Female Novel
Chapter 1189
Shawn looked rather reluctant, but still, he dragged his feet over and said that he wanted to apologizeto Lola.
Lola was still standing in the house. Beside her, Logan chuckled. “Go on and see what he has to say.”
Truthfully, Lola didn’t want to talk to Shawn. However, he then called out to her again, so she had nochoice but to go out.
Shawn’s expression was a tad complicated when he spotted her. Never had he imagined that thematter would be blown into pieces at her hands. In his opinion, her family was just average, so whileshe had friends in authority due to her former profession, he wasn’t at all afraid since all those peoplewere bound by the law. He didn’t believe that he’d be on the losing end, nor did he believe that they’dsurreptitiously make things difficult for him.
However, never had it crossed his mind that Logan would be the variable in this. He didn’t take himseriously back then, but he’d been put in his place today. Although he didn’t lose his job, he’d beenstripped of his position. The higher-ups didn’t give him a specific reason, but they hinted that he’doffended someone he shouldn’t have offended, and they even urged him to settle the problem as soonas possible, else his days would be even worse.
This ‘someone’ couldn’t be Lola, so after mulling it over, he concluded that it was Logan who warnedhim today. He initially thought that Logan was merely talking big, but unexpectedly, he truly had theability to make life difficult for him. novelbin
Shawn then cast his gaze into the house, but he didn’t see Logan. At this, rage consumed him. I’vetruly missed taking him into consideration! If only I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have pestered Lola for
so long! He pressed his lips into a flat line, only apologizing to her after an eternity.
Then, he insisted that he didn’t mean anything, merely reluctant to break up with her since his feelingsfor her were real. It was actually no different from the contents of his ‘short essays’ in the past; otherthan the apology at the beginning, everything that followed was justification of his actions.
Regret assailed Lola for having come out, for she truly didn’t want to listen to this whole spiel. Thus,when he was going to continue expounding on his ‘short essay,’ she held up a hand to stop him. “Youdon’t need to say so much, Shawn. I’ve made myself clear to you. We’re indeed unsuited, and I’ve toldyou this. As long as you stop pestering me, we’ll go our separate ways.”
After staring at her for a long while, Shawn finally nodded. “Okay, we’ll go our separate ways.”
The two of them were very blunt, and the matter was seemingly cast in stone.
Lola then whirled around and went back into the house. Meanwhile, Logan was still gazing out with ahalf-smile on his face. Mr. and Mrs. Long, on the other hand, were embarrassed at once. They werestill holding gifts in their hands, wavering between keeping up the inane talk and turning around toleave.
Noticing Mrs. Long’s unease, Mr. Hunt declared, “Take everything back, for we’re not going to acceptthem. Also, don’t come here anymore. Just pretend that we’ve never been acquainted.”
Mr. Long nodded. “Sure, sure, no problem.”
Without putting down the gifts, the Longs turned around and left the courtyard. When they’d reachedthe gate, Mrs. Long’s mutterings drifted faintly into the air. However, she wasn’t cursing out the Hunts.
Rather, she was castigating Mr. Long for his cowardice, claiming that she’d been humiliated.Regardless, they asked for it!
