Chapter 61_A Love Forgotten

I buried my head in my food for a while. Suddenly, it struck me that Elijah didn’t know me at all. He had no idea what I liked and disliked.

 Feeling confused, I suddenly blurted out, “So what were those five years I spent married to Elijah?”

 Logan took a sip of his champagne andzily replied, I suppose it’s like feeding a genuine heart to the wolves.”

 I was left speechless.

 The next morning, I woke up to dozens of messages on my phone. They were mostly from buyers asking about prices on the app. I replied to a few interested buyers

 The steep discounts on these luxury items sparked mixed reactions. Some buyers expre others remained skeptical.

 I had little memory of the inte for the past few years. My mind was still stuck back when WhatsApp was introduced,

 I replied to each message as best as I could. In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Only then did I Tealize I was famished. I hurried to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

 Just as I reached the kitchen, the door opened. I was startled when a middle–aged woman walked in with her arms filled with groceries.

 “Who are you? I asked.

 The woman introduced herself enthusiastically. “Hello, Ms. York. I’m Lora, the cook Mr. Wood hired.”

 I instantly knew that this was Logan’s way of taking care of me. Lora was quick and efficient in the kitchen. Not long after, she brought out a te of pasta.

 She kept apologizing as she fussed around me. “I was supposed to arrive by 8:00a.m. but I missed a stop. You must be starving. Hurry up and eat.”

 I took a bite and my eyes lit up. It was exactly how I liked it. As I ate my pasta, I asked, “Lora, where are you from?”

 Lora smiled warmly and mentioned her hometown. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it. “That’s where I’m from too! My grandmother lives there.”

 When Lora heard that we were from the same hometown, she became much friendlier. We had a great time chatting.

 Suddenly, Lora said, “I had been wondering why Mr. Wood insisted on hiring a cook from that specific area. Now I realize it’s because that’s where you’re from.”

 Her words took me by surprise. I forced a smile.

 When Lora started to clean up, I slipped back into my room. My heart was racing and I felt uncertain about my emotions. I lightly pped myself on the cheeks and scolded myself.

 Though he was wonderful and cared for me greatly, I felt unworthy of him. After giving myself a few mental reminders, I let out a sigh of relief. That was close. I almost fell into another love trap again.

 Lora was great at her job, and her cooking suited my tastes perfectly.

 After I finished the te of pasta for lunch, she prepared an authentic dessert from my hometown. Later, she even brewed some green tea for me to boost my energy.

 By the time I had drunk two cups, she brought out some poached pears in syrup. I couldn’t help but wonder if she had emptied the entire Wood family’s pantry.

 Lora was extremely pleased when she saw that I had eaten everything. “Mr. Wood said that I must take good care of you. You’re too skinny, Ms. York. Men don’t like girls who are too thin.”

 Embarrassed, I replied, “I’m not anything to Mr. Wood.”
