Next One Is a Babe

Lola gave him a coquettish ‘hmph’ before turning around to enter her room, while Logan could only lie down in his bed helplessly after taking a cold shower.

Even though she was a person who could fall asleep in all kinds of beds, she found herself feeling a little restless now that she was in a new place. After switching off the lights, she stared at the ceiling.

Two days later, Old Mr. Jefferson and Lorraine would be paying her parents a visit. Based on the Jeffersons’ impatient personalities, it seemed that her marriage with Logan would be settled if the visit went well.

In the past, she did hear about quick and sudden marriages from those around her. After getting to know each other from a blind date, they would start dating when the timing felt right, then they would move on to engagement and marriage.

Before this, she thought it was very irrational for one to hand over themselves so blindly, but if she had to be honest with herself, she couldn’t deny that she hadn’t been dating Logan for a long time as well.

If things really were really settled and they decided to get married, it would only be around two months at the most since they started dating. Hence, their wedding could also be considered quick and sudden.

Why do I feel that we’ve been together for a few years already? she thought, her hands on her cheeks. Still, she had the feeling that their understanding of each other was enough to support their impending marriage.

Is this what people usually call having ‘double-standards’?

The thought of it made her really shy, and she tossed and turned in bed for a while before finally falling asleep. When it was daybreak, she immediately woke up.

As it was quiet outside, she reckoned that Logan was still sleeping. Getting out of bed slowly, she then went to wash up before going into the kitchen.

There was everything in the fridge, and it sparked a rare interest in her. Without thinking that it would be too much of a hassle, she started preparing congee, pancakes, fried eggs and even sausages and warm milk.

She was never so patient when she was alone, so she would either prepare something instant or eat out. While she was busy in the kitchen, Logan woke up and smelled the aroma of the food the moment he stepped out of the room.

Peering over at the kitchen, he saw that Lola was wearing an apron with her hair tied loosely as she focused on making pancakes on the stove. Although he had seen her cooking before, none of the images were as attractive as she was right now.

Lazily, he sashayed to the kitchen entrance and leaned against the doorframe. “Honey, why are you up so early?” he asked with a soft smile.

Startled, she turned to him and grinned. “I couldn’t sleep so well in a new place. Go and wash up now. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
