The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1268

Having taken a special liking to the small farms in the countryside, Lorraine paced around the backyard a few times and even said that she would like to have a small yard to plant her own vegetables.

Next to her, Old Mr. Jefferson snorted. “Forget it. Are you sure you’ll have the time to take care of it? You’ll only hand it over to the servants in the end.”

Clicking her tongue, she agreed. “That may be true.”

Her days were usually busy, and if she really had a small yard, she wouldn’t have the energy left to take care of it.

Staring at the small yard, Old Mr. Jefferson sighed. “When we were poor in the past, we used to have a small yard for vegetables too, and your mother would sometimes pull a small cart to sell the vegetables on the streets. Money wasn’t worth that much back then, and vegetables as well because almost every family was producing it. There were times when she would earn less than two bucks after spending the whole day sitting on the roadside.”

Letting out a deep, long sigh, he pressed his lips into a thin line and shook his head, reminiscing the past.

Then, Logan placed an arm around Lola’s shoulder and said, “Mom spent the hardest days with you, but she didn’t manage to pull through until the good days.”

With a sigh, the old man lamented, “That’s true. I’ve let her down the most in this life.”

This topic was a little saddening, and Lola didn’t know what she should say.

When it was about time, Fiona started cooking with the ingredients she had prepared in the kitchen in the morning. Soon, Lola came in to help out.

In the kitchen, Fiona scanned around, and when she was sure that none of the Jeffersons were around, she whispered, “Did Logan mention anything about the bridal price to you?”

Startled because she didn’t like the topic, Lola asked, “How much do you guys want?”

Fiona’s eyes darted toward the kitchen entrance again before answering, “What do you mean by that? They were the ones who brought it up during the discussions earlier. I’m still shocked by the amount. Your dad and I are wondering if we had heard wrongly.”
