Chapter 1364
Mr. Hunt smilingly commented, “Young people lack foresight, so it’s understandable. It’s par for thecourse.”
Logan didn’t feel that he’d done anything wrong. There were two plates of steamed prawns on thetable, so he moved one of them right before Lola. “I was a touch embarrassed to do this earlier, butnow that everything is on the table, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about anymore. Here, this is allyours, Lola.”
Lola truly admired his level of shamelessness. They’ve already mocked him that much, yet he can stillbe so brazen in his speech.
At the side, Mrs. Hunt couldn’t quite stop laughing. “I never knew that Logan’s so hilarious!”
Old Mr. Jefferson harrumphed. “You think he’s hilarious, but I feel like beating him to death!”
Not at all bothered, Logan peeled two prawns for Lola and placed them into her bowl. “You don’t needto bother about them. They’re just jealous.” His voice was exceedingly tender. novelbin
Failing to stifle her laughter, Lola guffawed. Jealous? The thing is, what could these people at thedinner table be jealous of?
At this time, the usually taciturn Lysa giggled as well. “Logan’s mental fortitude is particularly strong. Hehas a set of personal standards, and he doesn’t care whatever people may say. I think such a spirit isquite valuable.” As this remark fell, one couldn’t tell for certain whether it was a compliment or scorn.
Logan nodded, looking all proud to have received a compliment. “Therefore, all of you have to learnfrom me. Got it? You’ve got to strengthen yourself mentally every day. Look at me. No one can hurtme.” He was actually right, for he was both mentally and physically strong, so it was indeed true that noone could hurt him.
After the bout of laughter, everyone started eating. It was a joyous occasion today, so all the men at thetable indulged.
The kitchens prepared freshly-made grape juice for Lola, claiming that it had an antiemetic effect. TheJeffersons truly care a lot for me! In a good mood, her appetite was likewise great, and she ate morethan usual.
Although Logan was clinking glasses beside her, the focus of his attention had always been centeredon her. The moment she turned to get to her feet, he swiftly asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feelingunwell?”
Placing her hand on his shoulder, Lola patted him gently. “I’m fine. I’m just going to the washroom.”
Logan’s worry wasn’t an act at all, and Mrs. Hunt saw it plain as day at the side. Lola ate a lot, yet shewas also quick, so she was already full while the others were still eating as they chatted. She languidlymade her way to the refrigerator in the kitchen. After a moment’s contemplation, she rummaged in thefreezer.
Logan had been keeping an eye on her out of his peripheral vision, so he instantly sprang up when henoticed her opening the freezer. Without even saying a single word to the others, he strode toward thekitchen. His movement was so sudden that everyone around him was shocked.
Mrs. Hunt knew that Lola had gone to the kitchen, so now that she saw him hurrying over, she hastilyfollowed, thinking that something might have happened to Lola. However, before she’d even reachedthem, she saw Lola crouched in front of the refrigerator while Logan stood beside her, stilling her handthat happened to be holding a carton of ice cream.
Since Logan had imbibed, his eyes were slightly red at this time. “No. You’ve just had dinner, and this istoo cold.”
Pressing her mouth into a flat line, Lola put on a pitiful expression. This was exactly the expressionLogan couldn’t stand, so he loosened his hold on her hand after some deliberation. “Just a little bit. Youcan only eat a tiny bit.”
All at once, Lola beamed. “Okay!”
However, just when she’d stood up with the ice cream in hand, Mrs. Hunt came over. “No, you can’t eatthat.”
Startled at the sight of her, Lola’s voice turned feeble. “I’ll just eat a bite.”
Mrs. Hunt went over and took the ice cream away. “You can’t eat this. You’ve just had dinner, and youdrank a lot of juice, so your stomach won’t be able to take this now. Your nausea lately has beensevere to begin with, so your stomach is already in distress. Don’t eat such stimulating stuff.”
