Chapter 1169
Logan slapped his thigh. “Let’s go to my place instead of ordering takeout.”
Pursing her lips, Lola nodded. “That’s a good idea.” It was the first time she was singing the same tuneas him.
Since John didn’t want to continue speaking of the topic earlier, he echoed, “Sure. Grandma, let’s gotogether.”
Old Mrs. Constance deliberated for a moment before beaming. “Okay! I haven’t been to Logan’s placeeither.”
When the lot of them arrived at Logan’s clubhouse, a private room was already prepared for them.John and Sophia led Old Mrs. Constance in. On the other hand, Logan remained standing at theclubhouse entrance and took out a packet of cigarettes. After a brief contemplation, Lola didn’t followthe others in but retraced her steps and walked over to him. “Thank you for today.”
With a cigarette in his mouth, Logan turned and looked at her, his gaze earnest and solemn. For someinexplicable reason, Lola abruptly recalled the hug he gave her earlier in that dilapidated farmhouseafter sprinting over to her. It was very warm and reassuring. Giving a soft cough, she asked, “Why areyou looking at me like this? I’m thanking you.”
The corners of his mouth lifting, Logan suddenly reached out and caressed her head. “But I don’t think Iprotected you all that well.”
This time, Lola didn’t dodge. Flashing him a smile, she said, “You’ve already done very well. I believe
that you’ll do even better in the future.”
Logan sighed. “Alright, go on in first. I’ll join you in a while after smoking a cigarette.”
Her lips pressed tightly, Lola stared at him for an eternity before muttering, “Idiot.” He actually didn’tgrasp the meaning behind my remark! Sure enough, I can’t have too high an expectation toward thisman’s brain!
Logan arched a brow. What’s wrong with her?
Whirling around, Lola went to the private room. In there, Sophia didn’t bring up the Baileys again.Rather, she asked about the current situation over at the Blackwells, upon which Old Mrs. Constanceheaved a sigh. “Everything is fine, but Fabian is rather worrying.”
Sophia couldn’t comment on Fabian’s matter. Sometimes, love can complete a person, but at times, itcan also destroy a person. This isn’t something that can be rationalized. I’m sure he can’t help hisdispirited condition now.
At this time, Lola pushed open the door and walked in. Turning to look at her, Sophia smiled andbeckoned to her to sit beside her. She was truly grateful to her considering the great risk she took forher sake on this day.
Lola was all smiles as she sat down beside Sophia. “I’m truly feeling fine, so don’t worry. My body isconditioned to take all kinds of abuse.” Back when she went undercover, she’d been through everythingexcept taking drugs. Her life had been always on the line, so this was considered nothing to her.
In the dark about all that, Old Mrs. Constance lifted her eyes and looked at Lola. Truly, the more I look
at her, the more I like her! After mulling it over for a while, she lowered voice and queried, “Are youdating the Jefferson kid now?”
Lola froze, her expression turning a tad embarrassed. “N-No.”
Mild exasperation flooded Sophia. “How could you be so direct, Grandma? Miss Hunt would be toomortified to answer since you were so blunt.” novelbin
Bursting into laughter, Old Mrs. Constance clapped her hands. “Ah, it’s my mistake! I asked the wrongquestion.” Subsequently, her tone changed. “Actually, Logan is quite a decent person. You might thinkthat he’s bad-tempered, but it’s not his fault. After all, he’s been spoiled by his father and sisters allthese years. Trust me, he’s not a bad person at heart. I’m quite a good judge of character after havinglived for so many years.”
