The cab driver asked for her destination, but she couldn’t tell him the address for a moment. She had cracked many cases before and knew that once a man started to lie, that was the point when he started to misbehave.
Many things passed through her mind. Maybe Logan had accumulated too much frustration after spending a period of time with her and went out to release the pent-up feelings because he simply couldn’t take it anymore.
Logan had never lied to her before, and he wasn’t a liar based on his personality either. Despite that, he was obviously lying to her now.
Holding her face in her palms, she slowly sank lower into the seat. Upon seeing this, the driver didn’t urge her, but started driving away steadily instead.
A few minutes later, he asked, “Are you okay, miss?”
Lola didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally, she wiped her face with her palms; there were no tears, but her expression was incredibly sad.
Taking a deep breath, she told him, “I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong.”
Then, she told him the address. In the end, she still chose to return home.
On the way home, she thought about many things.
Just earlier, Logan had been to meet her family. If they really made a mistake at this time, it would turn out to be a huge joke, and right now, she felt that she was caught in a dilemma.
If she were to break up with Logan just like this, her family would become the laughing stock of the town and she couldn’t even begin to imagine how they would be mocked.
An ordinary girl like her dated a rich man, but she didn’t manage to seal the deal to become an enviable, rich young lady.
At the same time, she couldn’t bring herself to tolerate this either. This wasn’t an issue which could be forgotten with an apology and a bridal price of a few million.
