The Returning Ex Chapter 1120

John expressed his gratitude while facing Lola, which she responded to with a smile. “I’m not only doing it for you, as I also wish to uncover the mastermind.”

After giving a nod, John reminded Lola that employers from other companies might also greet her during the occasion. His request was that she remained calm if that happened, as he would do his best to fend them off. Aside from that, he also told Lola to prioritize her own safety before everybody else’s in case of an emergency. Lola understood all of those, as she already ran through multiple possible scenarios and their respective countermeasures during the past few days.

As soon as they were finished with the discussion, Sophia inquired Lola about her relationship with her boyfriend. Twirling his gaze, Logan stole a glance at Lola. With a smile on her face, she answered, “It’s alright, and as normal as can be. We don’t really have a thrilling or romantic story to tell.” It was to be expected as both Lola and her boyfriend were no longer young. In fact, they were way past that age.

What she said reminded Logan of the takeaway they ordered during their lunch date. It seemed to prove just how practical they were, all the while being painfully unromantic. Meanwhile, Sophia nodded before looking toward Logan. “Logan, how are things going with your girlfriend?”

Pulling her lips into a thin line, Lola made a point to not look at Logan while maintaining a serious expression.

“We broke up yesterday.” Logan spoke in such a nonchalant manner that it caught Sophia unawares.

On the other hand, John had a similar reaction. “Are you serious? Didn’t you just begin a relationship with her? Did you get into a fight with her?”

“Nah, nor were we capable of that.” Logan stretched himself out while leaning back in his chair. “It’s just that I realized all of a sudden that I don’t harbor romantic feelings toward her, so I figured I shouldn’t waste her time.”

While Sophia was sniggering, John wore a much more serious expression as he questioned, “How did you come to that conclusion all of a sudden? Don’t tell me you found someone you like, so you managed to figure things out by way of comparison?”

Although he didn’t answer John’s question, he turned his head slowly to glance at Lola. Despite the fact that Lola wasn’t looking at Logan directly, she had been paying close attention to him. Besides, Logan made such an obvious move while turning his head, so she couldn’t possibly miss out on his reaction. Without reason, her heart skipped a beat before her face heated up.

Upon seeing Logan’s reaction, both Sophia and John knew better than to pry any further, as both Logan and Lola would be embarrassed if they did that. With a nod, John agreed with Logan’s decision. “You made the right choice by telling her immediately to avoid wasting her time.”

They didn’t leave the study until it was time for dinner. Belinda seemed delighted to see Lola, all the while bombarding the latter with various questions that revolved around her boyfriend. On the other hand, Lola was a little embarrassed as she didn’t know a lot about her boyfriend. Most information she had she had gotten from the matchmaker, which she had yet to verify. Meanwhile, the man had paid her two visits, but neither lasted for a long time, so she didn’t get to know much about him.

Noticing that Lola wasn’t talking a heck of a lot about her boyfriend, Belinda nodded. “So it seems that you aren’t yet familiar with him. However, make sure to not rush things, as you must know more about each other before formally establishing a relationship.” Belinda lamented after that, “Blind dates these days are much different from how they used to be. During our days, a blind date pretty much meant a union, set in stone, but that doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Not only do the couples need to meet each others’ expectations, but they also have to meet the other party in person to check out if they like each other’s physical appearance, or else the blind date will be deemed a failure.”
