Chapter 1208
Logan wore a sullen look while staring at his father. “I won’t visit you ever again if you’re going to be like this.”
However, the old man bit back ferociously, “I’ll have Lorraine go after you if you do that.”
Geez, must he go so far as to do that? Logan fell silent while pursing his lips.
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Jefferson could guess that he was feeling upset over his love life, as nobody could possibly make him feel defeated unless it had something to do with romance. Thus, he asked, “What’s the matter? Did something happen between you and your girlfriend?”
All Logan did was sigh in response while wearing a crestfallen look as if having lost the will to live. Old Mr. Jefferson gave him a pat on the shoulder before he asked, “Kiddo, I have a question for you. Which stage is your relationship at?”
Which stage? Logan was startled by the sudden question, though he thought about it carefully nonetheless, but was soon all riled up. Well, I suppose we haven’t gotten anywhere since I never even got to hold Lola’s hand! All I managed to do was hug her from behind after sneaking up on her, but she chased me out of the kitchen after that. He dared not even tell his old man that, as the latter would definitely mock him, so he stubbornly kept his silence while pursing his lips.
However, Old Mr. Jefferson seemed to have misconstrued his silence, as he asked in a low voice after approaching Logan, “Have you moved in together?”
Move in together? What is he even talking about? Logan glared at his old man, which tipped the latter off as to what the answer to his query was.
Sulking, Old Mr. Jefferson chided Logan with disdain, “Look at you, you poor, useless sod!”
Truth be told, Logan couldn’t agree more, as he felt like a useless b*stard for not being able to conquer Lola. Sitting on the sofa, he clenched his fists. However, Old Mr.
Jefferson didn’t notice the expression Logan wore, thus continued without a care in the world, “Considering that you used to be such an arrogant prick, I couldn’t help but look down on you now that a woman has wiped the floor with you.” The old man got to meet Lola when she dropped by last time, whom he deemed to be a gentle girl. Smacking his lips, he chided, “If the time spent on working against me you used to court her, you probably would’ve married her by now!” Rolling his eyes at his old man, Logan bit back, “Stop being a backseat driver! Don’t you dare compare me with you when you know nothing of our situation.” Old Mr. Jefferson frowned upon hearing what he said. “Did you think your mother was an easy catch? I was poor back then! My family was dirt poor, so your mother’s family didn’t approve of me! I got to marry her because I begged them on my knees shamelessly!” Blinking, Logan figured he might be in a similar predicament of being looked down on by Lola’s family. He recalled the knowing glance that Lola’s father cast him before leaving; it was a sophisticated glance that left
Logan feeling extremely uneasy. Old Mr. Jefferson gave him a pat on the shoulder. “It’s normal to be looked down on by your girlfriend’s family, as you are potentially the one who would rob them of their daughter who they spent so much effort in raising. Instead of feeling unconfident or having a bruised ego, you have to acknowledge the situation as being normal. After that, all you have to do is march forward unabashedly, and everything will be alright.” After hearing what his old man told him, Logan seemed to have regained some confidence. Therefore, he stood up while saying, “Alright, I get it now. I’ll go ahead and do whatever I need to immediately.”
