Chapter 1240Logan answered them for the Hunts, “I told my family about it, and they’re in more of a hurry tham I am.
My dad even told me to hold the wedding as soon as possible. He’s worried she’d start to date
someone else if I’m not proposing.” He couldn’t let these nosy neighbors spread anything nasty about
the Hunts.
Lola heaved a sigh of relief. Even though she didn’t hear about the rumors yet, she knew everyone
must be calling her a gold digger. The nosy neighbors who came previously kept socially blackmailing
Logan into holding a grandiose wedding if he wanted to keep up the Jeffersons’ reputation, then these
neighbors made it sound like she was trying to scam the Jeffersons out of their money. Thanks to that,
Lola was worried her image might be scarred in front of Logan, but her worry lessened after Logan
defended her.
Unwilling to give up, the neighbors shifted the topic to the dowry the other villagers’ daughters received
when they got married. Lola knew they were trying to ask how much Logan was prepared to give, and
she frowned when she heard it. Obviously, she was displeased, but the villagers seemed to be
oblivious to it.
A smile curled Logan’s lips. Of course, he knew what these people were getting at, but he didn’t care.
They might think the amount they talked about was a grand one, but it was less than pocket change for
him, so he simply dismissed what they said.
The Hunt couple were equally irritated. Even though they weren’t the ones asking Logan about it, they
thought it’d make the Jeffersons see them as nothing more than a gold digging family. Langdon waved
them down in an attempt to shut them up. “Let’s not talk about this. I don’t care how much those guys
received. All I care about is their happiness. Lola’s our only daughter, so she’ll make the final decision.
All we have to do is see if Logan’s a good match, and our job’s done on that part.” Langdon was trying to tell them that their family didn’t care about the dowry, but the neighbors still
didn’t want to leave. “I know how you feel, Langdon.” They smiled. “But since you’re giving your
daughter away to them after raising her up, shouldn’t her husband’s family give something in return as
appreciation?”
That irked Langdon a great deal. “What do you mean I’m giving her away? You mean she’s not my
daughter after she gets married? Is she going to abandon me?”
Logan smiled. “Of course she won’t, and you’ll have me as your son-in-law.”
Langdon was pleased to hear that, and he nodded. “That’s right. You know just how to talk, Logan.”
The neighbors played along, and they had no more questions. When the Hunts were about to finish
their lunch, the villagers quickly went away. As Fiona cleared the table, she grumbled, “Can’t they just
leave us alone? Why’d they have to ask so many unnecessary questions? Do they want to embarrass
us?”
noveldramaLangdon quickly agreed. “Yeah. How could they even ask about the dowry? It’s not even their
business, for god’s sake. Why’d they even bring that up?”
Lola was helping her mother with the dishes, and she shook her head quietly. Logan stood beside her,
his hand on her shoulders. “Just let them say whatever they want,” he told the Hunt couple. “Don’t mind
them, and don’t let them upset us. It’s not worth it.”
