Lola then replied to Logan with a question, asking him if there was anything wrong.
Is there anything wrong? Actually, no. Instead of sending back a reply, Logan called her outright.
This time, Lola answered his call promptly, and she immediately asked whether there was something else he
wanted to tell her about Ernest’s birthday celebration.
After a brief silence, Logan said, “On second thought, this matter likely involves a high risk factor, so I want to
confirm it with you. Are you sure you’ve given this due consideration? No one will blame you if you decline.”
Lola chuckled. “I’m sure. I’ve done such a thing before, so my ability to think on my feet is most probably better
than others. Therefore, I’m the most suitable candidate for this.” At present, her only concern was that she’d give
away the game at Ernest’s birthday celebration. After all, they’d pay particular attention to Sophia since they were

no matter how much she disguised herself. This was her only worry.
At the other end, Logan heaved a sigh. He then said that he’d be having someone do a makeover for her, rendering
her figure as close to Sophia’s as possible. Also, he reminded her that John would be with her then, so he’d help her
to cover up a bit.
Since he’d said as much, Lola had no worries anymore. She was probably lying on the bed, for she stretched
languidly. “Okay, then. If so, there’s no problem anymore.”
However, Logan was still feeling unsettled. He turned nagging, reminding her multiple times to prioritize her safety
when the time came. Lola became a tad impatient at his unrelenting badgering. “Say, Young Master Logan, would
you just stop harping on this?”
This time, Logan didn’t get peeved. “I’m just worried,” he lamented in a sullen voice
At this, Lola couldn’t bring herself to continue teasing him. Putting it bluntly, his so-called ‘worry’ was actually
concern for her safety, after all. She pursed her lips. “I’ll be fine. I’ve been in far more perilous situations than this
in the past, but I’ve overcome them in the end, so everything will be fine.” Logan let out a long sigh without
bothering to keep it muffled from her. Thus, she heard him loud and clear through the phone. Subsequently, it was
as though something nudged her heart. This man is really making me a tad discomfited. After a brief moment of
silence, Logan concluded, “It’s late, so I won’t bother you further. Have a good night’s sleep.” His voice was a touch
solemn, wholly different from his usual carefree attitude. Without waiting for her response, he then hung up. On the
other end, Lola gripped her cell phone.

After spacing out for a while, she slowly placed her cell phone down, having no explanation for the sudden feeling
that surged within her. After hanging up the phone, Logan turned off the lights and closed his eyes as he lay on the
bed. In reality, he could somewhat tell that this behavior of his was rather abnormal. Yanking the covers over his
head in frustration, he decided to cool off his chaotic feelings. Thus, he didn’t seek out Lola in the next few days. On
Saturday, he even took Jasmine out for a date. Jasmine wanted to go to the amusement park, so he drove her
there. When he bought their tickets, he bought the best admissions tickets. However, the moment he stepped in
and saw the childish rides, a pounding headache assailed him. He’d never wanted to go on such rides when he was
young, so he was all the more annoyed at the sight of them now. Jasmine, on the other hand, seemed very much
enthusiastic, dragging him along for one ride after another.
