<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You!” Jocelyn emotionally yelled out but soon quicklyposed herself.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This was a public ce, and they were in front of Logan</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan’s social status intimidated them, and they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble and hurl shameless usations at me while he was here.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">So, the atmosphere grew awkward once again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This time, nobody spoke until the dishes arrived.</font></font>Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan took the te ofmb chops in front of me and carefully cut them into pieces before handing them</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">to me.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I looked at the sizzling, juicymb chops and smiled at him. “Thanks, Logan,”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah suddenly said disdainfully, “Ari doesn’t likemb chops.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah was sure of himself as he said, “I’ve been married to her for five years. I know her preferences very well. She hates eatingmb.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I took a piece ofmb and ced it into my mouth. “I love eatingmb. I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid, “I said to Logan.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan’s gaze was filled with affection. Yeah, I know. Your brother mentioned that you love eatingmb. I didn’t forget,” he replied.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah’s expression darkened as he red at Logan. “Mr. Wood, she’s only eating it to spite me. She doesn’t actually like it,” he insisted, staring at me, as if trying to prove his point.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, I just ignored him and picked up another piece of deliciousmb, savoring it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan then calmly replied, “Mr. Linden, has it ever crossed your mind that Ari might’ve told you she didn’t likemb simply because you didn’t like it yourself back then?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah’s smugness suddenly vanished.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ari, when you told me you didn’t likemb back then, was it really because I didn’t like.it?” he questioned.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I lowered my gaze and calmly replied, “Mr. Linden, I lost my memory. I can’t remember.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah’s face paled, as if something had shattered his cognition.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His thin lips trembled.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn then broke the awkwardness with a yfulugh. “Mr. Wood, I wonder if you’ll have time to attend my recital with your busy schedule?” she asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She took out an exquisite–looking ticket from her crocodile leather bag. “This is a front row There are only 15 seats avable-</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">ront row VIP seat.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">–</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But before she could finish, Logan coldly pushed the ticket away. “I’m sorry, Ms. Cornell. I’m not</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">he interrupted.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">t avable,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The smile on Jocelyn’s face froze, and the ticket now seemed like a burden in her hands.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan hadn’t even looked at the date on the ticket!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 58</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If that wasn’t a p on the face, what was?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A loud “ng” suddenly echoed as Elijah mmed his silverware onto the table. His expression had be more than unpleasant.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Through gritted teeth, he asked, “Mr. Wood, I have no grudges with you. Why are you treating me and Jocelyn with such hostility?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn leaned softly against Elijah’s shoulders, blinking herrge and heavily made–up eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In a pitiful tone, she said, “Elijah, don’t be mad. Mr. Wood probably just has a misunderstanding about us. After all, Ms. York is staying with him. Maybe she told him something that gave him the wrong impression.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She timidly nced at Logan with a humble yet pitiful attitude. “Mr. Wood, please give us a chance to exin ourselves. We really have no ill intentions toward Ms. York,” she pleaded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan nced at her, his tone indifferent as he said, “Ms. Cornell, we’re not well acquainted, and I’ve only met Mr. Linden a few times. But I’ve known Ari since she was a child. I know her character and</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">personality very well.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His thin lips curled up slightly as he shifted his gaze toward Elijah. “Mr. Linden, you’re a grown man who built your fortune using a woman’s money. Yet, you still don’t treat her well. That doesn’t seem like the behavior of a responsible man, does it?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">silently gasped at his words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Logan’s words made it clear that he was on my side. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such harsh words to them.</font></font>
