Female Novel
Chapter 1267
Langdon’s eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
The whole time the Jeffersons were in the house, there were people gathered outside the door, whowere either rubbernecking inside while standing on their toes, or circling the two cars parked outside.Even though these people hadn’t seen much of the world, it was still clear to them that these wereexpensive cars.
No matter how they tried, they could never figure out how Lola could be so lucky to find such a richman. Earlier, all of them had witnessed with their own eyes that the driver had unloaded tons of stufffrom the trunk of the car. They weren’t exactly sure what it was, but judging from the premiumpackaging of the gifts, they were sure that those were valuable items.
It was too awkward for them to barge into the yard to gossip because meeting the in-laws was aserious matter, so there was no reason for outsiders to intrude. Hence, they could only wait outsideuntil the Jeffersons left, then maybe they could pick up some tattle.
While the Hunts and the Jeffersons were discussing Logan and Lola’s marriage, both of them wereasked to leave the room and stay away from earshot. Since they didn’t want to be watched by thepeople in the yard, they decided to wait in Lola’s bedroom instead.
As the drive was a little tiring, Logan flopped onto Lola’s bed directly, and she hesitated before takingoff her shoes to lie next to him. She hugged him around the waist and snuggled close against him.
Kissing her forehead lightly, he wondered out loud, “Do you think the talk is going well?”
Lola snickered. “It’s going smoothly, for sure. Your father and sister are merely here as a formality. If myparents didn’t have the intention, they wouldn’t have welcomed them like that.”
“That’s good,” he muttered with a nod.
In the meantime, it didn’t take long for the other four people to finish their talks. When Old Mr. Jeffersonand Lorraine came out of the room, Logan jumped off the bed and put on his shoes upon hearing thenoises.
“You guys are done?” he asked as he came out of the bedroom.
With a smile, Lorraine nodded. “Yeah, Miss Hunt’s parents don’t have too many requests, and they arevery open-minded. They mainly want you both to be happy.”
Immediately, he understood what she meant, so he felt at ease as a wide smile spread across his face.“Her family are very kind people.”
Lorraine nodded just as Lola came out of her room and glanced at her parents who were not far off.They still seemed a little nervous, and they appeared rather insecure.
Pacing over to her mother’s side, Lola rubbed Fiona’s arm and gave her a smile. Fiona returned hersmile, but both her and Langdon were so nervous, solely because they were shocked.
Earlier during the marriage discussion of Lola and Logan with Old Mr. Jefferson and Lorraine, theJeffersons had offered a sum as the bridal price. The sum was so huge that the Hunts didn’t even dareto say it out loud. They knew that it was a sum that they could never earn in their whole lives. Hence,they were now a little overwhelmed and needed time to calm down.
Being in the dark about all these, Lola comforted her parents before bringing Old Mr. Jefferson andLorraine on a walk around the yard.
Old Mr. Jefferson was actually familiar with things in the countryside because he had started fromscratch and accumulated his wealth through hard work instead of inheriting a family business. Bornfrom a poor family background, he had been through half a lifetime of hardships before he had asuccessful business.
Subsequently, they wandered into the backyard.novelbin
