Logan figured that Old Mr. Jefferson had a point. It would be bad if Lola decided to break up with him on the off chance that she was suddenly hit with the realization that Logan was as much a hooligan as before.
Therefore, Logan quickly approached his father. “So what should I do? Do you have a solution to that?”
Old Mr. Jefferson looked at him in disdain. “Why are you even asking me? Who among us is trying to get himself married anyway?”
“Of course, it’s me! You’re too old for that.” Logan stared at him with a look of confusion.
Old Mr. Jefferson glared at him as if looking at an idiot. Is he seriously this stupid? Heaving a sigh, he tried to guide Logan. “Yes, I do know you’re the one who has been trying to get married. Now that you’ve found a girlfriend, what do you suppose the next logical step is?”
With a frown on his face, Logan wondered what he could possibly mean by that, whereas Old Mr. Jefferson heaved another sigh before deciding to not hold it against an idiot like Logan. “You should of course marry her and bring her home, you idiot! As long as you’re not married, she isn’t yours! Only by marrying her and bringing her home can you ascertain that she is yours!” The fact that Logan needed him to explain in detail was frustrating.
As if receiving a wakeup call, Logan suddenly realized how important it was to marry Lola. However, he knew it would be too early to ask for her hand even by his standards as they just started dating, say less of Lola. Sitting on the sofa, Logan slapped his thigh in agitation. “I know I have to hurry, but more importantly, I have to make sure her family likes me before I can do anything else.”
