Chapter 32
The familiar gentle and soothing voice made every part of me feel relaxed.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I looked up in surprise–Logan was here.
Meanwhile, Elijah’s expression darkened the moment he saw him.
He strode over and stared at Logan. “Mr. Wood, did you arrange for my wife to take these check–ups?”
Logan nodded. “Yes, I did. Is there a problem?”
Elijah said coldly and sarcastically, “You’re so considerate, Mr. Wood. I suppose I should thank you.”
Logan responded casually, “There’s no need to thank me.” He then approached my ward and said, ” Everything’s taken care of. Let’s go.”
I immediately packed my things and prepared to leave with him.
However, Elijah blocked the way once again, He carried himself with determination and was unwilling to back down.
He coldly said, “That’s enough, Mr. Wood. Ariana is my wife, and I’m her husband. I’m taking her home. now.” His gaze was locked on Logan. “If you cross the line, I’ll call the police.”
Call the police?
I drew in a sharp breath.
Teri watched with great interest from the side. “Elijah, you truly are something else. Call the police, huh? What are you trying to do? Force Ari to leave with you? Are you trying to abuse her and unleash your anger on her again?”
She patted on the medical report. “We could easily press charges for domestic violence with the injuries she’s sustained.”
Elijah seemed to regain his senses upon hearing her words. However, he ignored Teri’s taunts, and instead, he looked at me before glancing at Logan.
But I didn’t care to guess what he was thinking. After packing my things, I turned to Logan and said, ” Logan, let’s go.”
Logan smiled faintly. “Mr. Linden, there’s no need to escalate things.”
Elijah’s voice was cold. “Let Ariana come home with me then.”
Logan glanced at him for a couple of seconds more before saying, “Mr. Linden, you might as well call the police.”
Elijah was furious. “You!”
But Logan ignored him and simply turned to me and said. “Today’s results were good.” He then looked at the time and said to Teri, “This must be your friend. Would you both do me the honor of joining me for a meal? It’s about time for dinner.”
Teri’s face lit up. A handsome guy like Logan had just invited her for dinner, after all.
She quickly urged me to get going.
Meanwhile, Elijah was completely sidelined. He couldn’t even find a chance to speak even after several attempts.
I couldn’t help but glance back at him as Logan led me and Teri out.
Elijah’s handsome
face was ashen, and his gaze at me was intense.
I couldn’t help but feel a shiver down my spine as I quickly took Teri’s hand and left.
“Mr. Linden, you might as well call the police. Hahaha… Teri animatedly mimicked Logan’s way of speaking.
I quickly tugged at her arm.
We had just finished our meal, and Logan had gone to fetch the car. Now, Teri and I were waiting for him outside the restaurant.
The restaurant was a century–old establishment in Halton City.
It was quite famous, and I was quite familiar with it. My parents used to bring me and my brother here when we were young. However, we stopped coming for various reasons after that.
I never expected that Logan would take me and Teri here today. He had even reserved a private room with a beautiful view.
It was a pleasant and peaceful dinner.
