“Why don’t I go to your place?” she quickly asked. “We need to talk.”
Shawn paused, wondering if he should agree to it, but he did in the end. “Sure. You know where I work, do you?”
She did. The matchmaker told her all about Shawn before setting up the date. Well, all the good things about him
except for his ex. And then Lola hung up and kept her phone before coming back into the house.
Meanwhile, Logan and Langdon were chatting happily. Langdon lived his whole life in this village and relied on labor
to sustain himself. He was proud of himself for raising Lola to be a public servant, but her job was dangerous. He
didn’t want her to die an early death, so Langdon asked her to quit her job despite the glory it would bring. Nobody

On the other hand, despite being the flippant young master who spent all his time fooling around, Logan had seen
most of what the world had to offer, and he could tell all of his stories to Langdon, fascinating him.
Langdon liked Logan the more he talked to him. He thought Logan knew a lot about the world, and he talked with
dignity. Logan was the ideal image of how a young man should be, at least in Langdon’s eyes.
When Lola came back in, Langdon was already inviting Logan for dinner. That wasn’t something Logan would
refuse, so he smilingly took the offer.
Then Langdon looked at Lola. “Your friend’s an interesting young man. You never told me you had a friend like him.”
Lola blinked at him. Huh? I did talk about him. He’s that thug I kept talking about. Lola kept her thoughts to herself
and chuckled.
“Why should I? I don’t have to introduce all my friends to you, do I?” Langdon turned back to Logan and laughed
out heartily. “Hahaha! Can’t keep her down now that she’s an adult. I’m getting old.” Logan laughed along. “I can’t
keep her down either. She’s my keeper.” What the hell is this guy talking about? Lola felt like smacking him on the
head. That took Langdon by surprise. He looked at Logan, then at Lola, and then he guffawed. Lola wondered if he
realized the innuendo in Logan’s reply. After he had a chat with the Hunts, Logan wanted Lola to take him around
the village, but Lola didn’t want to. If she did, all the nosy neighbors would start spreading nasty rumors once they
saw her bringing Logan on a tour. But still, Langdon waved them away.

“This is the first time Logan’s here, so you take him for a tour, Lola.” Logan smiled and put his hand on Lola’s
shoulder, then he ushered her out. “Let’s get going. Even your dad gave us the green light.” Despite her protests,
Logan kept pushing her out. Once they came out, Lola asked, “Why don’t you take me to Shawn’s place? I need to
talk to him.” A short while later, Logan nodded. “Sure.” He thought it was best Lola made it clear with Shawn, or it’d
be too late if he came with his family to talk about the marriage. Then he drove toward Shawn’s working place
according to the directions Lola gave.
