Female Novel
Chapter 1272
The person who spoke paused for a moment before going on to say, “Looks like you don’t like thesound of it, Langdon. Regardless, everything I said is true. Lola is your only child, and this is the onlytime when you can ask for a bridal price. If you don’t state a price now, there will be no otheropportunity for it.”
Someone else next to her chimed in as well. “What did the other family say? Is everything settled? Didyou set the wedding date already? Even if they’re not buying you a house, they have to give you a car.It’s inconvenient to take a cab into the city with this distance.”
“That’s right. You’ll have to ask for all of this, including a house and a car. These are all just the basics.In addition, you spent so much on bringing up your daughter, so you can’t just give her away in vainwithout asking for a reasonable bridal price. Just the other day, I heard that Donnie’s daughter isgetting married and he asked for tens of thousands in bridal price. That’s just the bridal price; the houseand car are not included in it. Your Lola isn’t any better than his daughter, so you have to ask for this atthe very least. You should call off the wedding if they’re not agreeable to it. Even if it’s difficult for a manto get a wife, a woman should be married off well.”
The gossip mongers went on one after another, and Fiona really doubted if they were really just beingconsiderate for Lola. Pursing her lips and keeping her silence, all traces of a smile were long gone fromher face.
All they cared about was shooting their mouths off for their own pleasure with complete disregard forFiona’s attitude. Initially, she thought that they would give up if she didn’t say a thing, but they ended uptalking endlessly.
In the end, they even urged her to call Lola to ask Logan to buy a house in full payment under Lola’sname before even considering the marriage.
Still keeping her silence, Fiona spun around and went into her yard, but the crowd followed behind herrelentlessly.
In the house, Langdon slammed a door loudly to show his irritation, and they all could immediately tellfrom that moment that he was unhappy. Hence, they stood in the yard, afraid to step into the house.
Despite that, they kept appearing to be concerned for the Hunts. “It’s true! You really have to thinkabout all these. They will ignore you if you bring this up after the wedding. You’ll have to bring this upwhen they’re asking for her hand in marriage. That family is so rich, anyway. So, what’s the problem ifyou ask for all these?”
Fiona dismissed them. “Just go home, all of you. I’m kind of tired now. I’d like to take a nap. You’ve allspent a long time staring outside, so you should just go home now and get along with your ownbusiness.”
Without waiting for a response, she turned and entered the house, slamming the door shut behind her.She didn’t care how they would look at her and went straight into her bedroom.
As Langdon had had a little to drink, he was now lying in bed with his eyes closed when she took aseat in the chair nearby. “What’s wrong with these people? Do they really think I can’t hear from theirwords that they can’t wait to ruin Lola’s marriage? They’re just a bunch of distasteful people who can’tstand to see others being well off.”
Langdon snorted. “All you women know is to meddle in other people’s affairs all day long. You don’teven know how to live your lives properly, and yet you’re keeping your eyes on other people’s lives.Clearly, there’s a problem with your brains.”
Pouting, Fiona refuted, “I’m an exception because I don’t meddle with other people’s affairs.”
With his eyes completely closed as though he was about to fall asleep, Langdon continued, “Earlierduring lunch, the Jeffersons already said that they will hold an especially grand wedding. When thattime comes, let’s see how the looks on their faces would be. I’m just waiting to see their shockedfaces.”
“That’s true.” Fiona nodded in agreement. “The more they’re watching, the better we should live ourlives. We’ll see who will be the joke in the end.”
Langdon decided not to speak anymore as he shifted into a more comfortable position and fell asleep.On the other hand, Fiona was unable to fall asleep from the anger. A few minutes later, she got up andwent outside again.novelbin
