Female Novel
Chapter 1187
Before Lola had finished speaking, Mr. Hunt turned to Logan. “I hope she didn’t cause any trouble foryour family when she went over to your house.”
“No, no, not at all. My sister even urged her to visit my house again when she’s free and has beennagging me about bringing her back since she hasn’t been over recently.”
Mr. Hunt nodded. His family seems to treat her rather well, so there’s probably nothing to worry aboutwhen they date in the future.
Lola couldn’t quite take it anymore. Are these two people going to ignore me completely? Peeved, sheswiftly stalked down the mountain, snorting as she walked. Why on earth does Dad like him so much? Iwonder if he’d regret it if he were to know how despicable he was in the past.
The three of them ambled home. When they were a distance away, Logan spotted a car parked in frontof Lola’s house. Thus, he hurried over.
Mrs. Hunt was standing in the courtyard with a man. Turning, the man promptly grinned when hecaught sight of Logan, trotting over to him. “Why are you in such a place, Young Master Jefferson?”
Lifting a hand, Logan thumped his shoulder. “How impressive! I just gave you an address, and youactually managed to find the place.”
The man chuckled. “I asked for directions all the way here, so I finally found this place.”
Mrs. Hunt rushed over. “Is this your friend, Logan?”
Logan murmured an affirmation. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Hunt. This is a friend of mine who’s here to help mehandle some things. Why don’t you all go and rest in the house first? I’ll just talk to my friend for awhile.”
Dragging Mr. Hunt along, Lola went into the house. Mr. Hunt’s brows knitted together. “How did Loganget acquainted with this friend of his? Look at that car. It’s obviously an expensive car.”
Lola breathed a sigh. “Do you think Logan’s car is not as expensive?”
At this, Mr. Hunt grunted in assent. “You’re right. His car is also expensive.”
Standing in the house, the three of them studied the two men in the courtyard through the window,noticing that the man who’d just arrived was very much deferential toward Logan. Logan then took outa pack of cigarettes. With a cigarette each in their mouths, the two of them stood there with hands intheir pockets, talking. Judging from their expressions, the topic was probably a solemn one.
Lowering his voice, Mr. Hunt asked Lola, “Do you think this is the person he called over to help handlethe matter with Shawn?”
“I’m not sure.” Lola’s tone was diffident since she was indeed unsure about the matter. She didn’t knowwhat other friends Logan had besides John and Sophia, nor did she know how badly he could messthings up. But he does have a lot of scoundrelly friends who also seem to have nothing to do. Howshould I put it? She smacked her lips. Disaster is probably going to befall Shawn.
Logan didn’t talk long with that man in the courtyard. After he’d said all everything necessary and gavehim some instructions, the man then spun on his heels and left. novelbin
Mrs. Hunt hurried out. Standing by the door, she asked Logan, “The man had left? Isn’t he your friend?Why didn’t he come in for a drink?”
Logan’s expression was exceedingly gentle. “He still has something else to do, so he left first. I didn’twant to delay him since it’s rather late now.”
Not quite sure about the veracity of his words, Mrs. Hunt could only nod.
However, it was indeed rather late, so Lola and Logan had to depart now if they truly wanted to returnto the city. Mr. Hunt definitely didn’t want them to leave today, so he suggested that they stay overnightand only leave the next morning if there wasn’t anything pressing awaiting them.
