Jared, who was reading the report on his tablet, frowned when he heard this.
Makenna was initially happy because she knew Shonna was trying to match them. However, her heart thudded when she saw Jared frowning.
"Jared, are you unwilling?" Makenna asked as she bit her lips and looked up at him.
Jared slightly opened his mouth as if he was about to say something.
Shonna immediately slapped her thigh, "Of course Jared is willing. That's it then!"
"Mom!" Jared frowned, "This is not good for Makenna. We are not yet married."
Makenna's face turned pale for a moment.
Jared refused to share a room with her even though Shonna had already decided.
Didn't he know this would embarrass her?
Logan, who was leisurely nibbling on an apple on the sofa, felt somewhat pleased when he saw Makenna's pale face.
"What's wrong with not yet being married? That's a ridiculous excuse. You're gonna live together in the end." Shonna said casually.
Jared looked at Makenna with her head lowered beside him and added, "This is disrespectful to Makenna."
"What's disrespectful? Makenna…"
"Alright Shonna," Makenna said with a forced smile and a shook of her head, "Since Jared is not willing, just forget about it. I can stay in another other room."
"But…" Shonna was still a bit reluctant and wanted to say something.
Logan tossed the apple core away and patted his hand, saying, "Mom, since Makenna asked us to forget about it, we should just do as she says. Moreover, Jared had to help me with my homework, so he didn't have time for Makenna."
Jared swept a glance at Logan.
"Revision?" Shonna said as she stared at Logan with a strange look on her face.
She wasn't looking down on Logan, but this son of her had never been obsessed with studying before, and now he was talking about homework. This was really out of the blue.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong with me doing my homework?" Logan said agitatedly likes a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Shonna seemed doubtful, "Don't you want to focus on basketball and have decided not to go to university? What's the point of revising then?"
"It's different. Even if I don't go to university, I need to study. Basketball teams will ban me if my grades are too bad. Let's go, Jared."
He dragged Jared upstairs afterwards.
When Makenna looked at their backs, she clenched her hands tightly.
In the room, Jared closed the door and asked, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Logan laughed and said, "I did this for you. I did this because I knew you didn't wish to stay with Makenna."
There was another reason for him to do this as well.
He wanted to exact his revenge on Makenna for her behavior during the meal.
Logan turned to Jared and asked curiously, "Jared, why didn't you wish to stay with Makenna?"
Jared found himself unable to come up with an answer.
He also didn't know why, just that his heart was inexplicably reluctant.
While they were at the resort, Jared and Makenna slept in different beds, despite staying in the same room.
"That's enough. Don't bother me with so many questions. Take out your books and let's get started." Jared quickly changed the topic.
Logan was surprised, "No, Jared. This was merely my excuse. You really want to help with my homework?"
"Hurry up!" Jared stated unequivocally as he looked straight into Logan's eyes.
Logan could only cry inside and silently take out his books.
The following day.
Sheila handed an envelope to Amber just when she arrived at the office.
Amber took the envelope and examined it. When she found no sender information, she asked, "Who sent this?"
Sheila shook her head, "I'm also not sure about this. Reception informed me that a boy delivered it here and this was intended for you."
"A boy?" Amber pursed her lips as she recalled Logan's face.
He was the only boy she knew.
Could it really be him?
"Okay. Please gather all the documents that need to be approved today. I will go back to the office first." Amber said as she took the envelope away.
"Alright," answered Sheila.
