Unlike Cornel’s sourness and Mason’s selfishness, Roger was a dashing and attractive man. Being with him would be comfortable.
Elena smiled, “I am so glad to have a meal with you, Uncle Roger. But why do you want to meet us?”
“Hey! Do I have to find a reason?” Roger looked at them, laughing, “You might forget what I look like if I don’t come to you for a long time. You’ve gone through so much, but you didn’t tell me.”
Logan was surprised, and he knew why he wanted to meet them.
Elena was silent. She didn’t know where to start. Roger was patient, waiting for her answer. Then he asked, “What happened to the Bushes and the Browns. Are they in trouble?”
“No, they are not. But we were in trouble.” Elena explained it.
“Alright. Look, I don’t care about what happened to the Bushes or the Browns. I want to know how you two have been lately. And I heard about the fake news. Does it have anything to do with the other girl of the Bushes?"
Elena blurted out, “How do you know?”
Roger sighed, “Did they punish you?”
“Uncle Roger, you…”
“Easy! I just felt strange when I touched Logan’s coat.”
Elena lowered her head, looking so guilty. The doctor wrapped his back with a thick bandage, which even changed the shape of the coat. He did look a bit strange now.
Roger took Elena’s reaction as yes. He became angry, roaring in a low voice, “Cornel, the old silly man! And his stupid woman. Damn!”
“Uncle Roger…”
Elena was still confused. “How did you know everything? How did you know they punished us?”
Roger answered, “It is so obvious. I know Grandpa George is sensible. The one who hit you without any reason must be Cornel!”
Elena nodded. Now she understood it.
She held Logan’s hand under the table and whispered to him, “Well, to be honest, Uncle Roger and you are so similar.”
Logan smiled confidently, “Why? Because both of us are so clever?”
“Hey, don’t flatter yourself!” She glanced at him. But she did agree with what he said. They were so smart.
Roger saw them acting so close, so he felt somewhat relieved, “Look at you, sweet couple. You look good. I was overly worried.”
“Thank you.” Logan answered, “You are always scrupulous. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to bother you.”
“Hey! Stop it, boy! You will never bother me!”
Logan smiled, “Thank you.”
“You have grown up and impressed me recently. You got a spy in your company and he even sold your top secret. Thankfully you are capable, dealing with it perfectly. And now everyone is praising you. You are lucky enough, boy. Well done!”
“I know.” Logan smiled at him with confidence.
Roger shook his head, sighing, “Well, I am so old. I still treat you as a little boy.”
“It’s okay. He is a little boy in front of you, Uncle Roger. He still gets a lot of things to learn from you. If he does something wrong, please make him learn his lesson. I will be happy about that.” Elena said, looking at Logan with a smile.
