Chapter 1271
Logan gave her waist a pinch. “You have no loyalty at all. Just a meal later and you’re alreadyabandoning your husband.”
For Lola, the word ‘husband’ still sounded very surreal to her now, and it made her so very bashful thatshe was tongue-tied. Just hearing it was enough to make her blush brilliantly.
Shaking her head, Lorraine said, “My goodness, I can’t take this anymore. It’s frightening when an oldbachelor falls in love. I’m outta here.”
Meanwhile, even though Langdon loved to drink and drag out a gathering, he was aware that Old Mr.Jefferson had to leave in the afternoon. Thus, he only had a little to drink, and after chatting for a whilein the house, it was about time for them to call it a day.
Lorraine went in to help Old Mr. Jefferson and they chatted while heading out. Repeatedly, Old Mr.Jefferson invited the Hunts to visit him.
Lola was their only child, and they would be lonely when she moved out after marrying Logan. If theywere willing, Old Mr. Jefferson meant for them to move over with Lola to the city. Accommodationwould be arranged for them and they would have someone to take care of them with Lola and Logannearby.
Although the Hunts were hesitant, they were still interested in the idea.
Due to the unique nature of Lola’s previous job, she rarely returned home, and they seldom gatheredas a family. Not long after she quit as a police officer, she was immediately getting married. Despite the
convenience in transportation for her to return home, she wasn’t able to visit them as often in a yearwhen she wanted to. Furthermore, troublesome issues cropped up quite often.
The Hunts wanted to live close to their daughter and son-in-law actually, but they were unsure of thissudden idea to leave the countryside and live in an unfamiliar place. After all, they were not younganymore, and were already used to life in the countryside where they knew all their neighbors. If theyreally moved to a new place, they would have to start from the beginning.
With a smile on her face, Lorraine said, “There’s no rush, so you can think about it carefully. If youreally want to move, then you can just move. It’s not a problem if you’re not used to the life there andmove back again.”
Fiona nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. We’ll think about it.”
When the Hunts sent them to the door, they had another bout of small talk before Lorraine helped OldMr. Jefferson into the car.
The whole time, the neighbors gathered and watched from the side. Some of them even pursed theirlips with a look of disdain on their faces, but the Hunts ignored them completely. novelbin
There would always be people who were uneasy when others were doing well, even though it hadnothing to do with them, and the Hunts were already used to seeing such people.
Lola and Logan got into their car as well, and she rolled down the window to wave goodbye to herparents. “Get back in the house. We’re leaving now.”
After reminding them to watch out on the way home, the Hunts watched as the cars drove away, and
when they were gone, it only took a second for the bystanders to surround them.
It was too awkward for them to ask anything when the Jeffersons were here, but there was nothingstopping them now.
One of them came over and asked, “Is Lola engaged now? What did you guys discuss with themtoday? Did you mention the bridal price? You can’t make them pay a low bridal price. Anyone could tellthat they’re a wealthy family, so you have to state a high price. The higher, the better. This is for yourown keep in the end.”
Unwilling to listen to all this nonsense, Langdon turned around and went back into his house.
