“Jacqueline, do you think…how I should reply?” Logan said with a smile.
Alert inside, Jacqueline tried hard to force a smile, “I have no idea what you mean, and why you asked me?”
“I would just like to know what you will say?”
Anyhow, Jacqueline got furious. When she was about to blow her stack, George Brown got involved and continued to ask, “Logan, what the hell is going on?”
The man’s gaze fell on Jacqueline again.
She gnashed her teeth silently. She swore if Logan said something wrong, she was not afraid to bite!
The air was so dense! George Brown waited Logan to give an answer. However, Logan just smiled, and then said slowly, “Nothing, I just think too much.”
With his words, Jacqueline felt her lifted heart falling back into her stomach, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Elena pushed the soup to Logan, and salvaged the situation, “The soup is about to be cold, and you take it first.”
“Nice of you!” Logan smiled, jokingly.
Elena rolled her eyes, “Just take it!”
“Yes, Madam!”
After the meal, Jacqueline was weakened and she dared not to stay in the hall. Then she pulled Yolanda and went back to their rooms.
George looked at her behavior, and acquiesced that she can stay in this main house.
In the following day, it’s raining. Elena subconsciously frowned, feeling it will be raining when it’s close to the Spring Festival, which made one’s moods changeable.
Jacqueline looked at the two in the living room, and said, “Logan, Elena…”
Elena turned to see her, “Jacqueline.”
Jacqueline silently clenched her fists, but suppressed the gloom quickly, “Good girl!”
“What’s up?” Elena blinked and looked at Jacqueline.
“Nothing special, I just heard that the Guanyin in the Immortality Temple works best. You see, you are pregnant for months. It’s time to pray for a protective talisman for your baby.”
Elena smiled, “We are the young generation, and we don’t believe in this. And I prefer to use technology to check the situation of my baby…”
“Come on!”
Jacqueline immediately interrupted, “It’s a custom in our family to pray for a protective talisman for the baby. For nothing else, we should do it for blessings.”
Elena felt a slight air of danger, and what Jacqueline said made her a little upset.
Jacqueline didn’t give her time to reply, and directly took and petted her hand, “Elena, it’s a traditional custom in our family, you…you won’t ignore it, right?”
“Custom?”
Logan laughed, “Why don’t I know this custom?”
Jacqueline just showed a smile, “You were little at that time, and then you left the family. It’s natural that you don’t know about it.”
Logan showed an ironic smile. Looking at his smile, Jacqueline can hardly keep her smile on her face, then she said, “Forget that! It’s the past thing. But it’s not appropriate if you don’t pray.”
“Take it!”
Elena stared at him, as if she would be angry if he took it off.
Nothing else to do, Logan just smiled and nodded, “Ok, I take it.”
He was in a black trench coat, which made him look cold. But this red scarf made him look much warmer.
Elena rested assured. She looked around, seeing nobody. She suddenly reached out and covered his face with her hands. Her hands were cold, and she said with a serious look, “Come back soon.”
With curved lips, Logan kissed her on her hand, which made Elena still there.
Logan petted on her face. “Ok, go in there. It’s cold here.”
Elena nodded obediently and then ran into the café shop.
Looking at the happy figure, Logan cannot collect his smile.
He drove for a while, then his phone rang. It’s from Kent. “The road ahead is blocked by a small car accident. Now if you go there and just do as Jacqueline said, you will be blocked there, and then …there will be a chain reaction crash.”
Kent said slowly, and Logan narrowed his eyes. “Jacqueline has been making traps to let me die in a car accident. She really loves car accident tricks.”
Kent laughed, “I am afraid that she has been thinking it’s ok for you to be disabled if you don’t die in the car accident.”
“Yes?” Logan gave a small snort of laughter, “Now I am afraid her plan will work in vain.”
It was fated that Logan will look down upon Jacqueline.
