The Returning Ex

Chapter 1369

Failing to stifle her laughter, Lola doubled over. “How shameless! Don’t ever say this in front of others, for it’ll only make you seem a pervert.”

Logan snorted, a tad snobbish. “I won’t even say it if others want to hear it.”

“Have you told Ian about this?” Lola reminded him.

Upon hearing her words, Logan abruptly sat up. “Oh yes! I haven’t told Ian. How could I have forgotten this?” Mainly, it was because he was peeved by Sophia’s response. He initially planned to tell Ian after telling Sophia and John, but Sophia messed up his plans, vexing him so much that he’d completely forgotten what he was going to do.

Taking out his cell phone, he gave Ian a call. As it was late, Ian wasn’t busy anymore, so he picked up the call a while later. Logan truly couldn’t help himself, snickering before he’d even said a single word. At this, Ian simply asked, “What is it? Do you have good news to tell me?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

This time, Logan decided to say it outright without trying to create any suspense. If he manages to guess it again like Sophia, then it’ll be pointless. Thus, he grunted in affirmation. “I do have something to share with you. Ian, I’m going to be a father!”

Ian chuckled. “I knew it.”

All at once, Logan’s expression froze. “How did you know it as well? Where did I go wrong again?”

“It’s quite easy to guess. I know you too well,” Ian answered.

Ah, it’s no surprise at all!

On the other end, Ian let out a sigh. “It’s good. Sophia is already a mother, and you’re going to be a father soon. Both of you have your own families now.”

While no one could be certain of Ian’s feelings when he uttered this remark, a spark of sorrow lodged within Logan after hearing this. “If you so desire it, you can also have a family of your own in no time. Look at your good looks and fame. Many young girls like you,” he comforted.

Ian gave a bark of laughter. “All this is superficial.” Back then, my mother was also famous and beautiful, with lots of men claiming that they loved her. She’d had a few relationships before she met Bryce Morgan, but in the end, she couldn’t escape the same fate. Hence, all so-called looks and fame are nothing more than add-ons. I’ve never thought of using all this to get myself a spouse.

However, his tone then immediately changed to one threaded with an unmistakable hint of joy. “Congratulations, Logan! You’re really far-sighted.”

At this, Logan guffawed. “I just came to this point naturally. I’ve never thought that I’d be here one day.” He’d never planned his life in detail. After all, life couldn’t be all that bad as long as one had money these days. He was previously scorned by his family who asserted that he might end up spending his twilight years alone, so he thought back then that if all else failed, he’d move himself into a high-end nursing home when he was old and become a wealthy old bachelor who was envied by all. He felt that it wasn’t too bad, thus took a laissez-faire attitude toward life. But who could have known that change was ever present, and he’d come thus far with the police officer he detested most in the past?

Beside him, Lola dozed off before he’d finished his phone call.

After exchanging a few more words with Ian, Logan hung up. Then, he quietly went to take a shower and hugged her from behind when he came back. The family of three was truly blissful.

The next day, Sophia again gave Lola a call. She was still in her confinement period and couldn’t go out, so she wanted to invite Lola to her house. Lola had nothing to do in the first place, and Sophia’s little boy flashed in her mind when she received her call, propelling her to make a visit. “Sure! I’ll just get ready for a bit and come over in a while.”

Sitting beside her, Logan curled his lips. “Did she mention inviting me?”
