Logan was restless after hanging up the phone with Rosalyn. Flashbacks of his mother’s face kept popping up in his head. Gabriella was right; his memories of his mother were always filled with sadness; she was always crying and always missing someone.
One day, before Ellory was born, his mother asked him if he would blame her if she went to pursue her freedom. For a few days, his mother seemed unusually happy, as if she were looking forward to something. But he had no idea when she went back to her usual gloomy self.
He told his dad that his mom wanted to go after her freedom, and he even asked if that meant she didn't want him anymore. Logan remembered how worried he was—scared that he’d end up a child without a mother.
Later… Logan sat in his office chair, unable to remember what happened next. All he could recall was when his mother was pregnant with Ellory. If she wanted to leave, why would she get pregnant? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he got.
Just then, his phone rang, jolting him out of his thoughts. It was Kelsey. Logan sighed and answered, "Hey babe, what's up?"
Kelsey chuckled on the other end. "Dad just called and said he needed to come over to get something… I've never been alone with him; can you come back?"
"Get something?" Logan frowned, subconsciously standing up and heading out. "Did he say what he was looking for?"
"No."
"I'll be right there!"
Logan hung up the phone and hurriedly left the office. He was on high alert when it came to Grant. Even though he didn't know what Grant was looking for, the fact that he called Kelsey instead of him seemed fishy.
His home was a short drive away from the office—about ten minutes. When he got home, Kelsey was out. He called her and found out she was at a nearby fruit shop.
Logan loosened his tie, sat on the couch, had a sip of iced tea, and the doorbell rang. Kelsey could unlock the door with her fingerprint, so it couldn't be her.
He got up with a stern face and opened the door. Grant had a warm smile on his face, but the moment he saw Logan, his expression turned serious. "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"
"I had something to take care of. what are you doing here?" Logan stood in the doorway, blocking Grant from entering.
"Good, I have something to discuss with you." Grant said, pushing past Logan and striding in.
Logan: "…"
Sometimes he really wished someone would tell him that Grant wasn't actually his father.
