Logan was thinking with a serious look. Elena touched his face gently, “Alright. Don’t think too much. It doesn’t help at all. Anyway, it’s none of our business.”
Logan replied with a nod. But he was still confused.
When they arrived home, it was dark outside. Logan wanted Elena to have a rest first. But Elena didn’t want to sleep alone.
“I can wait for you.”
“You don’t have to. It’s too late.” He said in a mild tone.
Elena was finding excuses, “Well, I am hungry now. I haven’t eaten anything tonight.”
Logan looked at her. He gave in, “Alright. I’ll cook for you now.”
“No, thanks!” She stopped him, “You must be tired now. I’ll do it.”
Then she went to the kitchen. Logan followed her, “It’s cold now. You’d better not use the cold water.”
Elena opened the fridge. When she saw the food inside the fridge, she smiled to him, “Well. I think neither of us needs to do the cooking.”
She took a step back and let him have a look. The fridge was filled with ready-made food. “It must be Mia. She did this for us.”
Logan nodded, “Then heat it in the microwave. Call her tomorrow. Let her know that she doesn’t have to do this for us these days. She should take good care of her family and herself.”
Elena put the food into the microwave, nodding, “OK.”
They had all the food that night. After the meal, Elena didn’t want him to get back to work. So she persuaded him to have a good rest.
The next day, when they woke up, they found that someone paid a visit to them. It was Grandpa George. Elena was so surprised, “Grandpa? Why are you here?”
Grandpa George was happy to see Elena. “You get up too late! I’ve been here for the whole morning.”
“Why do you have the key to my house?” Logan asked in a cold tone.
Grandpa George smirked, lying, “Well…I…I asked Mia to give me one.”
“You duplicated it in secret, right?” Logan caught Grandpa George in a lie.
Grandpa George looked embarrassed, but quickly, he composed himself, trying to look serious, “Forget it. I heard that Emma committed suicide, didn’t she? What happened?! Tell me now!”
Elena was a bit shocked, “How do you know it?”
“Come on! It’s breaking news! How can’t I know it?” Grandpa George answered.
He went to the hospital for a body check. And one of his acquaintances working in the hospital told him that his grandson’s wife’s family committed suicide and now was staying in the hospital. He was so shocked. He wanted to know more about it so he rushed to them at once.
Logan frowned, saying in an indifferent tone, “Why are you being so gossipy? It’s none of your business.”
“Bad boy!” Grandpa George was irritated by his cold attitude, “If you don’t tell me, I will ask Mason instead! He will tell me everything!”
Elena didn’t want him to know too much. So she gave him the runaround, “It’s about the Bushes. Leave them alone. I’ll send you home now.”
