Next One Is a Babe

Lola’s moving remark woke Logan up and filled his heart with a gush of warmth.

Downstairs, the housemaids prepared some warm soup because they knew that the Jeffersons were all drunk.

Lola went to scoop a bowl of the soup, which she slowly brought upstairs. Right when she walked to the stairs, she saw a room door opened slowly and out came Daniel, Lorraine’s husband.

Daniel noticed her immediately and went up to greet her. His gaze fell on the bowl in her hands. “Is that warm soup?”

Not waiting for her reply, he quickly added, “I’ll have to get a bowl of that quickly. Lorraine will make a fuss when she wakes up.”

Lola almost laughed out loud. “Logan was acting impulsively. Please don’t take it personally.”

He waved his hands with a smile. “It’s rare to see him defend someone. It’s quite endearing to watch.”

Then, he added, “Logan really loves you. He has never acted this way before. I can tell that you’re the apple of his eye.”

Faced with Daniel’s remark, she blushed and nodded without replying. Carrying the soup, she walked past him to get to Logan.

In the room, Logan was still leaning against the headboard and panting heavily, looking like he was suffering.

Upon entering the room, Lola went up and handed him the bowl. “Drink it. You’ll feel more comfortable afterward.”

In the past, Logan never touched any soups during a hangover. However, he really could not stand the terrible feeling anymore and gulped down the contents.

She took some napkins and handed them to him. “Could you still make it to your dinner tonight with Miss Gwendolyn and the rest?”

“Yes, of course.” Logan slowly got out of bed. “They have not seen my marriage certificate yet. How could I not attend?”

After hearing his ridiculous reasoning, Lola shook her head defeatedly. “It’s not like they’ve never seen one before. Why are you bringing it over to show off?”

He didn’t care about what she said. “They’ve never seen my marriage certificate. I have to show them!”

This long-time bachelor finally got himself a wife. Naturally, he’d want to show off to the others.

She could only nod and let him have his way. “Sure, sure, show them how handsome you look on the marriage certificate. Without your gold chain on you, you look more sophisticated.”

The mention of the gold chain made him laugh. “How about we let go of this and never bring it up again. Now, when I look back, I always wonder why I loved wearing gold chains.”

She laughed at him and pulled him into the bathroom for a nice shower.

Although some time had passed, he still reeked of alcohol, and the smell lingered.

Since he was a little dizzy, he simply nodded at her. “Sure, you should get ready too. We will leave soon.”
