On the other end, Mr. Hunt’s voice was hesitant as he said, “I’d like a confirmation of your decision. I’m worried that you were merely blinded by rage when you rejected Shawn Long back then, but if you’re really not interested in pursuing a relationship with him, I’ll be firmer in my rejection next time. I didn’t dare rebuff them so resolutely the few times they came over, afraid that you might change your mind.”
Lola looked up and gazed at Logan again while replying to her father, “I’ll never get back with him, so if they go again, just reject it directly on my behalf. I hadn’t taken much of a liking to him even back when I was in the dark about his misdeeds, so I’m all the more detached now after learning about it all.”
Mr. Hunt was a touch delighted, making it clear that he didn’t like Shawn either. “Sure, sure. I’ll kick them out if they come over again.” After saying that, his voice turned sly. “What about that Logan kid? Are the two of you still in contact? I think he looks quite decent, so he must be a good man.”
Lola hesitated for a moment before admitting it. “He’s right outside my office door now. He’s indeed quite a decent person, but he’s got tons of flaws as well.”
Mr. Hunt wasn’t at all bothered. “Ah, all young people have some flaws. As long as he’s upright, everything else is secondary. You just need to consider whether his flaws contrast with your principles. Minor flaws are inevitable, for even we ourselves have flaws.”
Lola laughed. “Why are you telling me all this? You make it sound as though I’m going to date him.”
On the other end, Mr. Hunt guffawed without saying anything in response. However, both of them understood his underlying meaning.
