Female Novel
Chapter 1146
Logan came up to her. “Tell me what you like. I’ll ask the servants to make them next time.”
When Lola heard that, she glanced at him, but she said nothing.
They went to sit around the table, and Lola took the spot beside Logan. Everyone only started eatingafter Old Mr. Jefferson said they could. It had been ages since the Jeffersons were this merry, and theold man was obviously delighted, since he was beaming from ear to ear.
Lorraine looked up at Logan. “Invite Sophia and John next time. The more the merrier.”
Logan agreed. “I’ll do it once everything has passed. It’s high time we celebrate.” Lorraine quicklyasked about the Constance couple since the topic was brought up, and Logan chuckled. “John’slooking really happy these days. He has a wife and an upcoming kid. All he does now is just lookingafter them. He’s a happy man.”
Lorraine nodded. “It has been a long detour for those two, but they finally got back together. Must havebeen hard.” She also knew about the Baileys’ sabotage in this matter. “Honestly, I pity Isabelle. Shethought she had a chance, but then it’s gone.”
Logan didn’t want to talk about Isabelle. Even until this moment, he still disliked her. “I pitied her whenJohn canceled their marriage, but when I found out how she tried to sabotage them, I just think she’sdisgusting.”
Lola didn’t know about that, so she only kept on eating and listening to them.
Then, Logan added. “If it weren’t for her, John and Sophia wouldn’t have had to go through all thosethings.”
If the divorce wasn’t exposed, they would have kept it a secret and remarried. Sophia only decided tocut ties with John completely after the expose, and that was thanks to Isabelle.
Logan was always eager to help when it came to Sophia, so Lola turned to look at him. Now, she couldstill remember the last time they shared a meal; Logan had treated Sophia differently.
Once they digressed long enough, Old Mr. Jefferson talked about Logan’s marriage, much to hisannoyance. “Dad, can you give it a rest? You can’t expect us to be married right away. I mean, we juststarted dating.” novelbin
Old Mr. Jefferson glared at him, then he looked at Lola. “See? He’s annoying, isn’t he?”
A chuckle escaped Lola’s lips.
They had a nice dinner, and the servant cut up some fruits for them after that. Then, they took theconversation to the living room.
Lola could sense the Jeffersons’ curiosity toward her, but since it was the first time they met, it wasrude to ask anything past the surface. That was when Lola thought about her own family, and sherealized there was a vast gap between them. Even though she wasn't a traditional woman, Lolathought coming from matching families was important for a couple, especially for rich families. Theycared about pedigree the most. The merry chatter went on and on, but Lola didn’t stay too late, and sheexcused herself once dusk had fallen.
Lorraine followed her. “It’s getting late, so goodbye for now. Come over earlier next time. We can chatfor a while longer.”
