One of his brothers-in-law patted him on his shoulder and warned, “Watch your mouth. You’ll be in trouble if your sisters hear what you’re saying about them.”
Logan cracked up. “You’re right, but I’m only saying a little behind their backs. They’re so fierce that I don’t dare to say anything like this in their faces.”
Next to him, the edges of Lola’s lips curled upwards, and she laughed along with them. These men appeared a little older and seemed really easy-going without the humorless quality of people in the business world.
They had barely chatted much when a voice called out from within the house. “Is that Miss Hunt? Come in quickly.” Thereafter, Lorraine was seen rushing out of the house.
With her usual enthusiasm, Lorraine completely ignored the men by the door and dragged Lola into the living room.
After she was in the house, she could still hear laughter from the door, and someone joked, “Another queen has arrived in the family. We’re done for. Our ranks will be lowered again.”
“I have no complaints about that,” Logan said.
Someone next to him teased, “Look how smitten you are!”
Lola felt her face burning as she followed Lorraine into the living room.
Old Mr. Jefferson was seated on the couch and dressed in festive clothings. Next to him was his young grandson, and they were chatting through the means of asking the young child questions, while the other three of Logan’s sisters were either in the kitchen or sitting on the couch as well.
So they’re all dressed formally, she observed and breathed a sigh of relief.
