Chapter 11

The next morning, both Hope and Logan returned home. They readied to head to Logan’s grandfather’s house after having their breakfast. Hope had her head leaning against the window of the car while Logan was busy on a call with his secretary, Paul.

As he disconnected the call and placed the phone beside him in the phone’s space, he gazed at Hope. “Why are you gloomy?” Logan inquired her.

“I almost died yesterday,” Hope stated.

“Are you scared now?” Logan placed his head on the headrest.

“No. I wonder why I am that hateful,” Hope murmured. “What did I do wrong to him except love him?” Her eyes were darted at her hands, which were on his lap.

“You still love him,” Logan arched his eyebrow at her.

Hope met his gaze and shook her head. “I don’t, but it hurts when I think all that,” she admitted truthfully. She then chuckled. “Why did I even tell you this? You don’t do love, so you don’t understand love,” Hope remarked.

“Let’s get into business,” Logan stated.

“Business?” Hope looked puzzled.

“If Grandpa asks you how we met, you must tell him that you saw me in a cafe and ended up asking me out. Grandpa must not be aware of my deal with your bastard father, so keep it in mind not to tell him,” Logan explained to him.

“You want me to lie to your grandpa,” Hope opined.
