The person who spoke paused for a moment before going on to say, “Looks like you don’t like the sound of it, Langdon. Regardless, everything I said is true. Lola is your only child, and this is the only time when you can ask for a bridal price. If you don’t state a price now, there will be no other opportunity for it.”
Someone else next to her chimed in as well. “What did the other family say? Is everything settled? Did you set the wedding date already? Even if they’re not buying you a house, they have to give you a car. It’s inconvenient to take a cab into the city with this distance.”
“That’s right. You’ll have to ask for all of this, including a house and a car. These are all just the basics. In addition, you spent so much on bringing up your daughter, so you can’t just give her away in vain without asking for a reasonable bridal price. Just the other day, I heard that Donnie’s daughter is getting married and he asked for tens of thousands in bridal price. That’s just the bridal price; the house and car are not included in it. Your Lola isn’t any better than his daughter, so you have to ask for this at the very least. You should call off the wedding if they’re not agreeable to it. Even if it’s difficult for a man to get a wife, a woman should be married off well.”
The gossip mongers went on one after another, and Fiona really doubted if they were really just being considerate for Lola. Pursing her lips and keeping her silence, all traces of a smile were long gone from her face.
All they cared about was shooting their mouths off for their own pleasure with complete disregard for Fiona’s attitude. Initially, she thought that they would give up if she didn’t say a thing, but they ended up talking endlessly.
In the end, they even urged her to call Lola to ask Logan to buy a house in full payment under Lola’s name before even considering the marriage.
Still keeping her silence, Fiona spun around and went into her yard, but the crowd followed behind her relentlessly.
In the house, Langdon slammed a door loudly to show his irritation, and they all could immediately tell from that moment that he was unhappy. Hence, they stood in the yard, afraid to step into the house.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
