The Returning Ex Chapter 1077

Lola then replied to Logan with a question, asking him if there was anything wrong.

Is there anything wrong? Actually, no. Instead of sending back a reply, Logan called her outright.

This time, Lola answered his call promptly, and she immediately asked whether there was something else he wanted to tell her about Ernest’s birthday celebration.

After a brief silence, Logan said, “On second thought, this matter likely involves a high risk factor, so I want to confirm it with you. Are you sure you’ve given this due consideration? No one will blame you if you decline.”

Lola chuckled. “I’m sure. I’ve done such a thing before, so my ability to think on my feet is most probably better than others. Therefore, I’m the most suitable candidate for this.” At present, her only concern was that she’d give away the game at Ernest’s birthday celebration. After all, they’d pay particular attention to Sophia since they were targeting her. She looked very much different from her with nothing in common. Thus, there’d still be differences no matter how much she disguised herself. This was her only worry.

At the other end, Logan heaved a sigh. He then said that he’d be having someone do a makeover for her, rendering her figure as close to Sophia’s as possible. Also, he reminded her that John would be with her then, so he’d help her to cover up a bit.

Since he’d said as much, Lola had no worries anymore. She was probably lying on the bed, for she stretched languidly. “Okay, then. If so, there’s no problem anymore.”

However, Logan was still feeling unsettled. He turned nagging, reminding her multiple times to prioritize her safety when the time came. Lola became a tad impatient at his unrelenting badgering. “Say, Young Master Logan, would you just stop harping on this?”

This time, Logan didn’t get peeved. “I’m just worried,” he lamented in a sullen voice.

At this, Lola couldn’t bring herself to continue teasing him. Putting it bluntly, his so-called ‘worry’ was actually concern for her safety, after all. She pursed her lips. “I’ll be fine. I’ve been in far more perilous situations than this in the past, but I’ve overcome them in the end, so everything will be fine.”

Logan let out a long sigh without bothering to keep it muffled from her. Thus, she heard him loud and clear through the phone. Subsequently, it was as though something nudged her heart. This man is really making me a tad discomfited.

After a brief moment of silence, Logan concluded, “It’s late, so I won’t bother you further. Have a good night’s sleep.” His voice was a touch solemn, wholly different from his usual carefree attitude. Without waiting for her response, he then hung up.

On the other end, Lola gripped her cell phone. After spacing out for a while, she slowly placed her cell phone down, having no explanation for the sudden feeling that surged within her.

After hanging up the phone, Logan turned off the lights and closed his eyes as he lay on the bed. In reality, he could somewhat tell that this behavior of his was rather abnormal. Yanking the covers over his head in frustration, he decided to cool off his chaotic feelings. Thus, he didn’t seek out Lola in the next few days.

On Saturday, he even took Jasmine out for a date. Jasmine wanted to go to the amusement park, so he drove her there. When he bought their tickets, he bought the best admissions tickets. However, the moment he stepped in and saw the childish rides, a pounding headache assailed him. He’d never wanted to go on such rides when he was young, so he was all the more annoyed at the sight of them now. Jasmine, on the other hand, seemed very much enthusiastic, dragging him along for one ride after another.
