The Returning Ex Chapter 1082

He’s only skilled at the poker table, but in everything else, he has a one-track mind!

Jasmine seemed to be used to Logan’s blasé attitude, for she merely shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll just sit here and listen as you guys talk. I’m not particularly bored.”

At this, Sophia viewed her in a new light. She’s still as cool as a cucumber when he’s gone this far? How mild-tempered is she?

Lola went over and sat down beside Sophia. The first thing she did was to ask John what she needed to prepare for Ernest’s birthday celebration. Due to the uniqueness of her former profession, she always carried some weapons with her when she went undercover. While she certainly couldn’t carry any lethal weapons, she wanted to know whether she could arm herself with simple weapons such as knives and daggers.

While speaking on this subject, John’s attitude was particularly serious and solemn. He said that something might happen that day, so if she had any self-defense weapons that could be carried on the body, she should have them ready. Then, he even brought up the possibility of him being lured away, insisting that she had to always keep her guard up.

Lola nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m an expert at handling such a situation.”

Beside her, Logan thought for a while before interjecting, “By the way, that old geezer from the Bailey Family seems to have also invited my family, but I don’t quite remember whether it was Lynett or Lydia. How about I ask them at home later and attend as well?”

Surprise inundated John. “Your family has also been invited?”

Logan nodded. “I remember them mentioning this. If we’re invited, I’ll also attend that day.” After saying that, he turned and gazed at Lola. “I’ll protect you then.”

Lola blinked before bursting into giggles. “You protecting me? Forget it. Don’t mess things up for me. It’ll be a hassle if I’ve got to protect you then.”

Feeling as though he’d been insulted, Logan’s eyes widened a smidge, and he leaned forward. “You don’t believe that I can protect you?”

Due to the negligible distance between them and his overly serious expression, all of Lola’s preformulated teasing remarks got stuck in her throat.

At the side, Sophia fixed her eyes intently on Logan. Subsequently, she shifted her gaze on Jasmine who was beside him, only to see that she was noticeably shaken, gaping at Logan with hurt and incredulity written all over her eyes. Actually, this is normal considering his previous attitude and style, so perhaps he doesn’t find it suggestive. However, his status is slightly different now since he has a girlfriend. Thus, it’s somewhat inappropriate for him to speak to Lola in such a manner.

She hurriedly gave a bark of laughter and teased him, saying, “Miss Hunt doesn’t need you to protect her, Logan! Have you forgotten how Miss Hunt subdued you in the past? This method of yours to regain your pride is rather off target. You should just consider something else. Perhaps you’re truly not her match in this.”

Failing to grasp the implicit meaning behind her words, Logan exclaimed, “I don’t believe that! Do you dare bet with me, Lola Hunt?”

Lola pursed her lips. A few seconds later, she asked, “What’s the bet?”

Chuckling, Logan’s voice deepened, his tone threaded with solemnity and seriousness. “We’ll bet whether I can protect you if something happens then!”

At the side, Sophia sucked in a breath. This man truly has no fear that his girlfriend might kill him!
