Meanwhile, Shawn’s expression got increasingly awry while observing them from across them. Upon laying eyes on
him, Lola’s heart skipped a beat before she quickly moved away from Logan. “My father will likely beat the crap out
of you if you do that.”
While maintaining his smile, Logan retorted, “We’ll see if that will happen, or will he in fact invite me into the house
for a meal with much zest.”
Lola knew she couldn’t win against Logan when it came to bickering, so she decided to remain silent. On the other
hand, Shawn calmed himself down before telling Lola that his family would like to put down a date for their wedding
as soon as possible. Therefore, his purpose for visiting was to ask Lola if she had time to dine with members of both

Startled, Lola questioned, “Isn’t this a little rushed?”
However, Shawn only smiled at her before disagreeing with her. “I don’t think so. We’ve known each other for a
while by this point, so this is the customary procedure.”
Since they met on a blind date, it was true that they should be progressing at a faster pace, so marriage was in fact
the next logical step. However, Lola was slightly averse to the idea, as she wasn’t familiar with Shawn yet. She
refused to settle down with someone whom she didn’t know a lot about, so she declined, “I will be a little busy with
work, so I need more time.”
Shawn wasn’t about to give up that easily though. “It won’t take a lot of time. All we need to do is to go home, have
a meal with both our parents, and that will be about it.”
Pursing her lips, she gave a vague reply. “I’ll check on my schedule before coming to a decision.” Lola didn’t
promise him anything, as she wanted to keep her options open.
Shawn stared at her for a while before nodding.
“Alright, we’ll go according to your pace.” Holding onto his glass, Logan observed Shawn with a smug expression on
his face. Since he insisted on staying, the three of them spent an awkward hour on the sofa. It wasn’t until Lola told
them that she had to retire due to the late hour that Shawn stood up. “Sorry for bothering you. We will be taking
our leave now.” What he said was in fact directed at Logan. Judging from his current relationship with Lola, Logan
would most likely be chased out of the house even if he stayed, so he had no plans to stay after Shawn left. No
longer intent on competing with Shawn, he left Lola’s house after bidding her goodbye. Upon arriving at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcorridor, Shawn called out to Logan, the smile on his face long since faded when he spoke. “You should know that
Lola and I are a couple who might be married soon. Mr. Jefferson, it’s immoral to intervene with someone else’s
relationship. Since we’re all grown ups, I suppose you’ll understand what I mean.” Nodding, Logan shot back, “While
I know what you mean, are you certain that there is any semblance of love between you? How could I interfere with
a relationship when there was none to begin with?” After that, he left for his car, but continued on, “Your
relationship with Lola remains ambiguous, so neither are we certain who is the third party in this relationship.” Upon
finishing his sentence, he waved his hand at Shawn without turning around, his stance casual yet at the same time
a sight for sore eyes. Instead of driving away after getting into his car, Logan made a call. When the call connected,
he sounded furious when he spoke into his phone. “Start an investigation on this guy! And make sure to overlook
nothing! The more thorough you are, the better!” .
