Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 976

Lisa was putting on a good show of being asleep. Surely, she hadn't expected Logan to pull such a move?

She didn't dare move.

After all, it would be even more awkward if she did.

So, she continued to pretend, letting him carry her upstairs and into her room.

Fortunately, her face was pressed against his chest. She could sneak a peek without being noticed. All she could see was his white undershirt, and she caught a whiff of the crisp cedarwood scent on him.

Yes, it was cedarwood.

It didn't smell like makeup or perfume.

Did this mean he hadn't hugged Joelle when they separated? That there had been no intimate interaction between them?

The thought flitted through her mind, but Lisa quickly dismissed it. Of course he would hug and kiss his girlfriend. What was she even thinking?

"Lisa, oh Lisa, snap out of it! This is your uncle. Regardless of whether he's a Cohen or not, he's still Uncle Logan..."

As she rambled to herself, she suddenly heard him call her softly, "Liz."

Her nerves tensed, and she bit her lip, afraid of responding unintentionally.

"You actually fell asleep?" Logan whispered, "Aren't you usually a light sleeper?"

The moment he said this, she felt guilty.

As an OB-GYN, she was used to being called out in the middle of the night for deliveries. She had always been a light sleeper, waking at the slightest sound. Pretending to be so deeply asleep was starting to feel like a bad act.

But now that he'd spoken, she couldn't just open her eyes.
