The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1297

Sophia pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at her husband. “I’m going to remember that for the rest of my life.”

John pretended to sigh and took her hand, plastering it against his face. “Okay, you can remember it forever. And I will make it up to you for the rest of my life.”

Faced with the couple’s affectionate interaction, Logan pouted and pulled Lola in for a kiss. “I will be good to you forever, but it’s not to compensate you. It’s simply because I want to.”

John lost control of himself and laughed at Logan’s reaction.

Feeling smug, Logan gave him a side-eye. “In the past, you always publicly showed off your affection. It’s my turn now!”

Lola lifted her hand and gave Logan a punch.

She was blushing from the kiss but did not seem to mind kissing Logan in public.

Soon, Ian arrived at the clubhouse in haste. One could tell that he probably rushed here straight from somewhere else.

After stepping into the private room, Ian immediately conveyed his congratulations to Logan.

Not only that, he brought a gift for Logan.

Sophia smacked her lips upon seeing that. “If you bring gifts, you will make us look stingy in comparison.”

Ian smiled warmly. “I only bought it because I happened to pass a store.”

In a corner, John refused to look at Ian in case he started feeling angry again.

Knowing John’s difficult temperament, Sophia only chatted briefly with Ian before diverting her attention.

If she talked with Ian too much, John might give her the cold shoulder and intentionally go against her without any reason.

On the other hand, a waiter served them a cold platter, some fruits, and a pot of tea.

Lola immediately pushed the teapot in front of Logan. “You haven’t fully recovered from the post-lunch hangover. Drink some tea to wash it away.”

He was acting quite cooperatively. Lola poured him a cup of tea, and he downed it instantly.

The tea was very concentrated and had a hint of bitterness, which helped to calm the waves of nausea from his stomach and, as a result, made him feel a little better.

Ian laughed at Logan. “Today is your big day. You shouldn’t have drank too much! When you’re done recovering, the entire day is gone as well!”

Indeed, after hearing Ian’s reminder, Logan felt upset at himself. The day was almost over, but he did not do anything productive at all.

However, when he recounted his day, he decided that it wasn’t wholly unproductive. At least, he managed to beat his four sisters in drinking.

During the wait for dinner, Logan mentioned that he saw Sean’s car on his way to the Civil Affairs Bureau that morning.

Therefore, he took the chance to ask Ian if he had met with the Morgans during his trip back home.

Ian pursed his lips and retracted his gaze. “I received a call from them.”

Logan instantly perked up and leaned forward to ask in a slightly indignant tone, “How dare they call you? What did they say?”

The Morgans had a long conversation with Ian on a lot of topics; Bryce Morgan and Sean Morgan both gave him a call.

When Ian first joined the talent show, the Morgans thought that it was an embarrassment to the family. So, everyone rang him up to persuade him to pull out.

Now, after he won first place and was in the process of signing with a talent agency, the Morgans gave him another call again.

This time, they didn’t call him an embarrassment, but they reminded him to stay low in case he got involved in any scandals that might bring trouble to the Morgan Family.

They were probably wary that his family background would be exposed to the public.

Even so, Ian merely smiled at the group and downplayed the situation. “They didn’t say much. They congratulated me, and we had a brief chat.”

Hearing his reply, Logan smirked. “Next time, you don’t need to pick up any call from those people. Don’t make yourself upset.”

Logan was more simple-minded, but Sophia could guess what was left unspoken by Ian.

She agreed with Logan and nodded. “Next time, you don’t have to answer their calls. You are not in regular contact with them anyway. So, you don’t even need to put it up to them.”

After hearing her advice, Ian nodded in acknowledgment. “I’m getting busy in the future. Even if they call me, I believe I won’t have the time to pick up too.”
