Female Novel
Chapter 1094
Lorraine loved anyone who could keep her brother in line, such as Sophia. Appearing exceedinglyfriendly, she came right over and sat down beside Lola. “Nice to meet you. I’m Lorraine Jefferson, thisscoundrel’s sister.”
Faltering briefly, Lola then instantly replied, “Nice to meet you. I’m Lola Hunt.”
Lorraine arched an eyebrow. “Miss Hunt.” After saying that, she turned her gaze on Logan. “The two ofyou must have just started eating, no? Well then, I’ll join you both.” Without waiting for a response fromeither of them, she raised a hand and asked for the server, ordering two more dishes.
Lola naturally couldn’t say anything to the contrary, so she sat there with her lips pursed, keeping mum.
Meanwhile, Logan had no idea what Lorraine was trying to do either. If I were to rashly request that sheleave, she might just go ballistic considering her explosive temper. Thus, he put up with it as well.
Lorraine, on the other hand, made herself right at home. While eating, she even asked Lola for herpersonal information, her actions very much similar to Old Mrs. Constance’s on the previous day.
Logan could somewhat tell that his sister had probably misconstrued their relationship, but the wordshe had to explain things and clear up the matter got stuck in his throat for some inexplicable reason. Inthe end, they remained unsaid.
It wasn’t quite appropriate for Lola to clarify their relationship, so she merely answered whateverquestions that came her way.
As Lorraine looked at her, she found Lola all the more pleasing. Then, she even patted her on thenovelbin
shoulder, declaring, “This brother of mine really has to be taught a lesson, so you don’t need to givehim any quarter. Just straighten him up when it’s called for in the future. All four of us will back you up.”
Beside her, Lola frowned, at a loss as to what to say in response.
Exasperation swamped Logan. He’d actually told his four sisters briefly about Jasmine, and it wasobviously different from everything Lola had said earlier. I wonder if Lorraine is too ecstatic or forgetfulthat she didn’t notice anything amiss.
When Lorraine had said everything she wanted to say, she urged them both to eat. “Go on and eat.Don’t stand on ceremony. We’re family, after all.”
His lips pressed together, Logan looked at Lola helplessly. “Alright, alright. Let’s eat.”
Lola didn’t talk much while eating, and it was mostly Lorraine making conversation. It was plain as daythat she liked Lola very much, her attitude and tone exceedingly courteous. This again surprisedLogan. I wonder what it is about her that everyone who sees her takes a shine to her. Sophia likes her,and so does Old Mrs. Constance. Now, even my usually picky sister likes her a lot.
He was the first person to finish eating. Reclining back against the chair, he observed Lorraine chattingwith Lola, who was noticeably reserved, even blushing when Lorraine occasionally made an innocentjoke about them. It’s only now that she carries a hint of shyness a girl should have. This is truly a muchbetter look on her.
For some reason, he abruptly recalled Jasmine's question—do you like her? No, no, no! Definitely not!How could I possibly like such a woman? I like sensible and docile women like Jasmine!
Lorraine still had much to chat with Lola, but it was already nearing the end of lunch hour, and they’d allfinished eating. Taking Lola’s hand, Lorraine told her, “Come and visit me at my house when you’refree. I really like you!”
Lola flashed her an awkward smile. “Sure, thank you.”
Lorraine footed the bill, and the three of them then exited the restaurant.
