Chapter 1274
Lola was a little tired, so it didn’t take her long to fall asleep after snuggling into his embrace. On the contrary, Logan kept his eyes wide open as he contemplated things before getting out of bed quietly, leaving her to sleep until it was almost evening.
Actually, she hadn’t had such carefree days for a long time. She didn’t have to think about anything; she could just eat when she was hungry and sleep when she was tired. There was really no need to be living the cool life at all.
When she woke up and realized that Logan was not by her side, she thought that he was just outside the room. So, she stayed in bed a little longer before jumping up when she saw that it was almost dinnertime.
However, Logan wasn’t in the living room, either. After searching around, she realized that he was nowhere to be found. Thus, she immediately gave him a call.
It took him a while before he picked up the call, and his voice sounded hushed. “You’re awake, Lola?”
“Yeah,” she muttered. “Where are you now?”
Chuckling, he answered, “I’m busy at the clubhouse now, but I’ll be done and coming back soon.”
Without thinking too much about it, she merely mentioned to him what dishes she would be preparing for dinner and asked if he liked them.
“I like anything you prepare,” he said in a sickeningly affectionate manner.
I knew that I shouldn’t have asked him, she thought. “Alright, I got it. Continue with your work and I’m going to cook dinner now.”
“Okay,” he replied and hung up.
From the fridge, Lola took out the ingredients which she would need and started to get busy. Since she was in a good mood, she prepared the meal slowly and it took her almost an hour to finish. As it turned out, Logan was still not home even after an hour of cooking.
Setting out the table, she frowned and gave him another call.
This time, he was just as slow as he was to pick up the call earlier, and he sounded a little out of breath when he answered. “Lola.”
“Why aren’t you back yet?” she asked directly. “Where are you now? And what are you doing?”
Logan burst into laughter.
“Just listen to how you’re speaking. Why? You still don’t trust me yet?” It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, but her instincts told her that he was hiding something from her. “I’m still at the clubhouse, but I’ll be going back soon. Don’t wait for me and just take your dinner first. I’m almost done here,” he said. Pursing her lips as she considered her options, Lola then hung up, but she quickly whirled around, grabbed her
jacket and headed out. It was easy to get a cab in this area. Simply by waving her hand, she managed to stop a cab. Then, she hopped into the car and went straight to Logan’s clubhouse. The clubhouse was already open for business at this time, and a waiter was at the door. Hopping off the cab, she headed for the entrance directly in brisk steps. As the waiter knew who she was, he greeted her when he saw her coming toward him. “Mrs. Jefferson, why are you here alone?” he asked, and stretched his neck to look behind her.
Lola instantly understood the meaning behind his gesture—Logan was not here at all. Pressing her lips into a grim line, she stopped in her tracks and said, “I’m just passing by, so I came to take a look.” “Did Young Master Jefferson send you here to check on us?” he asked, appearing rather relaxed in front of her. “Don’t worry. We’re all doing our job well even though he’s not here for the past couple of days.” She flashed him a smile and nodded, not intending to continue the small talk. “I’ll leave you to your job then,” she said before turning to face the street and extending her arm to stop another cab. A car stopped and she opened the door. However, she took two deep breaths before hopping in. For some unknown reason, her hands were trembling. .
