Chapter 58
“You!” Jocelyn emotionally yelled out but soon quickly composed herself.
This was a public place, and they were in front of Logan
Logan’s social status intimidated them, and they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble and hurl shameless accusations at me while he was here.
So, the atmosphere grew awkward once again.
This time, nobody spoke until the dishes arrived.
Logan took the plate of lamb chops in front of me and carefully cut them into pieces before handing them
to me.
I looked at the sizzling, juicy lamb chops and smiled at him. “Thanks, Logan,”
Elijah suddenly said disdainfully, “Ari doesn’t like lamb chops.”
Logan raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
Elijah was sure of himself as he said, “I’ve been married to her for five years. I know her preferences very well. She hates eating lamb.”
I took a piece of lamb and placed it into my mouth. “I love eating lamb. I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid, “I said to Logan.
Logan’s gaze was filled with affection. Yeah, I know. Your brother mentioned that you love eating lamb. I didn’t forget,” he replied.
Elijah’s expression darkened as he glared at Logan. “Mr. Wood, she’s only eating it to spite me. She doesn’t actually like it,” he insisted, staring at me, as if trying to prove his point.

Logan then calmly replied, “Mr. Linden, has it ever crossed your mind that Ari might’ve told you she didn’t like lamb simply because you didn’t like it yourself back then?”
Elijah’s smugness suddenly vanished.
“Ari, when you told me you didn’t like lamb back then, was it really because I didn’t like.it?” he questioned.
I lowered my gaze and calmly replied, “Mr. Linden, I lost my memory. I can’t remember.”
Elijah’s face paled, as if something had shattered his cognition.
His thin lips trembled.
Jocelyn then broke the awkwardness with a playful laugh. “Mr. Wood, I wonder if you’ll have time to attend my recital with your busy schedule?” she asked.
She took out an exquisite–looking ticket from her crocodile leather bag. “This is a front row There are only 15 seats available-

The smile on Jocelyn’s face froze, and the ticket now seemed like a burden in her hands.
Logan hadn’t even looked at the date on the ticket!
