Female Novel
Chapter 1134
These hags are so annoying. Why do they have to butt into my business when their own lives are awreck?
When the neighbors saw Logan and Lola, they stopped talking to the Hunts and came up to them. “Oh,who is this, Lola? Why is he here with you? Is he your friend?” novelbin
“Yeah. He brought you around in this car, didn’t he? This is a good car.”
“Who is he? He looks pretty handsome.”
...
Lola stared at her mother, refusing to answer any questions, but Fiona couldn’t do anything about it.The villagers were known for their nosy behavior, and Lola couldn’t flare her temper at them, so sheforced a smile. “He’s just a friend.”
Dealing with people wasn’t Lola’s forte, but it was Logan’s, for he had met people from all walks of life,including those worse than these nosy hags. Eh, this’ll be a cinch. Thus, Logan greeted them with alaugh. “We’re really great buddies here, ladies. Aren’t we, Lola? I’ve known her since forever, but then Ididn’t have time to pay her a visit until now.”
Lola stared at Logan, and her face fell. This b*stard’s going to start some rumors if I let him. And thenshe interjected, “You guys must be tired from standing here all day. Come on in.”
It’d be rude of them to actually take that offer and gossip, so the villagers excused themselves after afew more exchanges.
When they had left, Lola heaved a sigh of relief and went in to see her father, telling him about thematter between her and Shawn.
The news came as a shock for Langdon. He was a simple villager, and the fact Shawn ditched his ex-girlfriend after impregnating her was treachery to him. “He’s a traitor,” Langdon spat.
Lola nodded. “And that’s why I think I can’t see him anymore.”
Langdon didn’t think what Lola did was wrong. “Good call. I don’t think they’d treat you nicely even ifyou marry him. Good thing you found out about this and stopped seeing him. I’ll deal with thematchmaker, so don’t worry.” He might be a mere farmer, but Langdon had a clear morality and senseof justice. That night, he asked Logan to stay over for dinner, and he asked Fiona to make a few moredishes.
Lola didn’t object to that. After giving her a three-hour ride, she thought it was just fair to have him overfor dinner. But before they could dig in, a guest had arrived, and it was none other than thematchmaker.
Without question, the matchmaker must’ve known from Shawn that Lola had sought him out, and shecould guess she wanted to end this. However, the matchmaker didn’t want it to end on that sour note,so she came to convince Lola.
Fiona quickly went out to welcome her, and after they made some small talk in the yard, thematchmaker came in, calling out to Lola loudly.
Lola didn’t move, merely remaining seated by the table, but Logan did. He stood at the dining room’sdoorstep, and when the matchmaker came in, she was stopped in her tracks by him.
