Next One Is a Babe

Nevertheless, Mr. Hunt didn’t stretch the truth. He merely said that Logan was Lola’s friend who drove her back and helped the family solve a huge problem, so he brought him here for her perusal.

Beside him, Lola frowned slightly. Brought him here for Grandma’s perusal? What does this mean? This is ludicrous. Just because he’d helped us out, Dad brought him here for Grandma’s perusal? This just doesn’t make sense! However, she couldn’t argue with him since they were all kneeling there, so she merely lowered her head and continued burning incense paper for her grandmother.

Beside her, Logan imitated her and greeted Old Mrs. Hunt as ‘Grandma.’ Then, he boasted about Lola’s achievements, speaking of the many cases she’d cracked before insisting that she was still very much righteous despite having resigned and was a person whom he admired.

Lola couldn’t quite put her finger on the veracity of his words. Anyhow, the only thing she could do at this very moment was to pretend as though she knew nothing and heard nothing.

Subsequently, Mr. Hunt brought up the incident with Shawn. Losing her cool, Lola softly chided him for bringing up the matter. “Don’t tell Grandma about such a thing.”

Mr. Hunt chuckled. “I just want to tell your grandmother about our lives now. You haven’t visited her for many years, so she must be missing you.” If one were to dwell upon this remark, it was actually a tad terrifying.

Lifting a hand, Logan patted Lola on the shoulder, urging her without words to let the matter go and just listen as Mr. Hunt spoke since it was rare that they were here. Thus, Lola sighed and nodded. “Alright,” she murmured in a whisper.

Mr. Hunt truly prattled on about Shawn, simultaneously tearing into him. Lola said nothing, trying her best not to take it to heart. Actually, the matter between her and Shawn was very simple. They just tried getting to know each other after a blind date, but it didn’t work out, so they then broke up. Hence, she was bewildered as to how such a huge fuss came to be.

They didn’t spend too long visiting Old Mrs. Hunt’s grave. When the incense paper and hell banknotes they brought were all burned, it then drew to a close. In the end, the three of them stood up. Mr. Hunt looked around before heaving a sigh. “This place is getting increasingly difficult to find. I’m not even sure whether I can still find it the next time since it’ll probably be leveled in no time with the rain beating down all year round.”

Reaching out, Lola rubbed his arm. “When it’s truly gone, then perhaps Grandma has already reincarnated.” A person will inevitably be forgotten by the world one day, and perhaps it’s then that she can obtain true rest.
