The Returning Ex Chapter 1179

Lola didn’t quite know what to say to that, so she pursed her lips. A long while later, she harrumphed. However, it was slightly simpering, sounding as though she was being coquettish.

Chuckling, Logan took some dishes for her. “Eat.”

When they’d almost finished eating, Lola’s cell phone vibrated. She paid it no mind, not even casting it a glance. Sitting across from her, Logan’s eyes were sharp, so he instantly glimpsed the notification of a message on her lock screen. Lifting his eyes to her, he looked at her for a while before reaching out and snagging her cell phone after hesitating for a few seconds. Sure enough, it’s Shawn Long who sent her a message!

Lola, who was drinking water, hastily placed her glass down upon seeing his action. “What are you doing?”

Logan didn’t read the contents of the message, but at a single glance, he caught the start of it. Generally, Shawn wanted to ask her out to talk. The rest of the message wasn’t displayed, so he wasn’t sure whether he mentioned anything else. Then, he returned the cell phone to Lola. “This man is still pestering you.”

Taking the cell phone, Lola opened the message and scanned it. It’s a whole lot of crap again! Shawn’s ‘short essays’ had gotten increasingly emotional lately, but she found it extremely awkward. Of course, she never had much feelings for him, so all his so-called confidences had goosebumps rising on her skin. Then, she deleted the message in short order.

In an exasperated voice, she told Logan, “He just suffered a defeat with me, so he’ll give up when I continue ignoring him. Such people should just be given the cold shoulder.” Shawn and Logan are actually quite similar in some aspects. If I were to give him an inch, he’ll take a mile. If I ignore him, he’ll probably give up after some time.

Logan’s gaze stayed on her cell phone for a while before he nodded. “Perhaps.”

After they’d had dinner, he didn’t drive her home right away. Instead, he strolled around the area with her. At this hour, the atmosphere outside was starting to turn lively. As the two of them aimlessly walked along the street, Logan seized the opportunity to ask Lola about her family, such as when her grandmother passed away and where she was buried, as well as who was joining her in visiting her grandmother’s grave this time.

Seemingly having thought of something, Lola started reminiscing about the past. She related how her grandmother was initially one who valued males and attached less importance to females, so she was enraged when her mother gave birth to her, so much so that she spun on her heels and left the moment she heard that it was a girl at the delivery room door.

However, her grandmother who despised her then started doting on her when she slowly grew up, taking out all the delicious food in the house which she kept hidden in an iron box when she saw her. Frail and sickly, her grandmother had never lived an easy life. Before Lola had grown up, her grandmother passed away serenely on the bed without any family beside her on a bright morning. At this, her voice suddenly became choked. “None of our family was with her when she took her final breath. Everyone had gone out that morning. When we returned at noon, her body was already cold.”

Pressing his lips into a tight line, Logan deliberated for a moment before reaching out and taking her hand, interlocking their fingers together.

This time, Lola didn’t spurn him. Taking a deep breath, she feigned staunchness and chuckled. “While death is an inevitability in life, I just find her departure overly desolate.”
