Lola froze up after reading the last page. The lady went to the hospital once, and she had an appointment with the
obstetrician. After that, she stayed in the hospital for a few days. Even though Lola had no experience in dating, she
knew what happened. The lady must have gotten an abortion. Pressing her lips together in exasperation, she closed
the document before handing it back to Logan.
Logan took it back and rolled it up before putting it aside. “I don’t think you can let this slide,” he said calmly. “You’d
better consider this further. Someone who ditches his girlfriend when she needs him can’t be a good guy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLola massaged her forehead, looking frustrated, but she took his advice. “I’ll find a time and ask him about it.”
At this, Logan said nothing more; it would be ill-advised for him to opine more on the matter. After that, he stayed
in the office until noon before going out for lunch with Lola.
Halfway through their meal, Lola’s phone rang. Since her phone was on the table, Logan managed to see the caller
ID and saw that the call was from her father.
The call took her by surprise, but Lola picked it up quickly. Logan couldn’t hear what Lola’s father was saying, but
from the looks of it, Shawn had gone to the Hunt Residence, and Lola’s father wanted her there.
Judging from the situation, Shawn most probably had gone to talk with the Hunt couple after failing to convince Lola
to date him. All this while, Lola’s parents had wanted her to marry, and after Shawn had expressed his wish to do
so, they accepted his request. Knowing what had happened, Lola stiffened up, and she was reluctant to go back.
Logan came up with an idea, and he tapped on the table, asking her to look at him.
He then mouthed, ‘I can give you a ride, and you can talk about his ex.’ Lola frowned, so Logan kept mouthing, ‘You
can run, but you can’t hide.’ Lola wasn’t someone who’d run from her troubles. Facing them head on was her style,
and since Logan was offering his help, she paused for a moment before nodding. “Fine. I’ll be back shortly.” Her
father let her off the hook after that, and Lola sighed. “Why did he have to see my parents?” Logan smiled. “I knew
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit. He wasn’t trying to discuss it with you yesterday. He was just notifying you. He wants to date you even if it is by
force.” Lola kept quiet, but she didn’t look too happy about it. They went back to the gym and tidied up the office
after lunch, then Logan gave Lola a ride home. Coincidentally, he was wondering before this what kind of excuse he
could come up with so he could go to her home, and now a chance presented itself. Lola’s hometown was in a
county’s village slightly some distance away, and it would take more than three hours by car. Knowing this, Logan
started some conversation about Lola’s blind date with Shawn to stave off boredom. “How was he like?” In all
honesty, they didn’t talk much during the date. She left halfway through, and Shawn was interrupted by a phone
call. He seemed to have business of his own to settle, so they ended the date on a hurried note.
