The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1189

Shawn looked rather reluctant, but still, he dragged his feet over and said that he wanted to apologize to Lola.

Lola was still standing in the house. Beside her, Logan chuckled. “Go on and see what he has to say.”

Truthfully, Lola didn’t want to talk to Shawn. However, he then called out to her again, so she had no choice but to

go out.

Shawn’s expression was a tad complicated when he spotted her. Never had he imagined that the matter would be

blown into pieces at her hands. In his opinion, her family was just average, so while she had friends in authority due

to her former profession, he wasn’t at all afraid since all those people were bound by the law. He didn’t believe that

he’d be on the losing end, nor did he believe that they’d surreptitiously make things difficult for him.

However, never had it crossed his mind that Logan would be the variable in this. He didn’t take him seriously back

then, but he’d been put in his place today. Although he didn’t lose his job, he’d been stripped of his position. The

higher-ups didn’t give him a specific reason, but they hinted that he’d offended someone he shouldn’t have

offended, and they even urged him to settle the problem as soon as possible, else his days would be even worse.

This ‘someone’ couldn’t be Lola, so after mulling it over, he concluded that it was Logan who warned him today. He

initially thought that Logan was merely talking big, but unexpectedly, he truly had the ability to make life difficult for

him.

Shawn then cast his gaze into the house, but he didn’t see Logan. At this, rage consumed him. I’ve truly missed

taking him into consideration! If only I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have pestered Lola for so long! He pressed his

lips into a flat line, only apologizing to her after an eternity.

Then, he insisted that he didn’t mean anything, merely reluctant to break up with her since his feelings for her were

real. It was actually no different from the contents of his ‘short essays’ in the past; other than the apology at the

beginning, everything that followed was justification of his actions.

Regret assailed Lola for having come out, for she truly didn’t want to listen to this whole spiel. Thus, when he was

going to continue expounding on his ‘short essay,’ she held up a hand to stop him. “You don’t need to say so much,

Shawn. I’ve made myself clear to you. We’re indeed unsuited, and I’ve told you this.

As long as you stop pestering me, we’ll go our separate ways.” After staring at her for a long while, Shawn finally

nodded. “Okay, we’ll go our separate ways.” The two of them were very blunt, and the matter was seemingly cast

in stone. Lola then whirled around and went back into the house. Meanwhile, Logan was still gazing out with a half-

smile on his face. Mr. and Mrs. Long, on the other hand, were embarrassed at once. They were still holding gifts in

their hands, wavering between keeping up the inane talk and turning around to leave. Noticing Mrs. Long’s unease,

Mr. Hunt declared, “Take everything back, for we’re not going to accept them. Also, don’t come here anymore.

Just pretend that we’ve never been acquainted.” Mr. Long nodded. “Sure, sure, no problem.” Without putting down

the gifts, the Longs turned around and left the courtyard. When they’d reached the gate, Mrs. Long’s mutterings

drifted faintly into the air. However, she wasn’t cursing out the Hunts. Rather, she was castigating Mr. Long for his

cowardice, claiming that she’d been humiliated. Regardless, they asked for it!
