Chapter 6
The news eventually reached the ears of both our parents.
My parents were furious, while Logan’s parents, after giving him a severe scolding, came to apologize in person.
Logan’s mom emphasized repeatedly that she only approved of me.
However, she felt too ashamed to ask for my forgiveness after what Logan had done and just hoped it wouldn’t affect the cooperation between our two families.
I didn’t want my personal matters to have a negative impact on the family business, especially since Logan’s parents had always been kind to me.
My mom wiped her tears and said she would definitely stand up for me, along with my dad.
I told her to let it go, explaining that Logan had hurt me once, and I had hurt him back, so we were even.
As for Meryl, she didn’t have long to live, so I didn’t want to waste any more time on her.
Full of Trials and Tribulations
Chapter 7
So much had happened recently that I decided I needed a break to clear my mind.
I took an extended leave from work and booked a flight to Costal City.
I checked into a seaside hotel, and every evening, I’d take long walks along the coast.
Gazing at the endless expanse of the ocean, I felt a sense of peace, and my mind began to unwind.
My obsession with Logan seemed to drift away with the sea breeze.
On the eighteenth day of my stay in Costal City, Logan started bombarding me with messages.
At first, they were just questions like “Where are you?” and “When are you coming back?”
But as he continued to receive no response, his tone grew increasingly desperate.
[Natalie, are you planning to avoid me forever?]
[How long are you going to torture me?]
Chapter 7
[You wanted to see me suffer, and you’ve succeeded!]
[I can’t find you, and I’m in so much pain. Can you please come back?]
I used to be the one who wanted to cling to him every hour.
Logan had even complained that I was too clingy and needed to give him more space.
Now that I had completely let him go, he was the one begging.
I didn’t respond and simply blocked his number and WhatsApp.
In the following two weeks, Logan tried reaching me through numerous new phone numbers.
My inbox was flooded with his apology messages.
[Natalie, I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. Please come back!]
[I can’t find you anywhere, and I’m going crazy!]
[I’m sorry for losing my temper over the baby.]
[I was just so heartbroken. You don’t know how much I was looking forward to our child.]
[When I found out the baby was gone, it felt like the world was collapsing.]
Chapter 7
[I’ve ended things with Meryl.]
[I know you don’t like her, and I won’t see her again.]
[Please, just reply to me.]
It was hard to believe that the once proud Logan was now begging so humbly.
Yet, despite reading his messages, I felt no stir in my heart.
I thought, “Logan, what now?
3/3
I think… I’ve really let you go. You’re not going to hear from met again.”
