Hope quickly rushed toward the kitchen counter and saw Logan had prepared most of the lunch. She picked up the spoon to taste Insalata Caprese, a salad made of tomatoes, mozzarella, cheese balls, basil leaves etc. She found it delicious and licked her l*ps while praising Logan for his cooking skills.
“Why are you only in a towel?” Logan asked finally as he took the spoon from her and threw it into the wash basin. “Where are your clothes?” he queried.
“The top I was wearing got drenched in the water. I didn’t have anything to wear, so thought to wrap a towel around me, Hope said.
“You can find my shirt upstairs in the cupboard. Wear that,” Logan asserted.
Hope rushed to the upstairs and from the cupboard took out one of the white shirts. She wore that and looked at herself in the mirror. The shirt covered her thighs fully and stopped just above her knees.
“He is tall,” Hope murmured and put up her jean below it. She went downstairs and found out Logan had already set thd lunch table.
“All this look so delicious,” Hope said with glistening eyes. She had her hands placed on the table when Logan grasped one of them. He folded her sleeves up like a caring husband.
Hope affectionately gazed at his face and then smiled slowly.
“Now, you can eat,” Logan said and shifted his attention to the plate.
After they were done eating, Hope thanked Logan for such delicious meal. She got

Logan walked out of the kitchen and went to the cozy living room of the house. He checked his phone and saw Paul’s missed call. Logan called him back and put the phone on his ear. “Did you finish the work?”
“Yes, Sir. I have made sure the Ravenclaw family bankrupts today. By the evening, they will lose everything. Paul informed Logan. “Also, Mrs. Martha Ravenclaw was here. She created a scene at the office and begged me to make her meet your wife. I. somehow, managed to throw her out of this place. But she may again approach Mrs. Hope Moore,” he explained to Logan.
“Hmm. What about Daniel Rutherford?” Logan queried.
“He is busted, Sir. Many frauds were opened up recently and investor took out every investment from the Rutherford industries, Paul asserted.
“Hmm. Great work, Paul, Logan said and disconnected the call. He put his phone aside. and waited for Hope to return.
Shortly, Hope returned from the kitchen. “Why didn’t you go to the room?” Hope. queried.
“You can rest in the room.” Logan replied.
“Are you sure? I thought you didn’t like my presence in your room,” Hope taunted him.
“Come here,” Logan motioned his hand at her, signaling her hand to come to him.
Hope walked up to him when he pulled her down. “I’ll rest in the room then, you can rest here,” Logan said and walked away. Hope tried stopping him, but he didn’t.
She sighed and lay on the couch. “Why does it feel he resist to fall in love again? He shows care for me but at the same time, he pushes me away,” Hope murmured. She was too tired and her eyes gradually closed before she embraced the sleep.
In the evening, Hope’s sleep abruptly broke because of the scary dream she had. She woke up while taking deep breaths and sat up. In the dream, Hope saw she was strangled by Karla and Daniel together at once.
Hope looked around and saw it was late evening. The darkness had surrounded the living room. She thought to go to kitchen to drink water and as she raised on her feet, Logan appeared in the living room.
