Her Sweetness 6

"Ming... Obviously, the one who told me to leave first was you..."

"Lu... Logan, you... you even said you wanted to call the police on me and make me pay back the money. You're the one who let me go, and now you're the one asking me to come back... You... you... what do you think I am, Logan? Don't think that just because you say a few nice words now, I... I will come back to be your Mrs. Lee..."

Skyler was flustered, her little face completely red.

Because when he spoke, his breath was too close, and it tickled her ear.

She instinctively wanted to step back, to put some safe distance between them.

Logan, this man, is just too unreasonable!

She still had a lot of anger in her heart.

It was Logan who broke her ring for no reason.

It was Logan who told her to terminate the contract for no reason.

It was Logan who ended everything between them!

So why was he now sticking so close to her and speaking so seriously?

"Don't be too full of yourself. My words have no other meaning."

The man raised his cold eyebrows, his expression calm and unreadable.

"I just want to inform you that our contract will not be terminated for now. You don’t need to pay back the 1.2 million, and you can still sit in your Mrs. Lee’s seat. How about it, Skyler? This time, things are going just as you planned. You’ve won again."

His voice was low and hoarse, without a trace of emotion in his deep, dark eyes.

"W-what? I've won?"

Skyler frowned.

When had she ever schemed against him?

"Logan, what the hell do you mean? When did I ever—"

"Just a few minutes after you ran away, my grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill and was rushed to the ICU for emergency treatment."

Logan's words completely cut off Skyler’s voice.

"What? Uncle Wilson... How could this happen?"

Just during the day, when she spoke to Uncle Wilson, he had been full of energy and seemed perfectly fine.

"Is Uncle Wilson okay?" she asked anxiously.

"The doctors acted in time, and his life was saved."

Logan’s face remained grim.

"But the doctor said that from now on, Grandpa needs to rest completely and must not be disturbed by any outside stress. Skyler, I hope you can continue to cooperate and play the role of a good granddaughter-in-law while he recovers. Don't cause him any more trouble."

Skyler took a sharp breath.

Why was he saying it like she was the one making trouble for Uncle Wilson?

Wasn’t it always Logan who had issues with his grandfather?

When she was still working as Uncle Wilson's caregiver, she had heard him complain more than once about his grandson always going against him.

"Don't act all innocent."

As if reading her thoughts, Logan suddenly reached out and pinched her small face between his fingers.

"If you hadn't gone to Grandpa to borrow 200,000 yuan so recklessly, he wouldn’t have started doubting our relationship. Because of that, he got too worried, and the doctor said his sudden illness was largely due to emotional stress. You know, even when he was in the ICU, the old man still sent his people to check on us."

"Grandpa’s assistant, Elijah, has already moved into the apartment. From now on, he will be watching us closely. Don’t let him see through anything. To make sure Grandpa doesn't get worse, I had someone bring you back ahead of time. Pack up your things. From tonight on, you’ll be here—sleeping with me."

"I'm... supposed to sleep with you? Together?" Skyler's face turned even redder, and she almost bit her tongue.

How could she sleep in the same bed as Logan?

"No, I... I don't want to..." Without hesitation, Skyler immediately rejected Logan's proposal.

She hadn't forgotten how he looked down on her.

Nor had she forgotten how he smashed the ring that was so important to her without even asking.

She had just managed to escape and didn't want to fall into the trap again!

Skyler pushed Logan hard. "The relationship between Mr. Lee and me has already ended. If you need someone to play the role of Mrs. Lee, you can find someone else. I'm sorry, I can't play this game..."

However, Skyler had just stood up when a long, slender hand stopped her at the waist and pushed her back onto the bed.

Before she could resist, her petite body was tightly held between the arms of the tall man.

He stared at her panicked eyes with a cold tone. "Skyler, it seems you haven't realized that this role-playing game was never yours to end."

"Why... why..." She was about to retort, but Logan's long fingers pinched her chin.

The man's cold and narrow eyes revealed an inexplicable depth.

His slightly calloused fingertips grazed lightly over the soft flesh of Skyler's chin, neither too heavy nor too light.

Skyler's body trembled uncontrollably.

This man... he had been too close for too long. This Logan was dangerous and unfamiliar.
