Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 1038

Old Mr. Jefferson glowered at his son. “Brat, what do you mean? Stop saying you resemble me. You’re nothing like me. I have no idea why you’ve turned out like this.”

Unable to take it anymore, Logan rebuked, “Old man, watch what you say. If Mom comes into your dream tonight, she might beat you up!”

Burning with rage, Old Mr. Jefferson picked up a pillow and hurled it at him. “Brat, stop twisting my words!”

He’s so feisty now. Has he really been under the weather? Logan guffawed and dodged the pillow.

Meanwhile, Lydia’s eyes were fixed on the bag Logan had brought with him. After the men were done with their bicker, she asked, “Logan, was it a man or a woman who gave you this?”

Pretending to be calm, Logan gazed at his sister and replied, “Lydia, why did you ask this question?”

Suddenly, Lysa chimed in, “Of course it must be a gift from a girl.”

Hearing that, Lorraine gave her own two cents as well. “It’s no wonder he’d bring this bag all the way back home.”

Facing his sisters, Logan felt a little embarrassed. “I just forgot to leave it at the clubhouse because we were in a rush.”

Lorraine gave him a meaningful smile. “Oh yeah, I totally trust you.”

Since his father’s body was alright, Logan decided to leave after he was done with bantering and having a chat with him.

Unlike his usual self, Old Mr. Jefferson suddenly teased, “Leave the food here for me to have a taste. I used to like it when I was young.”

Startled for a moment, Logan replied, “I didn’t know you like to eat preserved meat. However, you’re not in the pink of health now. Your doctor has said that you should eat only light and nutritional food, so you probably should forget about having preserved meat.”

Lydia played along with her father. “Look, he isn’t willing to leave the box here. I’m sure it’s a gift from a girl. Tell me the truth. Is she a woman you fancy?”

With a disdainful expression, Logan hurriedly waved his hand. “No, she is not a woman I fancy. She’s just a friend. If you meet her, you’ll understand that she isn’t a woman; she’s as tough as a guy! Why should I lie about this? If I have a girlfriend, I’ll tell you about it.”

Leaning against the couch, Lynett chuckled. “Bring her to meet us then. I’m sure a girl who’s given you food must be a kind-hearted person. Other than John and Sophia, you don’t have many friends, so we’d love to meet her.”

Pressing his lips together, Logan gave it a thought and replied, “I’ll have to ask her about it. It’s inappropriate to bring her home.”

Lydia smiled. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. You brought Sophia to meet us when she was single, and we didn’t think she was your girlfriend. Stop overreacting.”

“I’m not overreacting,” Logan muttered under his breath. “Alright. I’ll bring her to meet you if I’m free. If not, then forget it.”

Logan was reluctant to bring Lola to meet his family members because it could mean that they were more than just friends. If my sisters insist on meeting Lola, I’ll just treat her to dinner and let them take a look at her from the corner.

Hearing what Logan said, nobody demanded that he had to bring his friend home. After advising him not to invite any trouble, they let him go back to his place.
