Chapter 71 Their intimacy
The bright sunshine traveled through the window and streamed its light on the bed. Elena opened her eyes, frowning in pain. Logan and she had a wonderful night but the price was she was exhausted. Recalling his touch and kisses last night, she blushed immediately.
But she also felt cool and comfortable because Logan wiped her body all over with a warm towel after they had sex.
“You wake up?”
Logan took her into his arms. She nodded and leaned against his chest, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.
“Last night...” She bit her lips, and her face turned redder, “Your legs...seem to be just fine?”
Logan smiled and caressed her cheek, “Well, I don’t have to use legs.”
“I... should get up now!” His smell were so close and distracting that she could barely focus. She rose up in a hurry to get her clothes. Where was it?
Logan seemed to know what she was looking for and found it immediately. He lifted her bra and and asked her mischievously on purpose, “My dear, are you looking for this?”
“Oh, my!” Elena exclaimed and grabbed her bra at once. She gave him an angry glance, “You...”
She didn’t know what to say and hid herself in the bathroom out of embarrassment.
Logan enjoyed her timidness and couldn’t help chuckling. When he heard Elena was taking the shower, he stopped teased her and was ready to get up. He asked one of his servants to bring some clean clothes for Elena.
Inside the bathroom, Elena took the turtleneck which could easily cover her neck. She felt so relieved since no one would see the hickey. Otherwise, she couldn’t know at all how she could go downstairs and talk to them at ease.
Just when Elena went downstairs, she came across Grandpa George who looked at her knowingly. Once he saw Elena, he pulled her to the table and ordered the servant to serve the tonic. “Elena, you must be tired now. Drink this tonic. I ask them to prepare it for you especially.”
“Thanks, grandpa.” She blushed and avoided his eyes full of expectation.
Coming out of the bathroom on the first floor, Logan immediately noticed Grandpa’s enthusiasm. He stopped him and said, “Grandpa, don’t go too far. She is blushing now.”
Grandpa George looked at Elena’s rosy face and came to realize he was being too enthusiastic. Then he chuckled, “I am just showing my care for Elena. What are you talking about!?”
While Elena took a sip and pretended she didn’t understand.
“I think, now that you both come home, you should stay here for a few days more. I can also ask them to prepare nutritious food for Elena every day!”
“Thanks, grandpa, but no need.” She declined at once, “Mia is so good at cooking. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“You don’t want to stay with me?” Grandpa George pulled a long face.
Of course not! But how could Elena explain? Seeing this, Logan sighed and explained in a deep tone. “Grandpa, Elena and I need some privacy. But there are too many people here.”
Privacy? To create a grandchild for him? “I see! I see!” Grandpa George was enlightened and agreed. Now he urged them to leave, “Get back now and don’t linger here. If you call me whenever you miss
me.”
“…”
Elena secretly pinched Logan’s hand whose explanation had misled grandpa further!
He smiled innocently and whispered, “Do you have any better excuse?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Well, she didn’t…
Right after Elena finished the tonic, she was forced to eat a lot of nutritious food before they left.
When they finally went back home, she couldn’t help opening the window and gave a long sigh. She was free now! She couldn’t handle Grandpa George’s enthusiasm.
…
At this moment, Elena’s phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number. She hesitated to answer it.
“Hello, is that Miss Elena Bush?” A hoarse and polite voice came.
She hesitated for a while and said. “Yeah, may I ask who you are?”
“I am Aria’s mom. Could I make an appointment with you if time permits?” There was expectation in her voice. But then she added hurriedly, afraid to get refused. “No worries. I just want to say something to you in person.”
“… Alright. Where are you now?” Elena went upstairs to change her clothes.
Aria’s mom was relived and nodded merrily at once.
…
Elena thought Aria’s mom would be arrogant like Aria at first. But to her surprise, she just held Elena’s hand and tears rolled down incessantly. In the end, she apologized in a guilty tone, “Sorry, I meet you today only to extend my sincere apology on behalf of Aria.”
Elena was startled and supported her immediately when finding she was going to kneel down. “You don’t have to. You didn’t do anything to me. It’s not your fault.”
She shook her head. “I have known what Aria has done. I thought my little girl was just arbitrary. However, I can never imagine she had made such mistakes!”
Before meeting Elena, she had visited Ogden and his dad who kept reprimanding her and her daughter. They had told her what Aria had done. After going back to the ward and seeing her unconscious daughter, she became even more ashamed once she recalled Aria’s evil wrongdoings.
A few days ago, someone called Mr. Brown had settled Aria’s bill, and even left a large sum of money for her retirement life. She and Aria’s dad took it in gratitude. But later they found out they were the victims. Words failed to express her complicated thoughts now.
Seeing her guilt and sorrow, Elena wasn’t happy at all. She shook her head and comforted, “Auntie, it’s not your fault. Please let it go and move on”
Aria’s mom took a deep breath, trembling and holding her hand, “Anyway, we are sorry for that.”
