Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 186

"But they were together for years. Who knows, old flames have a funny way of sparking right back to life."

Sloane's heart violently skipped a beat.

A sharp pain radiated through her chest, aggravating her healing wound.

Brenda kept talking, her voice grating and relentless. "You wouldn't know, but the Major and Danielle used to sit on the beach and play guitar together all the time. Everyone who saw them was sick with jealousy."

Played guitar on the beach?

Sloane pressed a hand against her chest, glaring at Brenda as her patience finally snapped. "Your floor is here. Get out."

"Tch, I'm just trying to warn you. Don't go biting the hand that feeds you."

After Brenda finally waddled out, Sloane returned to Logan's empty apartment alone.

She turned on the lights and paced slowly around the room, her eyes eventually locking onto the acoustic guitar sitting quietly in the corner.

*"They used to sit on the beach and play guitar together... everyone was sick with jealousy."*

Was that really true?

*"Don't get too comfortable, though. The Major had a girlfriend before you..."*

The dull ache in her chest became unbearable, forcing her to sit down heavily on the sofa.

About half an hour later, Logan unlocked the door.

Seeing Sloane sitting frozen on the couch, his face instantly filled with concern. "Why aren't you resting in bed?"

Sloane didn't answer, only offering a hollow, bitter smile.

Thinking she was just uncomfortable, Logan asked gently, "Do you want to wash your hair? I can help you."

She was still wearing the dress with the zipper on the back. Without his help, she couldn't take it off, let alone wash her hair properly.

But if he was offering to care for her, why shouldn't she accept it?

Slowly, she nodded.
