Female Novel
Chapter 1176
When they’d left, Logan raked a hand through his hair. “How sweet! They left just after a few minutes.”
Lola cast him a sidelong glance. Does he really not know why Sophia left? It’s because he’s too corny,so she couldn’t stand it! Returning to her seat, she sat down and stared at him. “Do you not haveanything to do the entire day? You’ve spent almost the whole day here.”
Logan pondered for a moment before answering, “I do. My business is to keep you company here.”
This cheesy pick-up line is really revolting! Looking at him, Lola pointed at the chair by the door. “Goand sit over there. Stop jabbering in my ear.”
Logan glanced over at the chair as well. I used to sit in that chair and play mobile games while waitingfor her! Retracting his gaze, he lifted his eyes to her. “Are you sure you don’t need me to keep youcompany here?”
“Scram!”
“Okay.” Logan was surprisingly docile, turning away and leaving without a single word of objection.
Out of his line of sight, the corners of Lola’s mouth lifted. Truly, my shyness doesn’t even last for fiveminutes with him. I was a tad shy this morning when he came to seek me out, but all those feelingsvanished into thin air in no time when he later started blathering. This man is really infuriating, so muchso that I’ve got an urge to beat him up!
After going out the door, Logan leaned back against the chair with his legs crossed, looking very much
like a fat cat. Lola stared at him for a good while before retracting her gaze. Why am I getting evercloser to this scoundrel?
In the afternoon, she had nothing much to do, so after she was done going through the documents, shereclined in her chair and took a breather.
Logan was again playing mobile games, perhaps having unmuted the device since he was calling outto someone else on the other end. When she heard him, Lola gazed at his profile. As she continuedstaring, she couldn’t help giggling. This man is just like a kid!
After sitting there for a while, her cell phone rang. She swiftly snagged it up for a look, only to see that itwas a call from her hometown, so she took the call right away. “What is it, Dad?”
“It’s nothing major. I just wanted to ask when you’d be free to make a trip home.” Mr. Hunt’s voice wasrobust. novelbin
Surprise suffused Lola. “I’ve just gone back a while ago. What’s wrong? Did something happen athome?”
Mr. Hunt sighed. “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that your grandmother’s death anniversary isapproaching, so I was thinking that you can visit her grave with me and ask for her blessings upon yourlove life if you’ve got the time for a trip home.”
Lifting a hand, Lola covered her face. What is Dad talking about? Grandma is old-school, so what kindof help can she render? Then, she chuckled. “I’ll make some arrangements to take a trip back whenI’ve got some time off.” She indeed wanted to go back and visit her grandmother’s grave for her deathanniversary. In the past, she didn’t have much time off due to the nature of her job, so it’d been many
years since she’d last visited her grandmother’s grave.
Mr. Hunt grunted in assent. “Oh yes, I have another question for you. Has that Shawn Long contactedyou recently?”
Lola didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked, “Did his family go causing trouble again?”
Smacking his lips, Mr. Hunt replied, “They didn’t exactly cause trouble. They just came over topersuade us and ask whether there’s any chance of reconciliation. Both the Longs and the matchmakercame over. It’s quite a huge group every time, so it indeed doesn’t look too good when our neighborsare witnessing it all.”
