The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 1072

It was a call from Jasmine. Logan didn’t avoid her either, taking the call right away. On the other end, Jasmine asked him out for dinner, her voice cheerful. Logically speaking, it stood to reason for them to have dinner tonight. After all, Logan gave her flowers at noon, so it was standard operation for a normal couple to have a date at night. However, since she’d waited for his phone call the entire day to no avail, she could only take the initiative to phone him.

Logan’s brows unconsciously furrowed. “Tonight? I don’t think I can make it since I’m otherwise occupied.”

Jasmine paused for a heartbeat. “With a very urgent matter?”

Logan grunted, “Yes. It’s a very urgent matter, so I can’t make it tonight.”

Actually, it was rather obvious that Jasmine was a touch disappointed. Sighing lightly, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll leave you to it. We’ve got plenty of time, so we’ll just go out another time.”

Without saying anything superfluous, Logan hung up in short order.

At this, Lola guffawed. “What is it that you’d be reluctant to say?” Sighing soundlessly, Logan then briefly relayed everything John told him today. Lola instantly understood his meaning. “You want me to masquerade as Sophia during the latter half,” she reckoned. Logan grunted in affirmation. “I know this is quite a risk, so I’m merely asking. If you oppose—” “I don’t mind,” Lola agreed right away. She was a person who abhorred evil in nature, and her former profession was even more dangerous than this, yet she’d never once been afraid. However, there was something she just couldn’t figure out. “Why is the Bailey Family targeting Miss Gwendolyn?” It was a tad troublesome for Logan to explain this since John kept the matters regarding the Bailey Family under wraps during the meal they previously had. Thus, he really didn’t know how to explain everything about the Baileys now. Frowning, he considered for a while before demurring, “I’ll explain everything to you when the matter is resolved. At present, it’s just suspicion, so we’re not all that certain yet.

” Lola stared at him for a good while before nodding. “Alright, I trust you.” It was rare that she demonstrated trust in him, but Logan couldn’t muster up a shred of elation. He merely pressed his lips together tightly and gave her a half-smile. Thereafter, the food was served. While eating, neither spoke much. Lola merely asked him what she needed to prepare for the birthday celebration in the very beginning. However, Logan wasn’t sure about the details either, so he suggested meeting up with John some time to discuss the matter. They only exchanged a few words throughout the meal, so the rest of the time was spent in silence. During the meal, Jasmine sent Logan a message—a selfie of her eating out. .
