Elena Bush was stunned to hear that, “Edward Ford is still looking for her?”
She had thought that according to Edward Ford’s mentality, even if he didn’t see Claudia Garcia anymore, he would forget about it in a day or two, after all, it was only Joanna Lake’s double, but she didn’t expect him to stop after going to such lengths without any news, but to become even more obsessed.
Logan Brown nodded, and Elena Bush’s concern grew, “That’s not a good sign.”
She was afraid that Edward Ford would do something unimaginable if he was pushed, and her face scrunched up in a frown.
Logan Brown lifted his hand to smooth the worry from her forehead, “I’m just telling you to be careful, to ignore Edward Ford and Cornel Brown, and to keep your interactions with them to a minimum, not to worry you.”
Cornel Brown?
“Dad?” Elena Bush was a little confused, “What’s wrong with Dad?”
“There’s been an accident with the Brown Group, he might come after you, but it’s nothing serious, so no need to worry about that.” The only reason he told her was to put her on alert.
Elena Bush nodded and seemed to be listening.
Logan Brown had to dictate again, “Remember, none of this has anything to do with you, don’t take it all on you, understand?”
“I know.” She answered and buried her face in his arms, “Don’t worry, even if they were to come after me I wouldn’t be easily convinced, because …… I know what I want.”
“Good girl.”
Logan Brown patted her head gently, his gaze soft.
Elena Bush nuzzled, wanting to say something, but the man in front of her was so warm in his arms that she couldn’t let go and had to hug him tighter.
Logan Brown patted her back, “Don’t worry, it’s just for a moment, Edward Ford is taking on the Brown Group these days so he might get distracted and neglect you too, so just say so in advance.”
The little woman rubbed herself affectionately against his arms, “It’s not like it’s anything, I caused the trouble and you’re making it up for me now, I can’t ……”
“Told you a few times, it’s got nothing to do with you.” Logan Brown sank his face, a little angry at her perception.
Elena Bush nodded her head repeatedly, “Yes, whatever you say, it’s all yours.”
The reply, which he knew was a perfunctory one, left him at a loss for words, except for a soft sigh of helplessness.
Elena Bush raised her eyes in his arms and smiled brightly, “Okay, don’t worry, I’ll be good and I won’t make any trouble for you!”
“Really?”
“Absolutely!” The little woman swore.
Logan Brown was sceptical and let go of her, his lips lifting, “I’ll go and pack the pasta so I can take it to the office tomorrow.”
Elena Bush let go of her as well, looking obedient, “Okay.”
As she watched Logan Brown go to get the box for Mia, Elena Bush lifted her hand to her pounding chest, her eyes falling cautiously to the outside of the kitchen where there was no sign of the man coming in.
She then fished out her phone and sent a quick message to Zach Stone.
Zach Stone was attentive and immediately dialled the number back, “Sister-in-law, you’re suddenly looking for me, is there something you want?”
“You know?” Elena Bush frowned.
Zach Stone gave a start, then shook his head and immediately pretended, “I don’t know anything about it, I’m a bit confused by your sudden comment, sister-in-law.”
“Don’t pretend to be confused.” Elena Bush sank her face, her tone slightly cold, “You should know about the recent situation of Edward Ford and the Brown Group, what has happened?”
“This ……”
Zach Stone looked confused, suddenly regretting his impulsive call back.
Elena Bush narrowed her eyes with a serious look, “You’re not answering because you know everything? Or is …… not telling me because you’re afraid to or can’t?”
Zach Stone shrugged his head and his tone took on a sour tone, “Sister-in-law, if you know what you’re talking about, why are you looking for me?”
Logan Brown had kept her in the dark because he didn’t want her to worry, but she wanted to know everything.
“I’m only looking for you here because I have no one else to look for.” Elena Bush said seriously, “Zach Stone, you’re the baby’s godfather, so you wouldn’t be able to keep it from me, would you?”
Zach Stone was almost moved, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head, “Sister-in-law, it’s not that I’m not telling you, it’s just that you’re not worrying about it now that the baby is on the way. That’s enough.”
“No.”
Elena Bush’s voice sank a few notches, “Zach Stone, if you were in my shoes, you would understand that none of this is enough because ……”
Because, she didn’t want to just stand behind him, and she didn’t want him to go off on his own and fight for her.
Since they were one, they should face it together, but the man always treated her like a child and would worry about her, so he chose to shield her behind him as well ……
The words, she did not say, but Zach Stone fell silent.
Elena Bush bit her lip and said, half threateningly, “Also, if you don’t tell me, I can go to Sophia too, and if it’s her, she should help me.”
“Little sister-in-law.” Zach Stone immediately cried out anxiously, “But don’t you think, in your current state, that perhaps waiting in peace for the baby to be born is the best option?”
That would be the only way to do it without disturbing him, to give him the peace of mind he needed to face all his predicaments.
Elena Bush shook her head, a little dazed, “No, I can’t, I don’t ask for anything else, but …… at least I hope I can help him, even a little.”
She had never known that she was insignificant, much less able to do anything, but even so, she didn’t want her to see it that hard.
Zach Stone listened to her words and finally let out a long sigh, “Forget it ……”
Elena Bush’s eyes lit up and a look of expectation followed on her face, “You mean, you promise me?”
“Just to be clear, I’m only going to tell you about Edward Ford’s recent dealings with the Brown Group, the rest, I won’t tell you even if you ask.” Zach Stone reminded.
Elena Bush responded, “Well, go ahead.”
Zach Stone took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment, “Edward Ford has taken a shot at the Brown Group recently, and as far as I know, has now snatched up at least three big deals from the Brown Group, and …… “
