The man brushed away all her insecurities and emotions and made her heart feel as if it had found a home.
It was only after he had completely released her that they finally said something else.
“Logan Brown,” she called his name softly, with a slight sense of unrealistic virtualism.
Her slender hand involuntarily caressed his face, knowing that even at this moment it still felt as if he was a phantom that would dissipate at the touch.
Looking at her dumbfounded Logan Brown couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle, “You look like you’re doubting the reality of my existence?”
Elena Bush looked at him and nodded, then shook her head again.
“Stupid!”
He cursed lowly, the way she fell into his eyes making him angry and annoyed.
He was afraid he would hurt her if he hit her, and he was holding back his anger if he didn’t.
Elena Bush immediately fell into a small grimace, “You’re blaming me?”
“Yes!”
Logan Brown replied without hesitation, “Blame you for leaving without saying goodbye, blame you for not knowing any better, blame you for making up your own mind, and blame you for …… giving up on me when you say you will ……”
When the last words were spoken, Logan Brown hardly knew with what emotion they were uttered.
All he knew was that …… the man had just disappeared into his world, leaving him at a loss for what to do ……
“I didn’t give up on you!”
Elena Bush immediately gripped his hand nervously, “I didn’t, Edward Ford did, he said he just wanted me to go back to the Fords and see Joanna Lake, he wanted me to pay my respects to Joanna Lake …… ”
But who knew that Edward Ford would go back on his word afterwards?
Logan Brown lifted his eyes and looked at her.
For fear he wouldn’t believe her, Elena Bush’s grip on his sleeve tightened a bit, “Logan Brown, you believe me …… really …… ”
“I know.” He nodded , “As long as it’s what you say, I believe it.”
At that, the little woman shrugged her head down again, “But I ……”
“No need to say more.” He interrupted her just in time, “I understand everything you want to say, everything you have to say.”
The latter’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart involuntarily rambled along with it.
The trembling fingertips also betrayed what was going on in her mind at the moment.
“Listen to me ……” his forehead rested on her shoulder, his thin lips lightly opened, “the Browns are fine, the vendors have stabilised and a new partner has been confirmed, I’ve got Jacob preparing the contract and it will be signed soon, so don’t be afraid, nothing has happened, nothing has been lost.”
“A new manufacturer?”
Elena Bush immediately pushed him away and tensed up, “Logan Brown, what are you trying to do? Didn’t the previous vendor already agree to continue working together? What if you switch to another manufacturer now and then there’s a problem with production after that?”
“Don’t worry, that’s who KL has been working with for a few years, there won’t be any mistakes.” Logan Brown’s face was confident and calm.
“But why the change?”
The man asked had a stern glint in his eyes, “Elena, if the man who betrayed you was willing to turn around, and he told you that he would never listen to anyone else or betray you again, would you believe him?”
“I ……” she looked over at him and subconsciously shook her head, “wouldn’t.”
“Right.”
Logan Brown cupped her cheek, his deep eyes reflecting into her starry ones, “A person or thing that has been betrayed once is like money that has fallen into a cesspool, even if it is washed clean it will not wash away the filth that has long since eroded! So, as soon as there has been one betrayal, they are not enough for me to trust, and I will not entrust them with heavy responsibilities any more.”
Elena Bush sighed darkly, not knowing how to retort.
In any case, her heart felt the same way, betrayal was betrayal, there was no reason and no bitterness ……
The calloused palm gently brushed her cheek, rubbing her in a way that only tickled.
“Elena, come back to H City with me. …… Let’s get out of here.”
“Good.”
She replied without hesitation, and her starry eyes tinged with a little sparkle.
As he was stunned, a soft kiss landed on his thin lips again.
Elena Bush tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed bitterly, “I will leave, and I will leave G city, but not now.”
At that, Logan Brown’s brow furrowed in disgust, “Why? Do you have some compelling reason?”
“Of course I do, a very good reason!” The little woman was very determined, “Logan, listen to me, Edward Ford is a madman, he’ll do anything, and if he finds out you’ve sneaked in here, he won’t let you off the hook!”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Logan Brown felt her fear so clearly that he took her into his arms again and laid her down on the bed, “No one will know, no one will know.”
“Really?”
There was still a hint of unease between the words.
Logan Brown hooked a smile and nodded as he caressed her brow, “Really.”
“But ……” she bit her lip, “how are you going to leave? Edward Ford is so shrewd, and he has extra men watching me, I’m afraid.”
Before the words were finished, the man’s hand came out deep against her lips to stop her words.
At her ear, the man’s voice was soft and mellow, “Be good, sleep well, nothing will happen.”
“I… I don’t want you to go.” Elena Bush tightened the blanket with one hand, pulling his sleeve with the other, unable to let go, her eyes full of dependence and trust in the darkness.
“Don’t go.” Logan Brown lifted the covers and lay beside her, his broad body pressed up against hers, taking her small body into his arms, “I’m not leaving, sleep easy.”
“Will you still be there when you wake up?”
“…… won’t be.”
Logan Brown said honestly, only to quickly continue to change his tune, “But don’t worry, soon I’ll pick you up and take you home, soon ……”
Elena Bush couldn’t listen anymore and took his palm in one hand and pressed it against the small of her back, “That’s something you’ll have to tell the baby yourself, I can wait, but I’m afraid he can’t.”
She was afraid …… of what a frantic Edward Ford might do, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
Logan Brown tightened his thin lips and shook his head firmly, “He won’t do anything to you, at least, not to the baby.”
“Why?” Elena Bush was full of doubt and clearly disbelief, “He has no room for this child in his eyes, it’s like sand in his eyes, he hates to get rid of it! How could he ……”
“Just by the fact that you still have a place in his heart.”
Logan Brown took up the words quickly, the force of his circle tightening silently around her, “Even though I don’t want to admit it, I have to admit that Edward Ford thinks more of you than he does, so he would never do anything that involved your life being in danger!”
