CHAPTER 51: I AM MARRIED!

Meanwhile, the Meyer family all had the same expression, blooming smiles on their faces, as they had an inkling of what was about to be said.

They couldn't wait to see the expression of the Hilary family.

"What could it be that he wants to share with us?"

"Something that can be announced at such an event. If it isn't a marriage, then it can only be a partnership. A great one on top of that."

Those who weren't interested in Logan romantically couldn't help but share their thoughts in whispers as they waited for the bomb to be dropped.

And when the bomb dropped and exploded, the reaction from the crowd was something that wouldn't be forgotten, ever.

"I find this moment very suitable for me to share this good news with everyone. For over five years, most of you have been worried about my marital affairs and for your concern, I want to say thank you," he said flatly as he looked at everyone, his standing posture very handsome, making Anna's heart thump loudly at the news that was about to be shared.

"This is why today I will be sharing with you about that matter everyone had been concerned with. I finally found my other half ….." he dragged his words as he observed the crowd before his gaze landed on Anna and this time he didn't look away.

In fact, his lips drew into an arc, smiling as he looked at her. And that act was enough to make the crowd go crazy and, above all, the person being looked at, raise her head high like a peacock, feeling triumphant like a winner.

'I did it!' she cheered herself as she looked fondly at Logan, who was still looking at her, finding him more attractive than before.

At least, the man has a great choice.

Unfortunately, she wasn't prepared for what was coming next.

 ***

When Madam Hilary saw the way Logan was looking at her daughter, her heart skipped and felt excitement coursing through her body at the thought of bringing this son-in-law permanently into the family.

She couldn't help but urge her daughter to stand on her feet, despite Logan not having finished his words.

Anna was overwhelmed with happiness. She became clouded and her mind didn't think straight. She who was clever and quick-witted, for the first time, or rather facing the man she had loved for so many years, didn't think clearly or wondered if the person who was being talked about was her or not.

The others, seeing that, didn't dare utter a word. What if they say something and end up provoking the Meyers? They could only grit their teeth and clench their fists, with unwillingness written all over their faces.

Alice, on the other hand, didn't bother to hide her confusion and shock as she looked at Anna, her expression clearly asking, 'What are you doing?'

Those who were paying attention to the Meyers saw Alice's reaction as well as the rest of the family and suddenly felt excited.

'A drama is coming!' they could sense it.

Bertha, noticing that as well, loosened her fists as a smile blossomed on her face.

She nearly caused havoc and wronged her friend. It seemed that Logan wasn't an idiot as she thought.

Logan on the other side, his lips curled into a smirk upon seeing Anna on her feet, shamelessly insinuating that she was the person that he was talking about.

Didn't she have a brain?

They barely talked, and he never showed any interest in her before, so how come she thought that she was the one who was fit to be his other half?

What a shameless person!

Since her sister dared to cause trouble and treated him badly all these years, it was his turn to return the favor. So, what if he made the family lose face today?

It wasn't him who made the mother and daughter so stupid to assume other people's thoughts.

Without further ado, he continued where he stopped, and this time everyone was holding their breath, just waiting to hear if the confirmation was real or false.

Logan continued to look at the shy Anna as he said, "I have found my other half, and it is someone that some of you know, heard about and some you don't," his words made those who were listening have question marks over their heads.

What was he talking about?

They all knew Anna, so what was Logan insinuating? Could it be that Anna wasn't the person that Logan was talking about?

At this juncture, even Anna, who was holding her head high a moment ago, suddenly felt that something wasn't right.

When her mind started clearing, it was already too late, as Logan finally dropped the bomb.

"I am now a married man. A happily married one on top of that, and I want to use this platform to share this amazing news with everyone. My wife, due to some health issues, couldn't be here with us. Otherwise, I would have happily introduced her to all of you. This is a happy day for me, my family and all of you, friends, and close acquaintances gathering together with me. I felt that this was the right place to share this news with you," with a genuine smile on his face, and love oozing from his body, Logan couldn't hide the fact that he was in love with this mysterious wife of his.

The guests at hearing that their jaws were already on the ground, many palms had been dug and blood was drawn.

Meanwhile, those who love eating melons were currently stifling their laughter, tears streaming down their cheeks as they looked at Anna, who looked very stupid and like a cat that had been poured cold water.

How could a person be shameless?

It took Anna some time to digest what she had just heard and by the time it clicked, all eyes were on her, and she could see the mocking gazes of everyone.

Anna felt like she didn't have a place to hide as she was being openly mocked and scrutinized like that.

When she thought of how she shamelessly stood as she looked shyly at Logan a moment ago, her eyes were filled with hatred as she turned her head to look at Alice.

There was no way that Alice didn't know that her brother was married.

She had been set up.

Thinking like that, she glared ferociously at Alice, her body trembling with anger as she pointed accusingly at her.
