Chapter 1070
Very much surprised, Lola trotted out. Meanwhile, Logan remained sitting in the car with the carwindow wound down. Running over, Lola demanded impatiently, “What is it now? I’m busy at themoment.” novelbin
Taking the two wrapped stalks of roses in the passenger seat, Logan handed them to her. “Here, foryou.”
Lola stared at the two stalks of roses in stunned astonishment. “Why are you giving me this?”
At this, Logan chuckled. His voice tinged with a hint of mockery, he explained, “You told me that youdidn’t receive any flowers while out on a date with your boyfriend, so I came over to console you, afraidthat you’re saddened.”
Lola merely gaped at him without saying a single word.
Upon seeing this, Logan swung open the car door and alighted from the car before stuffing the flowersinto her hand. “Take this, you poor thing. It’s just two stalks of flowers, so it’s nothing to me.” Aftersaying that, he slipped back into the car and turned to her, urging, “Don’t be too touched. It’s mainlybecause I pity you.” Having said that, he wound the car window up. Then, he started the car and droveoff.
Lola was a tad bewildered at his sudden gift of flowers. While it was merely two stalks of flowers andseemed exceedingly perfunctory, she felt very awkward for some inexplicable reason. To date, she’dnever received flowers from someone of the opposite sex. When the man from the blind date came toseek her out and they went out for lunch, they walked past a florist just after exiting the restaurant.
However, her mind never went there, and the man didn’t notice it either. Actually, she wasn’t all thatbothered whether he gave her flowers. Nevertheless, it was definitely better than nothing. Holding thetwo stalks of exquisitely wrapped roses, she lifted her head and gazed in the direction where Logan’scar had disappeared, wondering what he meant by this.
Logan, on the other hand, felt gratified all of a sudden though he couldn’t quite explain the feeling.Anyhow, he felt as though he’d regained his dignity before her; it felt truly blissful and rendered him allrelaxed. After that, he drove back to the clubhouse. For the entire afternoon, energy sizzled through hisveins.
In the evening, he received a call from John who said the Baileys had called Sophia twice, inviting herto Ernest’s upcoming birthday celebration. Sophia’s relationship with the Bailey Family was already wellpast bad to downright hostile, so it was clear as day that the Baileys had an ulterior motive in theirenthusiasm to have her attend. John then expounded that Sophia had declined once, but Isabellecalled a second time whereupon Elder Mr. Bailey took his turn as well, both of them taking turns inpersuading her, insisting on her attendance.
Logan’s eyes widened upon hearing this. “She definitely can’t go! That old geezer probably has a trapin place to harm Sophia!”
John grunted in agreement yet lamented, “I initially didn’t want Sophia to take the risk either, but I alsothink that the Baileys might show their hand if she were to make an appearance. So, it’ll be a goldenopportunity to tip their hand.”
That was the matter of fact. Logan also understood that using Sophia as bait was their best bet to lurethe Baileys out. The investigation regarding the shadow bank was wrapping up recently, but it was truly
a real bear to implicate the Bailey Family. Without them making any major move, it’d be difficult to bringthem down in a short time. Thus, Sophia was considered the point of breakthrough.
