The Returning Ex

We’ve only been together for about three months since we started dating. So, it sure is a sudden and quick marriage for us, Lola thought.

Then, Fiona asked, “Did they mention the value of the bridal price?”

Lola replied, “No.”

Afraid that her daughter might be displeased with this question, Fiona hurriedly explained, “I don’t mean to be rude. I just want to find out about it beforehand. Your dad had bragged to the neighbors that we’d receive an expensive bridal price. So, when Logan comes over to pass us the bridal price, our neighbors will surely come here to ask about it. If we get to know the value of it in advance, we’ll be better prepared…”

Lola understood that her mother was trying to say that they would be better prepared to face the neighbors if they knew the exact figure in advance. Not knowing the value of it either, Lola replied, “I don’t know. They never talked about it.”

Fiona said, “Never mind. We shouldn’t ask them about it. No matter how much they’ll give us, we’ll just take it. I’ll discuss with your dad how to stop our neighbors from coming over.”

Since there was nothing else to say, Lola hung up the call.

When she returned home in the evening, she never talked to Logan about the bridal price, and he seemed to have forgotten about it as well.
