The Returning Ex

Chapter 1366

Sophia was probably a touch surprised, for she only spoke after a long time, asking, “Why are you back? I remember you saying that you’re going to spend a whole month away from home.”

Logan again chuckled to build up the atmosphere. “Naturally, I’m back because something happened.”

Sophia’s voice turned somber. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

As soon as she finished speaking, John’s voice drifted over. “Who’s that?”

Sophia’s voice then sounded slightly farther. “It’s Logan, saying that he’s already home.”

John’s voice slowly drew near. “He’s home? Hasn’t he just been gone for a little over half a month?”

John came over and took the phone from her. “What’s wrong, Logan? Did something happen? Didn’t you say you’re going to be away for a month? Why are you back now?” They knew Logan all too well; if he said he was going to be away for a month, then it’d definitely exceed a month instead of falling short of that figure. Thus, John was indeed rather surprised that he was back now when it’d only been half a month.

Unbidden, a chortle escaped Logan’s mouth. “Something happened. Lola wasn’t feeling too well, so I quickly brought her back.”

At this time, Lola had already found a chair and sat down at the side, looking on as he showed off.

For some time, nary a peep came from John and Sophia. Logan initially planned to wait until they asked before telling them the good news, but there was no sound from the other end even after he’d waited for several seconds, making him edgy. When he failed to obtain any questions after waiting for an eternity, he cleared his throat.

However, just when he was about to speak, Sophia blurted, “So, you two are back, huh? How about this? We’ll go over and visit Lola when we’re free. My son is crying, so we’ll talk another time, okay?” After saying that, she hung up right away without giving him any time to respond.

Logan held the cell phone to his ear, stunned for a long time. His forthcoming words were just on the tip of his tongue, but Sophia unexpectedly cut him off with a single remark.

At the side, Lola didn’t hear what Sophia said, but she noticed that his expression wasn’t quite right, so she quirked a brow. “What’s wrong? What kind of expression is that?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Putting his cell phone down, Logan whirled around and strode over to her. Snorting, he commented, “These people are simply irritating.”

Lola tittered. “Why? What did Sophia say just now?”

What did she say? It’s precisely because she said nothing that I’m now incensed. I was just waiting for her to ask me before uttering what I’ve got to say, but what did she do? Not only did she ask nary a question, but she even cut me off before I could say anything! Logan snorted, not knowing how to answer her.

His conceited expression appeared a touch childish, so Lola raised a hand and stroked his head in consolation.

Meanwhile, Sophia placed her cell phone down and turned to look at John. John stared at her as well, his expression similar to hers. After a moment of silence, Sophia nodded. “Lola is probably pregnant. You didn’t hear how smug his chuckle was earlier. I just knew that he wanted to gloat the moment I heard his triumphant laughter.”

Lifting a hand, John caressed her face. “Just let him gloat for a while if that was his intention. You cut him off outright and even hung up the phone, so he must be aggrieved.”

Mulling it over, Sophia snickered. “I’m petty, so I’m the only one allowed to make a public display of affection. I don’t allow others to do the same before me.” On second thought, she lamented, “Logan works really fast.” I don’t think he’s been with Lola all that long, yet they’ve gotten married and even conceived in such a short time. It’s truly undeniable that he’s the fast-moving type. He thoroughly wasted all the days past, then settled everything within the year!

John was worried that they’d gotten it wrong, so after a moment’s deliberation, he suggested, “Why don’t you give Miss Hunt a call later? If she’s truly pregnant, it’s only proper that we congratulate her.”
