Logan didn’t have much of an appetite due to his worries, but neither did he know how he should express himself. Meanwhile, Jasmine was rubbing her hands while stealing glances at him, for she had noticed his unspoken worries. Ever since receiving the call from him last night, she had been feeling anxious up until that moment. Pursing her lips while deep in thought, Jasmine said, “Are you busy today? Let’s have lunch together as well if you have time.”

Frowning, John replied, “We’ll decide on it by then.” The fact that Logan turned her down without offering a clear answer tipped Jasmine off that her hunch was most probably correct. A moment later, the boss served them their order, but Logan didn’t dig in. Instead, he spoke up after some hesitation. “Jasmine, I have something to tell you.”

However, Jasmine switched the topic with a smile on her face. “Will you be free tonight then? If you aren’t sure if you can make it for lunch, we can have dinner together.”

Logan could only pick up from where he left off. “I think we should reconsider our relationship. I feel like I might’ve misjudged my feelings toward yo—”

“If you’re busy tonight, I can wait till you have time to have a meal with me. I’m not trying to force you to comply.” Maintaining her cheerful smile, Jasmine cut him off. Logan heaved a sigh, but he didn’t make another attempt to speak. Seeing that he had fallen silent, Jasmine stopped talking as well. Neither of them ate, as all they did was stare at the food on the table.

Truth be told, Jasmine already had an idea as to what Logan was about to tell her. After a while, she checked the time before saying, “I have to go, or else I’ll be late for work.”

Logan lifted his head to glance at her. “I’ll send you to your office.”

“No, thank you.” Jasmine refused his offer as soon as she heard him, as she couldn’t stand being in close proximity to him at that time, nor did she want to hear his voice. Therefore, she stood up while dusting her extremely short dress. “I can hail a cab, so you should stay to have your breakfast since you haven’t eaten anything.” Without waiting for his response, she left to hail a cab with her bag in hand.

Logan heaved a sigh upon averting his gaze. Judging from her response, he figured that Jasmine already knew what he was planning to say. This is a bother. Since she refused to listen to me, it means she doesn’t want to reconsider our relationship. Logan felt that it was rash of him to assume that he loved Jasmine just because she was a cute girl whom he got along with. In hindsight, he realized he had been taking things at face value.

In the end, Logan didn’t eat anything as well. Instead, he headed to the hospital. Meanwhile, his father was having breakfast, and Logan’s sudden arrival caught him by surprise. It sure seemed that his father had something else in mind, as he cast a glance behind Logan before stating the obvious. “I can see that you came alone.”
