Crises in Love novel Chapter 352

Hannah couldn't contain her smirk when she heard me, teasingly remarking, "Well, I'll be darned. Even Logan, the eternal bachelor, is finally falling in love."

"The right person at the right moment—anything is possible. Love knows no boundaries, it can transcend borders and societal norms. Who knows, maybe you'll be struck by cupid's arrow out of the blue," I said, nudging Hannah playfully. "I never asked you. Do you have a boyfriend?"

She shook her head emphatically, dismissing the idea. "Nope, ain't got the time for that kind of hassle."

"Hassle? How can you call it a hassle? Love is supposed to be sweet," I countered.

Despite our new acquaintance, Hannah and I clicked instantly. We were like peanut butter and jelly—perfect together. In my eyes, she was like the little sister I never had.

She rolled her eyes at my idealism. "Oh, please. Sweet? I've seen 'sweet' and let me tell you, it isn't always a piece of cake. Just take a look at yourself—how 'sweet' is it going for you? Nearly got yourself wiped off the map because of it."

It was clear she cared, even if she had a funny way of showing it. Her ribbing came from a place of affection.

I was momentarily lost for words.

After a while, I sighed and said, "Yeah, my life could be considered a cautionary tale. It's so unusual, it's borderline legendary. Perhaps when the shades of old age set in, I'll pen down my experiences in a book—a beacon of guidance for saints and sinners alike."

Hannah giggled, then said, "I've got to hand it to our boss—talk about loyalty!"

Without thinking, I blurted out, "Which boss?"

I immediately realized I'd walked right into her trap.

She coolly replied, "Don't you know? Are you playing dumb? The antique he wears on his wrist has been there for years. He was nearly a goner the last time he got hurt, and his first thought upon waking was to find that thing. Drove us all nuts."

"Got hurt?" I caught the serious part of her story and asked in shock.

She glanced at me and downplayed it, "Yeah, just an injury."
