Things weren’t as straightforward as it seemed. He assumed that things would clear up as soon as he broke up with
Jasmine, but he forgot that Lola also had her own baggage to deal with. The realization only further frazzled him, as
falling for someone who hated him would be nothing but troublesome.
On the other hand, Belinda knew Logan wouldn’t be able to answer her questions regarding Lola, so she turned to
inquire about his father. Although they knew he was hospitalized, they didn’t know the specifics of it. Chuckling,
Logan replied, “He is in great shape, and he seems to have a great appetite.” In fact, Logan didn’t think he needed
to be hospitalized at all, as his father seemed to be in the pink of health when he dropped by to visit. He sure didn’t
show any symptoms at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBelinda nodded before commenting, “It’s great that he’s doing well. With his age, it’s hard to tell what will happen
in terms of his health, so you should spend more time with him.” With a nod, Logan agreed with Belinda.
Meanwhile, she stared at him before saying all of a sudden, “By the way, Logan, how are things between you and
your girlfriend? Your father must be feeling anxious about your progress.”
There was a momentary pause on Logan’s side as he wasn’t sure how to answer that. His father was indeed feeling
anxious for him, or else he wouldn’t be constantly asking about it, but it didn’t help the situation at hand, as his
relationship with Jasmine was practically doomed.
He knew he needed to clear things up with Jasmine, for he was well aware that he was the one who made the
wrong move. In hindsight, he realized he didn’t harbor any romantic feelings toward Jasmine, nor did he care much
about their relationship.
The lack of pressure was precisely why the relationship progressed smoothly until now. However, he assumed that
was what romance was as he didn’t know better back then due to his lack of experience in relationships.
Sophia knew at first glance that Logan was hesitating over the matter, so she stepped in to smooth things over.
“Logan hasn’t spent a long time with Miss Xanthos. Under normal circumstances, people would want more time to
get to know each other better, so I suppose it’s better to not come to a decision too hastily.” Logan nodded quickly
in agreement. “Yeah, those are my thoughts.” The three of them chatted for some more before Belinda went to get
her rest upstairs as per her normal routine, which left Sophia alone with Logan. It wasn’t until then that Logan
stopped smiling, whereas Sophia heaved a sigh. “What’s wrong, Logan? Did you have a fight with Miss Xanthos?”
Turning to look at Sophia, he asked, “Is it that obvious?” Sophia nodded before speaking. “You had a weird
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpression whenever she was mentioned, so what’s going on? She seemed to like being with you, so I don’t see
why she would quarrel with you.” Leaning back on the sofa, Logan exhaled before telling her in a low voice, “We
didn’t quarrel, but that’s precisely why I am feeling uneasy about it.” Jasmine chose to ignore the problem, while he
was in fact hoping that she would face him head on by lashing out, as it would be an opportunity for him to lay
things out in the open. However, the fact that Jasmine refused to address the matter had Logan feeling all tied up,
as he didn’t have it in him to impart the truth without considering her feelings. Sophia wore a smile while asking,
“What’s up with you? Do you so desperately want to be scolded by her?” After brooding on the subject for a long
while, he finally turned to look at Sophia. “I don’t think I love Jasmine.” He smacked his lips before continuing to say,
“It’s not like I hate her, but I don’t have romantic feelings toward her. I like her as she is low-maintenance. I don’t
feel pressured, and I was able to maintain a carefree lifestyle, but I think my feelings toward her aren’t romantic
feelings at all.”
