Chapter 1236
They stopped asking after knowing that the Jeffersons could crush them if they stepped out of line.Instead, they talked about Shawn. According to them, the Longs went to apologize to Shawn’s ex-girlfriend, and they even brought gifts, but they were chased out. The Longs knew it’d be hard to setShawn up with someone else around here given his infamy, so they tried to reconnect with Shawn’s ex.
The Longs thought if they pretended to apologize, Shawn’s ex-girlfriend would date him again,considering his supposedly superior conditions. After all, she did date him for three years, and theythought every other man would shun her after finding out about her abortion, so they went for a visit inhopes of reconnecting. However, they never expected that they would fail, and they were even chasedout.
Shawn’s ex-girlfriend’s family was a feisty one. “My daughter won’t marry scum like your son even ifhe’s the last man in this world!” her parents yelled.
Mr. Long was a coward, and he knew his son was in the wrong, so he chose to take the insult, but notMrs. Long. In contrast to her husband, she was an unpleasant person, and she started a shoutingmatch there and then.
Shawn’s matter would have gone with the wind soon, but the nosy neighbors gossiped about it againafter Mrs. Long’s argument. Of course, Lola heard it, but she ignored them and kept on with her meal.
The neighbors wanted to see her reaction after hearing the gossip, but Lola stayed calm, refusing toplay along. Langdon too ignored what they were saying.
Then, he popped open one of the wines Logan gifted him before pouring some for himself and Logan.Fiona and Lola didn’t want them to drink, but since the nosy neighbors were around, they let the mendo what they wanted. A moment later, Langdon took a sip of the wine, and to his surprise, it was nice. Itwas smooth, refreshing, and soothing to the throat. “Nice wine.” He nodded.
“Have some more if you like it,” Lola blurted. “We have to live our lives how we want, right?”
Langdon nodded. “Of course we do. Why should we care what anyone says? They ain’t us. Theiropinions are bull.”
Oblivious to the fact that the Hunts were talking about them, the neighbors kept talking about Shawn. “Iheard Shawn sent someone to ask around about Lola, but I bet he isn’t trying to reconnect. He’s a guy,after all, and the breakup humiliated him. It’s natural he wants to know how Lola is doing. See if she’shaving it worse than he is. I bet he minds it a lot.” novelbin
Logan’s lips twitched, and he finally interjected, “Lola and I are getting married. If he wants to knowhow she’s doing, tell him to attend our wedding.”
Lola was shocked by Logan’s sudden announcement, but she was in no position to snap at him. On theother hand, Langdon nodded. “Yep. If he cares about Lola, I don’t mind inviting him to the wedding. Heused to be friends with Lola after all, and the more the merrier.”
