Logan Brown fell silent, obviously aware of his own negligence.
The housekeeper looked at the two of them and became nervous, busy waving his hands, “No, no, it’s the young master and young lady who are overthinking things. ”
Cornel Brown also slowly shrugged his head down, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault too.”
It was obvious that he lived with George Brown, but he never noticed anything different about him, which is why he let things evolve into what they did.
Logan Brown lifted his eyes and gave him a nonchalant sweep.
Cornel Brown gave a jolt and subconsciously straightened his back to meet his gaze, “Logan, I know you’re still blaming me for what happened back then, but no matter what, I have to make it clear to you. This time with Dad, we should put aside our preconceptions and think of his health and mood first.”
“You mean, to make me play along with you?”
Logan Brown tugged at the corner of his mouth with a sneer.
Elena Bush squeezed his palm, forbidding him to clamp down on such hostility.
At this rate, it was only possible that both men would have completely ignored each other before they had a chance to speak properly.
Cornel Brown’s face was embarrassed for a while before he nodded sardonically, “Yes, I won’t force you to forgive me, but think of it as me begging you to let Dad at least see that you and I don’t add to each other’s hearts in the meantime!”
“Cornel Brown ……”
Logan Brown’s lips fluttered slightly as if he was about to answer something.
Elena Bush snatched that before she could respond quickly, “Yes! I promise!”
The man turned his head to look at her and Elena Bush patted his palm in a slightly soothing way, “It’s all for Grandpa’s pleasure, so don’t be capricious, okay?”
Logan Brown hesitated for a moment and did not respond.
The butler at the side hesitated and echoed, “Yes, young master, you should know that George Brown is probably at the end of his tether now, so at least don’t let him have a hard time until then ……”
The butler’s words were a heavy topic and for a moment, no one answered.
Elena Bush forced a smile, “Logan, I always listen to you, but this time, will you listen to me?”
“Yeah.”
The man responded silently, then finally nodded his head in agreement.
Cornel Brown followed with a long breath, “I’ll arrange for Harvey to be brought over later, so you can stay at home for a few more days until Dad’s condition stabilises.”
“No, Harvey’s under supervision, he won’t make a scene for two days.” Elena Bush politely declined.
She knew Logan Brown didn’t like any contact between Harvey and Cornel Brown, so she was the first to respond before Logan Brown could answer.
If Cornel Brown wanted to hate, he could hate her.
As soon as Cornel Brown heard her refusal, he shot her a stern look, as if to reprimand her for talking too much.
Elena Bush laughed sardonically.
Logan Brown defended her as if she were a calf, saying, “Cornel Brown, if you have anything to say to me, you don’t have to threaten her.”
“Fine.”
Cornel Brown was speechless and put his hands up in surrender, “I won’t mess with her, I won’t mess with you, and we’ll be fine for the time being, okay?”
“You better!”
Logan Brown said coldly and got up and led Elena Bush back to her room.
Elena Bush looked at the tense face of the man who had closed the door behind him and felt a bit of pain, silently stepping forward and stroking his back, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll send Kent a message later and ask them to look after Harvey, plus there’s no need for any other worries if Mia’s there too.”
“Hmm.”
The man nodded and Elena Bush turned to make the call.
Not wanting to, he tightened his grip on her waist to keep her from moving.
“Logan Brown?” she asked, turning halfway around to look at him in confusion.
Logan Brown rested his chin against her shoulder, “Elena, did I just …… get a little too graceless?”
“What do you think?” She didn’t answer, just asked him back.
Logan Brown tightened his thin lips, obviously, with an idea in mind as well.
Elena Bush let out an imperceptible soft sigh and turned to circle him back to hug him likewise, “Logan Brown, actually, you must be doing pretty well.”
At least he didn’t just leave out of anger ……
Logan Brown’s face darkened a few more times and he couldn’t help but say, “Am I that bad in your eyes?”
“No!” Elena Bush immediately shook her head and patted the top of his head helplessly, “I just think I know you better than anyone else, and besides, I’ve seen it all the way through with you and Cornel Brown, and it’s not unreasonable for you to do that.”
Logan Brown blushed slightly and looked at her for a long time without speaking.
Elena Bush returned a smile, “You can do what you want, no one can force you or think of forcing you to accept him ……”
To be willing to accept is to be willing, if not, no one else is in a position to lecture.
“Am I wrong then?” He trailed off softly, his voice soft enough for only her to hear.
Elena Bush was speechless for a moment and didn’t know what to say in reply.
There was a moment of silence before she whispered, “I don’t know, you didn’t do anything wrong, but you may not have been right either, and as for Cornel Brown ……”
She knew that Cornel Brown cared about Logan Brown too, just in the wrong way, and that was why he got it so wrong.
It was like the two were walking further and further apart on a parallel line, and yet no one was looking back ……
Elena Bush bit her lip and spoke again, “Actually, right or wrong only you know, I’m not in a position to criticize.”
The little woman’s eyes were extraordinarily bright, and the bottom of those clear eyes reflected his appearance.
Logan Brown tightened his hold on her a few notches.
For a long time ……
Elena Bush heard his voice faintly, “I’m sorry, just give me some more time, I need to think it over ……”
Cornel Brown had hit him so hard that he simply didn’t know how he should forgive him.
And it was Cornel Brown’s indifference and selfishness that had cost him everything he had hoped for in the first place ……
“Good.”
She grinned up, not a trace of anything else hiding on her little face, so downright generous.
Elena Bush leaned down and her red lips fell unerringly on his slightly cool ones saying, “I trust you ……”
