Billionaire, I Am Not Your Wife! novel Chapter 20

Chapter 18

Logan’s POV

The house was dark when Nick and I arrived home from the airport, our return from Disneyland had been delayed by another day as the plane had some mechanical issues.

It was nearly 10 in the night when we drove into the driveway, Nick was passed out in the backseat worn out from 3 days on nonstop excitement.

I carried him inside, noting that no lights were on which was odd as Sedona usually made it a habit to leave the porch light on when I was coming home late.

This was probably one of her passive aggressive gestures, trying to make a point about how I failed her.

After tucking Nick into bed, I headed to our bedroom, loosening my tie and already mentally preparing for another inevitable confrontation that was bound to happen.

Sedona would be waiting in bed as usual, ready to guilt trip me about taking Nick to have a little fun with my friend, in general basically spending time with my own son and not including her. I was exhausted and not in the mood for her dramatics.

But the bedroom was empty.

“Sedona?” I called out, checking the bathroom. Nothing, I frowned and pulled out my phone, noticing I had several missed calls from Grandma Brooke. Unusual-she rarely called me more than once if I didn’t

answer.

I was about to call her back when my phone rang, her name appearing on the screen.

“Grandmother, I was just about to-”

“What did you do to that girl?” Her voice was filled with anger as she seemed extremely ticked off about something that I did, although I had no idea what it could possibly be.

“What did you do to make Sedona leave?”

I blinked, confused at her question. “What are you talking about? Leave? She’s just-”

“Sedona came to see me today. She returned the necklace. My necklace, Logan. The one I gave her as a wedding gift. She said she was leaving Chicago. Leaving you. She said she was never the wife of the Logan family, and therefore she had no right to keep it.”

Something twisted in my stomach although I forced it deep down and refuse to pay attention to it.” Grandmother, you know how Sedona’s. She is always sensitive to things that doesn’t even matter. She’s being dramatic. It’s just-”

“Dramatic? That sweet girl came to my home and said goodbye. Goodbye, Logan. She’s leaving you, and based on what little she told me, I can’t say I blame her. You deserve to be deprived of a treasure like her, since you are out there, fishing for coal”

Logan And Nee Return Home

+25 Points

Grandmother, you don’t understand. Sedona has been impossible to deal with lately. Ever since Katherine came back, she’s been jealous and possessive and-”

“Katherine.” The name came out like a curse, spat out with enough venom to make me flinch although she wasn’t visibly present.

“That’s what this is about. You brought that woman back into your life, basically playing married couple with her when you have a legal wife ordained by God and law and you’re surprised your wife is upset?”

“Katherine is a friend. She’s recovering from an injury. I’m just—”

“You’re parading another woman around in front of your wife. Taking your son on trips with her. Making Sedona feel like an outsider in her own family.” Grandma Brooke’s voice was cold. “I raised you better than this, Logan.”

“That’s not what is happening, you have to understand – Sedona is overreacting. She’s always overreacting lately. She probably just went to a hotel to make a point. She’ll be back in a day or two when she’s done sulking.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. When Grandma Brooke spoke again, her voice was quiet, disappointed. “If you believe that, then you’re a bigger fool than I thought. That girl didn’t look like someone making a point, Logan. She looked like someone saying goodbye forever. She looked… broken.”

“She’s fine. She’s just-”

“Find her. Make this right. Before you lose something you can never get back.”

She hung up before I could respond.
