Logan had anticipated the call. Therefore, he took out his phone and received the call with a smile. “What’s up?”
Sophia’s voice boomed through the speaker. “Logan! Have you registered your marriage with Miss Hunt? It was so secretive!”
Logan’s mouth almost broke from his wide grin. “Isn’t it normal to register for marriage when you reach the right point in a relationship?”
Even though he painted it lightly, Sophia could tell by the excitement from his tone that he was over the moon. Since this was his big day, she decided against joking with him.
In a jolly tone, she asked, “Where are you now? Why don’t you both come to my place? Let’s have a celebration!”
Chuckling, Logan suggested, “We’re at the Jefferson Mansion. I had wanted to call you. Let’s meet up for a dinner gathering. Ian will be there too.”
She agreed to it. “Right, I forgot about your family. Of course they will need to celebrate the occasion with you first. Let’s meet at night then. Logan, huge congratulations to you! Please send Miss Hunt my wishes too. May your love last forever!”
Logan gave it some thought and agreed with the observation. The Jeffersons had more daughters than sons, and the men in the family were destined to be in a disadvantaged position.
After lunch, everyone had some drinks. Logan was probably too excited because he drank the most. Normally, Lola would not have any alcohol. However, in the merry atmosphere, she toasted the four sisters and drank a bit. Since she was a lightweight, it only took a few sips to turn her tipsy. Lorraine laughed at the sight. “Lola! You’re really something. I could tell that you’re a naive and innocent girl!” Nowadays, a lot of younger girls could likely hold their liquor better than Lola. Logan didn’t sleep well the night before. After a few drinks, his eyes turned bloodshot. When he turned around, he noticed Lola leaning back into the chair, her eyes squinting in dizziness, which made him feel very sorry for her. He pulled her into an embrace and accused his sisters, “Why did you all keep making her drink? You are not acting like a sister at all!” Lysa chuckled and retorted jokingly, “Did you hear yourself? Once you got married, you immediately abandoned your sisters for your wife!” Logan pitied Lola, who was already drunk before lunch. He wondered if she would feel nauseated later. Caressing the back of her head, he asked, “Do you want to have lunch before taking a nap?” Tipsy from the alcohol, she felt as if the world was spinning, and she had no energy left for lunch as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a daze.
“I feel dizzy.” He sighed and kicked his stool to the side. Bending over, he lifted her up in his arms effortlessly. Lorraine flashed a defeated smile. “Are you going to blame us now? We didn’t know that she’s a lightweight. She didn’t even eat much.” Beside them, Old Mr. Jefferson could not hold his laugh. “Let’s heat up the food later. When she’s awake, we’ll have the servants send the lunch to her room. I bet she never drank much before. Why didn’t you girls ask her before forcing her to drink?”
