The Returning Ex Chapter 1052

Then, Logan turned his attention to Jasmine. “This is Jasmine Xanthos. She is an instructor in a dance academy.”

It looks like there are some important details missing in his introduction. Sophia curled her lips upward and stared at Logan while nodding. “A dance instructor? That’s impressive.” Then, she looked at Jasmine and greeted her. “Nice to meet you, Miss Xanthos.”

“Nice to meet you too,” Jasmine smiled and replied. After that, she kept quiet and said nothing more.

At the sight of Jasmine’s strange reaction, Sophia couldn’t help but wonder about the reason behind that. I bet Jasmine’s surprised to see us because Logan didn’t mention a single thing about me and John to her. Otherwise, she would have been more at ease and natural.

During the meal, Lola tried to bring up the matter about the mastermind who ran the shadow bank, but John subtly changed the subject to something else. Witnessing their interaction, Sophia paused and stared at John in confusion. Even though she didn’t know much about the shadow bank, she believed that Elder Mr. Bailey was the mastermind behind all this. Thus, she was baffled to notice her husband’s strange reaction in defending the suspect.

Seemingly noticing that as well, Logan exchanged gazes with Sophia as if they were telling each other they felt the same way. While both of them didn’t say a single thing about that, Logan echoed John’s words and changed the subject by talking about Lola’s gym. About the gym, Logan had a lot to share, starting with the people whom Lola had rubbed the wrong way since her gym was frequently visited by troublemakers.

Lola smiled in a helpless manner as she was aware of how unpopular she used to be. After all, she was a police officer who had always played by the book. For that, she had made herself so many enemies that she had lost count of those who came back to her for retaliation.

Sophia quickly said, “Well, I think you did the right thing. At least you’ve lived up to the expectations we taxpayers have for you as a police. Our society needs more people who are full of justice, just like you.”

Lola chuckled in response. “My job would have been much easier if only everyone else had understood us like you guys.” Soon, she was reminded of Logan’s belligerent character. “But there are simply too many people like him out there, and they always make our job a lot harder than it has to be.”

Logan’s eyes widened upon hearing that. “You really do have the nerve to say that, don’t you? Have you forgotten about the problem that I took care of for you back at the gym? I chased those troublemakers away, didn’t I? Where is your gratitude, lady?” After saying that, Logan clicked his tongue and added, “Your memories are full of nothing but all the bad things about me. You’re so mean!”

Lola immediately shot a gaze at Jasmine while explaining herself. “Don’t brag about how kindly you’ve treated me. Did you forget that you were one of those who came messing around at my gym? I knew those guys were your men, so do you really think I have no idea about that at all?” Then, she turned her attention to Jasmine once more and said, “We only started hanging around with each other recently. We were enemies before that.”

Logan stared at Lola for a while and moved his lips, seemingly wanting to talk back. However, he soon gave it up when he couldn’t think of a comeback. Upon witnessing his funny reaction, Sophia burst into laughter and said, “Haha. It looks like Logan has met his natural enemy!”

In the meantime, Jasmine was feeling uncomfortable while witnessing their happy interaction. Despite her usual outgoing personality, she found it hard to fit in at that moment. Furthermore, Logan seemed as if he had completely forgotten about her, only concentrating on talking with Lola.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
