Startled, Logan wore a frown while Jasmine discarded the torn check. “I didn’t date you because of your money. You can rest assured that we will have nothing to do with each other from now on.”
However, Logan didn’t seem to feel guilty about it. Seeing that she discarded his check, he realized that she didn’t want it, but that was all he had in mind. Now that he already did all he could to compensate her for her loss, the fact that she refused to take the check no longer concerned him. Therefore, he turned to get into his car without loitering any longer after giving a curt response.
Jasmine was rendered speechless as she stood on her spot, watching Logan’s car as it disappeared into the distance. Just a few moments ago, she was hoping to incite a crushing guilt within him during the last moments of their relationship, but her plan seemed to have failed. It was a miscalculation on her part.
Meanwhile, Logan sped back to the Constance Residence, only to see Sophia strolling with Lola when he got out of the car. They were talking about something before they both started to laugh. Logan rarely saw Lola laugh like that, and it made her look a little childish. Looking less serious, she seemed to have come alive. With her stern personality, Logan figured she should smile more to balance it out.
Instead of approaching them immediately, Logan leaned against the door of his car before lighting a cigarette that he took out from his cigarette case, puffing on it slowly while observing Lola with narrowed eyes. To be honest, she was a plain woman compared to Sophia. While the latter looked cute, had an easygoing personality, as well as a beautiful smile, Lola was none of the above, so Logan wondered why he would fall for a woman like her.
