The Returning Ex

Chapter 1368

Lola instantly beamed. Beckoning Logan over, she then cupped his face and gave him a peck. “A reward for you.”

Lifting a hand, Logan held the back of her head and deepened the kiss. How could a reward be a simple brush of lips? That’s not sincere at all. When the kiss had ended, he asked, “Who was on the phone with you earlier?”

Lola hummed thoughtfully. “A coach from the gym. I asked whether anything happened at the gym lately, to which he said everything was good.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Logan nodded. A few seconds later, he muttered, “Did Sophia call you?”

Upon hearing such a question from him, Lola almost burst into laughter. Nevertheless, she tried her best to keep a poker face. “Nope. Why?”

Logan smacked his lips. “Nothing. I was just asking.” His aggrieved expression was just too adorable that she had to lift a hand and caress his face.

Looking on as Lola took the ice cream, he couldn’t help reminding, “Don’t eat too much. Have a care for your health.”

Lola nodded. Actually, her craving was already gone, so she wasn’t all too keen on eating it now. But since he’d rushed out to buy her this, she just felt that it’d be an affront to his good intentions if she didn’t eat any. Thus, she merely took two token bites before leaving him the rest.

Sitting on the bed, Logan stared at his cell phone while eating ice cream, seemingly waiting for a call from someone. When Lola came back after washing her face and saw his gaze alighting on his cell phone every so often, she couldn’t bring herself to keep him in the dark anymore. “Are you waiting for Sophia’s call?”

Logan didn’t hide anything from her, answering frankly, “I just want to see whether they’ll call and ask me what happened.”

Walking over, Lola ruffled his hair. “Silly man.” Logan lifted his eyes to her, and she continued, “Sophia called me.”

Logan’s expression froze. “When was that? When did she call you?”

At this, Lola truly wanted to laugh. “When you were out, buying ice cream. She’s already aware that I’m pregnant. They’d guessed it when you phoned them earlier.”

Blinking, Logan put the ice cream down after a long time had passed. “They guessed it? How did they guess it?”

How did they guess it? No thanks to your smugness. Lola didn’t want to hurt him with the truth, so she vaguely replied, “Sophia is very smart to begin with.”

After pondering about it, Logan nodded. “You’re right. She’s very astute.” He heaved a long sigh in clear disappointment. “They didn’t give me any chance at all, having guessed it instead. I wanted to blurt it out and give them a shock.”

The corners of Lola’s lips lifted. What’s so shocking about this?

A while later, they both went to bed. “We’ll just stay the night here and go home tomorrow. The house has been vacant for too long, so I asked someone to go and clean the place today,” Logan explained.

Lola nodded as she sought out a comfortable position. “I’m fine with it. It doesn’t matter where I stay.” She’d never had trouble sleeping on unfamiliar beds, sleep coming to her wherever she went.

After a moment’s contemplation, Logan placed his hand on her stomach. In reality, he couldn’t sense anything, for her waist was still very slender. His expression serious, he mused, “Where is the little peanut now? In your stomach?” He murmured increasingly more nonsensical remarks, but she merely ignored him. He touched her slowly, his movements gentle as though he could truly sense its location.

Lying on the bed, Lola grew drowsy after a while. Logan’s hands then started wandering, upon which she wriggled and slapped his hand away. “Behave.”

Logan solemnly heaved a sigh. “I’ve scoured the internet, and it seems that we can’t be intimate while you’re with child.”

Lola grunted in affirmation. “That’s correct.”

Logan scooted closer to her. “I just feel that it’s too fast for my pleasurable days to have come to an end just after a handful of days.”
