Chapter 118 The guests
"We don’t want to be this. Dad, it’s Elena who made the trouble." Yolanda added, "But it is a big day today. And it’s not right to make a fuss, so let’s forget it. I believe Anna won’t mind."
Elena sneered. ‘Of course she won’t mind. If she won’t let it go, the result may get them into trouble.’ Elena thought.
Grandpa George said in a calm tone, "Let’s have dinner."
But the Lees couldn’t bear Anna suffered here. Though they were unsatisfied, they could do nothing but swallowed it because of Grandpa George’s attitude.
The maids worked very hard and cleaned up the kitchen very fast. Soon all the dishes were put on the table as if nothing ever happened. But now everyone looked a little unhappy.
Yolanda sat next to Anna. And the opposite was Elena and Logan who were whispering to each other.
Looking at them, Jacqueline sneered, "Wow, you are so close. What are you whispering? So sweet!"
"Yes." Elena said frankly, pretending she didn’t notice her sneer.
But Mrs. Lee heard this and wouldn’t think Elena was honest, but shameless!
Yolanda couldn’t help saying, "Yes! They are so close, just like Logan and Anna before! Well, I am jealous!"
Grandpa George felt unhappy about Yolanda’s words, and said in an angry tone, "Yolanda, stop speaking!"
"Why, Grandpa? Am I wrong? They were so close to each other before. If Anna doesn’t study abroad, they will…"
Bang! Something was broken and shocked them all. They looked at the broken plate. It was Logan. He seemed furious, "Grandpa George, I am sorry. We need to go now. See you next time." Logan said, using his phone to call Jacob.
The next second, Jacob came in and called him, "Sir."
"Go home now." Logan said.
Grandpa George and the Lees didn’t realize what happened. But they tried to stop him, "Logan, calm down. Let’s have a talk. You don’t have to leave."
"Then could you please tell me why I should stay, Grandpa? For the guests?" Logan sneered, saying indifferently.
The Lees understood his words, but they couldn’t show their anger here, "Logan, right, we are the guests. But we have been friends for generations, right? How can you talk like that?"
"So you should stay here. But we need to leave now." Logan added.
"Logan, watch your manner!" Grandpa George was unhappy.
Logan gave a glance at him and said, "Grandpa, I understand you treat Anna well as your granddaughter. But I hope you could remember a fact that Elena is my wife, not Anna! No one could ever hurt her even a little!"
And Logan knew that what Yolanda said on purpose only made Elena embarrassed in front of them.
Grandpa George gave a glance at Elena, and said, "Elena, you know. It’s only a joke."
Elena felt disappointed slightly. She stood up and said, "I won’t blame you, and I didn’t misunderstand any of it."
The only thing she thought at that moment was that it was a mistake to be here.
"Because of me?" Anna asked. She stood up as well and said in a sad tone, "Logan, did I do anything wrong so that you want to leave? If so, I apologize to you. Don’t be angry with Grandpa, OK?"
Logan sneered again, "Why do you think you can talk to me like that?"
"Logan, I…" She was awkward. She raised the hand which was hurt just now and touched her hair, in order to gain his attention and compassion.
However, Logan didn’t care. He turned to Grandpa George and said, "I think I’ve made it clear, Grandpa. If anyone tries to hurt my wife, I won’t let it go."
Then he held Elena’s hand tightly and said, "Let’s go."
Grandpa George recalled what he said before and felt so regretful now. What he wanted was to have a meal happily with his family. He never expected things went on this way.
"Grandpa, I am sorry. I don’t want this, either." Anna said with guilt, nearly crying.
The Lees said, "Mr. Brown, why did Logan become so...? Though he isn’t talkative, at least he is polite! But today, he is being so rude!"
Cornel felt so sorry about that. He tried to explain, "Perhaps he is upset about work recently. So he wasn’t in a good mood."
"But he couldn’t talk like that! Right, Anna studied abroad and had to leave him. But it’s her right to study abroad, right? Anna is excellent, too. What he said just now sounds that my daughter is always dreaming of marrying him! How can he say like that?"
Anna didn’t say a word and kept her head down, which made her look pathetic.
Grandpa George was unhappy about their complaint, and said, "Forget about what happened today. Let’s eat something."
"Grandpa…" Yolanda couldn’t bear that he just forgave Elena easily. But before she said another word, Grandpa George stared at her seriously, stopping her words.
Cornel and Jacqueline tried to comfort the Lees, "Next time we will ask him to apologize to you."
Mrs. Lee didn’t believe it. Everyone knew that Logan had his own business and didn’t rely on the Browns anymore. It was impossible to make him apologize to them. But they didn’t want to argue with the Browns, so they didn’t say a word against them. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
They finished the dinner unhappily at last.
Yolanda was very quiet that night. She talked to Anna after the dinner.
Anna complained, "It’s your fault! Look at you! You think Logan will care about me and leave Elena alone if I get hurt. What a bad idea! He doesn’t care about me at all!"
Yolanda didn’t expect that Logan really didn’t like Anna anymore. But she was unwilling to give up, "I am so sorry, Anna. I don’t expect Elena is so good at dealing with men. And she manipulates Logan so well. Look at the way he was defending Elena!"
Ann felt hurt and confused, "Then what should I do next? I suffered in vain! And Logan may hate me now!"
Yolanda thought for a while and made a plan, "If you can’t deal with Logan, then go to Grandpa! Logan only listens to Grandpa! Previously he got married because Grandpa wanted him to! So dealing with Grandpa helps make a good end!"
Anna understood it right away. She knew what to do now.
