stretched his neck to look behind her.

Lola instantly understood the meaning behind his gesture—Logan was not here at all.

Pressing her lips into a grim line, she stopped in her tracks and said, “I’m just passing by, so I came to take a look.”

“Did Young Master Jefferson send you here to check on us?” he asked, appearing rather relaxed in front of her. “Don’t worry. We’re all doing our job well even though he’s not here for the past couple of days.”

She flashed him a smile and nodded, not intending to continue the small talk. “I’ll leave you to your job then,” she said before turning to face the street and extending her arm to stop another cab.

A car stopped and she opened the door. However, she took two deep breaths before hopping in. For some unknown reason, her hands were trembling.
