It took Lola a long time to get changed into the wedding dress and put on make-up. Meanwhile, Logan had sent a fleet of cars to fetch the neighbors in Lola’s hometown.
Logan had to get himself ready as well, but a short moment later, his phone started ringing. After checking the screen, he picked up the call and asked, “John, what’s wrong?”
In an apologetic voice, John replied, “Logan, I’m so sorry. Sophia feels pain in her stomach, so we can’t attend your wedding today. We’re in the hospital now, and the doctor has said that she’s going to give birth soon.”
Despite being startled for a bit, Logan then said with a smile, “That’s great! It’s fine. The baby is more important. Please take good care of her now. After the wedding, I’ll go to the hospital to see her.”
Since John was indeed busy, he hung up the call soon.
After giving it a thought, Logan went to look for Lola, who was having her hair styled. Leaning against the door frame, he told her, “John and Sophia are not coming to our wedding. They’re in the hospital now because Sophia is about to go into labor.”
Lola asked in surprise, “Really?”
Smacking his lips, Logan replied, “Yeah. Perhaps her child has decided to come out of her on this day to congratulate us.”
Lola chuckled. “That’s great. After the wedding, we should pay her a visit. However, I’m not sure if the baby will have been born by then. I heard that it’s time-consuming and excruciatingly painful to give birth to the first child.”
Knowing nothing about this, Logan stood behind her and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Lola was done with her make-up, so she looked softer than her usual self. Pressing his hands on the back of the chair, he said, “We have to work harder.”
Knowing what he was trying to say, Lola snorted. “Go and get ready now. There are many things you need to do today.”
As soon as she finished her words, the phone in Logan’s pocket buzzed. After reading the message, he patted her head and said, “I’ll get ready now. See you at our wedding later.”
