Chapter 1277


    Considering that he sounded considerably loud, Logan figured that L was already asleep, since


    there was no reply.


    Sitting on his bed, he rolled his shoulders for a bit. Honestly, he didn’t mean toe back thiste, as


    he really was caught up with something.


    Letting out a heavy sigh, Logan felt a little disappointed inside, but in the end, he drifted off to sleep.


    Throughout the night, L didn’t manage to get proper sleep, and she woke up rather early the next


    day.


    Opening the door, L took a quick nce at the living hall, and noticed that Logan was already up.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Standing in the kitchen on his own, he was seen reheating the leftovers from the previous day.


    The moment Logan saw that L was awake, he walked out of the kitchen hurriedly. “L, you’re up.


    Go get yourself a quick wash while I get the food ready. Once we’re done eating, I’ll send you to work.”


    Admittedly, Logan had always been nice to her. Perhaps L was being exceptionally paranoid, but


    she felt that Logan was trying too hard to please her.


    When a person was being this eager, she couldn’t help but deduce that Logan was acting out of a guilty


    conscience.


    With that assumption in mind, L felt miserable inside, so much so that it was shown on her face.


    Gazing at her for a while, Logan slowly walked toward her and ced his hand over her forehead. “No


    fever though.”


    Thinking that his hands might not be able to get a good temperature measurement, he leaned closer


    toward her, trying to stick his forehead to hers.


    Seeing that, L intended to move a step back, but Logan reached out his hand and held her head


    from the back. “Stay still,” he ordered.


    After leaning his forehead against hers, Logan heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s no fever for sure, but


    why is your face so pale? Didn’t you sleep wellst night?”


    Backing off a little, L nodded. “Yes, I didn’t have a good sleep.”


    Running his hands through her hair, Logan said, “You poor thing. Why couldn’t you rest well?”


    Without replying, L turned and walked to the washroom, while Logan returned to the kitchen.


    Standing before the sink, L stared at herself in the mirror. She had to admit that she did look awful.


    Back when she was investigating a criminal case, she would often need to work around the clock. Then


    again, she recalled that her condition back then was simply not as bad as it was now.


    It seemed like her rtionship had managed to take a toll on her—physically, emotionally and


    mentally. Seriously, rtionships shouldn’t be taken lightly, she thought to herself.


    Turning the tap on, she brushed her teeth. She got even more annoyed while washing her face.


    In the end, she wiped her cheeks with a face cloth. She ced the cloth over her face, and let it settle


    for a moment. No longer to keep her cool, L vented her anger by grabbing the face cloth and flinging


    it into the sink.


    On the other hand, Logan had no clue about what was going through her head. After heating up the


    leftovers, he called, “L, are you done? Come over for breakfast.”


    With her mouth set in a grim line, L tried hard to swallow down her frustrations.


    As soon as she sat at the dining table, she pulled a long face.


    After Logan was done setting up the table, he gazed at L and smiled warmly.


    Raking his fingers through her hair, Logan helped to tidy up the stray strands. “Have you forgotten to


    brush your hair? ”


    Tilting her head to avoid his touch, L asked, “Are you heading to the clubhouse again? I guess you


    have not settled everything yesterday?”


    “Oh, everything’s settled at the clubhouse, so there’s nothing urgent at the moment,” Logan replied.


    Nodding, L didn’t n to ask further initially, but she failed to hold her tongue. “About yesterday,


    what time did you leave the house? I fell asleep, so I didn’t notice when you left. Were you in the


    clubhouse the whole afternoon?”


    Unable to notice anything unusual with L, Logan continued to make up his story. “Yeap, I received a


    phone call after you slept yesterday. Initially, I thought everything could be settled on time, but I didn’t


    foresee it to take longer than expected.”


    With a snort, L said sarcastically, “You sure are energetic for being able to stay busy for that long.”
