Logan’s movements were exceedingly swift. Springing out of bed, he dashed over to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, a whirlwind of activity. Meanwhile, Lola had already packed up, so she merely changed and sat in the sitting area to wait for him. Logan then packed his luggage as well, but there wasn’t much luggage since most were odds and ends they bought during their trips out.
When everything was done, the two of them went downstairs and ate a simple breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Then, they took a taxi to the airport. They got the time just right, for they boarded the plane shortly after arriving at the airport.
Logan was so excited that despite his initial plan of surprising his family after going back, he gave Old Mr. Jefferson a call while the plane hadn’t yet taken off. When Old Mr. Jefferson answered the call, his voice was no different than usual; he merely knew that they were coming back today, but not Lola’s possible pregnancy. Perhaps Lynett and Lorraine didn’t tell him anything out of worry for his health. Bouncing off the walls, Logan declared, “Dad, I’ll tell you something, but you’ve got to stay strong, okay?”
All at once, a bolt of fear lanced through Old Mr. Jefferson. “Have you done something reprehensible again, you damn kid? Let me tell you, I’m not going to help you if you’ve created a huge mess. You’ve got to take responsibility by yourself!”
Logan hooted in laughter over the phone. Then, he asserted, “It’s not something reprehensible. It’s something good.”
However, Old Mr. Jefferson obviously didn’t believe him. “Have you ever done anything good? You’ve never done anything decent since young.”
This remark truly saddened Logan.
Beside him, Lola could hear everything Logan said. A tad embarrassed, she raised her hand and patted him on the arm, shaking her head to signal him not to publicize her pregnancy. After all, it’s not certain yet since a pregnancy test may be wrong.
After a while, Logan again insisted through the phone, “It’s truly a good thing. Say, why can’t you just trust your son once?”
“Cut the crap!” Old Mr. Jefferson blurted. “I know your despicable character all too well. So, what trouble did you wreak this time?”

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...
