Lola gasped quietly. Well, someone changed his mind fast. He objected to this just a minute ago, but now he’s
playing along with Logan? These pesky neighbors are going to tell everyone about this. D*mn, I can already see
them pestering me about this.
The neighbors chuckled. “Well, we’ll be looking forward to the wedding. I bet it’ll be big,” they teased. They were
expecting the wedding to be huge, or someone would spread nasty rumors about the Jeffersons as a stingy family.
Nobody would do that though; nobody except for the nosy neighbors.
Logan wasn’t worried about that. Being the Jeffersons’ only son, his wedding would be one of the grandest events

came here for, the nosy neighbors made some small talk and left soon.
Lola sighed. “I bet everyone will know about the wedding in three seconds.”
Logan grinned. “Nice. I ought to thank them then.”
Fiona and Langdon looked at each other quietly, then they went back to their meal. After lunch, Logan and Lola
didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she took him for a stroll around the village.
It was a moderate-sized village, occupied by the elderly and the middle-aged. The youths had gone to work in the
cities. The villagers had nothing to do, so gossip was their only pastime. Wherever Lola went, they’d bound to meet
the villagers asking her about the wedding. Obviously, they had known about it from the neighbors, and Lola was
impressed by how quickly it spread.
Lola only smiled, for she couldn’t give a definite answer. On the other hand, Logan told them, “Soon. You guys are
invited too.” The villagers nodded. After they went around the village, Lola knew everyone had found out about the
wedding, much to her chagrin. I’m not even sure if we’re getting married. When they came back to the yard, Lola
pinched Logan’s waist. “I thought they’re already masters at spreading rumors, but apparently they’re still no
match for you.” Logan took the pinch and smiled. “I didn’t know how I should break it, and then they gave me the
chance, so I grabbed it.” Then, he hugged her. “You might think it’s too early to talk about marriage, and I
understand if you think it’s too sudden, but not for me. I’ve loved you for the longest time now.” Lola was still

It hadn’t been too long since they were officially dating, so they were still in their honeymoon period. It wasn’t the
best time to talk about marriage, but still she felt excited. Even though she didn’t understand Logan too well, she
was still willing to marry him. She never felt this much love toward a man since she was a child, so she knew this
must be true love. Now, Lola wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. The Hunts stood at the front door,
looking at the young couple. Fiona clicked her tongue. “Everyone’s saying Lola’s getting married, but I’ve never met
Logan’s family. Honestly, I’m worried.” She wasn’t the only one though; Langdon shared her sentiment as well.
