The Returning Ex Chapter 1171

If this had happened in the past, Lola would’ve long since rebuffed him soundly. Logan didn’t even notice the anomaly, merely resuming his remonstration of the Baileys.

Old Mrs. Constance sighed. Halfway through the meal, she lowered her voice and said to Sophia, “Say, as I look on, the two of them do make quite a good match.”

Sophia’s lips curved into a smile. “Yeah, I’ve been thinking that for a while now.” As she said this, she looked at the two of them. They’re indeed well-matched, one handsome and the other beautiful.

When they were done eating, John then took his leave to drive Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia home. As they bid each other farewell at the clubhouse entrance, Sophia again thanked Lola. The juice today had been drugged, so it’ll definitely affect the fetus no matter the substance if I’d drunk it since I’m now pregnant. She’d done me a great favor this time, and I’ll remember her help forever.

However, Lola didn’t consider it a big deal. She patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it. This is nothing to me, and I didn’t do it just to help you. It was also for the sake of helping my ex-colleagues solve a case.” Her words were exceedingly practical, and she didn’t try currying favor at all.

Thus, Sophia liked her all the more. Finally, she squeezed her hand. “Come and visit me when you’re free. I’m at home every day with nothing much to do.”

Lola nodded. “Sure, I’ll go and visit you when I’m free.”

That was the extent of their conversation. Sophia then followed John over to the car, climbed in, and left.

Lola remained standing at the clubhouse entrance, while Logan was at the side, leaning against the door frame. Rubbing her hands, Lola looked over her shoulder at him. “Aren’t you going to drive me home?”

Logan let out a sigh. “Let’s go.” It was obvious that he didn’t want to drive her home at this time.

Upon seeing his disgruntled expression, Lola laughed. “How about taking a stroll before that?”

When he heard that, Logan was startled before nodding hastily. “Sure!”

The two of them didn’t drive, merely exiting the clubhouse and walking down the street. Logan couldn’t help mentioning the incident back at Bailey Residence again. “I truly wanted to protect you today, but I never thought they’d act at that time. I assumed that they would’ve at least waited until it was dark.”

“I didn’t expect it either,” Lola said. “But Elder Mr. Bailey is more experienced than we are, so he definitely anticipated our thoughts. Thus, he did the exact opposite. Besides, it wasn’t feasible to eat and drink nothing there for the entire afternoon, so it was inevitable.”

Despite her saying so, Logan still felt upset. I vowed to protect her, yet I got split up with her. It’s truly a slap to the face!

After a brief hesitation, Lola added, “In the end, it was still you who saved us.” If it weren’t for the two tranquilizer darts he shot which broke the stalemate, they wouldn’t have been able to get out of that mess so quickly. Thus, the credit still belonged to him.

Smacking his lips, Logan turned and glanced at her. “This is the first time you’ve ever consoled me.”

Lola chuckled. “I’m merely stating the facts, not complimenting you.”

They strolled along the street for ten minutes or so before making their way back upon seeing that it was getting late. On their way back, Logan said that he’d urged his friends to apply for membership at Lola’s gym to support her business.
