Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1089

Lola then briefly spoke of her gym, explaining that it was mostly patronized by her former colleagues who wanted to support her business. Then, she also admitted to having frequent trouble, chiefly because she'd offended too many people in the past.

Speaking of this, Logan was somewhat shamefaced because he was also one of those who caused trouble. In the past, he actually had someone tailing her in secret. As long as she went to the gym, his men would then immediately go over and create a disturbance.

"Those people probably haven't gotten things straight for the time being. Things will be fine once they get their bearings," Old Mrs. Constance reassured with a chuckle.

Nodded, Logan echoed her sentiments. "They're not as enlightened as I am." After saying this, he blew his own trumpet, bringing up the fact that he stepped forward to help her resolve the issue when ruffians found fault with her. Thumping himself on the chest, he declared that he'd definitely keep her safe henceforth since he'd come forward to protect her the previous time.

Naturally, he was referring to protecting her during Ernest's birthday celebration, but the meaning became distorted in the ears of Old Mrs. Constance, William, and Matilda. Appearing slightly stunned, they all stole glances at Jasmine out of the corners of their eyes. His girlfriend is sitting right beside him, yet he dares to make such a public proclamation? Does this fella not value his life anymore?

Lola didn't think anything of it, not to mention Logan. Thus, Jasmine was probably the only person who was embarrassed. She naturally knew that he didn't mean it how the others took it, but she couldn't accept the current meaning itself even without a romantic notion. It seems that he truly lacks the self-consciousness a boyfriend should have, but it's also possible that he has truly been single for too long, as he says. Heaving an exasperated sigh, she retracted her gaze, deciding not to look at the other people's expressions anymore. Or else, it's a real possibility that I won't be able to stomach this meal.

Since the atmosphere wasn't particularly lively, dinner was over in a relatively short time. After eating, they again returned to the living room and sat down to chat.

Jasmine had actually lost all interest, glancing at the time frequently. However, Logan didn't notice it at all, still rambling on the topic of Lola. Most of his attention was on Lola, while the smidgen that remained was centered on Sophia.

Even Old Mrs. Constance found Logan's behavior amiss, so she rolled her eyes at him. "Why aren't you entertaining your girlfriend? Look, she's been sitting there without making a peep."

After giving the old lady a thoughtful look, Logan turned to look at Jasmine, his voice extremely placid. "There are no strangers here, so just speak your mind. You don't need to restrain yourself."

Look at this! Is he for real? After all, this is her first time here, so everyone here is considered a stranger to her. He's familiar with everyone here, but the same doesn't apply to her. She needs him to facilitate conversations, yet he's dumping all the problems at her feet, Old Mrs. Constance thought.

Accustomed to his flippant attitude, Jasmine said nothing, merely curving the corners of her mouth slightly to put on a standard smile.

Sophia couldn't be bothered to help her out anymore. After sitting there for a while, she lumbered to her feet, saying that she wanted to go and rest since she was feeling a tad tired.

Logan swiftly nodded. "Go, go. Hurry up and rest. It's not just you now, so it must feel heavy to have another being within you as well. You don't need to entertain us."

This person can add something considerate to the conversation no matter who speaks, but he just can't do it when it comes to his own girlfriend. He truly deserves to be taught a lesson! If Jasmine were a bit more hot-tempered, she might be able to straighten him up, but she's currently too mellow, Sophia lamented internally.
