Her Sweetness 7

At that moment, Logan's cold and relaxed breath, tinged with a hint of smoke, suddenly invaded Skyler's nostrils.

His thin lips kissed away the tears that had gathered at the corners of Skyler's eyes.

"Good girl, be obedient and don't make things difficult for me," Logan said.

Skyler blinked, deliberately ignoring the strange feeling in her heart from Logan's kiss. Her cheeks were flushed, but she still didn't want to give up struggling. She still wanted to leave this place.

While she slept, his calloused fingertips finally stopped on her trembling lips.

His dark eyes were filled with a deep darkness as he looked down at her, his voice soft and soothing but devoid of warmth.

"You don't want to see your mother's hard-won surgery suddenly canceled by the hospital. You also don't want to see her exhausted and alone outside the hospital after you've been imprisoned for fraud and she's been kicked out because of it."

Skyler remained silent.

The icy calm tone pierced Skyler's heart deeply. She stood there, stunned, holding her breath in disbelief, her blood freezing in her veins. How could Logan... how could he be so despicable!

"You checked on me?!" she asked hoarsely.

Skyler was certain that Logan had no idea about her mother's scheduled surgery before this. He didn't know anything about her past!

"Checking on the goods you bought is perfectly normal," Logan said, his tone indifferent and quiet, as if he were discussing a matter of course. "During your coma, I had someone look into your information. Considering your mother's hospitalization and the need for money, I won't hold it against you for the tricks you played before. From now on, as long as you play the role of Mrs. Lee well and satisfy my grandfather, not only will the 1.2 million belong to you, but I can also arrange for the best experts to perform the surgery on your mother. Otherwise..."

"You'll go to jail, and your mother will be homeless. I guarantee that no hospital in Jin City will take her in!"

"No, Logan, you can't..." Skyler's voice choked, her eyes turning red instantly.

Even though she said Logan couldn't do it, she knew he could. He could say and do anything he wanted. Even his casual tone could make everything come true without any cold threats.

At this moment, the unease in her heart was even more overwhelming than when he said she was just a commodity.

"No, you know I can," the man said, towering over her. His large hand held her small chin as he admired the panic in her eyes with a cold and stern expression.

The ambiguous atmosphere from earlier had long disappeared. Logan was never a good man.

Since it was destined that this woman had to stay by his side, he would make the most of her.

He would break her spine and crush her restless thoughts, making her obediently follow him as Mrs. Lee.

No more greedy and despicable actions allowed.

Logan's slender fingers pinched Skyler's slightly trembling chin, watching her emotions collapse bit by bit.

She finally closed her eyes and let the panic and tears flow freely.

She knew Logan was right... she had no other choice. Even if it was just for her mother, she had to accept his conditions.

"Okay, I will try my best to play the role of Mrs. Lee. Master Lee, our contract... continues."

After a long while, Skyler's voice, filled with tears, finally broke the silence. A tear rolled down her cheek.

Logan's lips curved into a smile as he wiped away the tear with his slender fingers, cradling her trembling face and kissing her gently.

"Good girl, that's more like it, my Mrs. Lee."

Dong dong

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Young Master Lee, Old Master Wilson called from the hospital. He has urgent business with you," Elijah, Old Master Wilson's most trusted aide, entered the room.

Logan was currently pinning Skyler down on the bed. To outsiders, their position seemed extremely ambiguous.

Elijah's face briefly showed surprise upon entering but quickly returned to a calm expression.

Logan's eyes darkened slightly as he gave Skyler a deep look before getting off the bed.

The look was full of meaning, clearly indicating that she should be careful with her words and cooperate.

Logan casually picked up his phone. "Hello, Grandfather..."

Old Master Wilson's voice came through the receiver, sounding weak but also angry.

"I heard my granddaughter-in-law almost got into trouble outside... Logan, how did you take care of Skyler? How could you let her run out alone so late at night..."

"Grandpa, this was just an accident..."

Logan took his phone and went to the balcony.

Now, only Elijah and the extremely embarrassed Skyler were left in the bedroom.

Just now, the woman was still emotionally upset and had red eyes from being bullied by Logan.

But upon seeing Elijah push open the door and enter, her face was now only a shy blush.

Skyler pulled the blanket up to her chin, her eyes slightly unfocused, and pursed her lips as she nodded at Elijah standing at the foot of the bed. "Mr. Xiao, hello."

Skyler had known Elijah for a long time.

This young and promising man was adopted by Uncle Wilson. Although he was an adopted son, he had always been Uncle Wilson's right-hand man, taking care of his body and company affairs.

He was one hundred percent loyal to Old Master Wilson and was someone that Logan could never buy off.

Skyler's eyelashes drooped slightly as her gaze flickered.

No wonder Logan had specially brought her back to act in this play...

Old Master Wilson suspected their marital relationship and had sent Elijah over to keep an eye on them.

If Logan didn't turn this fake play into a real one, he would never be able to fool Old Master Wilson.
