The Returning Ex

Chapter 1372

John turned around and closed the door before walking over to the bed. This time, he spoke slightly louder and slower to ensure that Sophia could hear him loud and clear. “I said, let’s get a divorce.” Her gaze followed him until he stood by the bed, looking down at her.

He’d initially thought that there’d be a hint of panic and anxiety in her eyes, but surprisingly, she merely looked at him, her gaze even more placid than his tone earlier. Since she didn’t answer him, he asked, “Did you hear me?”

Sophia nodded. “I did.” Then, she put her cell phone away. “Have you discussed this with your family?”

To be honest, John didn’t discuss this with anyone, nor did he think this out in advance. However, he still replied, “Yes. They’ve all agreed.”

Sophia looked thoughtfully at him. “So, you’re here to inform me, yes?”

Heaving a sigh, John reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you generously. I’ll give you whatever amount you want.”

Sophia was silent for a while. In response, she didn’t mention the matter of money, merely nodding. “Okay, I agree.”

Actually, this reaction of hers was also within his expectation. After all, a broken marriage was torturous to both parties. Despite knowing that she was reluctant to give up on this marriage, he was also aware that she was likewise unhappy and miserable in this marriage. Thus, he often told himself back then that a divorce was good for them both, for it would set them both free.

Never had he thought that she’d change into an entirely different person after the divorce, suddenly taking on attributes he loved. The Sophia who was timid, apprehensive, and cautious in her speech had ceased to exist with the collapse of their first marriage. The Sophia who was then reborn was one

he could no longer hold onto. For that reason, he had to pay the price for the wrong choices he’d made in his first marriage. He knew that it served him right since he was blind in the past and had wronged her.

However, he didn’t want to tell anyone about this experience, so he snickered when Logan asked about it. “Why are you asking about this? Do you want to learn from me?”

Logan shot him a glare. “Who wants to learn about proposing divorce from you? I even have a child on the way now, so Lola and I will definitely be a loving couple in the future.” He wasn’t at all flustered when he said this.

At the side, Sophia’s brows furrowed, and she looked at Lola. “Is he this corny usually?”

Lola nodded gravely. “He’s usually even worse.”

Subsequently, Logan glanced at Sophia out of the corner of his eyes. “What do you know? This is known as putting thoughts into words. I’ve never concealed my love for my darling. I’ve been telling her all about it so she knows how much I love her.”

Sophia sucked in a breath. However, she also understood that every couple had their own way of communicating. Beside her, John chuckled. “It’s good to be like Logan since everything is out in the open.” He says whatever he thinks, and he definitely puts it bluntly, so Lola must have a strong sense of security.

Agreeing with John, Sophia commented, “There won’t be any misunderstanding between you two, then.”

Speaking of misunderstandings, Logan’s brows abruptly went up, while Lola couldn’t help giggling beside him.

Matilda looked at Lola. “What is it? Is there a story there?”

Logan smacked his lips. “Yup.”

Feeling a touch embarrassed, Lola muttered, “Well, keep it to yourself.”

Logan, however, ignored her. He blathered on about the entire incident of how he told Lola a tiny lie back when he made preparations to propose to her, only to be misunderstood in the end. With a solemn expression on his face, he groused, “Say, she should have just asked me outright if she misunderstood me. She should have just asked where I went earlier and why I wasn’t at the clubhouse. However, she just wouldn’t ask me that, and I didn’t understand her meaning, so the misunderstanding was then set in stone. She even talked about us merely being in the early phase of a relationship, so it was probably just novelty that kept us together. I was just so chagrined back then, thinking that she was already sick of me.”
