Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 245

Sloane had arrived back in Capital City.

Standing in the airport terminal, she switched her phone back to normal mode, desperately hoping for a new message from Logan.

Nothing.

Her heart sank all over again.

The climate in Capital City was completely different from the island.

The island air was thick, humid, and constantly whipped by strong gales, while Capital City had a crisp, dry breeze with none of that clinging dampness.

Stepping out of the sliding glass doors felt like returning to an alternate reality.

It wasn't until she joined the queue for the taxi stand that it truly hit her.

She didn't have a home here anymore.

She had already surrendered her dorm at the hospital. Her only options were booking a hotel room or going back to Valentine Towers.

Without hesitation, she gave the driver the address for Valentine Towers.

To her surprise, she bumped into Macy right by the lobby entrance.

Macy was just walking back from the grocery store, carrying a heavy bag of fruit.

Seeing Sloane, her jaw dropped in disbelief. "Sloane? Is that really you?"

Sloane offered a genuine smile as she looked at Macy's prominent baby bump. "You must be around four or five months along now?"

"Five months, according to my doctor."

"Where's Dan?"

"He's at work. My morning sickness was brutal a while back, so he made me quit and stay home to rest."

"That's wonderful. Congratulations," Sloane said softly.

"Why are you back so suddenly? And where's Logan? You two vanished into thin air, and he looked like a total wreck before he left. Where did you guys go?" Macy asked, overflowing with curiosity.

"It was just a work transfer," Sloane lied smoothly. "I was sent on a medical support mission to a remote area, and Logan was reassigned out of town."

"Well, now that you're back, Logan should be coming home soon too, right?" Macy beamed. "I've missed you guys! There's barely anyone around here to talk to."

"Logan..." Sloane scrambled for an excuse. "He's still on a business trip. It might be a long time before he comes back. As for me, my schedule is incredibly packed, so I probably won't have much free time to chat."
