Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 77

After Logan finished the board meeting, he knew Yolanda was going to work in the secretary department. He responded with great disagreement. “Why the secretary department? I remember that there are some vacancies in the warehouse.”

Send Yolanda to work in the warehouse? Ouch!

“Any objection?” Logan asked.

“Of course not! I will handle it now. Don’t worry about it.” Jacob answered.

Logan nodded. Thinking of Elena, he couldn’t wait to see her. But when he opened this door, he found that Elena just fell asleep on the bed.

Jacob didn’t want to disturb them, so he left quietly, leaving them alone.

Elena was sleepy because he kept her waiting for so long. The sound of the movie was like a lullaby, sending her into the land of Nod in no time. When she woke up, she found that Logan was looking at her.

When did he come here? And how long had he been staring at her? Elena’s face was turning red instantly. She pulled the blanket to cover herself, only revealing her eyes. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I am wondering what is the difference between you and others.” There were so many people out here. But he just fell in love with her and only her.

“So do you get the answer? What’s the difference? I have a pair of eyes and one mouth, just like anyone else.” She couldn’t help smiling, and tried to tease him, “The difference is my extraordinary beauty, isn’t it?”

“You’re very beautiful.” Logan said earnestly.

Elena was surprised by his reply. Her face was turning even redder because of his admiration.

But the next moment, he said, “You wish.”

“…” She got angry with his joke and rubbed his face ruthlessly, “So you are implying I am not pretty enough?”

She was rubbing his face? Logan was surprised because no one ever dared to do that. But he smiled, enjoying her touch.

After a while, she stopped and asked him, “Did you finish your work?”

“Yes. We can go home now.”

“Oh, really?” She was impressed by his high efficiency. She thought she needed to wait for a whole day.

Logan smiled, “Do you think I will hire idlers?”

Hearing his words, Elena guessed that she might be one of them.

Logan held her hand and caressed her arm gently. She looked at him with a smile and said, “Let’s visit Grandma Becky, shall we?”

She remembered Logan mentioned visiting her earlier.

“Good. I will call Grandma Becky now. She might stay at the old villa.” Logan agreed.

Elena also held his hand tightly, looking at him in expectation. What did Grandma Becky look like? Was she as gentle as Logan’s mother? Or quite different?

Grandma Becky’s house was located in the suburbs. It was a quiet and peaceful place for the elder. And she inherited great fortune from Grandpa Finn, so she could afford to enjoy a happy life care-freely.

It took them three hours to get there by car. Her house was located halfway up the hill.

“Sir, here we are.” Carter, Logan’s driver, opened the car door for them.

Through the open gate, Elena saw no man and asked curiously, “Maybe Grandma Becky is not at home?”

“I’ll see what’s going on.” Carter knocked on the door. Though it was open for everyone, he didn’t just walked in out of politeness.

“Logan? My grandson!” An old lady with a straw hat appeared suddenly from behind. She was holding some fresh vegetables in her arms.

Logan looked at her happily. Elena pushed him to Grandpa Becky at once. She looked quite good. Just a moment ago, she thought there was no vegetable at home, so she picked some fresh ones for them. And then they met at the right time.

“How are you, Grandma Becky.” Logan held her hands so tightly.

Grandma Becky nodded in great joy, “I am great! Yesterday I cleared a land and planned to plant watermelons there. Then we can have it in summer.”

Grandma Becky welcomed them and led them into the house. “I don’t hire any maid but a housekeeper. You know, I don’t like too many people around. But the housekeeper isn’t here now. She has a new-born grandson and left to take care of her family for some days.”

She looked at Logan with affection and patted him on his shoulder. “Look at you. You look so handsome, just like your Grandpa Finn. What a pity! Your mother didn’t listen to us and married Cornel, which made your grandpa so angry. They had a heavy quarrel and now so many years had passed...”

Grandma Becky and Grandpa Finn regretted a lot after Logan’s mother died. If they cared more about her, maybe things would have changed now.

And at last, his mother’s death made them understand that it wouldn’t happen in that way if they cared her more.

“Grandma, let the past be the past. We should move on.”

Grandma Becky wiped her tears, and said, “You are right. Look at me. It’s such a nice day and I mentioned this. We should forget it. Finn wouldn’t be happy to hear that if he were still alive.”

Grandma Becky sounded so sad and lonely. Elena comforted. “Grandma, we are so glad to see you today.”

Grandma Becky turned to Elena. “Oh, you are Logan’s wife, Elena? You look so adorable.” “Grandma, we brought some gifts to you. Hope you like it.”

Carter took all gifts from the car, including fresh fruit and nutritious food. Grandma Becky smiled and accepted. “You are so sweet and thoughtful. But I have everything. Don’t bother bringing gifts next time.”

Seeing Grandma Becky looking so healthy, Logan was happy, too. When he was a child, he heard a lot about his grandparents from his mother. But he had never seen them before. After he grew up, he decided to visit them and got closer to them later.

Grandma Becky sighed, “How time flies. I am old and you all grow up so quickly.”

Elena heard this and felt a little sad somehow. Maybe Logan and she should visit Grandma Becky more often in the future.
