The Returning Ex Chapter 1085

Sophia has this hint of obstinacy as well, but hers is tempered with slight girlish coquettishness and an unwillingness to admit defeat. It’s somewhat different from Lola’s obstinacy. Old Mrs. Constance then asked whether she had a boyfriend.

Lola hesitated for a moment before nodding shyly. “I do.”

Sophia was stunned, as was Jasmine who was sitting at the side. I’ve never heard Logan mentioning this. Considering his shameless demeanor toward Lola, he would’ve long since blathered if she has a boyfriend. However, he didn’t even mention a single word.

Tucking her hair behind her ear, Lola explained, “He’s from my hometown, and I got acquainted with him from a blind date some time back. We just made our relationship official a while ago.”

The corners of his mouth turning up in a smirk, Logan tutted. “That man actually came to see her empty-handed last time.”

Glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes, Sophia couldn’t resist chiding, “What has that got to do with you? Miss Hunt didn’t even say that she was bothered, so why are you butting your nose into it?”

Logan shot her a glare, but he couldn’t think of anything he could say to rebuff her even after mulling it over for a long time.

Lola nodded. “He’s quite an insensitive man, so perhaps he fails to consider a lot of things.”

At the side, Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. If she has a boyfriend, then my worries seem to have been misplaced. Therefore, Logan’s particularly tender treatment of her back then probably didn’t mean anything.

Old Mrs. Constance was rather curious about Lola’s boyfriend, convinced that the average man wouldn’t be able to lock her down considering her headstrong nature.

Laughing, Lola then expounded briefly on her boyfriend’s background, saying that he was a civil servant with a stable job. While he didn’t make much money, it was a secure job at least.

Logan studied her closely. Due to their negligible distance, he surprisingly discovered a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth, whereupon he inexplicably lamented, She finally embodies a hint of femininity when she smiles like this.

Old Mrs. Constance was probably really fond of Lola, for she kept asking her a myriad of questions, chattering incessantly.

Taking advantage of this, Sophia leaned in closer to Logan and brought up Fabian, saying that she’d phoned him back then. Despite his speech being exceedingly coherent while on the phone, he sounded very much dispirited. She then asked him what had happened, but he said nothing. Sensing that she wouldn’t be able to get much out of him, she now thought of asking Logan whether he knew anything about him. After all, he gets a lot of second-hand information that covers a wide range of things, so his intelligence network probably has some knowledge of Fabian’s issue.

Speaking of Fabian, Logan heaved a sigh. He lowered his voice, talking in a low whisper that was only audible to them both. “Fabian is emotionally wounded. He’d already won over the girl whom he likes, yet they were forcefully broken up by his family. Unlike you, that woman won’t turn back for the sake of love. She has truly firmed her resolve to dump him.”

At this point, Sophia could hazard her own guesses since she had gathered some clues from the conversation between Old Mrs. Blackwell and Fabian’s mother. Then, she put on a thoughtful look before asking, “How’s the girl doing now?”

Logan smacked his lips. “She seems to be living her life as usual. She has truly kicked Fabian out of her life, going to work and living life as usual after having an abortion.”
