The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 1271

Logan gave her waist a pinch. “You have no loyalty at all. Just a meal later and you’re already abandoning your husband.”

For Lola, the word ‘husband’ still sounded very surreal to her now, and it made her so very bashful that she was tongue-tied. Just hearing it was enough to make her blush brilliantly.

Shaking her head, Lorraine said, “My goodness, I can’t take this anymore. It’s frightening when an old bachelor falls in love. I’m outta here.”

Meanwhile, even though Langdon loved to drink and drag out a gathering, he was aware that Old Mr. Jefferson had to leave in the afternoon. Thus, he only had a little to drink, and after chatting for a while in the house, it was about time for them to call it a day.

Lorraine went in to help Old Mr. Jefferson and they chatted while heading out. Repeatedly, Old Mr. Jefferson invited the Hunts to visit him.

After all, they were not young anymore, and were already used to life in the countryside where they knew all their neighbors. If they really moved to a new place, they would have to start from the beginning. With a smile on her face, Lorraine said, “There’s no rush, so you can think about it carefully. If you really want to move, then you can just move. It’s not a problem if you’re not used to the life there and move back again.” Fiona nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. We’ll think about it.” When the Hunts sent them to the door, they had another bout of small talk before Lorraine helped Old Mr. Jefferson into the car. The whole time, the neighbors gathered and watched from the side. Some of them even pursed their lips with a look of disdain on their faces, but the Hunts ignored them completely. There would always be people who were uneasy when others were doing well, even though it had nothing to do with them, and the Hunts were already used to seeing such people.

Lola and Logan got into their car as well, and she rolled down the window to wave goodbye to her parents. “Get back in the house. We’re leaving now.” After reminding them to watch out on the way home, the Hunts watched as the cars drove away, and when they were gone, it only took a second for the bystanders to surround them. It was too awkward for them to ask anything when the Jeffersons were here, but there was nothing stopping them now. One of them came over and asked, “Is Lola engaged now? What did you guys discuss with them today? Did you mention the bridal price? You can’t make them pay a low bridal price. Anyone could tell that they’re a wealthy family, so you have to state a high price. The higher, the better. This is for your own keep in the end.” Unwilling to listen to all this nonsense, Langdon turned around and went back into his house.
