Next One Is a Babe

---

The neighbors nodded after hearing that. It wasn’t that uncommon in rural villages for people to find another partner right after a break up, especially when both parties met each other through blind dates. Women of Lola’s age might be a little desperate to get married, so they would go through multiple candidates in quick succession until they found a match, whom they would quickly settle down with. It wasn’t something unprecedented in their village.

Upon examining Logan, they had an inkling that he was rich, which was somewhat apparent from the fact that he drove a car. Not really liking the neighbors, Logan kept a straight face while allowing them to check him out. These gossipy folk never read the atmosphere, so after chattering for a while longer with Langdon, they went on to chat with Logan instead of leaving the house.

Though they looked as if they wanted to know more about Lola’s possible marriage, they were in fact trying to gauge his background. They had never seen much of the world, so they were curious as to who Logan was upon noticing that he was rich.

Besides, they liked to compare themselves with each other, so they would like to know what kind of man Lola managed to find. That was especially the case when they were neighbors. Although they wouldn’t do that in front of Lola, they would compare their own circumstances to hers while behind her back.

On the other hand, it wasn’t Logan’s intention to show off, but he didn’t see the point in hiding his background as well. After all, he couldn’t possibly reject the inheritance that he rightfully owned. Therefore, he gave the neighbors honest replies when they asked him a plethora of questions that ranged from his job, his possessions, as well as if he would be able to find Lola a job.

Upon knowing that Logan owned a clubhouse and that his family owned a few houses in the city, as well as the fact that he was able to easily find Lola a job, they smacked their lips in dismay. As if feeling unsatisfied, they asked what his family’s professions were. Annoyed by their gossipy attitude, Logan shot back, “All my sisters own their own company, so they don’t have to work.”

With their mouths agape, one of them commented, “Oh, so they own their own company. Your family sure is rich.” Feeling slightly abashed now, they seemed to have given up on prying any further.

In the meantime, Langdon heaved a sigh of relief. They sure need someone to have them to shut the f*ck up. I suppose rumors about Lola having found herself a rich man will soon be flying around, but whatever. It’s none of my business what they think of us, he thought to himself. If Lola did end up marrying Logan, she would have no business coming back to the village. The rumors wouldn’t affect them if they wouldn’t be there to take them in, so everything should be fine.

After spending some more time in Lola’s house, they ran out of topics when gossip was no longer an option, so they stood to bid Langdon goodbye. Having washed her hands, Lola entered the house after she was done cooking. “What did they ask about? Did they ask about every single detail of Logan’s family?”
