Skyler had heard Logan mention these excuses beforehand.
However, Elijah said that Logan personally brought people to rescue her in the alley across from A University last night, but she had no impression of it at all.
Skyler desperately tried to recall the scene from last night.
She recalled until her temples throbbed and her forehead ached.
Suddenly, in a flash, those clouds that seemed to be shrouding her memory were suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.
The memories of last night slowly pieced together in her mind.
Under the street lamp, the man walked towards her step by step, against the light at the entrance of the alleyway.
He was wearing a black suit, black leather shoes, and black gloves.
At her most helpless and desperate moment, she looked up and saw the backlit face of the man approaching her.
The man's features were handsome and rigid, with a jawline similar to Liam's sharp one, but his eyes were deeper and darker.
She should have realized it earlier.
Liam had already left the country with Olivia.
The man who saved her last night couldn't be Liam.
It was... Logan!
That night.
Even that delicate and fair foot trembled with her pressing fingers.
Skyler sat there, emitting a seductive but unaware aura.
Seeing this alluring scene, Logan's cold eyes grew even darker.
Chapter 32: Intoxicated by Gentleness 2.
"What are you doing?"
A low, hoarse voice suddenly came from the door, startling Skyler, who was massaging her ankle in pain. Her hand involuntarily pressed down harder.
"Um..."
She bit her lip and whimpered.
The voice that flowed out of her rosy lips was so sweet that it carried an unintentional seductive tone, which Logan could not help but notice.
Logan frowned slightly, his dark eyes becoming even more intense.
Skyler sat there, holding the medicine bottle, feeling helpless.
Logan had returned without her noticing and had silently appeared at the door.
In just a few steps, he had walked up to her.
His tall and sturdy figure stood before her like an unattainable mountain.
He didn't say anything, just looked down at her with a cold and disdainful expression.
His large hand, clad in black leather gloves, was casually inserted into his suit pocket, his demeanor cold and indifferent.
Skyler's heart tightened involuntarily.
She had stayed up late tonight just to thank the man in front of her in person, even though every encounter they had before could only be described as "unpleasant."
But yesterday, in the back alley, when she was at her most desperate, it was this man who had saved her.
The man she had been longing for, Liam, had never shown up.
All of it was just her illusion.
Liam had long stopped believing in her and didn't want her anymore.
The only person who reached out to her in her darkest moment was Logan.
Skyler pursed her lips and tried to speak, "You're back. Um, I want to tell you..."
"Hand it over," Logan's cold voice interrupted her.
"Huh?" Skyler's eyes narrowed for a moment before she realized he was talking about the bottle of ointment in her hand.
She hesitantly handed over the bottle.
"What do you want this for...ah..."
Logan's long fingers took the bottle from her, and his other hand grasped her small, soft foot.
Skyler was taken aback by Logan's sudden action and slipped forward. But before she could fall, he caught her by the waist with a strong arm and lifted her onto the black bed behind her.
"Master Lee, what are you doing..."
Her cheeks flushed abnormally, and her watery eyes looked at him in confusion and fear.
Skyler never expected Logan to carry her onto the bed.
And she definitely didn't expect him to take off his gloves and apply the ointment to her ankle with his large hand.
"He's giving her medicine!"
"Medicine, not the way you do it."
Logan's voice was as cold and icy as his entire being.
But the palm of his hand that covered her left ankle was scorching hot.
Skyler instinctively wanted to pull her ankle out of his hand.
"I...I understand, I can do it myself..."
"If you do it yourself, it won't heal for three months. And then, the only person my grandfather will blame is me."
His slender fingers closed around her small, shrinking foot.
His right palm rubbed the pale green ointment onto her slightly swollen ankle.
Then, without warning, he gradually increased the pressure.
Skyler: "!!!"
She bit her lip tightly, trying not to cry out in pain.
Logan's strength was obviously heavier and more intense than when she massaged herself.
As he pushed his palm on her ankle, Skyler's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, her eyelashes trembling lightly, and even her small face turned red.
It hurts so much...
There was still bruising on her ankle, and she didn't dare to use too much force on it.
But Logan seemed to be unaware of her pain, and his strength increased with each passing moment.
She suspected that he was deliberately punishing her!
Skyler bit her lip and looked at the man who was focused on rubbing away the swelling, hoping he would stop soon.
As soon as her lips parted, Logan's large hand pressed down heavily.
"Mmm...ah..."
Finally, a soft moan escaped uncontrollably from her lips.
Logan's movements under his palm paused slightly on her delicate and fair skin.
He frowned and lifted his narrow, dark eyes.
In his sight, she had tears in her eyes, her long black hair slightly disheveled, and she looked like a delicate and soft person who had just been bullied.
"Skyler..."
He suddenly called her name.
His voice was low and dangerous.
"Do you know what 'Mrs. Lee's obligations' in that agreement include?"
