Female Novel
Chapter 1186
Nevertheless, Mr. Hunt didn’t stretch the truth. He merely said that Logan was Lola’s friend who droveher back and helped the family solve a huge problem, so he brought him here for her perusal.
Beside him, Lola frowned slightly. Brought him here for Grandma’s perusal? What does this mean?This is ludicrous. Just because he’d helped us out, Dad brought him here for Grandma’s perusal? Thisjust doesn’t make sense! However, she couldn’t argue with him since they were all kneeling there, soshe merely lowered her head and continued burning incense paper for her grandmother.
Beside her, Logan imitated her and greeted Old Mrs. Hunt as ‘Grandma.’ Then, he boasted aboutLola’s achievements, speaking of the many cases she’d cracked before insisting that she was still verymuch righteous despite having resigned and was a person whom he admired. novelbin
Lola couldn’t quite put her finger on the veracity of his words. Anyhow, the only thing she could do atthis very moment was to pretend as though she knew nothing and heard nothing.
Subsequently, Mr. Hunt brought up the incident with Shawn. Losing her cool, Lola softly chided him forbringing up the matter. “Don’t tell Grandma about such a thing.”
Mr. Hunt chuckled. “I just want to tell your grandmother about our lives now. You haven’t visited her formany years, so she must be missing you.” If one were to dwell upon this remark, it was actually a tadterrifying.
Lifting a hand, Logan patted Lola on the shoulder, urging her without words to let the matter go and justlisten as Mr. Hunt spoke since it was rare that they were here. Thus, Lola sighed and nodded. “Alright,”
she murmured in a whisper.
Mr. Hunt truly prattled on about Shawn, simultaneously tearing into him. Lola said nothing, trying herbest not to take it to heart. Actually, the matter between her and Shawn was very simple. They just triedgetting to know each other after a blind date, but it didn’t work out, so they then broke up. Hence, shewas bewildered as to how such a huge fuss came to be.
They didn’t spend too long visiting Old Mrs. Hunt’s grave. When the incense paper and hell banknotesthey brought were all burned, it then drew to a close. In the end, the three of them stood up. Mr. Huntlooked around before heaving a sigh. “This place is getting increasingly difficult to find. I’m not evensure whether I can still find it the next time since it’ll probably be leveled in no time with the rain beatingdown all year round.”
Reaching out, Lola rubbed his arm. “When it’s truly gone, then perhaps Grandma has alreadyreincarnated.” A person will inevitably be forgotten by the world one day, and perhaps it’s then that shecan obtain true rest.
The trip down the mountain went relatively smoother, with everyone in high spirits. Logan and Mr. Huntchatted as they walked. Only then did Mr. Hunt think of asking Logan about his job. Without putting itclearly, Logan smilingly replied that he had a small clubhouse. Mr. Hunt wasn’t familiar with the scale ofa clubhouse, so he thought that it was a restaurant or the like. Nodding, he commented, “It’s a good jobif you work hard.”
The corners of Logan’s mouth lifted. “Indeed.”
Mr. Hunt then asked about the rest of his family members, to which Logan turned and looked at Lola.“Lola has been to my house, so she’s met my family before. My father and sisters love her.”
Beside him, Lola’s face instantly flamed. When these words fell into her ears, it sounded as thoughshe’d gone to his house to meet his elders. Licking her lips, she explained, “It’s all because he had ameal at our house and stayed overnight the previous time. He then insisted on inviting me to his housefor a meal as well, so I went. I was actually—”
