Chapter 121 Anna’s lie
Anna was sitting in the car. And she was crying, “Grandpa, is Logan unwilling to meet us? I just want to apologize to him.”
Grandpa George was upset and annoyed, but he tried his best to hide his feeling. He tried to call Elena but she didn’t answer. That was because Elena didn’t know where her phone was since Logan took it for her this morning.
“Grandpa, do they answer?” Anna said in a crying tone.
“They turn off the phone. Perhaps they are boarding.”
Anna was worried, “What should I do? I just want to apologize for what happened yesterday. But they left without telling us. Are they really angry with me?”
Grandpa George was also annoyed, so he didn’t answer her.
It was not so easy for him to get closer to Logan during these years. However, what happened yesterday might make it worse. And now, he didn’t meet Logan. He wondered if Logan left on purpose.
Anna didn’t get a reply from him, so she pulled his sleeve and wanted him to answer, “Grandpa…”
Grandpa George was getting impatient now. He gave her a sharp stare and said in an unfriendly tone, “You should have apologized to them yesterday. But you just missed your chance! Now they are not at home, what can I do!”
“I…” Anna was scolded by Grandpa George. She kept her head down, making herself look so guilty and pitiful, “I’m so sorry, Grandpa.”
Grandpa George realized he just lost his bad temper but he didn’t want to apologize to Anna, so he chose to keep silent and looked out of the window.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
While Anna saw Mason outside the window, she couldn’t help asking, “Grandpa, who’s that? He seems so sad.”
“Well.” Grandpa George showed his detestation towards him, “He is Elena’s father. He is the one who wanted Emma to marry Logan at first. But at last Logan married Elena.”
“Emma? One of his daughters?”
“Yes. She is married, too. And it’s said that she is pregnant.” Grandpa George nodded, and added, “But I heard that they were divorcing. Well, things change all the time. But the baby is innocent. Alas!”
Anna nodded, but no one could tell if she really cared what he said just now.
After a while, she said, “Well, speaking of the baby, Logan and Elena have married for half a year. Do they plan to have a baby?”
Grandpa George was surprised that she would ask about the baby thing, stammering, “Well…Logan thinks…it’s too early…No hurry.”
“But you want to see your great grandson as soon as possible, don’t you? Grandpa…”
Grandpa George stopped her by a sigh, “It’s up to them. By the way, your parents are looking forward to your wedding, aren’t they?”
“…I…” Anna didn’t know how to reply.
Grandpa George implied, “Logan became angry yesterday mostly because of you. Yolanda wasn’t that thoughtful, always talking about your past. Well, you know, it’s no good talking about past. Logan has moved on already. He was afraid that Elena would be unhappy, so he left with her.”
“Grandpa!” Anna understood what he implied. She was embarrassed with her face turning pale.
“Anna, what’s wrong?”
Anna tried to compose herself, clenching her fists so tightly. She looked at Grandpa George, and decided to tell a lie, “Grandpa, actually, I have a boyfriend now. I just don’t want to tell my parents so soon. I never expect to make them worry about me.”
Grandpa George was dumbfounded. He was embarrassed that he overthought. So he said with an awkward smile, “Oh, congratulations. Well, I thought…”
“You thought…what?” Anna smiled.
Grandpa George felt somewhat relived. Then he said, “Nothing. If you tell Logan the good news, he won’t treat you like that.”
Anna looked away, sneering in silence.
Grandpa George continued saying, “Anna, take your boyfriend home one day. How long have you been together? If it’s over a year, it’s time to get married.”
It was just a lie, so she couldn’t say anything about it. She just lowered her head and avoided his eyes.
***
Elena and Logan went to the hotel as soon as they arrived in B City. Seemingly Logan was busy. He was having nonstop meetings. So Elena wouldn’t bother him and left the room.
She heard that there was a natural hot spring in the hotel, so she went there. She ordered a glass of juice and found a place to have a rest. She couldn’t swim, so she wasn’t interested in the pool. However, she just enjoyed watching it.
The next moment, she felt someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw Charlie was smiling at her. She was a little surprised, and asked, “Why are you here, Mr. Wilson?”
“Come on, don’t call me that way. We are friends, right? Call me by my name.”
“Charlie.” She called his name then.
Charlie smiled and sat next to her. “Why are you here then? For business?”
“Yes.” Elena nodded, then she asked, “What about you? You’ve been in H City. Why are you here today?”
He shrugged his shoulders, “I am in charge of a project. And I am here for refinancing.”
She had a moment of enlightenment. He must return to the Wilson’s Group and work there. But the terrible attitude of Mrs. Wilson towards him really scared her, so she was worried about him.
He patted her head softly, “Come on, don’t be unhappy. Oh right! I want to thank you since you helped me last time. Shall we have a meal?”
“I will ask Logan when he is available.” She didn’t make a promise immediately. And Charlie didn’t mind it.
Suddenly, a masculine and hot man appeared from the water. His figure gained a lot admiration from people around. Elena just gave a glance at it.
However, Charlie was obviously unhappy to see him. The man put on a gown and walked towards them.
“Look at you! You are in such a good mood hooking with sluts, don’t you? Seems you don’t really care about your business.” The man said in a flippant and rude tone.
Elena frowned, showing detestation to the man who was looking at her with an evil leer.
Suddenly, the man put his hand on Elena and pinched her face. His hand was so cold since he just got up from the water.
“James! Stop it! Watch your manner!” Charlie slapped his hand off Elena.
James Wilson? Elena had heard about him, the oldest son and good-for-nothing of the Wilsons.
James sneered, “Be polite to your slut? Save it. It’s polite for me not to fuck her right here.”
Elena was shocked by his dirty words and felt extremely angry. She couldn’t help slapping his face as heavily as she could do, making a sound that could be heard by everyone.
