Gradually, Jasmine came to a stop with her lips pulled into a thin line, her eyes on the verge of tears. She didn’t
understand why Logan would leave her behind just like that even though he saw her. After standing there for some
time, she wiped her tears away before retrieving her phone.
Truth be told, she wasn’t sure why she waited there, nor did she know what she wanted to do. Although she didn’t
have anything specific to tell him, the fact that she didn’t get to have a word with him despite having seen him felt
off. The feeling intensified when she realized neither Logan nor Lola had anything to tell her.
Thus, she gave Logan a call, but Lola was the one who answered the phone instead of Logan. With a gentle voice,
Lola addressed Jasmine. “Miss Xanthos.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPursing her lips, Jasmine only managed a single question after a long while. “Why are you the one who picked up
the call?”
Lola smiled as she replied, “Logan couldn’t answer the phone as he was driving. I’ve switched the speakerphone on,
so you can speak to him directly.”
How could I talk to him with the speakerphone on? I don’t even want her to hear what I have to say. After some
hesitation, she spoke up. “Logan, will you have time to spare later on? Let’s meet up.”
However, Logan wasn’t about to follow her lead. “Why should we meet up? You can tell me whatever you need me
to know over the phone. We don’t really have anything important that would warrant a meetup.”
Logan’s outright refusal rendered Jasmine speechless. After waiting for some time, Logan got a little impatient as
Jasmine remained silent. “Is there anything else that you would want me to know? You can hang up if you have
nothing to say, as I’m driving.
” Upon noticing that Jasmine wasn’t about to speak, Logan told Lola, “You can hang up now.” Without hesitating,
Lola hung up the call, and he snorted after that. “What was she even thinking about?” Their breakup was swift and
clean, nor did Logan give her a sliver of hope of them getting back together, as he was determined that they would
revert to being strangers altogether. Even if they did have feelings for each other, Logan didn’t deem them fit to be
friends as they used to date, nor did he ever think of becoming friends with her in the first place, so ignoring each
other was the best possible choice. However, Jasmine seemed to think differently, whereas Logan hated people
who lacked the resolve to move forward. Meanwhile, Lola put his phone away before smiling at him. “Miss Xanthos
might be angry at herself for being a dummy who fell for someone like you. You sure don’t know how to treat
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpeople delicately.” Upon hearing her comment, Logan took her hand and intertwined their fingers. “I will only be
delicate with you, while everyone else is just dogsh*t.” The manner in which he explained it left Lola feeling
conflicted on whether she should agree with him or correct him. After that, he drove her back to the gym. Although
the number of visitors would typically increase during the afternoon, Lola wasn’t nearly as busy, so the two of them
couldn’t help but leave the gym after spending some time cooped up in it. Having finally started dating each other,
they wanted more time to themselves. They wound up strolling hand-in-hand by the streets downstairs. In the
meantime, Lola told him about her father’s worries regarding Logan’s family. His main concern was that the Hunts
could hardly compare to the Jeffersons in terms of status, so he feared that Lola might be mistreated due to that.
Logan remained standing on the spot while turning Lola around so that they could face each other. “Your father
should take a closer look at how our relationship works. Aren’t I the one at risk of being bullied here?”
