Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1185

Logan stood in the courtyard for some time, only turning around and returning to the house when everyone had left. Mr. Hunt then went over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Come with me, Logan. I’ve got something to discuss with you.” Putting away the hostility emanating from him, Logan docilely followed Mr. Hunt into the room.

Lola was now at a complete loss as to what her father was trying to do. Frowning, she turned and stared at Mrs. Hunt. “Is Dad scheming something? Look at how suspicious he is. I just have a feeling that he has a ploy of some sort.” However, Mrs. Hunt merely whirled around and went back to her cooking without saying a single word.

Logan and Mr. Hunt talked for a good while in the room. No one knew what they actually discussed, but they both seemed to be in high spirits when they came out. Skulking over to Logan, Lola asked, “What did the two of you talk about?”

Logan merely put a finger to his lips and made a shushing sound. “It’s a secret.” He acted all mysterious.

Lola’s gaze shifted between him and Mr. Hunt several times. At this time, Mrs. Hunt hollered, demanding that she come into the kitchen and help her cook. She obviously doesn’t want me to ask too many questions. She just had a feeling that her parents must have discussed something while she wasn’t at home. The matter must have been somehow related to me, yet they don’t want me to know what it is. This is rather worrying.

While Mr. Hunt was otherwise distracted, she pointed a finger at Logan. Lowering her voice, she warned, “Watch out. Let me tell you, I’ll kill you if you dare do anything behind my back.”

Logan merely smiled without saying anything.

Nothing suspicious happened during lunch. Since they were going to visit Old Mrs. Hunt’s grave and burn incense paper later, everyone ate rather quickly, and there wasn’t much conversation at the table either.

When they’d finished eating, Mrs. Hunt took out a large bag from another room. In there were incense paper and also hell banknotes.

Old Mrs. Hunt passed away a long time ago when the village hadn’t yet progressed to having a cemetery or cremating the dead, so she was simply buried on the mountain. After so many years, her grave was almost leveled, so Lola definitely wouldn’t be able to find it on her own. She’d thought that it’d only be her and her father, but Logan unexpectedly came over and took the bag from her. “Let’s go.”
