Female Novel
Chapter 1312
No matter how much the bridal price was, as long as Lola was happy, they would be content with it.
A moment later, Fiona came into the room in an attempt to retrieve the bank card.
One of the relentless neighbors said, “Hurry up and check how much money is in the card. I don’tbelieve they’re able to fork out so much money at once. What’s wrong? Are you afraid that we’ll borrowmoney from you, so you’re not willing to show us?”
With a frown, Fiona stopped what she was doing. It seems that before these people find out how muchmoney is in the card, they won’t be leaving anytime soon. If I insist on not showing them the amount ofmoney, they may spread false information to other villagers.
Fiona turned to gaze at her husband, who directly lay down on the bed. It seemed that he decided notto care about this anymore.
After cursing her husband secretly, Fiona fell into a dilemma with the card in her hand. “Well, I don’tknow how to check the amount of money in this card.”
Sure enough, someone among them knew how to do this. The person took over the card and called thebank’s careline. The neighbors were so fervent about this that Fiona couldn’t even get a word in.
Initially, Fiona was flustered, but seeing that the neighbors were more nervous than she was, shemanaged to calm down instantly. Then, she went out to pick up the fruits that she had yet to finishpreparing and returned.
The neighbor followed the instructions, then he was eventually connected to a customer servicerepresentative. Nevertheless, Fiona couldn’t hear what the person on the other end was saying.
After the inquiry ended, the neighbor hung up the call. With a conflicted expression, he smacked hislips and returned the bank card to Fiona.
In a curious manner, Fiona asked, “How much is it?” novelbin
The neighbor pursed his lips and said in an obviously jealous tone, “They’re really generous.”
Hearing this, Fiona understood that the bank card indeed contained a lot of money. Langdon, who waspretending to be asleep, opened his eyes immediately.
At this point, the neighbors understood that the Jeffersons never went back on their word, so theystopped pestering the Hunts and streamed out of the house.
After all of them were gone, Fiona closed the main door and returned to the bedroom.
Seated on the bed, Langdon asked with widened eyes, “Did you hear how much it was?”
Fiona shook her head. “I didn’t. Just now, I asked the one who called the bank how much it was, but hejust wouldn’t tell me. I guess it has to be a lot of money. Otherwise, they would have mocked us.”
Yeah. If it’s a petty amount of money in the card, they would have laughed at us for sure. Gazing at thecard, Langdon asked, “How rich do you think they are?”
Fiona raised her eyebrow. “How would I know? I haven’t been to their place.”
Well, she’s right. We’ve learned about Logan mainly from our contact with him. We don’t even knowwhere he lives, Langdon thought.
At the thought of this, both of them felt guilty. They had always seen themselves as responsibleparents, but they didn’t even know where their son-in-law lived. Basically, they had allowed theirdaughter to get married to Logan without much consideration.
After a pause, Fiona said, “You may take a rest first. I’ll call Lola now and tell her that we’ll go over totheir home someday.”
They had awakened early in the morning since the Jeffersons were coming to their house. Normally,Langdon would wake up late in the morning, but on this day, he got up earlier than Fiona. However, hecouldn’t have a shut-eye at the moment. After taking a rest on the bed for a while, he decided to strollaround the backyard.
On the other hand, Fiona hesitated for a long time before calling her daughter.
Still on the road, Lola picked up the call and asked in a languid manner, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
With a smile, Fiona asked, “Have you reached home?”
“No. Did something happen?” Lola asked back.
Smacking her lips, Fiona replied, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that we haven’t been to Logan’s home
before, so we’d like to visit his place one day. When will you be free? Your dad and I will go over on ourown.”
