Chapter 1136
The matchmaker couldn’t take up that challenge. Everyone in the village was honest to goodness, andwhat Shawn did would enrage them. novelbin
Even though the dating world was getting more and more open, the marriage world wasn’t. Anyonewould give a jerk like Shawn a wide berth lest they turned out the same way as his ex.
And of course, the matchmaker would be a public enemy too. If Langdon told everyone about this, it’daffect her business, so she stopped him. “Fine, Langdon. You win. I shouldn’t have gotten myself intothis mess. I’ll tell the Longs that Lola won’t be dating Shawn, then. But I guess that means you guys willbe enemies now.”
Langdon almost leaped at her with anger. “So what? You think I’d be scared of those scrubs?”
Logan almost laughed. He thought he’d have to interject at some point, but then he was proved wrong.Langdon was proving himself to be a likeable man, and he knew where Lola got her sense of justicefrom; Langdon’s words and actions exuded the traditional sense of justice.
The matchmaker left in frustration after losing the fight, mumbling under her breath. Langdon cursedafter her, but Lola stopped him. “Now, now. Forget about this and don’t let it ruin your night. It’s dinnertime.”
Under his daughter’s consoling, Langdon calmed down and looked at Logan. “Sorry you had to seethat, Logan. Come on, let’s eat.”
Logan smiled. “I think you did the right thing. You can’t let these jerks get away with it.” If it was the old
him, he would have punched the matchmaker the moment she tried to defend Shawn.
They went back to the dining room for dinner, and Langdon mentioned Shawn halfway through. “I don’tlike him, but I don’t hate him either. I thought he looked like an honest kid, so Lola would have a goodlife with him. But now I see it’s just his fa?ade.”
Logan smiled at him and stole a glance at Lola. “Yeah, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Justbecause someone looks kind doesn’t mean they are, and the opposite is the same.”
Sure enough, Lola caught the message he was trying to say, and when nobody was looking, she glaredat him. Logan only laughed and shook his head, then he had a few shots with Langdon.
Seeing this, Lola protested, “Hey, you still need to drive us back.”
Before Logan could say anything, Langdon replied, “But it’s late, and it’s a few hours’ drive away fromyour place. It’ll be midnight when you get home, so stay here for the night. We have a spare roomhere.”
After that, Logan raised his glass. “A toast, Mr. Hunt.”
Guffawing, Langdon did the same. “I’m liking you more and more, Logan.”
Lola kept quiet, for she couldn’t stop her father once he was like this. On the other hand, Fiona lookedat Logan and her daughter, then she stared down.
They had a happy dinner, and Langdon had almost forgotten about Shawn when it was coming to a
close. Then he talked about the days when Lola was working as a police officer. He said there was thisone time Lola was facing off an armed enemy in a mission, and then she was shot on her thigh.
