The next day, when Skyler woke up, she felt a bit dizzy. She had stayed up late taking care of Logan last night and probably didn't get enough rest.
When she checked the time, she realized she was already fifteen minutes later than usual. Luckily, Logan should still be exercising and hadn't come down yet.
Skyler quickly got ready and headed out of her room, only to see Logan already sitting at the dining table.
She was startled and quickly lowered her head, her slender eyelashes covering her anxious emotions.
Why did Logan come down so early? Did he find out about her going upstairs last night?
With a nervous heart, Skyler walked into the dining room.
Even though he was sitting down, Logan's nearly two-meter-tall figure still seemed imposing and tall. His exquisite suit accentuated his cold and stern demeanor, exuding an aura of nobility and indifference.
Hearing her footsteps, Logan looked up, and his sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly, his cold eyes darkening imperceptibly.
"Good morning, Mr. Lee," Skyler obediently greeted him and quickly headed to the kitchen. "I didn't expect you to come down so early today. I'll make breakfast now."
Seeing the black coffee next to Logan, her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but twist slightly.
With a bad stomach, he still drinks black coffee.
As a professional caregiver, Skyler almost reminded him of the occupational hazard.
However, Logan lowered his face and glanced at her, his low and cold voice devoid of warmth.
"Living here means following the rules. Skyler, I, Logan, never wait for anyone to eat. There shouldn't be a next time for incidents like this morning."
Skyler: "....."
If it weren't for taking care of him last night, she wouldn't have stayed in bed.
"I understand, Mr. Lee." She replied softly, without any explanation.
Next, Skyler quickly prepared breakfast and served it on the table, then lowered her head to eat her own portion.
However, Logan didn't touch any of the food she made except for a few bites of the high-end salad and toast that the servant bought from the fridge.
The man kept his head down and looked at the financial report on his phone, with a cup of black coffee by his side.
Finally, after finishing the report, Logan got up.
Skyler also quickly put down her tableware and followed him out.
In fact, she didn't understand why Logan insisted on having her accompany him for meals and even required her to be responsible for two meals a day.
He didn't even eat the food she cooked.
They had nothing to say at the dining table, and they weren't really a couple. Wouldn't it be better to have fewer situations where they sat at the same table to eat like this?
As Logan stood in the hallway changing his shoes, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, he turned his head, and his deep black eyes stared at her face.
"By the way, if I'm not around, you're not allowed to go to my grandfather's place."
Skyler was taken aback. "But Uncle Wilson said... he wanted me to visit him whenever I had time. I promised him that I would go this weekend..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Logan's gaze became fierce.
He leaned in, grabbed her chin with an iron grip, and twisted her cheeks, causing her pain.
"Skyler, I'm not negotiating with you."
Logan's eyes were filled with disgust.
"Don't expect to get any benefits from my grandfather. Don't think that just because he's old, you can fool him easily."
Yesterday at the nursing home, Logan saw the old man, who was usually stern and impartial, smile for the first time. He thought the old man just didn't want him to marry the woman arranged by the Lee family.
But after witnessing Old Master Wilson's attitude towards Skyler yesterday, Logan realized that the old man really did have high hopes for this woman.
Old Master Wilson's attitude towards Skyler was anything but ordinary.
"I... didn't..." Skyler's voice was hoarse, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak properly, tears just rolling in her eyes.
Her pitiful and tearful appearance made people feel sorry for her.
She's really good at acting pitiful!
Logan snorted coldly, his tone menacing. "It's better if you didn't."
After speaking, he mercilessly let go of Skyler.
He took out a tissue and wiped his right fingertips that had just touched her, as if touching her even a little was dirty!
Skyler was so frightened by Logan's aggressive posture that her legs went weak. As soon as he let go of her, she fell to the ground.
On her pitiful little face were clear and swollen finger marks left by the man.
But Logan didn't even spare a glance for Skyler, who had fallen to the ground.
He threw away the tissue, picked up his briefcase from the side, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the man walking towards the door stopped in his tracks.
"Oh, by the way..."
Logan's low and cold voice sank.
"Did you go upstairs last night?"
