The cab driver asked for her destination, but she couldn’t tell him the address for a moment. She had cracked

many cases before and knew that once a man started to lie, that was the point when he started to misbehave.

Many things passed through her mind. Maybe Logan had accumulated too much frustration after spending a period

of time with her and went out to release the pent-up feelings because he simply couldn’t take it anymore.

Logan had never lied to her before, and he wasn’t a liar based on his personality either. Despite that, he was

obviously lying to her now.

Holding her face in her palms, she slowly sank lower into the seat. Upon seeing this, the driver didn’t urge her, but

started driving away steadily instead.

A few minutes later, he asked, “Are you okay, miss?”

Lola didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally, she wiped her face with her palms; there were no tears, but her

expression was incredibly sad.

Taking a deep breath, she told him, “I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong.”

Then, she told him the address. In the end, she still chose to return home.

On the way home, she thought about many things.

Just earlier, Logan had been to meet her family. If they really made a mistake at this time, it would turn out to be a

huge joke, and right now, she felt that she was caught in a dilemma.

If she were to break up with Logan just like this, her family would become the laughing stock of the town and she

couldn’t even begin to imagine how they would be mocked.

An ordinary girl like her dated a rich man, but she didn’t manage to seal the deal to become an enviable, rich young

lady.

At the same time, she couldn’t bring herself to tolerate this either. This wasn’t an issue which could be forgotten

with an apology and a bridal price of a few million.

Turning her head to look out the window, she saw that night had fallen and the colorful night life was about to

begin. He must have really liked this lifestyle back then, she thought gloomily. Logan was a restless person to begin

with, so it was already considered remarkable that he was able to stay obediently by her side for such a long time.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Hence, she chose to close her eyes until she was

home, and she went up the building in faltering steps. The minute she opened the door, Logan’s voice was heard.

“Where did you go? You were not home when I came back.” Lola froze on the spot as she watched him pacing

toward her from the living room. The whole time, she kept her eyes fixed on him as she scanned him from head to

toe. He was still in his clothes from the morning, and despite looking a little worn out, a small glimmer of

excitement could still be seen in his eyes. Realizing that there was something amiss from her expression, he placed

a hand on her face and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you unwell? Where did you go earlier? I was about to call you,

but you came home.” Avoiding his touch slightly, she then stepped into the house, saying, “I sat downstairs for a

while after taking out the trash. I didn’t notice that you’re back.” Immediately after that, she asked, “Where did you

go in the afternoon? Why are you back so late?” Trodding behind her, he chuckled and answered, “There was

something to do at the clubhouse, so I went to take care of it.” As though worried that she wouldn’t believe him, he

added, “I haven’t been there for the past few days, and there are some things which needed my attention, so I was

busy until now.” Lola felt her stab in her heart; the fact that she was asking him again was her way of giving him

another chance, but he still decided to tell her a weak lie. Obviously, the staff at the clubhouse were not in cahoots

with him because their statements were not even matching; just a little prodding was enough for the lie to be

exposed. She paced over to sit at the dining table and took a few deep breaths to prevent herself from telling him

that she was at the clubhouse earlier. The habit from her previous job taught her to calm herself down before

getting a hold on any substantive evidence.
