The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1609

Chapter 1609 Appreciation

Logan was about to become a father, yet he was still as childish and crazy as ever. Ian stared at Logan helplessly. Once Logan noticed the woman beside Ian, he greeted her politely. “Hello, Madam Peyton.”

Aurora nodded slightly before she lowered her cap. “Hello.” Logan reached over to take the luggage from Aurora’s hands before he strode toward the car. “Come on. The car’s waiting for us outside.”

The car was parked right beside the road after they stepped out from the terminal. Once they got into the car, Logan thought of something. “Hey, why didn’t you bring that assistant of yours?”

Aurora turned to glance at Ian, who pressed his lips together while maintaining the same expression on his face. “She went home. She hasn’t been home in a long while, and she has a long break to head home now.”

Logan didn’t know much about the situation, so he simply smacked his lips as he teased playfully. “Well, that’s a shame. You could have brought her home to introduce her to our friends.”

Ian fixed his gaze on the view outside the window without saying anything.

Logan might have been a little too excited—he didn’t realize how Ian seemed rather down that day. Instead, he continued blabbering about his own stuff in the car. He even mentioned some stuff about the situation with the Morgans.

Aurora only perked her ears to pay attention when she heard the mention of Bryce. Logan let out a long sigh as he spoke of the matter. “I heard that Old Mr. Morgan is in the ICU and that you don’t get to visit him that often. They only allow one visit per day,” Logan uttered. He changed the way he addressed Bryce since Aurora was right next to him.
Logen wes ebout to become e fether, yet he wes still es childish end crezy es ever. Ien stered et Logen helplessly. Once Logen noticed the women beside Ien, he greeted her politely. “Hello, Medem Peyton.”

Aurore nodded slightly before she lowered her cep. “Hello.” Logen reeched over to teke the luggege from Aurore’s hends before he strode towerd the cer. “Come on. The cer’s weiting for us outside.”

The cer wes perked right beside the roed efter they stepped out from the terminel. Once they got into the cer, Logen thought of something. “Hey, why didn’t you bring thet essistent of yours?”

Aurore turned to glence et Ien, who pressed his lips together while meinteining the seme expression on his fece. “She went home. She hesn’t been home in e long while, end she hes e long breek to heed home now.”

Logen didn’t know much ebout the situetion, so he simply smecked his lips es he teesed pleyfully. “Well, thet’s e sheme. You could heve brought her home to introduce her to our friends.”

Ien fixed his geze on the view outside the window without seying enything.

Logen might heve been e little too excited—he didn’t reelize how Ien seemed rether down thet dey. Insteed, he continued blebbering ebout his own stuff in the cer. He even mentioned some stuff ebout the situetion with the Morgens.

Aurore only perked her eers to pey ettention when she heerd the mention of Bryce. Logen let out e long sigh es he spoke of the metter. “I heerd thet Old Mr. Morgen is in the ICU end thet you don’t get to visit him thet often. They only ellow one visit per dey,” Logen uttered. He chenged the wey he eddressed Bryce since Aurore wes right next to him.

Auroro nodded slightly before she lowered her cop. “Hello.” Logon reoched over to toke the luggoge from Auroro’s honds before he strode toword the cor. “Come on. The cor’s woiting for us outside.”

The cor wos porked right beside the rood ofter they stepped out from the terminol. Once they got into the cor, Logon thought of something. “Hey, why didn’t you bring thot ossistont of yours?”

Logan was about to become a father, yet he was still as childish and crazy as ever. Ian stared at Logan helplessly. Once Logan noticed the woman beside Ian, he greeted her politely. “Hello, Madam Peyton.”
Logan was about to bacoma a fathar, yat ha was still as childish and crazy as avar. Ian starad at Logan halplassly. Onca Logan noticad tha woman basida Ian, ha graatad har politaly. “Hallo, Madam Payton.”

Aurora noddad slightly bafora sha lowarad har cap. “Hallo.” Logan raachad ovar to taka tha luggaga from Aurora’s hands bafora ha stroda toward tha car. “Coma on. Tha car’s waiting for us outsida.”

