The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1070

Very much surprised, Lola trotted out. Meanwhile, Logan remained sitting in the car with the car window wound

down. Running over, Lola demanded impatiently, “What is it now? I’m busy at the moment.”

Taking the two wrapped stalks of roses in the passenger seat, Logan handed them to her. “Here, for you.”

Lola stared at the two stalks of roses in stunned astonishment. “Why are you giving me this?”

At this, Logan chuckled. His voice tinged with a hint of mockery, he explained, “You told me that you didn’t receive

any flowers while out on a date with your boyfriend, so I came over to console you, afraid that you’re saddened.”

Lola merely gaped at him without saying a single word.

Upon seeing this, Logan swung open the car door and alighted from the car before stuffing the flowers into her

hand. “Take this, you poor thing. It’s just two stalks of flowers, so it’s nothing to me.” After saying that, he slipped

back into the car and turned to her, urging, “Don’t be too touched. It’s mainly because I pity you.” Having said that,

he wound the car window up. Then, he started the car and drove off.

Lola was a tad bewildered at his sudden gift of flowers. While it was merely two stalks of flowers and seemed

exceedingly perfunctory, she felt very awkward for some inexplicable reason. To date, she’d never received flowers

from someone of the opposite sex. When the man from the blind date came to seek her out and they went out for

lunch, they walked past a florist just after exiting the restaurant. However, her mind never went there, and the man

didn’t notice it either

Actually, she wasn’t all that bothered whether he gave her flowers. Nevertheless, it was definitely better than

nothing. Holding the two stalks of exquisitely wrapped roses, she lifted her head and gazed in the direction where

Logan’s car had disappeared, wondering what he meant by this. Logan, on the other hand, felt gratified all of a

sudden though he couldn’t quite explain the feeling. Anyhow, he felt as though he’d regained his dignity before her;

it felt truly blissful and rendered him all relaxed. After that, he drove back to the clubhouse. For the entire

afternoon, energy sizzled through his veins. In the evening, he received a call from John who said the Baileys had

called Sophia twice, inviting her to Ernest’s upcoming birthday celebration. Sophia’s relationship with the Bailey

Family was already well past bad to downright hostile, so it was clear as day that the Baileys had an ulterior motive

in their enthusiasm to have her attend. John then expounded that Sophia had declined once, but Isabelle called a

second time whereupon Elder Mr. Bailey took his turn as well, both of them taking turns in persuading her, insisting

on her attendance. Logan’s eyes widened upon hearing this. “She definitely can’t go! That old geezer probably has

a trap in place to harm Sophia!” John grunted in agreement yet lamented, “I initially didn’t want Sophia to take the

risk either, but I also think that the Baileys might show their hand if she were to make an appearance. So, it’ll be a

golden opportunity to tip their hand.” That was the matter of fact. Logan also understood that using Sophia as bait

was their best bet to lure the Baileys out. The investigation regarding the shadow bank was wrapping up recently,

but it was truly a real bear to implicate the Bailey Family. Without them making any major move, it’d be difficult to

bring them down in a short time. Thus, Sophia was considered the point of breakthrough. .
