So, Jasmine is destined to be under his thumb.
John sprang to his feet and helped Sophia up the stairs. Subsequently, Lola looked up at the landing on the second
floor. “Their relationship is really good.”
Old Mrs. Constance gazed at her, very much taken with her. “You’ll get to experience the same thing in the future,
so you don’t need to envy her. You’re a nice girl, so you’ll naturally meet a good man.”
Feeling a touch embarrassed, Lola tucked her scattered hair to the back of her ear. I’ve never dared to hope that
I’ll meet a good man who’s outstanding. It seems as though I’ve never harbored any expectations when it comes to
this. Perhaps it has something to do with my former profession since all of us were putting our lives on the line
every day. None of us knows whether we’ll live to see tomorrow, so I stopped having any expectations for the

After William and Matilda had chatted with Logan, Lola, and Jasmine for a while, they both took their leave. When
they stood up, Dylan did so as well.
In this case, Logan could no longer tarry, so he left Constance Residence with the two girls. As usual, he drove Lola
home first.
Sitting in the back of the car, Lola leaned against the car window, feeling a tad drowsy. However, Logan just
wouldn’t shut up, jabbering and quizzing her on whether she’d committed everything John mentioned earlier to
memory. She merely grunted from time to time, seemingly not all that interested in entertaining him.
Pausing briefly, Logan then brought up the previous subject again. “I’ll be by your side that day, so just duck behind
me if anything happens.” No matter what, that old geezer from the Bailey Family probably won’t dare lift a hand
against me
I’m the only son in the Jefferson Family, so if he dares to harm me, my father won’t grant him any mercy. Plus,
there are the four girls in my family, and they’re a force to be reckoned with when they join hands. Lola gave no
response to his words. No matter how I answer, it’ll still seem rather out of place. On the other hand, Jasmine
turned her head and gazed out the window, pretending that she hadn’t heard anything. The car then came to a
stop below Lola’s apartment. Opening the car door, Lola alighted from the car and said, “Drive safely.” Winding
down the car window, Logan called out to her as she walked toward her house, but she paid him no mind. “This
woman actually dares to ignore me!” he muttered to himself. He waited until she’d gone into the stairwell before he
started the engine again and drove away. Throughout the entire drive, he didn’t make any move to talk to Jasmine.

Unlike the previous times, Jasmine didn’t attempt to make conversation and bug him either. Both of them were
silent, so the atmosphere was actually a smidge awkward.
Nonetheless, Logan didn’t realize it, so he drove in awkward silence all the way to her house. Imitating Lola,
Jasmine opened the car door and alighted from the car before reminding him to drive safely. Then, she headed
straight for the stairwell door downstairs. Unexpectedly, Logan sped away without saying a single word. The
moment she heard him drive away, she stilled with her back to where he’d driven off. A few heartbeats later, she
continued walking and entered the stairwell. I shouldn’t have expected him to figure out that I’m upset. He’ll never
realize anything amiss with that inept brain of his! Indeed, Logan didn’t realize anything at all as he drove back to
his clubhouse. Then, he planned his strategy for Ernest’s birthday celebration. For the first time in his life, he was
very much interested in something.
