The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1378

Logan hurriedly strode forward, worried that Mr. Hunt would end up on the losing end in the dispute. When he

reached the courtyard, he then saw that it was only Mr. and Mrs. Hunt as well as a middle-aged woman in the entire

yard. The middle-aged woman was indeed someone whom he was well-acquainted with, and they’d even had a

squabble back then. It was Shawn’s mother. At the sight of Mrs. Long, the crease of his brows deepened.

Mrs. Long had also caught sight of him, whereupon she instantly put on a beaming smile. Putting aside her

argument with Mr. Hunt, she pivoted and headed toward him. “Oh, you’re here, Logan? It’s been a long time.”

Stilling slightly, Logan stared at her expressionlessly. We’re not even acquaintances, yet this woman addressed me

so familiarly!

“Why are you here?” Logan’s tone was also disgruntled.

Mrs. Long chortled. “I just passed by, so I came over for a look upon hearing that you’re back.”

As far as I know, the Longs don’t live in this village, so how could she possibly have ‘passed by’?

At the side, Mrs. Hunt had also dropped the polite smile from her face, her expression chagrined. “Lola is already

married, and she’s been over with Shawn for ages. So, what’s the meaning of you coming here again?”

Mrs. Long heaved a sigh. “You’ve misunderstood me, dear friend. I’m not here to bring up the matter regarding

Lola and Shawn. I’m truly here just for a look.

” “What do you want to see?” Logan demanded. Taken aback, the smile on Mrs. Long’s face looked extremely fake.

“Even if Lola didn’t end up with Shawn, they can still be friends. Thus, it’s not necessary for the two families to

become enemies. Isn’t it good to just associate as fellow villagers?” It was as though she’d forgotten about the fact

that their family of three had once come over to kick up a fuss. Meanwhile, Lola had also awakened. Having been

awakened from a deep sleep by the racket, her head was spinning. She sat up in the bed and stared out. From her

angle, she just so happened to spot Mrs. Long’s countenance. After sitting for a while, she got up and went out. The

moment Mrs. Long saw Lola, her laughter increased in volume. “Oh, you finally came out, Lola! I was just

wondering why I didn’t see you.” Lola’s face was devoid of expression. “I was sleeping, but your ear-splitting voice

disrupted my sleep.” She’d seen Mrs. Long before when she was with Shawn. While she found her attitude rather

lacking at times, she still treated her respectfully since she was an elder. Now, however, things were different. She

was reminded of Shawn at the sight of her, and subsequently, everything Shawn had done. Family background was

truly important, so the fact that Shawn ended up in such disgrace now definitely had something to do with Mr. and

Mrs. Long’s teaching. Putting it bluntly, it was still the parents’ negligence. Upon seeing such an attitude from her,

Mrs.

Long’s expression changed. But with Logan there, she didn’t dare pull a long face with Lola, merely putting away

the awkward smile on her face. “Well, aren’t I here to look in on you now?” Lola sneered. “Do I need you to look in

on me? Am I very close with you?” No one expected her to suddenly get up in arms when she’d always been

amicable. Mrs. Long was stunned, almost passing out from fury at this rebuttal. Amusement flooded Logan. This

was his first time seeing Lola raving at someone else besides him since all of her temper was directed at him in the

past. Thus, he went over and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Don’t get angry. If you don’t want to see her,

we’ll just kick her out.” He was a man of his word, for just after he’d finished saying that to her, he turned to Mrs.

Long and glared at her. “Get out! You’re not welcomed.” Then, he again spoke softly to Lola. “Come, let’s go back in

and sleep for a while longer. You haven’t slept much.” Going along with his movements, Lola turned around and

followed him into the house. After closing the door behind them, Lola recalled Mrs. Long’s expression when Logan

humiliated her earlier, and she burst into laughter. Pinching her face, Logan leaned over and kissed her. Lola then

pushed him gently. “Behave.”
