Logan Brown made an inviting gesture with a slight hook of his lips, “In that case, there will be no need to see you off, Mr. Ford take care.”
“Hmph!”
Edward Ford waved his sleeves away and walked out of the office door only to see his assistant standing there dumbfounded, his anger rising again, “Idiot, aren’t you going to leave and wait for the others to see the joke?”
The assistant woke up and hurriedly took her eyes off Elena Bush and quickly followed her.
Logan Brown saw this and pinched the young girl’s cheek with some Jealousy.
Elena Bush ate the pain and immediately turned her face away, “What for?”
The little woman’s brow furrowed slightly and she couldn’t help but laugh a little at the man’s slightly displeased look, “Mr. Brown, what have I done to piss you off again.”
“You think so?” He gazed at her, throwing the question back at him in turn.
Elena Bush blinked at her innocently, “Nonsense, what did I do wrong, I don’t seem to have done anything at all.”
And then he snapped.
With that in mind, Elena Bush felt as innocent as the assistant .
No!
Elena Bush remembered something as an afterthought and looked suspiciously at the unhappy looking man, “Logan Brown, you’re not jealous, are you?”
“You think so?” He raised an eyebrow, the implication of which was very clear.
Elena Bush bristled, unable to stop herself from speaking sarcastically, “Mr. Brown, you’re not too small-minded, are you? It’s the smallest thing you can remember ……”
Logan Brown couldn’t deny it and gave her a quick kiss on the red lips when she wasn’t looking, “I’m always petty when it comes to you.”
Plus, he wasn’t willing to let another man look at her more than once.
Elena Bush couldn’t help but get even more depressed at his words, “You’re a …… man.”
The man laughed lowly, directly ignoring the depressed look on her face lifting his hand and rubbing it in reminder, “The meal is getting cold because of this unexpected guest, what should we do now?”
“…… I’ll go and heat it up for you.” Elena Bush said capriciously.
Logan Brown immediately intercepted her movement pressing her back down on the couch, “Just cut me some slack and stay put, I’ll go.”
“Yeah.”
She nodded and sat back in her seat reassuringly.
Logan Brown left with the thermos, Jacob following close behind.
In the pantry, the man skillfully heated the meal in the microwave and turned around, Jacob was behind him as expected, the two looked at each other and a cool voice was the first to come out, “Edward Ford must be heading back to the Fords now if he’s left KL, have the people arranged at the Fords keep an eye on him and see What reactions and moves he makes.”
Jacob, naturally aware, nodded, “Yes, I’ll be in touch.”
Logan Brown leaned his towering body against the fridge, “And I want to know exactly where Claudia Garcia went after she left the country.”
“Don’t worry, her parents are always followed by our people, so there’s peace of mind that this Claudia Garcia, so far, is no different, and has a high level of motivation.”
“A high heart is not a big deal, it’s only …… that I’m afraid of.”
The man kept his suspicions to himself, it was someone Elena Bush was trying to help and he would do so no matter what.
Jacob smiled easily and reassured, “Sir, don’t worry, I’ve been in contact with Miss Garcia, so I can see that there is a reason for her ladyship to help her.”
There was a timely ‘ding’ from the microwave and Logan Brown acted as if nothing had happened and went straight back to his office with the thermos.
When Elena Bush saw Logan Brown again, she got up to help, but Logan Brown gave her a look that stopped her in her tracks, “Stay put.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Elena Bush nodded repeatedly and dutifully sat back down, “I’ve found that people say that the longer you spend with someone, the more they become like a steward, and now they really aren’t wrong at all.”
Logan Brown put the thermos away and was met with the little woman’s red lips pouting out of discontent, making him rise up in playfulness.
“What? That look, are you waiting for me to kiss you?”
“No, I’m not!” Elena Bush retorted immediately, propping her chin up on her hands as she watched him eat slowly and deliberately, “I wonder how Claudia Garcia is doing now.”
Logan Brown lost his smile helplessly, “Instead of worrying about her, you should be more concerned about me in front of you.”
Elena Bush gave him a sidelong glance, “Don’t you always think I’m in the way? What’s the point of me worrying about you, it’s not like I can help you.”
Knowing that she was being mean, Logan Brown didn’t retort.
Elena Bush stared at him for a moment and suddenly became a little worried, “I don’t suppose Edward Ford is that quick to suspect you of sending Claudia Garcia away, is he?”
For some reason, the thought of Edward Ford’s remarks, coupled with Claudia Garcia’s, had always disturbed her.
“No.” The man soothed, unhurried.
Elena Bush looked dubious, “Really?”
Logan Brown put down his chopsticks and in a moment had finished all the food that had been brought to him, “Is this because you don’t believe me, madam?”
“Not at all.” Elena Bush immediately retorted, “I’m just worried.”
Logan Brown sighed helplessly and got up to sit beside her, rubbing the top of her head fiercely, “Worrying about things like that is none of your business.”
“Why?” She wondered.
A large, generous hand fell to caress the small of her back and the man’s gaze was gentle, “Because naturally the most important thing for you is to take good care of our child, isn’t it?”
Elena Bush nodded, only to quickly toss her head again, her hand unconsciously clasping his movements and her face swishing down.
Logan Brown sensed that something was wrong with her, “What?”
“I just remembered now that Edward Ford has been talking about the end of the month and even thinking about taking me away before the end of the month, why on earth?”
If he wanted to take her away, he could have convinced her in a better way, or he could have used time to get her to drop her guard, but his goal seemed to have been obvious, mentioning the same time from before to now.
“It’s just a time, don’t worry too much.”
The man gently enveloped her in his arms, dispelling all the unease in her mind.
“Then why the end of the month?”
“Maybe something came up in G, so he had to go.”
Logan Brown knew in his heart that Edward Ford wanted to take her away before the baby was born, but he knew in his heart that was why he couldn’t say anything, let alone dare!
Elena Bush blinked in his arms and did not answer.
