Lorraine loved anyone who could keep her brother in line, such as Sophia. Appearing exceedingly friendly, she came right over and sat down beside Lola. “Nice to meet you. I’m Lorraine Jefferson, this scoundrel’s sister.”
Faltering briefly, Lola then instantly replied, “Nice to meet you. I’m Lola Hunt.”
Lorraine arched an eyebrow. “Miss Hunt.” After saying that, she turned her gaze on Logan. “The two of you must have just started eating, no? Well then, I’ll join you both.” Without waiting for a response from either of them, she raised a hand and asked for the server, ordering two more dishes.
Lola naturally couldn’t say anything to the contrary, so she sat there with her lips pursed, keeping mum.
Meanwhile, Logan had no idea what Lorraine was trying to do either. If I were to rashly request that she leave, she might just go ballistic considering her explosive temper. Thus, he put up with it as well.
Lorraine, on the other hand, made herself right at home. While eating, she even asked Lola for her personal information, her actions very much similar to Old Mrs. Constance’s on the previous day.
Logan could somewhat tell that his sister had probably misconstrued their relationship, but the words he had to explain things and clear up the matter got stuck in his throat for some inexplicable reason. In the end, they remained unsaid.
It wasn’t quite appropriate for Lola to clarify their relationship, so she merely answered whatever questions that came her way.
As Lorraine looked at her, she found Lola all the more pleasing. Then, she even patted her on the shoulder, declaring, “This brother of mine really has to be taught a lesson, so you don’t need to give him any quarter. Just straighten him up when it’s called for in the future. All four of us will back you up.”
