Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 979

Lisa was rendered speechless.

Just because she was an OB-GYN didn't mean she would give birth to many. After all, correlation didn't equal causation.

She looked at Xander, who understood her cue and stretched out his hand to hold hers. Instead of helping her decline, he directly assisted Eleanor in putting the bracelet on her wrist.

She was taken aback.

She had wanted him to help her refuse, but he went ahead and had her wear it?

"If you refuse this, my grandma will think you're not serious about me and will give me a hard time." He held her hand, explained, and then whispered a soft, "Good girl."

His voice was soft, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

Lisa was embarrassed by his cheesy remark and felt a shiver run down her spine. She could only manage to say, "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Roulder Senior."

As she finished speaking, she inadvertently looked up and met Logan's gaze. Despite the bright sunlight outside, his eyes were like they were soaked in nightfall, deep and chilling.

Her nerves suddenly tensed, and she quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.

Jamie, on the other hand, started chatting with Logan about current affairs and business insights. Feeling uncomfortable, Lisa found an excuse to slip away.

"Lisa, let me accompany you for a walk." Joelle took the initiative to be a gracious host.

She couldn't refuse, so she let Joelle lead her out of the hall, feeling a sense of relief.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're relieved?" Joelle asked with a laugh.

Lisa thought about her stable relationship with Logan, so she decided to tell her the truth. She told her that she and Xander were only pretending to be a couple.
