Langdon’s eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
The whole time the Jeffersons were in the house, there were people gathered outside the door, who were either
rubbernecking inside while standing on their toes, or circling the two cars parked outside. Even though these people
hadn’t seen much of the world, it was still clear to them that these were expensive cars.
No matter how they tried, they could never figure out how Lola could be so lucky to find such a rich man. Earlier, all
of them had witnessed with their own eyes that the driver had unloaded tons of stuff from the trunk of the car.
They weren’t exactly sure what it was, but judging from the premium packaging of the gifts, they were sure that
those were valuable items.

there was no reason for outsiders to intrude. Hence, they could only wait outside until the Jeffersons left, then
maybe they could pick up some tattle.
While the Hunts and the Jeffersons were discussing Logan and Lola’s marriage, both of them were asked to leave
the room and stay away from earshot. Since they didn’t want to be watched by the people in the yard, they decided
to wait in Lola’s bedroom instead.
As the drive was a little tiring, Logan flopped onto Lola’s bed directly, and she hesitated before taking off her shoes
to lie next to him. She hugged him around the waist and snuggled close against him.
Kissing her forehead lightly, he wondered out loud, “Do you think the talk is going well?”
Lola snickered. “It’s going smoothly, for sure. Your father and sister are merely here as a formality. If my parents
didn’t have the intention, they wouldn’t have welcomed them like that.”
“That’s good,” he muttered with a nod.
In the meantime, it didn’t take long for the other four people to finish their talks. When Old Mr. Jefferson and
Lorraine came out of the room, Logan jumped off the bed and put on his shoes upon hearing the noises.
“You guys are done?” he asked as he came out of the bedroom.
With a smile, Lorraine nodded.
“Yeah, Miss Hunt’s parents don’t have too many requests, and they are very open-minded. They mainly want you
both to be happy.” Immediately, he understood what she meant, so he felt at ease as a wide smile spread across

his face. “Her family are very kind people.” Lorraine nodded just as Lola came out of her room and glanced at her
parents who were not far off. They still seemed a little nervous, and they appeared rather insecure. Pacing over to
her mother’s side, Lola rubbed Fiona’s arm and gave her a smile. Fiona returned her smile, but both her and
Langdon were so nervous, solely because they were shocked. Earlier during the marriage discussion of Lola and
Logan with Old Mr. Jefferson and Lorraine, the Jeffersons had offered a sum as the bridal price. The sum was so
huge that the Hunts didn’t even dare to say it out loud. They knew that it was a sum that they could never earn in
their whole lives. Hence, they were now a little overwhelmed and needed time to calm down. Being in the dark
about all these, Lola comforted her parents before bringing Old Mr. Jefferson and Lorraine on a walk around the
yard. Old Mr. Jefferson was actually familiar with things in the countryside because he had started from scratch and
accumulated his wealth through hard work instead of inheriting a family business. Born from a poor family
background, he had been through half a lifetime of hardships before he had a successful business. Subsequently,
they wandered into the backyard. .
