Chapter 299 Problems with the Car
Chapter 299 Problems with the Car
Elena touched her head and ignored Logan’s question. Logan kept smiling and looked at her with gentleness.
On the other side, Sophia had finished talking with Zach. She dragged Zach over and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Let's find a place to have dinner first."
"You are really a little piggy who is always hungry."
"Hey!"
Zach whispered, "Didn’t you eat spicy hot pot before we came here? Isn’t it enough?"
Now he could still feel the smell of the food on her body. How could she be hungry so soon?
"You have no idea about the world of foodies. It's just the appetizer!" Sophia snorted.
Zach almost fell down as he heard this. He looked at her in shock.
Sophia widened her eyes and said, "What? Just tell me if you want to eat or not. You can go back yourself if you don’t wanna eat. I'll go with Elena."
Zach had no choice but to agree.
"Let's go. I know a reputable restaurant nearby. Its meals should be to Sophia's taste." Logan suggested in a low voice.
Reputable restaurant!
Hearing that, Sophia's saliva dropped all of a sudden. "Yes, yes! Is there any spicy meal? The food cooked by Zach is also delicious, but light and plain. He refuses to cook spicy food, for he thinks it’s not healthy.”
Zach was angry. He couldn't help but tap Sophia’s head with his index finger. "Really a little piggy."
Then they went to the parking lot to find the car.
When Logan got on the car and started the engine, he suddenly stopped and quickly turned off the engine. Then he unfastened his seat belt and urged, "Get off the car!"
"What's wrong?"
"Get off the car." Logan lowered to unfastened Elena’s seat belt and opened the car door. "Something strange with the car!"
Elena's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking too much, she opened the door and got out of the car.
Elena and Logan kept a distance from the car. In the quiet parking lot, the sound of water dripping on the ground was very clear. The two of them squatted down in the direction of the sound.
The oil was dropping from the car, and the air was gradually filled with a pungent smell of gasoline...
"This..." Elena couldn't help but tremble. "Did Jacqueline do this?"
"It must be her. The brake is also broken." As soon as he sat on the seat and started the engine, he found the situation!
Elena clenched her hands in silence. "Why did she act so fast? We just arrived here..."
She was incoherent. Perhaps it was the first time that she had seen such a scene, so she was inexplicably flustered.
Logan immediately held her in his arms and protect her with his body. "Don't be afraid. Nothing happened."
A sudden sound of brake sounded. Zach's car came over and saw the two standing there in silence. He rolled down the window and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your car?"
"Yes, it broke down."
Logan replied calmly, "Let’s go there by your car."
Zach took a meaningful look at the two, nodded and opened the car door. "Let's go."
When they arrived and got out of the car, Sophia took Elena straight into the restaurant. Zach pulled Logan who was about to get out of the car and asked, "What happened just now?"
Logan frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Maybe Sophia couldn’t find anything strange, but I’m not her. What's wrong with your car?"
"The brake was broken, and there was gasoline dropping in the bottom of the car."
Logan looked calm, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
Zach's face darkened. "Really! What a malicious plan! The car would explore if you drove it before!"
"Yes, it will."
Zach took a look at the two women sitting in the restaurant. He lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. "It's strange. Who did it?"
"I don't know yet."Logan glanced at him, grabbed his cigarette and stubbed it out. "Don't smoke when Elena is here."
Zach shrugged and put away the cigarette and lighter awkwardly.
"Don’t tell this to Sophia since she doesn’t find this. It has nothing to do with her."
"Of course." Zach nodded fast. "I won’t say this to my little girl. She must be anxious if she knows this."
Logan nodded, "that's good. Let's go inside. Don't make them wait too long."
Then he left Zach behind and strode in.
Zach came to his senses and hurried to catch up with Logan. "Hey, I haven't figured out the murderer yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'll ask Jacob to deal with this matter. I don’t need your help."
"But we should figure out who the murderer is." Zach reminded Logan.
Logan suddenly stopped, turned around and chuckled. "Do you think... I don't know who the murderer is?"
Who hated him the most in the world and had the strongest intention to kill him? Every smart person would know this, so would Jacqueline, who had just now got the news that Logan could walk with healthy legs!
All of a sudden, Zach understood what Logan meant. "You mean it was Jacqueline who did it?"
"Hush..."
Logan shook his head and said, "Don't talk too much and don’t want to do anything."
If someone could do something to his car, it meant that they might be watching them nearby.
Zach blinked his eyes. Logan patted him on the shoulder and said, "The most important thing is to solve the problem of our stomachs first."
Zach nodded and followed Logan into the restaurant.
Sophia waved at the two of them in her seat and complained when they came over, "What's wrong with you? Why did you take so long to come in?"
Logan sat down naturally. Zach sat next to Sophia and explained, "I smoked outside."
Sophia smelled it carefully and found that there was indeed the smell of tobacco. Her face immediately darkened. "Please be considerate, okay? Elena is still pregnant. She can't stand the smell of tobacco now. Did you do it on purpose?"
Zach burst into laughter and explained helplessly. "You said the same words as Logan, so I just took a puff and then he threw it away..." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"You deserve this!"
Elena tried her best to hold back her emotions and managed a smile. "Don’t talk about this anymore. It's nothing. Let's order something to eat first, okay?"
"Okay! I want to eat boiled fish with chili, and braised prawns, and hairy crabs! And..."
Sophia ordered the meals. Zach, who was sitting next to her, took a deep breath and asked, "My dear, can you eat all of them up?"
"I can't eat them up. But we can pack them up when we go back!" Sophia looked confident, as if she had already made the plan.
Zach's mouth twitched. He was completely defeated by her thought.
