Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 124

"Don't bother coming. I don't want to see you anymore, Logan. Besides, the truth is, I really dislike your career. I have zero interest in being tied to a man who is constantly running off, putting his life on the line every single day.

During our time together, there were several moments when I genuinely wanted to sleep with you. But every time I thought about your job, I felt incredibly disappointed. I just can't get past it. I need a man who can be by my side every day, sharing a normal, steady life.

Once our marriage contract expires, we'll just do the artificial insemination. Don't come looking for me, and I won't bother you."

With that, Sloane powered off her phone.

She lay on the hotel bed, squeezing her eyes shut as the tears cascaded down her cheeks without restraint. Finally, she rolled over and pulled the thick comforter over her head.

Even though she was completely alone in the hotel room, she couldn't bear to let her vulnerability show.

When Logan tried calling back, he was met with the automated message that her phone was off.

He sat in the private dining room with Beatrice, the massive table occupied only by the two of them.

At this moment, he couldn't form a single word.

Noticing the heavy silence, Beatrice frowned. "What happened to Sloane? Is she still coming?"

Logan shook his head.

"Everything was fine. Did you two get into a fight?"

"I said the wrong thing," Logan murmured.

"What on earth did you say?"

Logan remained silent.

He had only said those words because he felt he had to maintain a certain front.

But he had no idea Sloane had been standing right there.

"Well, go find her!" Beatrice urged. "She might have just gone home. I've met Sloane, she's a gentle and understanding girl. No matter what stupid thing you said, I'm sure she'll forgive you if you just apologize."

"It's not that simple," Logan said heavily.

"How is it not simple?"

"She just told me she dislikes my career. She actually wants someone with a stable life."

"That... she was probably just lashing out in anger, right?"

"She's hinted at it several times before. It wasn't just anger," Logan said.
