Female Novel
Chapter 1179
Lola didn’t quite know what to say to that, so she pursed her lips. A long while later, she harrumphed.However, it was slightly simpering, sounding as though she was being coquettish.
Chuckling, Logan took some dishes for her. “Eat.”
When they’d almost finished eating, Lola’s cell phone vibrated. She paid it no mind, not even casting ita glance. Sitting across from her, Logan’s eyes were sharp, so he instantly glimpsed the notification ofa message on her lock screen. Lifting his eyes to her, he looked at her for a while before reaching outand snagging her cell phone after hesitating for a few seconds. Sure enough, it’s Shawn Long who senther a message! novelbin
Lola, who was drinking water, hastily placed her glass down upon seeing his action. “What are youdoing?”
Logan didn’t read the contents of the message, but at a single glance, he caught the start of it.Generally, Shawn wanted to ask her out to talk. The rest of the message wasn’t displayed, so he wasn’tsure whether he mentioned anything else. Then, he returned the cell phone to Lola. “This man is stillpestering you.”
Taking the cell phone, Lola opened the message and scanned it. It’s a whole lot of crap again! Shawn’s‘short essays’ had gotten increasingly emotional lately, but she found it extremely awkward. Of course,she never had much feelings for him, so all his so-called confidences had goosebumps rising on herskin. Then, she deleted the message in short order.
In an exasperated voice, she told Logan, “He just suffered a defeat with me, so he’ll give up when I
continue ignoring him. Such people should just be given the cold shoulder.” Shawn and Logan areactually quite similar in some aspects. If I were to give him an inch, he’ll take a mile. If I ignore him, he’llprobably give up after some time.
Logan’s gaze stayed on her cell phone for a while before he nodded. “Perhaps.”
After they’d had dinner, he didn’t drive her home right away. Instead, he strolled around the area withher. At this hour, the atmosphere outside was starting to turn lively. As the two of them aimlesslywalked along the street, Logan seized the opportunity to ask Lola about her family, such as when hergrandmother passed away and where she was buried, as well as who was joining her in visiting hergrandmother’s grave this time.
Seemingly having thought of something, Lola started reminiscing about the past. She related how hergrandmother was initially one who valued males and attached less importance to females, so she wasenraged when her mother gave birth to her, so much so that she spun on her heels and left themoment she heard that it was a girl at the delivery room door.
However, her grandmother who despised her then started doting on her when she slowly grew up,taking out all the delicious food in the house which she kept hidden in an iron box when she saw her.Frail and sickly, her grandmother had never lived an easy life. Before Lola had grown up, hergrandmother passed away serenely on the bed without any family beside her on a bright morning. Atthis, her voice suddenly became choked. “None of our family was with her when she took her finalbreath. Everyone had gone out that morning. When we returned at noon, her body was already cold.”
Pressing his lips into a tight line, Logan deliberated for a moment before reaching out and taking herhand, interlocking their fingers together.
This time, Lola didn’t spurn him. Taking a deep breath, she feigned staunchness and chuckled. “Whiledeath is an inevitability in life, I just find her departure overly desolate.”
