Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 970

Lisa's heart skipped a beat. Why was Logan standing here?

Had he heard what she just said?

But panicking now would be useless. She decided to act as if he hadn't heard anything and tried to sound casual as she called out to him. "Uncle Logan!"

She had just calmed herself down in the bathroom. But her heart still raced when she saw him right in front of her.

Logan's eyes, deep and mysterious like a starry night sky, locked onto hers. "Jojo is very innocent and can't handle certain things. You understand what I mean, right?"

Lisa's frantic heartbeat suddenly calmed at his words.

So he was waiting for her to say this. He was worried she might tell Joelle about the feelings he had once harbored for her.

For some inexplicable reason, her heart felt like it had been twisted. The pain was so intense that she struggled to catch her breath for a moment.

She discreetly pinched herself to prevent showing any unusual reactions. "Uncle Logan, what do you mean by 'certain things'? As far as I know, there's nothing like that between us to talk about."

His gaze hardened as she spoke. The meaning behind her words was clear—she had never taken his feelings seriously.

"Uncle Logan, is there anything else?" Lisa asked, her face breaking into a calm smile. "If not, I'll go keep Aunt Joelle company."

She appeared to be carefree and unconcerned.

Logan didn't utter a word. He shifted to the side, allowing her to pass.

She walked past him, her hair brushing against his cheek like a knife scraping against his skin.

The dinner was sumptuous. Joelle's presence had lifted the otherwise tense atmosphere, making the evening particularly enjoyable. Nadine even brought out the family's heirloom emerald bracelet to give to Joelle. But she declined, saying the gift was too valuable to accept.
