Zach Stone could only retract his words, “Anyway, I’ve hacked the surveillance room over there for you, but it’s a good thing you were quick to warn me, otherwise, it might have been seen.”
Logan Brown nodded in response, “Yeah.”
Zach Stone was about to take the credit when there was a commotion outside the house, reminding him that it was time for Sophi to leave work, so he said, “Okay, I’m done.
With that, he hung up and went to find his wife.
Logan Brown heard the movement and guessed that he was in a hurry to hang up the phone for his wife.
Jacob drove ahead, glancing in the rear-view mirror. The man’s face was calm and unmoving, but for no apparent reason, his heart lifted.
At the villa, Elena Bush arrived in a hurry, and when she asked Mia if Logan Brown was back, she was so relieved that she didn’t dare to eat and went to her room.
When Logan Brown returned, he heard Mia say, “Madame has just returned and said she was tired, she’s been asleep.”
The man’s brow furrowed, “Asleep?”
Mia nodded after a moment’s hesitation, “I think she’s asleep, I knocked on the door earlier and there was no response, so I didn’t go in for fear of waking her up.”
“I know, you go back first and ask Jacob to take you back.”
“Eh!” Mia answered, but her uneasy eyes could not help but follow him, “Sir, madam went out today and came back without doing anything, you shouldn’t ……”
Faced with the worry in her mind, Logan Brown was full of helplessness, “Mia, do I look like I’m going to settle a score with her?”
At that, Mia looked up for a moment before she nodded evenly, “Since it’s okay, I’m relieved.”
“Hmm.”
Jacob listened to the two of them, and when he saw that Mia had almost finished packing, he silently went out to prepare the car, leaving Logan Brown alone in the large living room.
The man pushed open the door to the room, which was dark with the lights off and the curtains drawn.
Almost as soon as he leaned in, Logan Brown was aware of the little woman’s eyes closing nervously and the tightening of the covers.
A warm hand lifted and landed unmistakably on her face, “Still pretending to sleep?”
The little woman’s eyelashes fluttered and she pretended not to hear anything.
Logan Brown sighed helplessly and simply scooped her right out of bed, “Even if you really want to sleep, then you’ll have to eat something first.”
“Mmm.”
Elena Bush let out a muffled grunt and opened her eyes lazily, looking as if she had just been woken up.
A few low chuckles came from the man’s low, sexy voice, “Pretending so well, you almost fooled me.”
Elena Bush immediately bristled, “Not at all! I’m so sleepy, you woke me up, I blame you!”
Logan Brown patted her back kindly and soothingly, “Well, blame me.”
“Why don’t you even argue back?” She lifted her face, her little face slightly.
She had expected him to say more, but she didn’t think he’d just answer her words.
The man helplessly rubbed the tip of her nose, “I’m afraid you’ll be depressed again if I don’t comply with your words and answer.”
“……”
Elena Bush thought about it for a second and it seemed true, the look of depression on her small face deepened at that moment.
Logan Brown picked her up across the waist and headed out of the house regardless, “Whatever happens, don’t hide from me, and no skipping meals.”
The little woman lowered her eyes in a flash of guilt.
It wasn’t until she was placed at the table herself that she shrugged her head and spoke , “I’m sorry I made you worry again.”
“In that case, then don’t always do things that worry me.” The man’s sharp eyes shot up.
Elena Bush flinched slightly and clenched her lower lip.
Logan Brown helplessly got up and served two bowls of soup, one pushed in front of her, “Kent contacted me and you went to the Fords today, and I know it.”
“Ah!?”
The hand that had just picked up the spoon shook and the spoon fell into the bowl of soup at once.
“Well, that …… don’t …… be,” said the little woman, her face anxious, and seemingly at a loss as to where to begin.
“I know about the other house, too.”
“!!!”
Elena Bush tried violently to get up, only to have a pain come from the small of her abdomen, almost hurting the baby.
A flash of panic crossed Logan Brown’s face and he rushed forward to shield her.
“I’m fine.” She sat back down and caressed her belly, half-heartedly squeezing out a smile.
Looking at her pale face, the man’s brow tightened involuntarily, “You’re really not feeling well, go upstairs and rest first.”
Elena Bush didn’t care about this, her heart was all disturbed by his words, “What did Kent say to you?”
“Nothing more than the woman from the other house.”
“Really?”
Logan Brown didn’t answer, just sulked, “You’re being impulsive, do you think there are people up and down the Fords who don’t know you’ve been to the other house? Do you know that if Edward Ford found out about this, maybe he would ……”
Before the words were out of his mouth, he had already seen her dejected little face.
All his anger dissipated and he didn’t even think about telling her off.
Elena Bush bowed her head, “I knew you were going to say that, that’s why I didn’t tell you anything, it’s just that only one of the servants knew about my visit to the other house, and besides, she was afraid of punishment from Edward Ford, so she would have kept it to herself.”
“There are no absolutes in the world.”
She squeezed her palms, “So what would happen if he knew about …… it?”
That Claudia Garcia, would she be implicated in this?
“Wouldn’t know.” Logan Brown sighed softly, “I’m just telling you the consequences, don’t be reckless and think ahead before you take the next step, understand?”
“Why don’t you know?”
“I had Zach Stone destroy the surveillance, so even if Edward Ford wanted to check it, he wouldn’t know about it, and besides, that maid you were talking about wouldn’t be stupid enough to get herself killed.”
Surveillance!
That’s right, surveillance ……
Elena Bush suddenly felt a pang of fear that she had missed this and was unaware of it, and if Logan Brown hadn’t mentioned it, she might have waited until Edward Ford knew about it.
The thought of it sent a cold chill down her arms and legs.
She lifted her face, her starry eyes flashing in confusion, “I …… didn’t know, I didn’t think ……”
Logan Brown looked at her panicked look immediately calming her down, “The problem is solved now, so don’t think about it any more and don’t worry about it.”
