The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1379

Logan pouted. “We can’t be intimate, yet I can’t even kiss you now?”

Lola thumped him. “Lower your voice.” After saying that, she glanced out. “Why is she here? What did you all talk about earlier?”

Actually, we didn’t talk about anything of significance. Logan hesitated for a moment. ”I think she probably came over to worm her way into our good graces. After all, it was me who caused her son to lose his job, so she might be afraid that I’d continue manipulating things to make life difficult for him.”

Returning to the room, Lola lay down. “Who’d be so free to bother him if he didn’t make trouble in the first place?”

Logan trailed after her. “You’re right.”

A while later, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt came in as well. Mr. Hunt entered the house with a long face, muttering, “What the hell? Who did she think she was?”

Behind him, Mrs. Hunt stroked his back. “Ah, just don’t take offense at someone like her. You know what their family is like, no? Just pretend as though you hadn’t heard the pile of drivel she blathered this time. It’s not worth it to be upset because of such a person.”

Lola wanted to go and inquire about the matter, but just as she was about to get up, Logan held her back down. “I’ll go and check on them.” Then, he exited the room. “What happened, Dad? What did she say just now?”

Mr. Hunt stomped over to the chair at the side. “She’s just like a d*mn leech. Doesn’t she know to find the fault from Shawn himself if he isn’t doing well in his work? But no, she’s adamant that someone must be putting obstacles in his path!”

Logan’s brows knitted together. After that, Mr. Hunt continued, “Do you know why she came over earlier? Passing by, my foot! She heard that we came back, so she deliberately came to seek us out. Shawn went looking for a job some time ago, but no one wanted to employ him, and he was rejected by several places. However, she didn’t consider the possibility of Shawn himself being less than capable, or rather, his tarnished reputation being the reason. Instead, she pushed the blame on us, assuming that we’d manipulated things behind the scenes to ensure that he can’t find a job.”

All at once, Logan guffawed. I thought she came to put in a good word for Shawn and implore me to show him mercy, but it turns out that I underthought it. She has already placed the blame on me. He chuckled in exasperation. “I initially didn’t want to take things too far, but she came and asked for it.”
