The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1223

Lola supposed Logan needed more time to adjust to his situation. After some time, they received their order, which Lola laid out on the table before calling out to Logan. They sounded just like a married couple, and Logan was a little overexcited about it, so he asked Lola during mealtime, “Would you like to go to the amusement park? Why don’t we go there this afternoon?”

Almost immediately, Lola thought of another question. “Have you brought Jasmine to the amusement park too?”

Oh, here it goes again. Logan heaved a long sigh. “Darling, can’t we ignore the people who are no longer important?”

“Is she not an important figure?” Lola stared at him. “Don’t you know questions regarding an ex are always inevitable?”

Logan pouted while putting on his best puppy-dog eyes. Although Lola just decided to not mention Jasmine to save herself some heartbreak, she sure had such a quick change of heart, since she started interrogating him again soon after.

Upon being reminded of Jasmine, Logan realized he had a hard time defining their relationship. Truth be told, he didn’t really think of her as his ex, as no lovers would behave like how they did, which made their relationship feel more like that of friends than lovers. With that in mind, he turned to face Lola. “Lola, I am confident that I only ever fell for you. Although I did call Jasmine my girlfriend some time ago, I never really loved her. This is true, and I can make an oath if that’s what you need.”

Lola stuck her tongue out at him before continuing to chew on her food; she wasn’t one to believe in oaths. After a while, Logan picked up his fork, only to find himself elaborating more on his circumstances. “I really didn’t know how to deal with girls back then. In fact, going to the amusement park was your idea. Although I did bring her there once, we didn’t get to have much fun, as I was a little annoyed, and I never liked amusement parks that much anyway.”

After taking a few bites out of her meal, Lola paused as she knew she was being unreasonable for holding that against him. Not only did it solve nothing, but it would also affect her relationship with Logan. Turning to watch him, she could see him wearing a flattering look on his face as he said, “You have to trust that I am telling the truth. I would never lie to you.” Logan seemed both pitiful and sad.

Therefore, she patted her forehead before saying, “Fine. We will never bring this up ever again.” She decided she had to keep her word, as she already had enough of herself being such a drag. When Lola was working on a case, she was a rational person. Initially, she regarded romance as being similar to that, only to find out that it was in fact completely different from everything she’d ever known.

They continued eating, but they did so in silence. After the meal, Logan helped put the lunchboxes away. When Lola was about to go clean the balcony, he hugged her from behind. “Don’t overthink this. I didn’t do anything to degrade my own worth, and I will remain loyal to you and you only.”

It wasn’t until a while later that Lola nodded. “I sure hope you will remember what you just said.”

Logan almost wound up making an oath. “I will remember it for as long as I live.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
