More Than A Favor

Chapter 12

Logan‘ eyes flickered with surprise as he turned to look at me. Soon, a flash of anger appeared in his deep gaze.

“Elaine, there’s a time and place for your stubbornness. Selene is-”

“I’m your fiancée,” I interrupted, cutting him off. Just saying those words made me feel utterly humiliated,

When I used to watch scenes like this on TV, I’d always think the female lead was too weak, that no man was worth such effort. But now that it was happening to me, I finally understood how it felt.

Selene is pregnant. I can’t let anything happen to her!” Logan insisted, taking a step back.

A few steps later, he turned completely and ran out the door.

In the end, between Selene and me, he didn’t choose me.

Sitting there, I watched him catch up to Selene outside. They struggled briefly until she clung to his clothes and collapsed into his arms.

I lowered my head. I couldn’t bear to look any longer.

Whether or not there was anything between them, his choice today gave me all the answers I needed about my wavering heart.

In the end, I barely ate a bite of that expensive meal, yet I still paid the three–thousand–dollar bill.

I didn’t go back to Mercer Estate. Instead, I went to Nora’s place.

“Have you really decided to break up?” Nora, my gynecologist friend, asked as she massaged my acupoints, relieving the torment of my menstrual

pain.

While she could heal my body, she couldn’t mend my heart.

“Yes,” I replied, sprawled on her bed, my face turned at an angle where she couldn’t see my reddened eyes.
