The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1031

Sophia turned over and rested her head on John’s arm. “If Isabelle wants to leave her family, this is the perfect chance for her.”

After some deliberation, John remained silent and pulled her into his embrace. Maybe I should look for Isabelle and ask her about it. However, she doesn’t seem to have the intention of leaving anytime soon.

For the following days, Sophia paid more attention to online news.

The leaders and business partners of the shadow bank were arrested, but they all claimed that they were clueless about the basement’s existence. They said that they merely rented the factory, which was then used as the base for the bank.

Since they were not in the business of producing anything, they didn’t attempt to inspect the entire building, as they just needed the factory to be their hideout to engage in their business. Therefore, they didn’t know why there was a basement beneath the factory, and they didn’t need one to operate their business.

Apparently, they had agreed on a common excuse beforehand. The police had no choice but to keep on investigating the case.

Judging from what she read online, Sophia concluded that there was little progress regarding the case for the time being.

Since she didn’t have much information at hand, it was practically impossible for her to analyze the case and come to any meaningful conclusion. However, she didn’t want to talk to John about this because he would always hide some information from her by telling her not to worry about this case.

Just when Sophia was frustrated, she decided to call Logan, who happened to be on a date. After she asked him what he was doing, she heard a woman inquiring, “Logan, do you want to eat this?”

Startled, Sophia fell silent.

Logan turned to the woman beside him and replied, “It’s alright. You can have it.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The woman giggled. “Alright. I’ll have it all by myself.”

She’s speaking in a coquettish voice. Apparently, they’re very close to each other. For that instant, Sophia was lost for words because she didn’t expect that not long after Logan claimed that it was easy for him to find a girlfriend, he really got into a romantic relationship.

Although she couldn’t make out whose voice that was, she was certain that the woman wasn’t Lola because Lola would never speak to Logan like this.

Seeing as Sophia never uttered a word, Logan questioned, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking?”

After a laugh, Sophia asked, “Is it convenient for you to speak now?”

Understanding her hint, Logan replied, “Give me a minute.” He then said to the woman beside him, “Enjoy your food. I’m going out to answer this call.”

The woman didn’t seem to be displeased that Logan had to go somewhere else to answer the call, and she replied in an obedient manner, “Sure. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

After Logan said it was okay for her to speak, Sophia then inquired, “Logan, have you really been seeing someone?”

She didn’t believe it when John mentioned this to her because she thought that Logan was lying. Frankly speaking, given Logan’s temperament, it was hard for him to get into a romantic relationship even though he was rich.

There was no doubt that Logan was a loyal friend, but it was apparent that he didn’t know how to love a woman. Having been friends with him for a long time, Sophia never knew that he had other female friends, so she wondered how he got a girlfriend.

Logan didn’t seem willing to give her a definitive answer, so he muttered, “I think so.”
