The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1240

Logan answered them for the Hunts, “I told my family about it, and they’re in more of a hurry tham I am. My dad

even told me to hold the wedding as soon as possible. He’s worried she’d start to date someone else if I’m not

proposing.” He couldn’t let these nosy neighbors spread anything nasty about the Hunts.

Lola heaved a sigh of relief. Even though she didn’t hear about the rumors yet, she knew everyone must be calling

her a gold digger. The nosy neighbors who came previously kept socially blackmailing Logan into holding a

grandiose wedding if he wanted to keep up the Jeffersons’ reputation, then these neighbors made it sound like she

was trying to scam the Jeffersons out of their money. Thanks to that, Lola was worried her image might be scarred

in front of Logan, but her worry lessened after Logan defended her.

Unwilling to give up, the neighbors shifted the topic to the dowry the other villagers’ daughters received when they

got married. Lola knew they were trying to ask how much Logan was prepared to give, and she frowned when she

heard it. Obviously, she was displeased, but the villagers seemed to be oblivious to it.

A smile curled Logan’s lips. Of course, he knew what these people were getting at, but he didn’t care. They might

think the amount they talked about was a grand one, but it was less than pocket change for him, so he simply

dismissed what they said.

The Hunt couple were equally irritated. Even though they weren’t the ones asking Logan about it, they thought it’d

make the Jeffersons see them as nothing more than a gold digging family. Langdon waved them down in an

attempt to shut them up. “Let’s not talk about this. I don’t care how much those guys received. All I care about is

their happiness. Lola’s our only daughter, so she’ll make the final decision. All we have to do is see if Logan’s a good

match, and our job’s done on that part.

” Langdon was trying to tell them that their family didn’t care about the dowry, but the neighbors still didn’t want to

leave. “I know how you feel, Langdon.” They smiled. “But since you’re giving your daughter away to them after

raising her up, shouldn’t her husband’s family give something in return as appreciation?” That irked Langdon a

great deal. “What do you mean I’m giving her away? You mean she’s not my daughter after she gets married? Is

she going to abandon me?” Logan smiled. “Of course she won’t, and you’ll have me as your son-in-law.” Langdon

was pleased to hear that, and he nodded. “That’s right. You know just how to talk, Logan.” The neighbors played

along, and they had no more questions. When the Hunts were about to finish their lunch, the villagers quickly went

away. As Fiona cleared the table, she grumbled, “Can’t they just leave us alone? Why’d they have to ask so many

unnecessary questions? Do they want to embarrass us?” Langdon quickly agreed. “Yeah. How could they even ask

about the dowry? It’s not even their business, for god’s sake. Why’d they even bring that up?” Lola was helping her

mother with the dishes, and she shook her head quietly. Logan stood beside her, his hand on her shoulders. “Just let

them say whatever they want,” he told the Hunt couple. “Don’t mind them, and don’t let them upset us. It’s not

worth it.”
