Chapter 1273
Everyone had already left her yard at this time. Hence, she closed her gates and cleaned up her yard alittle before going back in to put away the gifts the Jeffersons had brought over.
There were simply too many things, and many of them were things that she didn’t recognize. Sitting onthe chair and sorting out the gifts one by one, she was stunned that those were all quality items thatshe had never seen before, though she had heard about some of them before. There were also thingswhich she hadn’t even heard of, and in addition to that, Logan had brought over lots of wine.
Fiona opened and closed her mouth a couple of times as she thought, Looks like Langdon’s sunnydays are here.
Logan brought Lola home straight away without following his father back to the main residence. Whenthey got back, she changed and stretched herself in the living room.
They had spent almost six hours on the road to and fro, and her whole body felt numb. Afterward, shecalled her mother to inform her that she had reached home safely.
At first, Fiona sounded happy over the phone and reminded her to take care of herself. Then, shelowered her voice to a whisper and asked, “Is it okay to tell you something now?”
Lola’s eyes darted toward Logan, who was not far off and muttered, “Yeah.”
Sighing, Fiona told her about what happened after they left, including all the details of the things theirneighbors had said. “Lola, you have to live happily with Logan. Only then can you give them a slap inthe face. You have no idea how mad they made me feel today,” she added.
In fact, Lola could imagine the scene, and she was also kind of mad just from hearing about it, muchmore for her mom who was faced with such a situation.
However, that was just the way people from the countryside were. Even though they claimed to bedoing other people good, every idea they came up with was actually meant to create the opposite effectand ruin others’ plans. Most probably, they thought that she was not good enough for Logan.
If she was dating a nobody, they would probably speak so well of him and urge her to marry him assoon as possible.
It’s impossible to guess what’s in a person’s heart sometimes, she lamented internally.
“We’re doing fine, so just let those people speak all they want. I don’t care about it,” she said into thephone.
Fiona sighed again. “I don’t want to care about it either, but it was really unbearable.”
Lola comforted her mother with a chuckle before finally hanging up. novelbin
Seated on the couch, Logan turned on the TV and asked, “What are you speaking about? Why are youbeing so secretive?”
With her cell phone still in her hands, she paced over and said, “We don’t mean to hide anything fromyou, but the neighbors were being all gossipy after we left. My mom was worried that you’ll be unhappyto hear about it, so she told me briefly about it.”
Logan raised his hand and she snuggled into his embrace without a word.
Fiddling with her earlobe, he asked, “What did they say?”
Since she couldn’t tell him the story word by word, she simply told him, “They probably think that I’mnot worthy enough for you, so they said some unpleasant things.”
“Not worthy enough for me?” He chuckled. “Then that just means they haven’t seen how worried myfamily are that you’ll run away.” Seeing that she was silent, he added, “Ignore them. This is our livesand only we know what the truth is. There’s no such talk as worthiness. Even if there is, it’s me who’snot good enough for you.”
A grin appeared on her face. “Okay, I got it.”
In the afternoon, they took a nap in the same bed. This time, Logan didn’t dare to try anything anymoreand only held her in his arms.
