The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 1373

Beside Logan, Lola covered her face with both hands. “It’s on me. I was wrong, so let’s not mention this anymore, okay?”

Logan clutched his chest. “You can’t imagine how anguished I was back then. I’d just decorated the gym secretly the night before, and while I was exhausted, I was still very much gleeful at the thought of giving her a surprise the next day, but she wanted to break up with me the next day.”

Lola was truly embarrassed, and she also felt that she’d wronged him greatly.

After hearing the story, Sophia nodded. “That was indeed aggravating for you, but any other girl would’ve probably reacted similarly.” As men and women are different physiologically, it also makes them different psychologically. When a woman is confronted with such a situation, she won’t ask directly under normal circumstances.

For instance, Lola gave him plenty of chances, asking him where he went the day before. This was of course the most common reaction for most women. Thus, her next course of action was considered reasonable since she didn’t get an accurate answer out of him at the end of the day. Regardless, the most innocent party in this was Logan. He was filled with hope, yet he ended up doused with a bucket of cold water.

… Logan and Lola then moved back to their house that had been cleaned from top to bottom. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt came over as well. “I don’t think you two should cook. Lola has just conceived and will be a bit sensitive, so it’s better that she doesn’t inhale so much fumes. Just come over to our place when you’re hungry.” Lola nodded. “Okay.” Logan loved having free food and drinks, so he instantly agreed. “Sure! We’ll just go along with anything you decide.” Thereafter, Mrs. Hunt said, “I’ve emptied your refrigerator. Don’t simply eat whatever you want on the sly. I just don’t understand why you can’t endure it for a bit.” Lola knew that this remark was directed at her, so she pursed her lips without saying anything. Beside her, Logan gently rubbed her arm in consolation. All at once, Mrs. Hunt swiveled and stared at him. “You can’t just indulge her. It’s your child in her stomach, so you’ve got to consider the baby as well.” Logan nodded. “Yes, yes. You’re right, Mom.” Sometimes, Mrs. Hunt truly didn’t know what to say about him. He was too well-mannered, agreeing to anything at all, but putting it into practice was another story.

Then, she whirled around and went to wash some fruits for Lola. As she stood in the kitchen, she remarked loudly, “Your Aunt Violet phoned me a few days ago, saying that she had a dream. She dreamed that you brought your child to visit her. Well, you didn’t have any pregnancy dreams, so she had one on your behalf.” Lola, who was sitting on the sofa, was surprised when she heard that. Speaking of pregnancy dreams, she was reminded of something else. She fixed her gaze on his father. “I had a dream last night. I dreamed of someone standing beside my bed, looking down at me. Then, she bent down and touched my stomach.” Subsequently, she added, “It was an old woman.” Beside her, Logan was stunned at first before he shook his head. “No matter the veracity of its symbolism, it’s probably not my mother.” When his mother passed away, she was still quite young, so she couldn’t be included in the ranks of old women. After a moment’s contemplation, Mr. Hunt suggested, “In that case, I’ll find a time and go back to visit your grandmother’s grave. We didn’t visit her grave and inform her when the two of you got married, so we’ve got to notify her now that you’re with child. Regardless of whether your dream meant something else, I’ll go back and visit her.” Pursing her lips, Lola hesitated for a moment. “I want to go too. I want to tell her myself.” Logan didn’t object. “Then, I’ll go with you.”
