Next One Is a Babe

Logan gave her waist a pinch. “You have no loyalty at all. Just a meal later and you’re already abandoning your husband.”

For Lola, the word ‘husband’ still sounded very surreal to her now, and it made her so very bashful that she was tongue-tied. Just hearing it was enough to make her blush brilliantly.

Shaking her head, Lorraine said, “My goodness, I can’t take this anymore. It’s frightening when an old bachelor falls in love. I’m outta here.”

Meanwhile, even though Langdon loved to drink and drag out a gathering, he was aware that Old Mr. Jefferson had to leave in the afternoon. Thus, he only had a little to drink, and after chatting for a while in the house, it was about time for them to call it a day.

Lorraine went in to help Old Mr. Jefferson and they chatted while heading out. Repeatedly, Old Mr. Jefferson invited the Hunts to visit him.

Lola was their only child, and they would be lonely when she moved out after marrying Logan. If they were willing, Old Mr. Jefferson meant for them to move over with Lola to the city. Accommodation would be arranged for them and they would have someone to take care of them with Lola and Logan nearby.

Although the Hunts were hesitant, they were still interested in the idea.

Due to the unique nature of Lola’s previous job, she rarely returned home, and they seldom gathered as a family. Not long after she quit as a police officer, she was immediately getting married. Despite the convenience in transportation for her to return home, she wasn’t able to visit them as often in a year when she wanted to. Furthermore, troublesome issues cropped up quite often.

The Hunts wanted to live close to their daughter and son-in-law actually, but they were unsure of this sudden idea to leave the countryside and live in an unfamiliar place. After all, they were not young anymore, and were already used to life in the countryside where they knew all their neighbors. If they really moved to a new place, they would have to start from the beginning.

With a smile on her face, Lorraine said, “There’s no rush, so you can think about it carefully. If you really want to move, then you can just move. It’s not a problem if you’re not used to the life there and move back again.”

Fiona nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. We’ll think about it.”

When the Hunts sent them to the door, they had another bout of small talk before Lorraine helped Old Mr. Jefferson into the car.

The whole time, the neighbors gathered and watched from the side. Some of them even pursed their lips with a look of disdain on their faces, but the Hunts ignored them completely.
