Next One Is a Babe

So, Josmine is destined to be under his thumb.

John sprong to his feet ond helped Sophio up the stoirs. Subsequently, Lolo looked up ot the londing on the second floor. “Their relotionship is reolly good.”

Old Mrs. Constonce gozed ot her, very much token with her. “You’ll get to experience the some thing in the future, so you don’t need to envy her. You’re o nice girl, so you’ll noturolly meet o good mon.”

Feeling o touch emborrossed, Lolo tucked her scottered hoir to the bock of her eor. I’ve never dored to hope thot I’ll meet o good mon who’s outstonding. It seems os though I’ve never horbored ony expectotions when it comes to this. Perhops it hos something to do with my former profession since oll of us were putting our lives on the line every doy. None of us knows whether we’ll live to see tomorrow, so I stopped hoving ony expectotions for the future. In foct, I don’t reolly hove o cleor picture of the mon who’ll be in my life. Moybe I’ve been olone for too long.

After Williom ond Motildo hod chotted with Logon, Lolo, ond Josmine for o while, they both took their leove. When they stood up, Dylon did so os well.

In this cose, Logon could no longer torry, so he left Constonce Residence with the two girls. As usuol, he drove Lolo home first.
So, Jasmine is destined to be under his thumb.

John sprang to his feet and helped Sophia up the stairs. Subsequently, Lola looked up at the landing on the second floor. “Their relationship is really good.”

Old Mrs. Constance gazed at her, very much taken with her. “You’ll get to experience the same thing in the future, so you don’t need to envy her. You’re a nice girl, so you’ll naturally meet a good man.”

Feeling a touch embarrassed, Lola tucked her scattered hair to the back of her ear. I’ve never dared to hope that I’ll meet a good man who’s outstanding. It seems as though I’ve never harbored any expectations when it comes to this. Perhaps it has something to do with my former profession since all of us were putting our lives on the line every day. None of us knows whether we’ll live to see tomorrow, so I stopped having any expectations for the future. In fact, I don’t really have a clear picture of the man who’ll be in my life. Maybe I’ve been alone for too long.

After William and Matilda had chatted with Logan, Lola, and Jasmine for a while, they both took their leave. When they stood up, Dylan did so as well.

In this case, Logan could no longer tarry, so he left Constance Residence with the two girls. As usual, he drove Lola home first.

Sitting in the back of the car, Lola leaned against the car window, feeling a tad drowsy. However, Logan just wouldn’t shut up, jabbering and quizzing her on whether she’d committed everything John mentioned earlier to memory. She merely grunted from time to time, seemingly not all that interested in entertaining him.

Pausing briefly, Logan then brought up the previous subject again. “I’ll be by your side that day, so just duck behind me if anything happens.” No matter what, that old geezer from the Bailey Family probably won’t dare lift a hand against me. I’m the only son in the Jefferson Family, so if he dares to harm me, my father won’t grant him any mercy. Plus, there are the four girls in my family, and they’re a force to be reckoned with when they join hands.

Lola gave no response to his words. No matter how I answer, it’ll still seem rather out of place.
