Noticing the teasing expression on Elysia’s face, Logan felt his own expression shift slightly. It was perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, and a faint pink flush appeared on his cheeks.

Elysia straightened in her seat, a gentle smile on her lips. “Elena is the goddess of our school; winning her over won’t be easy.”

“Why is it so hard?” Logan asked, genuinely curious.

At his question, Elysia’s smile grew. “Are you getting anxious, Logan?”

“N–no, I’m not,” he stammered, trying to sound confident.

“You haven’t fallen in love before, have you?” Elysia teased, her eyes sparkling.

Logan opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words. Admitting to Elysia that he had never been in a relationship felt rather embarrassing.

Elysia noticed the troubled look on his face and smiled softly, surprised that someone as carefree as Logan was actually inexperienced in romance.

As their car neared the Jackson residence, Elysia spotted the couple waiting by the door. Odalyn, wrapped in a jacket, looked worriedly at them.

Their faces brightened a bit as they saw the car pull into the driveway, and Odalyn rushed forward, opening Logan’s door. When she saw Elysia, her face broke into a relieved smile. “You finally made it back.”

However, her expression quickly turned serious when she noticed Logan in the car. “So, you remembered to come home? Who gave you the right to take Elysia out for a night of fun?”

Logan opened his mouth to defend himself, but Odalyn cut him off with a sharp breath, her brows furrowing in disapproval. “You had the nerve to take Elysia out for drinks?”

Just then, Berenger approached, wearing a serious look on his face. “You reckless boy. While your adventures might be forgiven, bringing Elysia along is unacceptable!”

Logan looked at his parents, feeling confused about whose child he really was. In the past, they never questioned him, no matter how late he got home. ‘Am I adopted?‘

Feeling the warmth of concern radiating from Berenger and Odalyn, Elysia’s heart swelled with gratitude. This family had given her so much love and affection.
