Suddenly, it seemed utterly ridiculous: "You knew damn well I was dating Paige, yet you still happily set me up on a blind date..."
"What do you expect me to do? Should I just approve of you two being together, getting married? Then wouldn't my family fall apart?" Peyton stared at Logan intently. "And the person I set you up with isn't good enough? What's wrong with Kelsey Sharp? You're still thinking about my daughter?"
"Enough!" Logan exclaimed, his tone filled with exasperation. "Do you truly care about Paige, or are you merely interested in separating us for your own benefit? It's the resources, connections, and status of the Sharp family that truly drive you to push me towards meeting her, isn't it?" Logan's sarcastic smile faded as he spoke, his words becoming more serious. "The individuals you've sought out for Paige are of inferior quality, yet their family's resources would undoubtedly assist my father..."
"He's my husband. It's my duty to help him. Besides, Paige would live a luxurious life if she married into such a great family. What's so wrong with that?" Peyton said confidently.
Logan thought she was beyond help.
"Fine, if you don't want to divorce my dad, let it be." Logan looked away. "I just ask you one thing."
Peyton didn't respond.
"You know about me and Paige... Don't let her find out. It would break her heart." Logan finished, placing Peyton's medication and test results on a nearby chair before walking away without looking back.
How absurd.
For the past four years, he and Paige had worried about their parents finding out about their relationship, fearing they wouldn't be able to handle it.
Little did they know...
One was trying to control Paige through him, ensuring the money she earned would keep flowing into his pockets.
The other... for the sake of her own marriage, was determined to sell them off separately.
Peyton stood still, watching Logan walk further away, her heart racing. She wanted to chase after him but feared he would continue to persuade her to divorce.
In the end, she could only slump down on the chair, covering her face and crying helplessly.
She wasn't wrong.
Everything she did was for the good of the family!
