Next One Is a Babe

When the Longs had left, Mr. Hunt ordered Mrs. Hunt to lock the gate. He felt that the resentment within him had dissipated, so he was grinning from ear to ear when he whirled around and returned to the house.

Logan also wore a smile on his face. “What were these people thinking? If they’d behaved decently from the very beginning, there wouldn’t have been such a huge fuss.”

Coming over, Mr. Hunt lifted a hand and patted him on the back. “You’ve got some tricks up your sleeve, boy! I like someone like you! If we can’t stand someone, we’ve got to put them in their place. We can’t just allow them to step all over us!”

Exasperated, Lola went out to the courtyard to help her mother with the cleaning. Dad is also the type of person who’ll exact revenge for the smallest thing, never admitting defeat or compromising. I can’t say that such people are bad, but life will be very tiring if one is so serious.

That night, Logan again drank with Mr. Hunt. This time, Mr. Hunt truly regarded him as family, telling him everything about the family at the dinner table. He told him about all the changes that’d transpired from Lola’s childhood until now, not concealing anything at all. Even trivial things such as Lola being discriminated against when she first started working, the disastrous missions she went on, and the many times she called home to grouse about her job weren’t exempted. In short, he blurted every single detail he remembered.

Lola truly wasn’t in the mood to hear all this. In fact, she wasn’t interested in hearing anything from anyone who was three sheets to the wind. Thus, she quickly went back to her room to rest after eating. Mr. Hunt’s voice was rather booming, so she could still hear him loud and clear despite lying on her bed in her room. She couldn’t quite put a finger on her feelings at this moment, but she seemed to be at peace.

At this time, her cell phone that was placed at the side vibrated again. Snagging it for a look, she saw that it was that hounding b*stard, Shawn, again. This time, however, he didn’t say anything about their relationship. Instead, he said that Logan probably had a powerful background, so he had to be a master manipulator and must’ve fooled around often with girls. Thus, he wasn’t someone whom a village girl like her could hold onto. Then, Shawn warned her that she might lose both the money and the person if she were to get together with Logan, urging her to know the score.
