Chapter 22: Chapter 23

The next second, Logan flipped her on the mattress, and covered her mouth with his hand. “Hope, you have to sleep, alright?”

His pupils turned into purplish color as he used hypnosis to make her sleep. Logan would never take advantage of Hope in her drunk state.

Hope’s eyes slowly closed as she finally drifted off to sleep. As he made her asleep straight on the bed after covering her from the duvet, a knock was heard on the door.

Opening the door, Logan was met by the maid, who informed him that dinner was prepared as per Hope’s request.

Logan rubbed his forehead and told the maid he would soon be downstairs. She bowed and left his sight. Logan checked on his wife once again, making sure she was fine in her sleep.

Logan went downstairs after taking his phone with him and sat for dinner. However, in absence of Hope, he could not take a single morsel. It’s been only a few days and Hope already became a part of his life.

Logan left the dinner without eating anything and entered the garden for some time. He looked at the sky and then at the half-

moon. “Can | really fall in love again? Is Hope the answer to all my miseries?” Logan murmured to it.

“Master Logan!” Camila’s voice disturbed him and he lowered his head to tilt it slightly to glance at her. “When did you return?

Did everything go well after Hope and | left the reception?” Logan queried her.

Camila approached him and stood next to him.

“Your grandfather was worried at first. But everyone thought you two needed a break, so the reception ended slowly,” Camila explained. “Hope looked disturbed after the wine accidentally fell on her dress. Is she fine now? | hope you didn’t have any argument,” she said.

“Hope was upset with me since we didn’t communicate well for these three days. However, | cleared misunderstandings with her.

She is fine and is sleeping in my bedroom,” Logan briefed, escaping the details about the event.

“Well, Master did start ignoring Hope in these three days. She told me how Master Logan planned to take her to the dress shop, but cancelled it suddenly.

expensive gift for her,” Camila stated. She didn’t get tired while praising about Hope.

“Camila, you got too close to Hope. It seems she shares everything with you,” Logan remarked.

“Well, yes. She considers me as her aunt, Camila said with a smile.

“What more did she share with you?” Logan was inquisitive to know.

“That Master Logan provides her the warmth. She was never respected by her people, but her husband makes sure not to disrespect her. She was foolish to run away from him. She doesn’t want to anger Master Logan,” Camila narrated to him.

He chose to remain silent, not wanting to respond to Camila related to that.

“Master Logan doesn’t need to fear anymore. He won't lose in love this time. What if it’s his second chance? If he asks a child from Hope and then tell her to leave his life, the s will he stay happily?” Camila told Logan to think once in that perspective.

“| cannot bear another heartbreak, Camila. It still pains how | lost Olivia,” Logan truthfully told him.

“Master Logan doesn’t wish to give himself a second chance. What if he regrets his choice later?” Camila questioned him.

“My biggest regret was losing Olivia. | won’t regret my choice,” Logan said with a confident tone. “Good night.” He then went inside to his bedroom.

Camila shook her head as she watched Logan leaving. “I just pray that Logan doesn’t keep himself restricted of the love his wife is ready to give him,” she said with a genuine concern.

The next morning when Logan woke up, he didn’t find Hope next to him on the mattress. In fact, she wasn’t in his room. “Did she wake up early?” Logan checked the time and saw it was already 7:45 am.

“What? How could | sleep so much?” Logan mumbled and got off the bed.

After freshening up, taking a bath, he went downstairs. It was weekend, so he didn’t have to go to office. He had his morning coffee while reading the newspaper.

“Where’s Hope?” Logan asked as he placed the newspaper on the glass table before him.

Logan tilted his head and saw Hope dressed in a floral, below-knee length dress. “Are you going somewhere?” He asked.

“No.” Hope refused.

“Then, why have you worn such a dress?” Logan arched his eyebrow at her.

“To charm you,” Hope replied and quickly walked away.

Logan left puzzled with her response whileCamila smiled. “Did she lose her brain last night?” He murmured. His phone rang and he saw the name flashing on it.

Answering the call, Logan put it near his ear.

“Sir, Mrs. Hope's parents were at the office since last night. Before the matter stretches. to the police, should | bring to your villa?” Paul inquired..

“Those leeches!” Logan cursed under his breath. “Yes, bring them here,” he ordered and disconnected the call.

“What happened, Master Logan?” Camila inquired.

“Hope's parents are creating problems,” Logan replied. “Is breakfast ready? I’m hungry,” he said. Without hearing to Camila, he headed to the room where breakfast table was set already.

He was surprised to learn that Hope prepared all that. She placed a glass of fresh orange juice for him and then began serving the food to him. “Dear husband, everything here. is of your choice. So, you'll definitely enjoy this food,” Hope said affectionately.

“Hope, why don’t you sit to eat as well?” Logan queried.

“Sure.” Hope took a seat beside him.
