Female Novel
Chapter 1170
Lola nodded. “Yeah, he’s not a bad person at heart.” It’s just that he’s been getting his heart’s desiressince young, so he’s flippant about things. I’ve seen many wealthy people, and they more or less sharethe same attitude as him, thinking that they’re remarkable and impressive. However, he’s much betterthan those people in that he’s artless. This is probably due to his family. She’d been to JeffersonResidence and met Logan’s father and four sisters. She could sense that all of them had pleasantpersonalities, so a child whom they raised couldn’t be all that bad.
“Logan is also quite pitiful. His mother passed away when he was young, and his father was busy withbusiness, so he was raised by his four sisters. Thus, he’s naturally different from those who grew up innormal families. It’s already a miracle that he ended up the way he is today,” Old Mrs. Constancelamented.
At the side, Sophia also became a touch emotional. “Indeed. I noticed that he has an old family portraitin his wallet from the days when he was young; a black and white photo at that. I think he surely fallsinto a trance often while privately staring at the photo behind closed doors.”
After saying that, she hesitated for a while before adding, “And do you know why he treats medifferently? He once told me that it’s because I bear some resemblance to his mother back when shewas young.”
Upon hearing this, Lola’s heart softened at once. He usually acts all cocky, yet there are actually timeswhen he’s vulnerable. Besides, she’d always thought that Logan had feelings for Sophia, but she nowunderstood his reasons. Lowering her gaze, the corners of her mouth curved upward and herexpression turned gentle.
In the meantime, John went over to the kitchens to have a look and ordered a few dishes. Then, hecame back with Logan, the two of them talking and laughing as they pushed open the door and walkedin. Lola turned to look at him, her gaze unprecedentedly tender.
Logan naturally came over and sat down beside her before turning to stare at her. “Are you feelingunwell anywhere?”
“No, I’m fine.” Lola flashed him a smile.
Logan’s eyes remained fixed on her for a long while. When he concluded that she was behaving nodifferent than usual, his heart gradually settled back into his chest. Subsequently, he couldn’t helpstarting to curse the Baileys out again.
Old Mrs. Constance originally didn’t know what had happened, but after listening to his incessantcondemnations, understanding slowly dawned upon her. Shocked, her head snapped to the side, andshe stared at Sophia. “The Bailey Family actually wanted to harm you?”
Chortling, Sophia replied, “However, Isabelle wasn’t complicit, and she even helped us. Miss Hunthelped me out as well, so there’s nary a scratch on me.”
Old Mrs. Constance was so infuriated that her eyes bulged. “So, those good-for-nothing Baileysactually had such a despicable plan! Fear not, for I know a few people too. I’ll talk to them and havethem investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Sophia giggled. She’s been extremely calm and composed these days, rarely getting so worked up.Nonetheless, the Baileys are indeed wicked to do such a thing. After all, they were trying to snuff out ahuman life! Hmm… I guess no matter how badly things end for them, it’s just what they deserve. novelbin
After they’d chatted for a while, the food was served. Logan kept paying particular attention to Lola,taking various dishes for her until Lola could no longer put up with it. “Alright, that’s enough. It’s toomuch. I won’t be able to finish everything.”
“Just leave the remainder to me if you can’t finish,” Logan blurted without even thinking about it.
Lola pursed her lips, seemingly hesitating for a moment. In the end, she didn’t say anything unpleasant.
