Shawn quickly denied, “Not at all. My parents can’t wait to meet up after I told them about you.”
Lola smirked. “They felt the same toward your ex, didn’t they?” They wouldn’t have agreed to him dating her for three years if that weren’t the case. But in the end, they forced him to break up because of the girl’s background. “Do you still like your ex? I want the truth.”
Left with no choice, Shawn finally answered, “We dated for three years. What do you think?”
Lola even laughed aloud. “Three years, but still you broke up with her.”
Shawn paled. “I—”
Lola raised her hand, telling him to stop talking. “Enough.” She sighed. “Since I got what I came here for, and I think you understand what I mean, it’s goodbye now.”
Logan grinned and waved at Shawn.
“Well, hello.” Irked by his attitude, Shawn shifted his attention back to Lola. “You’re here today because of him, aren’t you?” Lola was unfazed. “Is that important? Everything I asked you and everything you said are true, aren’t they?” That made Shawn shut up, and Lola’s patience finally ran out. “Don’t put the blame on someone else, Shawn. You played a big part in this whole mess. Think, Shawn. Ditching your girlfriend after she got an abortion proves that you aren’t the one I’m looking for.” Then she went back into the car, and Logan drove away into the night, leaving Shawn in the dust. There wasn’t a sound in the car aside from the whistling of the A/C. After he drove back into the village, Logan looked at the pacing villagers and asked, “Doesn’t feel good, does it?” “Huh?” Lola snapped out of it. “What did you say?” Obviously, she wasn’t listening to him. Logan smiled. “Did you clear things up with him?” Lola frowned. “I guess.” She had told Shawn what her thoughts were during that conversation, and she trusted him to do what was needed. Soon, Logan stopped before the Hunts’ house, and he saw some of the villagers there. Logan didn’t know why they were there, but Lola did. She knew they must have seen her going around in Logan’s car, thus came to ask about it. Ah, the typical nosy neighbors. .
