The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1244

Shawn stood in place, frustrated that his plan failed.

Lola couldn’t go back in if he didn’t leave. She didn’t take her keys with her, which meant she had to knock so Logan would open the door for her. Obviously, she couldn’t do that with Shawn here.

Shawn took a deep breath. “This is my last piece of advice for you, Lola. The Jeffersons are too much for you to take. He just sees you as a plaything. Once he gets tired of you, he’ll throw you away, and that’s it for you.”

“You don’t have to tell me that,” she said impatiently. “You…” Before she could finish, Lola heard the door unlocking behind her, much to her shock. She quickly looked back and saw the door opened by a few inches. Since she was standing in the way, the door bumped into her and stopped opening. At this point, she had to let Logan out, so Lola sighed and got out of the way.

Logan pushed the door all the way through, and he looked flabbergasted. “So you were standing outside? Did you forget your k—” He stopped after seeing Shawn, and his face fell.

Shawn’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Logan, for Logan was the one who got him demoted. He’d worked for so many years and was finally getting a promotion, but because of Logan, all his hard work was for nothing. Since then, he hated Logan, and he also looked down on him. He’s only this powerful because of his family, not him.

Lola explained languidly, “He came by to say hi.” She wasn’t worried Logan would take it the wrong way.

Logan pursed his lips and hugged her. “Don’t just greet anyone who says hi to you. What if they’re evil?”

Unbidden, Lola grinned. “Alright, alright. I get it.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

They showed public affection, ignoring Shawn. Shawn was displeased, but all he could do was stand there quietly. After all, he couldn’t yell at Logan, or else that’d be the end of the line for him.

On the other hand, Logan didn’t care about him. Shawn wouldn’t dare do anything to him, so he went back into the house with Lola without even sparing him a look. Lola kept quiet until the door was closed. Then, she laughed. “Did you see his face?”

Logan cupped her chin and gave her a kiss. “Why’d you see him alone? What did you two talk about?”

Lola wrapped her arms around him and leaned against his embrace. “He came to tell me that you’re a jerk, and that your clubhouse used to face frequent raids by the police. And because your family’s rich, you must’ve had a lot of flings. Plus, with your good looks, he concluded that you’re a playboy.”

Logan guffawed. He knew Shawn must have said it worse without even guessing, then he pinched her cheek. “Oh, you.” Now that he wasn’t sleepy anymore, he and Lola went to the sofa. Lynett’s birthday banquet would be held on the next day, so they’d have to attend it at the Jefferson Mansion. Since nobody else would be there, they didn’t have to prepare much. Thus, Logan told Lola to attend it without any worries. “I’d skip out on these sometimes. They don’t really care anyway.” It was obvious that the Jeffersons didn’t think it was too important.
