A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

I lowered my head, avoiding Logan’s gaze. 

Then, he suddenly asked, “Did Ruby and Norman come today?* 

His question caught me off guard. I hadn’t expected him to ask about this. 

I nodded. 

“Did they say anything hurtful?” 

I shook my head. 

“Really?” he asked again. 

I shook my head again. 

Logan stared at me for a long while before he said, “Go upstairs and get some rest. 

I looked at him, unable to say the words that I have rehearsed all afternoon. 

When he turned around and noticed that I hadn’t gone upstairs yet, he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Or do you have something to say to me?” 

I quickly shook my head. “No, it’s nothing.” 

With that, I hurried upstairs. 

Behind me, Logan suddenly said, “Don’t listen to what Ruby says. And as for Norman, just ignore him.” 

| absentmindedly nodded 

“I’ll arrange for you to stay somewhere else once I finish settling things tomorrow,” he added. 

This caught me off guard. 

“There are too many people coming in and out of here. It’s not safe.” 

At that moment, I finally had the courage to say what I had thought about all afternoon. “Logan, I actually have a place I can go.” 

He frowned and asked, “Where?” 

“I can stay with Teri.” 

“No.” Logan rejected the idea without hesitation. “You’re not staying with Ms. Stuart.* 

I was surprised. “Why not?” 

For the first time, Logan’s face showed a trace of displeasure. “Can she take care of you? She has to work. 

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” 

He glanced at me and said, “I said no, and that’s final.” 

I fell silent 

It was the first time I’d noticed Logan’s stubbornness. I couldn’t argue with him, and I didn’t have the courage to either. 

Logan then glanced at the calendar at the wall and said, “Go upstairs and rest. Don’t go around tomorrow. I’ll take you to look at some houses.” 

So, I went upstairs with mixed feelings. 

Then, at the comer of the stairs, I heard Logan make a phone call. 

He spoke with deep displeasure, “Norman, back off. It has nothing to do with you. That’s it.” 

Then, he quickly hung up. 

At that moment, I could sense that Logan had glanced up toward the second floor, so I didn’t dare to eavesdrop any longer and quickly retreated to my room. 

Back in my room, I laid on my bed, feeling confused. 

There were so many things that I wanted to discuss with Logan. But for some reason, all my courage disappeared the moment I saw him. 

He was like an unfathomable abyss or a towering mountain. 

He was close to me, yet so out of reach.
