Chapter 1169


    Logan pped his thigh. “Let’s go to my ce instead of ordering takeout.”


    Pursing her lips, L nodded. “That’s a good idea.” It was the first time she was singing the same tune


    as him.


    Since John didn’t want to continue speaking of the topic earlier, he echoed, “Sure. Grandma, let’s go


    together.”


    Old Mrs. Constance deliberated for a moment before beaming. “Okay! I haven’t been to Logan’s ce


    either.”


    When the lot of them arrived at Logan’s clubhouse, a private room was already prepared for them.


    John and Sophia led Old Mrs. Constance in. On the other hand, Logan remained standing at the


    clubhouse entrance and took out a packet of cigarettes. After a brief contemtion, L didn’t follow


    the others in but retraced her steps and walked over to him. “Thank you for today.”


    With a cigarette in his mouth, Logan turned and looked at her, his gaze earnest and solemn. For some


    inexplicable reason, L abruptly recalled the hug he gave her earlier in that dpidated farmhouse


    after sprinting over to her. It was very warm and reassuring. Giving a soft cough, she asked, “Why are


    you looking at me like this? I’m thanking you.”


    The corners of his mouth lifting, Logan suddenly reached out and caressed her head. “But I don’t think I


    protected you all that well.”


    This time, L didn’t dodge. shing him a smile, she said, “You’ve already done very well. I believe


    that you’ll do even better in the future.”


    Logan sighed. “Alright, go on in first. I’ll join you in a while after smoking a cigarette.”


    Her lips pressed tightly, L stared at him for an eternity before muttering, “Idiot.” He actually didn’t


    grasp the meaning behind my remark! Sure enough, I can’t have too high an expectation toward this


    man’s brain!


    Logan arched a brow. What’s wrong with her?


    Whirling around, L went to the private room. In there, Sophia didn’t bring up the Baileys again.


    Rather, she asked about the current situation over at the ckwells, upon which Old Mrs. Constance


    heaved a sigh. “Everything is fine, but Fabian is rather worrying.”


    Sophia couldn’tment on Fabian’s matter. Sometimes, love canplete a person, but at times, it


    can also destroy a person. This isn’t something that can be rationalized. I’m sure he can’t help his


    dispirited condition now.


    At this time, L pushed open the door and walked in. Turning to look at her, Sophia smiled and


    beckoned to her to sit beside her. She was truly grateful to her considering the great risk she took for


    her sake on this day.


    L was all smiles as she sat down beside Sophia. “I’m truly feeling fine, so don’t worry. My body is


    conditioned to take all kinds of abuse.” Back when she went undercover, she’d been through everything


    except taking drugs. Her life had been always on the line, so this was considered nothing to her.


    In the dark about all that, Old Mrs. Constance lifted her eyes and looked at L. Truly, the more I look


    at her, the more I like her! After mulling it over for a while, she lowered voice and queried, “Are you

    dating the Jefferson kid now?”


    L froze, her expression turning a tad embarrassed. “N-No.”


    Mild exasperation flooded Sophia. “How could you be so direct, Grandma? Miss Hunt would be too


    mortified to answer since you were so blunt.”


    Bursting intoughter, Old Mrs. Constance pped her hands. “Ah, it’s my mistake! I asked the wrong


    question.” Subsequently, her tone changed. “Actually, Logan is quite a decent person. You might think


    that he’s bad-tempered, but it’s not his fault. After all, he’s been spoiled by his father and sisters all


    these years. Trust me, he’s not a bad person at heart. I’m quite a good judge of character after having


    lived for so many years.”
