After a while, Logan smiled and walked towards her.
“Why did you bring me here?” Harper stared at him, thought, ‘Did he remember something?’
“I’m nning to buy thisnd to build a perfume factory,” Logan looked at her. “What’s wrong? Why are your eyes red?”
‘Oh, that’s why. He didn’t bring me here because he remembered. It’s better this way. Remembering now wouldn’t do him any good in this situation. These memories, even I’ve buried them.’ Harper thougt to herself.
“Is everything sorted out then?”
“Yes, let’s go.”
Next, Logan didn’t wander around anymore but headed straight to hispany. In no time, he handed her a thick folder. “Where are you heading next? I’ll drive you.”
“No need, I’ll just go to the subway station by myself,” Harper declined, clutching the folder to her chest.
“I’ll still take you to the subway station,” Logan insisted.
Harper wanted to say something, but Logan had already gone to unlock the car, so she reluctantly got back into his car.
The subway station was very close by.
As they arrived outside the station, Harper was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out when Logan suddenly spoke up, “The Davidson Group is in turmoil.”
“What?” Harper was taken aback.
“You know I have a sister. When I was young and blind, my father, ashamed of me, focused all his efforts on training my sister,” Logan looked ahead as he spoke, “Now, my father wants to support me. But my sister, beingpetitive, wants to vie for the CEO position with me. Talking about buyingnd to build a factory is also to make a name for myself and earn respect.”
So there was such a situation within The Davidson Group-a struggle between siblings.
‘No wonder he doesn’t have the typical newlywed happiness. Being the heir of The Davidson Group muste with a lot of burdens. But why is he telling me all this? Shouldn’t he share these burdens with his wife?’ Harper wondered.
“Really? Work is just work, don’t overwork yourself. Fiona and the baby are the ones who need you the most,” Harper said with concern.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Logan turned to look at her but didn’t say a word.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
“It’s nothing,” Logan shook his head, looking at her deeply.
“Well then, I’ll get off here. Thank you for helping me find the information,” Harper thanked him with a smile, then pushed open the car door and got out.
“Uh… see youter,” Logan watched her walk away, slim and beautiful, getting farther and farther away from him.
He thought of the tears in her eyes at the amusement park, and his hand clenched slowly on the steering wheel. There were still too many things unresolved.
The Davidson Group.
Fiona.
Nothing was resolved yet. He needed to solve everything before he could do anything else.
‘Just give me a little more time, wait for me a little longer, Harper.’ Logan thought to himself.
…
Harper returned to Sky Harbor and sat on the couch, opening the folder. For some reason, she felt that Logan had be somewhat strange. Ever since the wedding at Tranquil Haven Ind, when he ran off alone into the woods, everything had be very strange.
Leaning back on the couch, Harper flipped through the documents-
?Lena, 24, female, graduated from S City University.
As she continued reading, Harper discovered that Lena’s resume was quiteplicated. After graduating from university, she had been traveling to various countries, had several boyfriends, and had attended many dance,nguage, and art sses.
So Lena had been living quite freely all these years.
Now, Lena was a social media influencer and a flower arranger. Lena shared her colorful life and work online, attracting a lot of fans, especially male ones.
Without finishing reading all the documents, Harper anxiously took out her phone and dialed the number listed in the file.
She wanted to rify the truth from three years ago as soon as possible.
But it could not get through … Logan’s file had shown her three numbers, and she dialed each one, but they all could not get through.
Why were none of the calls going through? Were they temporarily switched off, or had Lena changed her number again?
After some thought, Harper took out her phone and found Lena’s Facebook ount.
Harper sent a message-
?Hi, Lena, I’m your college ssmate Harper. Where are you now? I need your help with something.
After sending the message, Harper put away the documents.
Lena had been found. The truth would be revealed soon. But until dusk, Lena’s phone still remained unreachable. There was no response to her message either.
“Is she busy?” Harper muttered to herself, tapping her phone.
“Busy with what? Harper, you’d better be thinking of me,” a low, sexy voice came.
The next moment, Harper was engulfed in an embrace. ze wrapped his arms around her from behind, lowering his head to kiss her cheek.
ze always liked to ambush her like this. Every time he came back, he was silent, and then suddenly he would embrace her from behind.
“You’re back,” Harper turned in his arms to face him. ze immediately lifted her chin with a finger and leaned down to kiss her lips, savoring their softness.
ze’s teeth pried apart her lips, his hot tongue delving into her mouth with fervor. One long arm tightened around her.
Just kissing wasn’t enough; he pushed her against the wardrobe, his thin lips grazing her face, her neck, his breath growing heavier.
‘Starting tomorrow, I have to take this woman to thepany. If I don’t see her for a day, it’s like I’m going through withdrawal, craving toe back.’ ze thought.
Harper was breathless from the intensity of the kiss.
After a while, ze finally released her. Harper’s cheeks were flushed from the kiss, and she reached up to touch her swollen lips.
“Bring in the dress.”
Dress?
At ze’smand, Dn entered carrying a ck dress.
“What’s this?” Harper asked, puzzled.
“Miss Shaw, this is a suit specially chosen for you by Master,” Dn exined, “It’s from Mn by Alisa, her designs are always highly sought after and expensive. This one is called ‘Night Sky’.”
It was a short ck dress, as ck as the night sky, made from a soft satin-like fabric. The A-line neckline design had a vintage feel, and the skirt seemed to be adorned with something like twinkling stars, shimmering.
“What a beautiful dress,” Harper eximed in amazement.
“Of course, I picked it.” ze smirked, sitting down on the nearby couch, “Change into it, we’re leaving.”
“Okay.” Harper nodded and took the dress, heading to the bathroom. She stripped off her clothes, put on the dress, and reached behind her to zip it up.
Just as she was halfway through, she heard the bathroom door open.
The next moment, a hand reached over and pulled up the zipper at her back,pleting the final step.
Harper turned around in surprise, looking at the tall man in front of her, then back at the open door, “How did you get in? I clearly locked the door.”
“Ever since someone dared to lock me out of the study,” ze said proudly, holding up his right hand. Between his index and middle fingers, he pinched a card, “I had the tech department make me a universal key card for this apartment.”
“A universal key card?” Harper was stunned.
Surprisingly, there was such a damn thing!
ze stood before her, carefully examining her.
“The Night Sky” dress looked stunning on her. She had a slender figure, a narrow waist, matching perfectly with the understated sparkle of the dress, giving off an indescribable allure.
Harper felt a bit awkward under his gaze and adjusted her dress nervously.
Suddenly, ze’s gaze fixed on her chest. The dress had a tear-shaped cutout above the chest, revealing fair skin and leaving her shoulderspletely exposed, sexy.
ze’s throat tightened instantly, and he pushed her against the wall, resuming their passionate kiss.
“Aren’t we supposed to go to the banquet?” Harper said helplessly.
“To hell with the banquet,” ze couldn’t care less about any banquet at the moment. He scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom, kissing her passionately as they walked. He captured her soft lips, eagerly intertwining his tongue with hers-
