Chapter 1270


    “Maybe they’re concerned about your marriage,” Lorraine said with a nod.


    L could only nod in agreement. “Yeah, maybe.” Far from being concerned, they’re just thirsty for a bunch of gossip, she thought silently.


    Despite that, she recalled her conversation with her mother in the kitchen earlier about the bridal price. If this got out, the whole vige would


    be in a buzz, and she had no idea how these people would criticize her behind her back.


    Without a doubt, there would be talks about her being a gold-digger, and she could even imagine that some people would suspect her of being


    a sugar baby to Logan. Or else, there would be no reason for a wealthy family like the Jeffersons to take a fancy on her since there were plenty


    of beautiful girls in the world.


    Everyone could tell that there was nothing extraordinary about her looks, education level and job. Not even her family background was


    exceptional, so what made her so special?


    She didn’t even want to think about it; just the thought of all these gave her a headache.


    The meal dragged on for quite a while, and it was L and Lorraine who finished eating first. In the countryside, things were more rxed


    and people didn’t require the younger generation to wait at the table for the elders to finish eating. Hence, while the men were still chatting,


    both of them excused themselves from the table and went for a walk in the yard.


    Someone at the gates who saw theming out asked loudly through the door, “L, did you bring your boyfriend home today to meet your


    parents? Are you going to settle things about your marriage?”


    Before she could even say anything, Lorraine spoke up first. “Yes, we came here to discuss their marriage today. We’re very happy with L,


    and we can’t wait for her to join our family.”


    “Huh?” that neighbor eximed. “Really? L is really lucky, then,” he said, his tone sounding somewhatplicated.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    With the smile still on her face, Lorraine replied, “No, no.


    We’re the lucky ones because she’s way out of my brother’s league.” She spoke loudly and clearly, enough to let L hold her head up high in


    front of all those nosy people, efficiently shutting that neighbor’s trap. Perhaps there were others who wanted to ask more, but when they saw


    how protective Lorraine was over L, they all swallowed their questions. Still, there were people hanging around and would asionally


    turn to look into the yard, but nobody dared toe over tantly despite the curious looks on their faces. Standing in the yard, Lorraine


    asked in a lowered voice, “Are all these people really your neighbors?” That made L feel a little embarrassed because the tone of the man


    earlier didn’t sound like he was happy for her. Rather, he seemed a little like a bystander watching the show, and he still looked unconvinced


    even after Lorraineplimented her. As a quick-witted person, Lorraine could easily tell the meaning behind the looks of these people, and


    L could only open and close her mouth like a goldfish, speechless. From the expression on her face, Lorraine could already guess the


    answer, so she grinned while patting her shoulders without a word. Subsequently, Logan came out as well. Since he wasn’t drinking, it didn’t


    take him long to finish the meal too. Without shying away, he straightaway hugged L from behind aftering out. Already used to his


    ways, she smiled and snuggled into his arms. With a serene smile on her face, Lorrainemented, “You’ve tamed the demon king of our


    family.” “I’m more than willing to surrender,” Logan said, cing his chin on L’s shoulder. Taken aback, Lorraine shrugged and said, “You


    don’t have to be so cocky about it.” In response, L added, “Exactly. He’s getting more and more thick-skinned.” .
