Female Novel
Chapter 1359
Logan’s movements were exceedingly swift. Springing out of bed, he dashed over to the bathroom towash his face and brush his teeth, a whirlwind of activity. Meanwhile, Lola had already packed up, soshe merely changed and sat in the sitting area to wait for him. Logan then packed his luggage as well,but there wasn’t much luggage since most were odds and ends they bought during their trips out.
When everything was done, the two of them went downstairs and ate a simple breakfast at the hotelrestaurant. Then, they took a taxi to the airport. They got the time just right, for they boarded the planeshortly after arriving at the airport.
Logan was so excited that despite his initial plan of surprising his family after going back, he gave OldMr. Jefferson a call while the plane hadn’t yet taken off. When Old Mr. Jefferson answered the call, hisvoice was no different than usual; he merely knew that they were coming back today, but not Lola’spossible pregnancy. Perhaps Lynett and Lorraine didn’t tell him anything out of worry for his health.Bouncing off the walls, Logan declared, “Dad, I’ll tell you something, but you’ve got to stay strong,okay?”
All at once, a bolt of fear lanced through Old Mr. Jefferson. “Have you done something reprehensibleagain, you damn kid? Let me tell you, I’m not going to help you if you’ve created a huge mess. You’vegot to take responsibility by yourself!”
Logan hooted in laughter over the phone. Then, he asserted, “It’s not something reprehensible. It’ssomething good.”
However, Old Mr. Jefferson obviously didn’t believe him. “Have you ever done anything good? You’venever done anything decent since young.”
This remark truly saddened Logan. novelbin
Beside him, Lola could hear everything Logan said. A tad embarrassed, she raised her hand andpatted him on the arm, shaking her head to signal him not to publicize her pregnancy. After all, it’s notcertain yet since a pregnancy test may be wrong.
After a while, Logan again insisted through the phone, “It’s truly a good thing. Say, why can’t you justtrust your son once?”
“Cut the crap!” Old Mr. Jefferson blurted. “I know your despicable character all too well. So, whattrouble did you wreak this time?”
Logan hissed. “Old man, if you continue speaking like this, there’s nothing more to be said between us.I won’t tell you, then.”
Old Mr. Jefferson had no intention of yielding to his threat. He snorted, “Whatever! I’m not interested inwhatever deplorable thing you’ve done. Just settle it yourself.” After saying that, he hung up the phonebefore Logan could respond.
Exclaiming, Logan’s face was filled with surprise as he gripped his cell phone in his hand. “This oldman’s temper has gotten worse with me gone.”
Beside him, Lola burst out laughing. Dad is becoming increasingly child-like. At times, he’s even cuterthan a child!
The plane’s cabin doors started closing after a while, so Logan turned off his cell phone.
Still feeling a touch discomfited, Lola leaned back in her seat wanly. Lifting a hand, Logan stroked herhair. “We’ll be home very soon, so just put up with it first. Everything will be fine when we’re home.”
Murmuring an assent, Lola closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulder. She felt as bad today asshe was yesterday, but she could endure it since she’d learned that it was good news.
She didn’t sleep much throughout the entire flight, for nausea remained her ever-present companion.Despite having drank a few glasses of water, the nausea was still at the forefront. The distress she feltthroughout it all was just indescribable; she just felt uncomfortable no matter how she sat, and shewanted to sleep, yet she just couldn’t doze off.
Actually, she could tell that Logan was also restless beside her when she was feeling ill at ease, butshe truly couldn’t feign nonchalance. She was just so harrowed that she simply didn’t know what to do.
She ate some fruits mid-flight, but nausea rose after she’d eaten them. In the end, she could only leanback against her seat and inhale deeply. It seemed that it was the only way to reduce the irritatingqueasiness within her.
When the plane landed, Lola almost burst out in tears. Finally, we’re home!
