This time, Lola didn’t shy away because everyone’s attention was on the fireworks outside, and almost nobody
would notice them.
At the same time, sliced fruits and drinks were served. Grabbing a glass of juice for her, Logan brought it all the
way to her lips, and she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Suppressing a smile, she didn’t reject his offer
and took a sip.
Surprised, Sophia tucked in her neck next to them; she had thought that Lola was an aloof person, and wasn’t
expecting that she would be affected by Logan so much after they started dating.
Stroking her cheek gently, John asked, “Why don’t you spend more time looking at me instead of somebody else’s

With a frown, she cast him a look from the corner of her eyes, saying, “Are you trying to pick a fight with me? From
the moment we left the house, you’ve not said anything pleasing to my ears.”
Inching closer to her, he breathed out heavily and said, “I say all those pleasing words to you in bed. Are you sure
you want me to say them now?”
Oh my goodness! Sophia exclaimed in her mind. He can be so shameless that I feel like I don’t know him at all! She
gave him a push. “Hey, you’re acting like a thug.”
Undaunted, he added, “I’m only a thug to you, and I’ll be a thug to you when we’re home tonight.”
Sophia sighed. Forget it, I’m keeping my mouth shut or this guy will just get more and more tactless.
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Jefferson was chatting with his sons-in-law until his eyes fell on Lola. With a gentle look in his
eyes, he asked, “Lola, are your parents particular about anything? For instance, is there anything we should be
bringing with us on our first visit? I’m not so sure about things like this, and I’m afraid that they’ll be unhappy if we
come empty-handed.”
Knowing his concerns, she sat upright and answered him seriously, “You don’t have to bring anything. The last time
when Logan went over, he had already brought some gifts, and my family doesn’t have the custom of bringing gifts
on visits, so you can just come over.”
“Huh?” Old Mr.

Jefferson nodded. “I see, alright then.” After a short moment of contemplation, he asked if there was any taboo
with her parents, and she replied with a smile, “No, my parents are rather easy-going and have pleasant
personalities.” Old Mr. Jefferson could faintly feel that her parents would be easy-going people if they were able to
bring up Lola to be such a fine lady. Moreover, they had to be very tolerant to be able to accept his son’s roguish
personality. Due to her pregnancy, Sophia couldn’t stay up too late, and they stood up when it was about time to
leave. As everyone knew about her physical state, they didn’t try to make her stay, but merely reminded them to
be careful on the way home. Ian got up with everyone else to send her off, and when they reached their car in the
yard, he couldn’t help but stroke her head. “Young lady, you’re going to be a mother soon, and I still can’t imagine
how it will be.” Rooted to the spot, a sudden, inexplicable wave of sadness washed over Sophia, and she pouted her
lips before extending her arms to give him a hug. As her belly was quite big and it hung between them, it wasn’t
such a tight hug, but it was enough to make John frown. “Ian, I really like you,” she muttered softly. “It’s true, so I
wish you all the best in the future.” Patting her back, he replied, “It will be. Don’t worry.” .
