    Logan hung up the call and turned around only to see Hope seated at bed.


    “Did you get any message from my father?” Hope inquired.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    “Why would | get message from him?” Logan arched his eyebrows in bewilderment. He approached her and slid his hands into


    his pocket. “Speak what''s in your mind,” he stated.


    “Did you threaten Ka that you would bring a doom to them?” Hope raised her head to look at him.


    “| did,” Logan admitted. “Did Kasper beg you to plead with me not to do so?” He inquired.


    “Yes,” Hope answered. “But don’t show mercy on them,” she requested.


    Logan was amused to hear her answer. “So, you want me to punish them,” he remarked.


    “Yes. Also, thank you for saving my life. | know | have said that already, but | feel | should say this again, Hope asserted with a


    smile. She lowered her head and continued, “I was wrong when | said you were worse than Daniel. At least, you are real in front


    of me. You say everything to my face and don’t keep me in illusion.”


    Logan pulled her face up by holding her chin and the two looked into each other’s eyes. “Till the moment you are wife, no one


    can harm you. So, live proudly and fearlessly till that time,” he stated. As he withdrew his fingers from her chin, she held his


    hand.


    “| may look desperate to you, but do you truly think I can live without my child? Also, when our child will grow up, he/she may ask


    for me. | am betrayed in love, but my mom gave me this name because she wanted me to keep hope even in the toughest


    moments of my life, Hope exined while showing him a positive aspect of their rtionship.


    “Can you not fall in love with me? | mean it’s not wrong to love. Daniel did wrong to me, but through you | learned that good men


    also exist,” she proimed.


    Logan pulled his hand away. “I don’t want to love you. If you wish to fall in love with


    me, then it is not my fault,” he proci. His voice was cold and rude.


    Hope didn’t feel upset to hear his words. “Aunt Victoria said you had a lover. Do you still love her?” she asked.


    “Yes, | do. And now, don’t ever ask anything about my past. | don’t like to talk about it,” Logan asserted and walked away from


    the room.


    Hope jolted as Logan mmed the door hard. She realized she made a mistake by talking about it. She gazed at the time on her


    phone and found it was still eleven in the morning.


    Suddenly, her phone rang and she saw the name of Daniel shing on it. She cut his call, but he called her again. Getting


    irritated, Hope switched off her phone and thought to go outside.


    But as she opened the door, Logan appeared in front of her. “Do you want something?” Hope queried.


    Logan walked past her and grasped her hand to take her inside. “Grandpa wants to organize a reception for us and he wants


    your family toe,” he stated.


    “What?” Hope got worried because if her family came they would definitely turn everything wrong and speak against her favor.


    They would not even hesitate to lie about her.


    “I''ll talk to Kasper and handle that,” Logan said.


    “Dad doesn’t like me.”


    Logan found how fearful Hope’s eyes appeared and he wondered if lying to his grandfather would be good. “Then, | won''t invite


    them. Instead, | will tell truth to my grandfather.” He believed that if truth came outter, his uncles and aunts might use it.


    against him. So, it was better to reveal them beforehand to avoid any trouble.


    Hope did not say anything since she liked Logan’s decision. Lying to Grandpa William didn’t feel good to her.


    “When will be the reception?” Hope inquired.


    “This Friday,” Logan replied.


    They heard a knock on the door. Logan opened it and saw the maid calling them for lunch. He gazed at Hope and asked her to


    follow him.


    At the dining table, only William and those two were present. He noticed how Hope’s eyes searching for more people from the


    family. The others are at work. Victoria and Fred went outside earlier,” he stated. Signaling the butler, the maids stepped up and


    served the meals to them.


    Such a regal treatment was new for Hope. She thanked the maid, who served her while Logan nced at her in amusement. He


    realized he didn’t have meals with Hope before. This was his first time sitting together with her for the meals.


    “Mmm... It''s delicious,” Hope said as she gave the thumbs up to the butler and the

    maids. They smiled to see her reaction while William felt happy too.


    “Hope has a charming personality,” Williammented. “You should eat more,” he added.


    “Yes, Grandpa, Hope replied.


    While they were eating. Logan said he needed privacy. The butler walked away with the maids, giving them privacy for the


    conversation.


    “What happened?” William asked.


    “Hope''s family isn’t that good. | don’t want them to be present in the reception. They always treated her badly.” Logan stated. He


    kept the majority of the details hidden from his grandfather. But he made sure to make him aware of the Hope’s family.


    “Hmm. Then, we should not invite them.” William agreed with the suggestion of his grandson.


    Hope wondered whether William had no more questions from them. She silently ate when William asked her what she wanted to


    do after finishing the college.


    “| will work in apany,” Hope replied.


    “You don’t need to work anywhere. Logan will teach you the work and you can work in the Moore Group,” William asserted.


    “Sure, Grandpa,” Logan said with a smile.


    Hope had a doubt that Logan would teach her anything. He already told her to leave his. life after giving him the child. Thinking


    all this, Hope''s heart sank and she felt if it would be easy for her.
