Chapter 1072


    It was a call from Jasmine. Logan didn’t avoid her either, taking the call right away. On the other end, Jasmine asked him out for dinner, her


    voice cheerful. Logically speaking, it stood to reason for them to have dinner tonight. After all, Logan gave her flowers at noon, so it was


    standard operation for a normal couple to have a date at night. However, since she’d waited for his phone call the entire day to no avail, she


    could only take the initiative to phone him.


    Logan’s brows unconsciously furrowed. “Tonight? I don’t think I can make it since I’m otherwise upied.”


    Jasmine paused for a heartbeat. “With a very urgent matter?”


    Logan grunted, “Yes. It’s a very urgent matter, so I can’t make it tonight.”


    Actually, it was rather obvious that Jasmine was a touch disappointed. Sighing lightly, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll leave you to it.


    We’ve got plenty of time, so we’ll just go out another time.”


    Without saying anything superfluous, Logan hung up in short order.

    L stole a nce at him out of the corner of her eye. Although there wasn’t a hint of guilt in his expression, she felt very much ill at ease.


    For some reason, she felt perturbed that he declined his girlfriend’s dinner invitation to have dinner with her instead. It feels as though I’m


    doing something wrong here.


    At longst, Logan’s car came to a stop in front of a private restaurant. The two of them entered together and went to a private room. After


    he’d ordered and the server had gone out, he turned his gaze on her.


    His expression was exceedingly solemn, making L feel unsettled all of a sudden. Thus, she blurted, “What exactly is the matter? Say


    something. What’s the meaning of you staring at me so intently?”


    Logan pursed his lips, his words seemingly stuck in his throat.


    At this, L guffawed. “What is it that you’d be reluctant to say?” Sighing soundlessly, Logan then briefly ryed everything John told him


    today. L instantly understood his meaning. “You want me to masquerade as Sophia during thetter half,” she reckoned. Logan grunted in


    affirmation. “I know this is quite a risk, so I’m merely asking. If you oppose—” “I don’t mind,” L agreed right away. She was a person


    who abhorred evil in nature, and her former profession was even more dangerous than this, yet she’d never once been afraid. However, there


    was something she just couldn’t figure out. “Why is the Bailey Family targeting Miss Gwendolyn?” It was a tad troublesome for Logan to


    exin this since John kept the matters regarding the Bailey Family under wraps during the meal they previously had. Thus, he really didn’t


    know how to exin everything about the Baileys now. Frowning, he considered for a while before demurring, “I’ll exin everything to you


    when the matter is resolved. At present, it’s just suspicion, so we’re not all that certain yet.


    ” L stared at him for a good while before nodding. “Alright, I trust you.” It was rare that she demonstrated trust in him, but Logan couldn’t


    muster up a shred of tion. He merely pressed his lips together tightly and gave her a half-smile. Thereafter, the food was served. While


    eating, neither spoke much. L merely asked him what she needed to prepare for the birthday celebration in the very beginning. However,


    Logan wasn’t sure about the details either, so he suggested meeting up with John some time to discuss the matter. They only exchanged a few


    words throughout the meal, so the rest of the time was spent in silence. During the meal, Jasmine sent Logan a message—a selfie of her eating
