The Returning Ex Chapter 1375

Just as Lola lay down on the bed, someone came. This time, it was the matchmaker who’d previously introduced Lola and Shawn. Logan loathed seeing her, so his brows knitted together when he saw her entering the courtyard.

Likewise, Mrs. Hunt was taken aback. “Why is she here?” As she said this, she made to go out, but Logan spoke and held her back. “I’ll go, Mom.” Mrs. Hunt was startled, but Logan then came out of the room and patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll go and see what she wants.”

Mr. Hunt chuckled. “Let him go. There are some things that would be inappropriate if they came from you, so let Logan talk to her.” Logan doesn’t mince his words no matter who he’s speaking to, especially when it’s someone he doesn’t like.

Pushing open the door, Logan went out and stopped the matchmaker at the courtyard. The matchmaker’s last name was Hayes, so some people outright addressed her as Broker Hayes considering her profession. The matchmaker didn’t care what others called her, for her only concern was whether she’d successfully broker a marriage for those she represented. In an occupation like hers, a successful marriage usually secured her a few grand in facilitation fees. Of course, if she managed to broker a marriage for a wealthy family, her facilitation fee would naturally increase accordingly.

Logan’s family was affluent, so his relatives were naturally rich as well. While Logan himself was married, he surely had some single relatives and friends. Thus, Broker Hayes’ goal was his friends. There were many beautiful girls in the village, and they all dolled up to attend Lola’s wedding back then, so there might be a few who caught the eye of some bachelors during the wedding. For that reason, she came over to make discreet inquiries.

Logan stood in the courtyard, having no plans of inviting her into the house. “Yes?”

Broker Hayes thought that he’d forgotten her, so she chortled. “Have you forgotten me, young man? We’ve met before.”

At this, Logan grunted. “How could I have forgotten you? Back then, you were extremely enthusiastic in matching my wife to someone else.”

Broker Hayes’ expression froze before she chuckled again. “You’re hilarious, young man. That was then, so it’s different. At that time, you hadn’t gotten together with Lola, and I didn’t know about your relationship with her. If I’d known, I never would’ve deliberately split the two of you up.”

Logan didn’t care whether she knew about it or not. Until now, he didn’t like Shawn, so the dislike naturally extended to the matchmaker. He stuck both hands into his pockets, his attitude languid. “So, why are you here this time?”

Broker Hayes peered into the house. “How long are you all staying? Are you going to stay a few days before leaving?”

Logan said nothing. To his ears, all these questions were simply bullsh*t.

Knowing that he put up with no nonsense, Broker Hayes gave a dry cough. After all, rich people usually aren’t to be trifled with. “I heard that your wedding was very grand back then. The young girls in the village chattered about it for more than half a month, complimenting your buddies on their handsome looks and gentlemanly demeanor. Many of them were charmed and flocked to me, but my hands were tied. Since I’m not acquainted with those friends of yours, I can’t broker an introduction.”

Upon hearing this much, Logan could more or less understand what she meant. Sneering, he declared, “I didn’t hear my buddies mentioning any girl. They merely told me that it was rather noisy that day with a gaggle of prattling ladies who acted as though they’d never seen the outside world.”

When his words reached her ears, Broker Hayes was rendered speechless.

Snorting, Logan then proclaimed, “Lola is the only decent one out of this entire village, yet you think this is truly a place overflowing with respectable ladies?”

Broker Hayes was an old hand, so how could she possibly fail to grasp his meaning? Nevertheless, she still forced a smile. “Some of the girls had indeed never seen the outside world, but we can’t deny that they’re respectable ladies.”

Logan gave a scornful snicker. “What has that got to do with me?” Subsequently, he frowned. “Also, I think you should reflect carefully on your judgment. Back then, you praised Shawn to the skies, but it turned out that he utilized his position to accept bribes. All things considered, this isn’t just a matter of character anymore.”
