Female Novel
Chapter 1085
Sophia has this hint of obstinacy as well, but hers is tempered with slight girlish coquettishness and anunwillingness to admit defeat. It’s somewhat different from Lola’s obstinacy. Old Mrs. Constance thenasked whether she had a boyfriend.
Lola hesitated for a moment before nodding shyly. “I do.”
Sophia was stunned, as was Jasmine who was sitting at the side. I’ve never heard Logan mentioningthis. Considering his shameless demeanor toward Lola, he would’ve long since blathered if she has aboyfriend. However, he didn’t even mention a single word.
Tucking her hair behind her ear, Lola explained, “He’s from my hometown, and I got acquainted withhim from a blind date some time back. We just made our relationship official a while ago.”
The corners of his mouth turning up in a smirk, Logan tutted. “That man actually came to see herempty-handed last time.”
Glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes, Sophia couldn’t resist chiding, “What has that got to dowith you? Miss Hunt didn’t even say that she was bothered, so why are you butting your nose into it?”
Logan shot her a glare, but he couldn’t think of anything he could say to rebuff her even after mulling itover for a long time.
Lola nodded. “He’s quite an insensitive man, so perhaps he fails to consider a lot of things.”
At the side, Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. If she has a boyfriend, then my worries seem to havenovelbin
been misplaced. Therefore, Logan’s particularly tender treatment of her back then probably didn’t meananything.
Old Mrs. Constance was rather curious about Lola’s boyfriend, convinced that the average manwouldn’t be able to lock her down considering her headstrong nature.
Laughing, Lola then expounded briefly on her boyfriend’s background, saying that he was a civilservant with a stable job. While he didn’t make much money, it was a secure job at least.
Logan studied her closely. Due to their negligible distance, he surprisingly discovered a shallow dimpleat the corner of her mouth, whereupon he inexplicably lamented, She finally embodies a hint offemininity when she smiles like this.
Old Mrs. Constance was probably really fond of Lola, for she kept asking her a myriad of questions,chattering incessantly.
Taking advantage of this, Sophia leaned in closer to Logan and brought up Fabian, saying that she’dphoned him back then. Despite his speech being exceedingly coherent while on the phone, hesounded very much dispirited. She then asked him what had happened, but he said nothing. Sensingthat she wouldn’t be able to get much out of him, she now thought of asking Logan whether he knewanything about him. After all, he gets a lot of second-hand information that covers a wide range ofthings, so his intelligence network probably has some knowledge of Fabian’s issue.
Speaking of Fabian, Logan heaved a sigh. He lowered his voice, talking in a low whisper that was onlyaudible to them both. “Fabian is emotionally wounded. He’d already won over the girl whom he likes,yet they were forcefully broken up by his family. Unlike you, that woman won’t turn back for the sake oflove. She has truly firmed her resolve to dump him.”
At this point, Sophia could hazard her own guesses since she had gathered some clues from theconversation between Old Mrs. Blackwell and Fabian’s mother. Then, she put on a thoughtful lookbefore asking, “How’s the girl doing now?”
Logan smacked his lips. “She seems to be living her life as usual. She has truly kicked Fabian out ofher life, going to work and living life as usual after having an abortion.”
