They stopped asking after knowing that the Jeffersons could crush them if they stepped out of line. Instead, they
talked about Shawn. According to them, the Longs went to apologize to Shawn’s ex-girlfriend, and they even
brought gifts, but they were chased out. The Longs knew it’d be hard to set Shawn up with someone else around
here given his infamy, so they tried to reconnect with Shawn’s ex.
The Longs thought if they pretended to apologize, Shawn’s ex-girlfriend would date him again, considering his
supposedly superior conditions. After all, she did date him for three years, and they thought every other man would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshun her after finding out about her abortion, so they went for a visit in hopes of reconnecting. However, they
never expected that they would fail, and they were even chased out.
Shawn’s ex-girlfriend’s family was a feisty one. “My daughter won’t marry scum like your son even if he’s the last
man in this world!” her parents yelled.
Mr. Long was a coward, and he knew his son was in the wrong, so he chose to take the insult, but not Mrs. Long. In
contrast to her husband, she was an unpleasant person, and she started a shouting match there and then.
Shawn’s matter would have gone with the wind soon, but the nosy neighbors gossiped about it again after Mrs.
Long’s argument. Of course, Lola heard it, but she ignored them and kept on with her meal.
The neighbors wanted to see her reaction after hearing the gossip, but Lola stayed calm, refusing to play along.
Langdon too ignored what they were saying.
Then, he popped open one of the wines Logan gifted him before pouring some for himself and Logan. Fiona and
Lola didn’t want them to drink, but since the nosy neighbors were around, they let the men do what they wanted. A
moment later, Langdon took a sip of the wine, and to his surprise, it was nice. It was smooth, refreshing, and
soothing to the throat.
“Nice wine.” He nodded. “Have some more if you like it,” Lola blurted. “We have to live our lives how we want,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmright?” Langdon nodded. “Of course we do. Why should we care what anyone says? They ain’t us. Their opinions
are bull.” Oblivious to the fact that the Hunts were talking about them, the neighbors kept talking about Shawn. “I
heard Shawn sent someone to ask around about Lola, but I bet he isn’t trying to reconnect. He’s a guy, after all,
and the breakup humiliated him. It’s natural he wants to know how Lola is doing. See if she’s having it worse than
he is. I bet he minds it a lot.” Logan’s lips twitched, and he finally interjected, “Lola and I are getting married. If he
wants to know how she’s doing, tell him to attend our wedding.” Lola was shocked by Logan’s sudden
announcement, but she was in no position to snap at him. On the other hand, Langdon nodded. “Yep. If he cares
about Lola, I don’t mind inviting him to the wedding. He used to be friends with Lola after all, and the more the
merrier.” .
