Female Novel
Chapter 1135
The smile she had on quickly faded, and she looked at Fiona. “And this is?”
Logan answered before Fiona could, “I’m Lola’s friend, and I know Shawn, too.” novelbin
Since Logan said he knew Shawn, the matchmaker thought he was the Hunts’ guest, thus nodded andwent in to speak with Lola. “Hi, Lola.” Left with no choice, Lola came out to meet her, and thematchmaker held her hand. “Why did you do that, girl? You should have talked to me first.”
Lola pulled her hand back calmly. “It’s fine, ma’am.”
The matchmaker let out a sigh and started convincing Lola to keep seeing Shawn. She blabbered onand on, but the gist of it was that Shawn was a nice man, and that his pregnant ex-girlfriend was just aproduct of his impulsive youth. She said he had handled the matter before seeing Lola. “He never didsee his ex after the breakup, and he did give her some compensation before they separated. He’sreally a nice guy.” The matchmaker made him out to be a kind, loving man, which wasn’t true.
Listening on from the side, Logan held back the urge to spit at her. How could she even say that? Whatif the ex is her daughter? She’d be out for Shawn’s blood.
Lola kept quiet, then Langdon came out, his expression dark. “No matter what, you should have told usShawn had a pregnant ex. My daughter’s an innocent girl, and I want her husband to at least be anupright one. How could you hide what Shawn did from us? What were you thinking?”
That made things awkward, and the matchmaker slapped her thigh. “I wasn’t hiding it, Langdon. It’s inthe past, so just let bygones be bygones, eh?”
Langdon didn’t take her advice. “Would you marry your daughter to someone like Shawn, then? Youknow, since what he did is already in the past?” That shut her up.
Langdon was a forward man, and he would say everything Fiona would be too embarrassed to. “Lola’san innocent girl, and she’s been single all her life. If Shawn could ditch his pregnant girlfriend, whoknows what he’d do to Lola? Loving my foot. He paid his ex-girlfriend before they broke up, didn’t he?Well, how much did he give her then? Tell us.”
The matchmaker was getting upset now, and finally, Langdon said, “I know what you’re planning. Youcan make a lot of money by matching up a couple, but take my advice: there are some things youshouldn’t do, even when you’ll get paid well, because the price might be your very soul.”
Humiliated, the matchmaker’s face fell. “What are you talking about, Langdon? Are you saying I’dmatch her up with a jerk for money?”
Langdon waved her down impatiently. “Don’t make me answer that. Leave immediately. We havenothing more to talk about.”
Fiona walked over and held her husband’s arm. “Calm down, honey.”
“Calm down?” Langdon’s eyes widened. “Anyone will be as mad as I am.” Then he looked at thematchmaker. “Why don’t we ask everyone what they think about this?”
