Considering that he sounded considerably loud, Logan figured that Lola was already asleep, since there was no

reply.

Sitting on his bed, he rolled his shoulders for a bit. Honestly, he didn’t mean to come back this late, 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, Lola didn’t manage to get proper sleep, and she woke up rather early the next day.

Opening the door, Lola took a quick glance at the living hall, and noticed that Logan was already up. Standing in the

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

The moment Logan saw that Lola was awake, he walked out of the kitchen hurriedly. “Lola, 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 Lola 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, Lola 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 placed 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, Lola 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 well last night?”

Backing off a little, Lola 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, Lola turned and walked to the washroom, while Logan returned to the kitchen.

Standing before the sink, Lola 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 relationship had managed to take a toll on her—physically, emotionally and mentally. Seriously,

relationships 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 placed the

cloth over her face, and let it settle for a moment. No longer to keep her cool, Lola 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, “Lola, are you done? Come over for breakfast.” With her mouth set

in a grim line, Lola 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 Lola 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, Lola 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, Lola didn’t plan 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 Lola, 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, Lola said sarcastically, “You sure

are energetic for being able to stay busy for that long.” .
