The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1228

Logan burst into laughter before comforting her. “Don’t you worry. I am definitely the lowliest among my family. Haven’t you just bought yourself a pet fish some time ago? I dare say that even the fish would be of a higher status than me.”

Chuckling, Lola gave him a pinch on his waist before falling silent. After some time, Logan got another call from the clubhouse to inform him that their meal had arrived downstairs. Logan informed them of the unit number, and within a minute, there came a knock on the door.

Logan hurriedly went to take it, and Lola was surprised by the amount of food that he ordered. With multiple bags in their hands, four men were seen standing by the door, delivering the food to them. Lola had to admit that it was a feat in itself when she walked up to check on them.

All of a sudden, she felt like she had sinned upon laying eyes on the sheer amount of food despite having no knowledge of it while Logan was ordering them over the phone. It would be a waste if we can’t finish the food, she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, the four men greeted Lola in unison as soon as they saw her. “Good evening, Mrs. Jefferson.”

Lola wasn’t the only one caught off guard by their address, as Logan was the same, which led to him feigning anger while motioning to kick the rascals who came up with the idea. “You scared my girlfriend, you rascals!”

The four attendants who delivered the meal burst into laughter as soon as Logan said so. After that, they took everything into the house, even placing them on the table considerately. The food filled up the entire table, so instead of a meal, it felt more like they were setting up for a banquet. As soon as they were done setting the table, the attendants snuck up to Logan’s side before one of them retrieved a bottle of wine that he handed to Logan. “We also made sure to bring this with us.”

Bewildered, Logan took the wine from them before laughing out loud. He gave the attendant that presented the wine a pat on the shoulder before praising him. “You guys sure are thoughtful.”

The man chuckled before saying, “Alright, you should take your time to savor the meal. We will be leaving now.” When Lola returned from the kitchen with some dining utensils in her hands, the men were all gone.

Logan gave the bottle of wine he held a good shake before letting out a chuckle. Meanwhile, Lola merely glanced at it without giving much thought, only to retrieve two wine glasses from the kitchen after some hesitation. As soon as Logan saw the glasses, he furrowed his brows. “I never knew you have wine glasses in your house! Who did you drink with?”

Smiling, Lola sat down by the table. “I once went to a rather gruesome crime scene while on duty, and for a week’s time after that, I could hardly sleep, so I bought some red wine that I downed before sleeping. I drank alone, and I bought the glasses from a mall, which were sold in pairs.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Logan nodded. “Fair enough.”

Since Lola had a corkscrew in her house as well, Logan uncorked the wine before pouring a glass of wine for each of them. The wine was probably taken from the clubhouse, but they didn’t have a decanter, so they left the wine in the glass for the time being while they proceeded to enjoy their food.

Lola was utterly famished, so she dug in without even sparing the time to chat with Logan. After a while, Logan raised his wine glass before swaying it in front of Lola, who didn’t seem to care much about etiquette as she quickly clinked her glass with Logan’s. Then, she downed the wine in one go.

Although she seldom drank, she drank a lot whenever she did. However, Logan didn’t remind her to slow down, merely filling up her glass again with a smile. Lola didn’t even glance his way while she continued eating. Throughout the meal, Logan clinked his glass with hers multiple times, and she

downed her wine every time he did so. Lola didn’t actually know how well she could hold her liquor, as she seldom drank in order to remain alert at all times.