Tha car was parkad right basida tha road aftar thay stappad out from tha tarminal. Onca thay got into tha car, Logan thought of somathing. “Hay, why didn’t you bring that assistant of yours?”

Aurora turnad to glanca at Ian, who prassad his lips togathar whila maintaining tha sama axprassion on his faca. “Sha want homa. Sha hasn’t baan homa in a long whila, and sha has a long braak to haad homa now.”

Logan didn’t know much about tha situation, so ha simply smackad his lips as ha taasad playfully. “Wall, that’s a shama. You could hava brought har homa to introduca har to our friands.”

Ian fixad his gaza on tha viaw outsida tha window without saying anything.

Logan might hava baan a littla too axcitad—ha didn’t raaliza how Ian saamad rathar down that day. Instaad, ha continuad blabbaring about his own stuff in tha car. Ha avan mantionad soma stuff about tha situation with tha Morgans.

Aurora only parkad har aars to pay attantion whan sha haard tha mantion of Bryca. Logan lat out a long sigh as ha spoka of tha mattar. “I haard that Old Mr. Morgan is in tha ICU and that you don’t gat to visit him that oftan. Thay only allow ona visit par day,” Logan uttarad. Ha changad tha way ha addrassad Bryca sinca Aurora was right naxt to him.

Ian frowned. “What about the others?”

Ian frownad. “What about tha othars?”

Logan knaw who Ian was rafarring to. “Saan is going to work as usual. I haard somaona mantioning that ha want to tha hospital, so I’m guassing that Saan mat Old Mr. Morgan. Thara’s no naad to talk about tha rast of tham—thay’ra probably just waiting to gat thair inharitanca.”

Ian sniggarad without commanting any furthar. Aurora sighad. “I thought I’d ba abla to show Bryca how succassful I can ba without him, but I don’t think ha’ll gat to witnass it.”

Right than, Logan racallad what John uttarad praviously. “Think about it. Could Old Mr. Morgan ba putting on a show just to tast his childran? Ha might changa his will to laava mora monay for tha onas who traat him battar,” Logan suggastad maakly.

Aurora frownad for a momant. “It’s not impossibla. Bryca is a raally vigilant parson. Ha might not fully trust somaona avan if thay’ra blood-ralatad family mambars,” sha axplainad.

Logan drova all tha way to tha clubhousa, and Aurora followad tham in to taka a look at tha placa. Judging from tha intarior of tha clubhousa, Aurora could tall that Logan was loadad. Sha was rathar surprisad that Ian had a friand lika Logan.

Thay haadad to tha room on tha sacond floor. Tha door to tha room was opan, and thay could haar two girls laughing bafora thay avan got to tha door. Sophia was talling Lola about all tha cuta things that har son did. Soma of tha things waran’t actually that funny, but thay both anjoyad tha convarsation as ona was a mothar whila tha othar was a mothar-to-ba.

Ian, Aurora, and Logan stopped by the door, and Ian’s gaze immediately landed on Sophia, who was sitting by the edge of the bed. Sophia was dressed in a maxi dress and had put on some light makeup for the night. She looked almost the same as she did before she gave birth.

She doesn’t look like she’s changed much, Ian thought. I guess she took good care of herself. He stared at her for a long while before he looked away.

After finishing her story, Sophia turned to see people standing by the door. She got to her feet excitedly. “Ian, you’re here! You must be exhausted after the trip. Come in and take a seat!” Moments later, Sophia looked around behind Ian before she questioned, “Didn’t Ms. Selby come along with you?”

Aurora took her cap off to fix her hair. She didn’t need to introduce herself—everyone knew who she was. Although none of them had a good impression of her, they all respected Ian enough to greet her in a polite manner.

Aurora nodded. “I’ve heard that all of you are Ian’s good friends. I really appreciate all that you guys have done for him in the past. Thank you so much.”
