Usually, Old Mr. Jefferson would have meals alone in the Jefferson Mansion, but the four Young Ladies would find time to come over whenever possible. However, considering that they each had their own family and careers, they couldn’t possibly make time to come over every other day.
Hence, it had been a while since Old Mr. Jefferson had such an enjoyable time.
Though Logan wasn’t a sweet talker, Old Mr. Jefferson was still delighted, and was smiling throughout the meal.
From today’s visit, Lola could tell that the Jefferson Family had quite a good upbringing, as it was all shown in the way they talked and behaved. Instead of putting on airs and graces, they seemed to live the average mundane life.
During her previous job as a police officer, she was quite used to meeting wealthy people.
There were several wealthy families whose riches were not even considered as admirable, but their snobbery was indeed a cut above the rest.
They might have a long list of table manners, but they could swear a blue streak.
Not knowing what others felt, but Lola, for one, didn’t find it comfortable at all.
Perhaps due to her professionalism, she couldn’t tolerate discrimination at all, thus didn’t like it when people saw themselves as superior to others.
At that, she realized how much she came to like the Jefferson Family.
Perhaps only the people who were genuinely rich were more likely to return to their own roots.
When Logan and Lola planned to leave after lunch, Old Mr. Jefferson had arranged for servants to stuff their car trunk with goods.
At the sight of Old Mr. Jefferson standing by the road with a servant while holding a walking stick in his hand, Lola couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
With his gray hair, Old Mr. Jefferson did appear rather weak and stooped with age.
While having lunch together, she could clearly feel how happy he was when there was someone around the house to accompany him.
