The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691 The Imminent Break-up

Logan had never been one to give sage advice to another. He was the life of the party, but imparting wisdom and running intervention were never his strong suit. For him to come up with all these must have been an inordinately difficult feat.

Ian raised the cup and took a sip of his tea, then decidedly changed the subject by asking, “So when are you going home? Your wife can’t just lock you out of the house and have you wandering around like this all day, can she?”

In truth, Logan had no idea when he should be getting home either. Lola’s hostility toward him was growing more aggressive each day, and she practically had him wandering around like a vagabond ever since he came home after having a meal at the Constance Residence the last time.

She was always nagging about how he never took anything seriously. If John could take babysitting seriously, then by the transitive property, Logan thought staying at home with Lola would be a show of responsibility as well.

Presently, he opened and closed his mouth as he ransacked his mind for an answer. “You know what? I think I’ll call her later. I don’t know if she’ll even let me in the door, but I know I can’t just crash here tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Cindy couldn’t hide her smile. She had seen the way John and Sophia interacted, and though he came from the powerful Constance Family, it was clear to see that Sophia was the one who wore the pants in their relationship.

All things considered, Logan and Lola’s relationship mirrored John and Sophia’s.

At the thought of this, Cindy cast Ian a curious sideways glance. I wonder how he’ll turn out after marriage, though judging from his circle of friends, I think he’d make a good husband.

The entertainment industry was rife with glamor and scandal, and Cindy wondered idly if anyone could be so lucky as to end up with Ian, who had never been tainted by the dark side of the industry.

They sat for a while before Logan became antsy and insisted on bringing Cindy upstairs, where he kept his ‘precious’ toy—a 3D projection device.

Cindy glanced over at Ian, who jerked his chin, indicating that she should follow Logan. “Go up and take a gander at the thing, or he might just lose sleep over your rejection. It’s his solemn duty to show everyone his precious acquisition, after all.”

She let out a good-natured laugh and rose to follow Logan up the staircase.

He led her into his personal 3D projection room and drew the curtains closed, then switched on the device.

At that moment, Cindy was shocked by the scene that appeared before her, for several people had materialized in the dimness of the room.

Naturally, these figures were projections and nothing more, but they looked just like the real thing.

Cindy blinked in surprise at the 3D projections of Lola, Sophia, John, and finally, Ian.

Meanwhile, Logan was chuckling proudly on one side of the room as he teased, “Surprised, aren’t you? What do you think of this? I believe hyper-realistic is a fitting term, don’t you?”

She nodded slowly, still gaping at the projections. “It sure is.” As she said this, she hesitantly walked up to the holograms and circled them, appraising the details.

It would make sense that only the rich could afford such sophisticated toys; common folk like her could never hope to see stuff like this, let alone own it.

She came to a stop next to Ian’s projection and stared at it briefly, stunned by its intricacy. It was almost as if she was standing next to the man himself.

Logan sauntered over. “Ian didn’t want me to make a projection of him, but I wore him down with my insistence at the end and came up with this. I mean, I don’t get why he has to be so anal about it when everyone has already given me the green light.” He paused in thought, then flashed Cindy a grin as he offered, “Hey, if I have the time, I’d make one of you too.”

He pointed at John and Sophia’s projections, then at Lola’s and his own. “See, all of us are here, even Ian. When yours is done, the whole group will be complete.”

The offer left Cindy a little speechless. She wasn’t sure when she and Ian would officially declare their break-up, but the imminence of it meant that she might never have her hologram made and join the others’ in this room.

Logan seized her dazed moment and leaned closer to her, feigning innocence as he asked, “Speaking of which, when are you and Ian going to settle down for good? Marriage aside, have you guys at least talked about getting engaged?”

She froze and parted her lips to say something, but words deserted her. She wasn’t even sure if Logan knew about the truth of her relationship with Ian, so she quickly masked her hesitation with a nervous chuckle. “Well, I mean, we’re not in a rush. His career is still taking off, and he should focus on it for now.”
