Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 969

"Come here!" Nadine beckoned Lisa over and began introducing her to Joelle. "You two are the same age, but Lisa, you should properly address her as Aunt Joelle, understand?"

Joelle's face had been flushed the whole time. "No need, she can just call me Jojo."

As she spoke, she nervously tugged on Logan. He chimed in, "Our family values respect for hierarchy and proper etiquette above all else."

What did he mean by "respect for hierarchy"?

Was he just trying to get Lisa to call Joelle "Aunt Joelle"?

Why was he in such a hurry to make things official with Joelle? Was he worried she had feelings for him, or was he afraid Joelle might misunderstand their relationship?

Despite her maturity, she couldn't help but entertain a childish notion at that moment.

This thought made her feel defiant. Since Logan wanted her to address Joelle that, she would. "Aunt Joelle."

Joelle's face turned even redder. "You don't need to. Just call me Jojo."

"I should address you properly, and it's not for nothing. As an elder, it's customary for you to give me a gift for my respect." Her words left everyone stunned.

Nadine was the first to react, tapping Lisa's hand. "Liz, really... We're the one who should give Jojo a little something as a welcome gift."

"That's you guys. You're the elders. I am not. Since I'm the one showing respect by addressing her as Aunt Joelle, don't you think she owes me something in return?" Lisa said, looking at Logan. "Right, Uncle Logan?"

"Yes, that's right," he replied, taking out his phone. "I'll transfer it to you."

Their gazes met. As his fingers danced across his phone, Lisa checked her phone and saw a notification. She received a transfer from him—999 dollars, with a note that read: "Acknowledgment gift".

Lisa didn't care what it was for. She simply accepted the transfer without hesitation and flashed Joelle a sweet smile. "Thank you, Aunt Joelle."

"N-no need, I..." She had Joelle all flustered.

Logan's protective tone voice echoed, "She's my niece. If she calls you that, just go with it. No need to feel embarrassed."
