The Returning Ex

Sophia nodded. “I’ll just antagonize him for a while. He’s definitely with Lola right now, so I’ll call and inquire later.” John felt like
laughing. She already has a child, yet she’s still so mischievous!
Sophia truly waited for about an hour before giving Lola a call. She was quite accurate in her timing, for Logan wasn’t with Lola
then. Lola had already returned to her room on the second floor, while Logan went down to sneak her some ice cream. When
she received Sophia’s call, she chuckled. “Sophia.”
“Is Logan with you?” Sophia surreptitiously asked.
Lola glanced at the door. “No, he’s downstairs.”
At this, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and hastily said, “Logan phoned me earlier, and I could somewhat guess what happened.
Are you pregnant, Lola?”
Sure enough, she guessed it! Lola had harbored a vague suspicion about this, so she laughed. “You’re really smart!”
It’s not that I’m smart, but Logan was too obvious! Sophia burst out laughing as well. “His voice was too anxious on the phone. If
he’d kept himself in check, I wouldn’t have guessed it so quickly.” Also, his laughter was too exuberant. In the next moment, her
voice turned concerned as she asked, “How are you feeling now? Is it very bad? When I was first pregnant, I almost chucked up
my stomach.”
As though having found a sympathizer, Lola promptly nodded. “Exactly! It’s truly a torture.” When she was at the hotel, in
particular, it felt like she was on the verge of death.
Sophia sighed. “It all depends on an individual’s constituent. For some, nausea merely persists for a brief time, while others have
to put up with it for ages. I hope you’re the former.” Nonetheless, I think she can probably take it since her body has been honed
due to her former profession, so she isn’t as fragile as the average lady.
Sliding down, Lola lay on the bed. “I heard that it’ll persist for three months at least. The mere thought of it sends a shudder
through me.”
Now that she’d given birth, Sophia had almost forgotten how she felt back then. Even the agony she experienced during
childbirth was almost gone from her mind, so she could only urge, “Think happy thoughts and avoid placing your focus on this.
That might help. Also, eat more fruits.”

Lola murmured in acquiescence, “My appetite now is very odd. I don’t know what I want to eat at times, but other times, I feel like
eating everything.”
Smacking her lips, Sophia commented, “When you’re in your second trimester, that’s truly when you feel like eating
everything.” That period is relatively better without any nausea and great appetite. However, one’s stomach expands rapidly, so
sleep will be affected.
Logan was gone for a long time, so Lola and Sophia chatted a lot, Sophia teaching her a lot of things regarding pregnancy. As
Lola murmured in acknowledgment, she got out of bed and went to the bedroom door, very much surprised that he’d been gone
for so long just to sneak her some ice cream. While listening to Sophia, she walked over to the second floor landing and looked
down, but there was no sign of him. She pursed her lips. Where has this fella gone now?
Pivoting, she returned to the room and chatted with Sophia for another ten minutes or so before Logan finally came back. When
she heard footsteps, she said to Sophia on the other end, “He’s back.”
Sophia hurriedly lowered her voice. “I’ll be hanging up, then. I’ll go over and visit you when I’m free. Don’t tell him that I’m aware
of your pregnancy. I want to see how he’ll react.”
Chortling, Lola acquiesced and hung up the phone. Just after she’d hung up, Logan came in with a carton of ice cream in his
hand. She stared at him. “What took you so long?”
Logan heaved a sigh. “What else could it be? Mum took all the ice cream when she left, so I went out and bought it for you.”
