Logan sniggered and answered, “Wow! ‘Wise words’! ‘Wise words’! What else can I say? I feel as if I’m back to those old days in school, where I’m sitting right beside the teacher’s favorite student who makes me look even more like a jerk.”
Meanwhile, Sophia only placed her hand on Logan’s shoulder and said, “You’re not a jerk. You’re just spoiled.”
Logan responded with silence as he guzzled the beer in his glass. At the same time, Sophia knew she mustn’t take it too far, fearing that her kind words of advice would frustrate her friend and backfire instead. Therefore, she decided to stop talking and continued to sit beside Logan in silence after taking some more of the food. She wasn’t hungry after all, so she stopped after merely a couple of bites.
Logan contemplated things briefly before he reached for the beer bottle again. Nonetheless, Sophia didn’t stop him this time, knowing that her words had just gone in one ear and out the other. For that, she didn’t want to upset him anymore by saying something he didn’t like to hear. On the other hand, Logan quickly fell into a drunken stupor as he went on to drown his sorrows. However, Sophia didn’t send for the waiter. Instead, she merely sat beside him and scrolled through her phone.
Soon, Logan collapsed on the table with his eyes shut. In his drunkenness, he swung his arm and knocked over a glass onto the floor, shattering it. The loud crash woke him up. He then opened his eyes and looked around him, whereupon he smiled at Sophia. “You must be thinking I’m a piece of trash, Sophia.”
Sophia paused and quickly answered, “Of course not.”
Logan sniggered and said, “I’m not a shameless man, and I know I’d be a nobody if it weren’t for my old man and my four capable sisters, along with their husbands.” He then leaned back on his chair with his eyes closed as he looked like he was falling asleep again. Even so, he wouldn’t stop complaining. “She was right. My mouth is as big as my ego, yet I’m the one everyone despises. Thus, I’m only a king in my own world, and that’s nothing to boast about.”

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...
