Next One Is a Babe

After puffing out some smoke, Logan replied, “Sure. It’s definitely large enough.”

The old lady nodded. “How long have you known Lola? She never mentioned you before. Could it be a sudden marriage for the two of you? Well, it’s neither good nor bad. However, if you’re married without getting to know each other first, many problems will arise in the future.”

With a scoff, Logan looked away and kept smoking.

Worried that she was being too blunt with her words, the old lady continued with a smile, “Anyway, Lola is a kind-hearted and well-educated woman. Otherwise, Shawn Long wouldn’t have pestered her for such a long time.”

Logan frowned and turned to face the old lady. Does she think I have no idea what her intentions are? It’s no wonder that Lola and her parents loathe these people. They’re really deplorable.

With the cigarette between his lips, Logan snorted. “You’re right. Shawn Long had been pestering her because she’s a brilliant woman. However, as her husband, I had to fix a man like him who didn’t know his place.”

Sensing the defensiveness in his voice, the old lady smiled in embarrassment and added, “That’s right.”

Logan went on to say, “I have known Lola longer than you thought, so I know what kind of person she is, and it’s not a sudden marriage for us. However, I think it comes down to personal choice. If you love someone, then it doesn’t matter whether it’s a sudden mariage. Some people had said things about Lola in front of me before. Fortunately, I was able to differentiate the kind-hearted ones and the ones with ill intentions.”

Utterly embarrassed now, the old lady let out a hollow laugh and fled the scene.

When Logan was done with the cigarette, he turned around and entered the house. Lola happened to have made the noodles, and she called out to him. After taking a look at his expression, she knew that something was amiss. “What happened? You look disgruntled.”

Logan wrapped his arms around her and gave her a deep kiss. “Nothing. I just feel sorry for what you had gone through in the past.”

With her brow arched, Lola asked, “Why are you feeling sorry for my past? Did anyone tell you anything?”

“No. Let’s have the noodles now.” Logan didn’t want to let his conversation with the revolting old lady affect his wife’s mood.

Sometimes, he couldn’t understand why some people would behave in the way they did. If they saw that someone had achieved some success, they would want to meddle in this. Even if they couldn’t get any benefits for themselves, they would love to make the person feel miserable.

Since Lola had no idea when her parents would return, she only made enough noodles for the two of them. After they were seated, they proceeded to enjoy the noodles and had a chat. Logan told her to look around the house and give away the things they didn’t need.
