Facing him, Lola lifted her fist and hit him on his chest. “You really scared the hell out of me. You don’t know how
frightened I was.”
Unable to hold her tears any longer, she started crying in earnest.
Initially, Logan was still frowning, for he didn’t get what Lola was saying. When Lola embraced him and started
crying, he asked, “You said you went to the clubhouse yesterday? When was it?”
With most of her tears smeared on his shirt, Lola said, “Around evening, but you weren’t there.” Almost by reflex,
she pinched Logan’s waist. “I’ve asked you so many times, but you just kept lying.”
By then, the gym trainers and members had come down from the building.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince they were unaware of the whole situation, all of them had a confused expression.
With her eyes flooded with tears, Lola still held onto him, as she felt so sorry for Logan. On the previous day, he had
spent so much time working on this event, but when he got home, she was pulling a long face at him. On the way to
work this morning, she even said such hurtful words toward him. Now that she thought about it, he must have been
so excited over the surprise, but she was being downright mean toward him.
The more Lola thought about it, the more sorry she felt, as she held him even closer toward her.
Slowly raising his hands to hug her, Logan said in a lowered voice, “So the reason why you acted that way was just
because you thought I was lying to you yesterday?”
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Lola could only wipe her tears on him.
Logan was still hesitant, so he went on to ask, “About what you said in the car just now, were those all just excuses?
You didn’t mean it right?”
Holding onto his waist, Lola explained, “You’ve been gone for so long yesterday, and you lied to me, so of course I’ll
be suspicious. You can’t blame me for it, because it’s your fault for not being honest with me.”
Upon thinking about it, Logan asked, “So does this mean that the early phase for our relationship is over?”
Hearing that, Lola tightened her grip on him.
With the corner of his mouth quirked up, Logan finally felt relieved. As they stood at the side, the gym trainers and
members weren’t sure what was going on. “I guess he proposed? Those are happy tears, right?” Another person

commented hesitantly, “Probably. Otherwise, why would she be crying?” When Logan heard that, he was reminded
of his plans for the day. Hence, he patted Lola’s back and asked, “Do you still need me to propose?” Smiling, Lola
wiped the tears off her face and stood up straight with her head held up high. “Why not? It’s a once in a lifetime
experience after all. Besides, we shouldn’t waste your effort in setting up all of this.” Holding her hands in his, Logan
felt an indescribable sense of contentment. With the whole group of people, everyone made their way up back to
the gym. In the hall which was nicely decorated by Logan, he knelt down and took out a ring box. Obviously, this
was Logan’s first time experiencing such an emotional roller-coaster—from being so furious to becoming this
nervous. He couldn’t help but turn scarlet, especially when everyone around him was looking at them so intently.
Drawing in a deep breath, Logan opened the ring box. “Lola…” Before he could even say anything, Lola took the
ring from him and wore it on her finger. “I do!!” Seeing how impatient she was, everyone roared out in laughter.
One of the gym trainers even yelled, “What are you waiting for? Kiss the girl!” With that, everyone started to cheer
along. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Standing up, Logan didn’t hesitate and pulled Lola in for a kiss.
