The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1036

After Logan got back into the car, he opened the box without further ado. Inside the container were some preserved meat that had been cut into small pieces. Upon chewing on one piece of it, he found the food surprisingly delicious.

Then, he put down the food and gazed at the passageway through the window. A moment later, he started the engine and left the place.

On the way back, he received a call from Jasmine. She said that water was leaking from the tap in her kitchen, so she would want him to go over and help her fix it.

Displeased, Logan told her to call the management of her apartment. I can’t believe she’s asking me to fix her tap. Is she out of her mind?

Embarrassed, Jasmine told him that the people managing the apartment had gone off work, so it was inappropriate to call them at this hour.

With a frown, Logan rebuked, “So, you mean it’s inappropriate to call them at this hour, but it’s okay to ask me to go over in the middle of the night?”

Jasmine was rendered speechless by his sharp words.

Seeing as she remained silent, Logan said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up the call now.”

Before Jasmine could react, the call was disconnected from the other side.

After tossing his phone to the passenger’s seat, Logan felt irritated. How could she call me to help her fix her tap? Am I her nanny or what? I can’t believe that she always calls me over very trivial matters. She really has to learn to be more independent.

When he returned to the clubhouse, he saw Lorraine waiting for him in the hall. Hence, he hurriedly got out of the car and scurried over. “Lorraine, why are you here? What’s wrong?”

With a calm expression, Lorraine turned to him. “I happened to pass by this place, so I thought I could stop by to meet you.” Before he could utter a word, she continued, “I’m going back to our family residence because Dad’s health has deteriorated. Will you come with me?” Then, she caught a glimpse of the bag in his hand and inquired, “What is it?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Logan replied, “Oh, a friend passed this box of preserved meat to me.”

Preserved meat? Lorraine arched her brow. “I didn’t know you’d eat preserved meat.”

Logan had a fine taste in food, so he would eat freshly cooked meat normally.

Not wanting to go on with this topic, Logan said, “Let’s go. Did you come here by taxi or your own car? Do you want me to drive?”

Lorraine grunted. “I came here by taxi. Let’s get into your car.”

Still holding the bag in his hand, Logan turned around and entered his vehicle with Lorraine, after which they returned to the Jefferson Mansion.

Old Mr. Jefferson had been under the weather recently. Fortunately, he wasn’t stricken with any serious illnesses, as he was just suffering from old-age problems like high blood pressure and hyperglycemia. Also, his throat felt sore because he had been coughing incessantly for the past few days. As a result, he was always accompanied by a family doctor now.

After Logan and Lorraine stepped into the living room, they saw their dad coughing while he was covering his mouth with a piece of tissue.

The other Jefferson ladies were there as well. Seeing Lorraine and Logan, Lynett said, “Logan, you’re back. Come here quickly. Dad misses you dearly because you haven’t come home for a long time.”

After putting down Lola’s gift on the table, Logan inquired, “Dad, are you alright?”

Old Mr. Jefferson stared at him and yelled, “You’re finally back! I thought you would only come home to attend my funeral after I passed away!”

Seeing as his dad was still energetic, Logan reckoned that he should be fine.
