Next One Is a Babe

Because as it turned out, Shawn was in fact doing all sorts of things behind their back despite looking like an honest man. Heaving a sigh, Langdon relented. “Okay, but Lola, I’ll say this again. You have to steer clear of things that you shouldn’t be doing so that you won’t end up cutting out all of your options like Shawn’s ex-girlfriend.”

Lola chuckled upon hearing what her father told her. “Alright, I get what you mean, so don’t worry.”

By that point, there wasn’t much else to be said, so she hung up before returning her phone to her pocket. Lifting her head to look at Logan, she asked, “Are you feeling more reassured now?”

Logan cupped her face in his hands while giving her a hard kiss on her lips. “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”

Although she knew Logan was being sincere, she wasn’t entirely certain if he could deliver, but she smiled nonetheless. “Okay, I believe in you. Let’s have dinner now.”

When they were eating, Logan told her of his plans to officially visit the Hunts again. Other than that, he was also planning to bring a present with him as a sign of his sincerity. However, Lola shook her hand while disagreeing. “That won’t be necessary, as it’s uncommon to do that in our neighborhood. We’ll only be the subject of gossip in my neighborhood if you keep such a high profile while visiting.”

After all, she just broke up with Shawn recently, so nothing good would come of it if anybody else saw her bringing Logan home. Logan couldn’t help but agree upon imagining the situation, so he nodded. “Alright, but I feel sorry for you.” However, Lola didn’t seem to think so, as she didn’t really care about such formalities. In her opinion, building a better future was more important than that.

After dinner, both of them watched TV while curled on the sofa. Logan was leaning against the sofa, whereas Lola leaned against him while playing with his fingers. To be honest, the TV in Lola’s house was more of a decor than anything else, as she never watched TV whenever she was at home. However, with Logan occasionally turning to kiss her on the head, it felt oddly satisfying as warmth coursed through her heart while watching TV with him.

When it was time, Lola sent Logan off, while the latter knew he couldn’t stay when they literally just established a relationship. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but press her against the wall to kiss her long and hard, which caused the unhealed wound on her lip to reopen. Hitting him on the shoulder, she chided, “Leave, you pervert!”
