Chapter 1189


    Shawn looked rather reluctant, but still, he dragged his feet over and said that he wanted to apologize


    to L.


    L was still standing in the house. Beside her, Logan chuckled. “Go on and see what he has to say.”


    Truthfully, L didn’t want to talk to Shawn. However, he then called out to her again, so she had no


    choice but to go out.


    Shawn’s expression was a tadplicated when he spotted her. Never had he imagined that the


    matter would be blown into pieces at her hands. In his opinion, her family was just average, so while


    she had friends in authority due to her former profession, he wasn’t at all afraid since all those people


    were bound by thew. He didn’t believe that he’d be on the losing end, nor did he believe that they’d


    surreptitiously make things difficult for him.


    However, never had it crossed his mind that Logan would be the variable in this. He didn’t take him


    seriously back then, but he’d been put in his ce today. Although he didn’t lose his job, he’d been


    stripped of his position. The higher-ups didn’t give him a specific reason, but they hinted that he’d


    offended someone he shouldn’t have offended, and they even urged him to settle the problem as soon


    as possible, else his days would be even worse.


    This ‘someone’ couldn’t be L, so after mulling it over, he concluded that it was Logan who warned


    him today. He initially thought that Logan was merely talking big, but unexpectedly, he truly had the


    ability to make life difficult for him.


    Shawn then cast his gaze into the house, but he didn’t see Logan. At this, rage consumed him. I’ve


    truly missed taking him into consideration! If only I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have pestered L for


    so long! He pressed his lips into a t line, only apologizing to her after an eternity.


    Then, he insisted that he didn’t mean anything, merely reluctant to break up with her since his feelings


    for her were real. It was actually no different from the contents of his ‘short essays’ in the past; other


    than the apology at the beginning, everything that followed was justification of his actions.


    Regret assailed L for havinge out, for she truly didn’t want to listen to this whole spiel. Thus,


    when he was going to continue expounding on his ‘short essay,’ she held up a hand to stop him. “You

    don’t need to say so much, Shawn. I’ve made myself clear to you. We’re indeed unsuited, and I’ve told


    you this. As long as you stop pestering me, we’ll go our separate ways.”


    After staring at her for a long while, Shawn finally nodded. “Okay, we’ll go our separate ways.”


    The two of them were very blunt, and the matter was seemingly cast in stone.


    L then whirled around and went back into the house. Meanwhile, Logan was still gazing out with a


    half-smile on his face. Mr. and Mrs. Long, on the other hand, were embarrassed at once. They were


    still holding gifts in their hands, wavering between keeping up the inane talk and turning around to


    leave.


    Noticing Mrs. Long’s unease, Mr. Hunt dered, “Take everything back, for we’re not going to ept


    them. Also, don’te here anymore. Just pretend that we’ve never been acquainted.”


    Mr. Long nodded. “Sure, sure, no problem.”


    Without putting down the gifts, the Longs turned around and left the courtyard. When they’d reached


    the gate, Mrs. Long’s mutterings drifted faintly into the air. However, she wasn’t cursing out the Hunts.


    Rather, she was castigating Mr. Long for his cowardice, iming that she’d been


    humiliated. Regardless, they asked for it!
