Presiden's wild wife

Elena’s Biological Father

“You?” Logan’s decision surprised Elena.

He nodded, “Yes. It’s okay. Easy. We are talking about business cooperation with the Fords.”

Edward still agreed to meet him after Logan canceled the appointment several times because he was willing to build up cooperation with KL.

Elena got it and answered with a nod, “Alright.”

Roger didn’t know what happened. But since Logan made up his mind, he couldn’t do anything to change it.

Edward had been waiting for them for a long while in the restaurant. He was still patient. Though he aged, he was full of vigor and vitality.

“Mr. Ford.” Logan smiled at him, coming towards him.

Edward turned around, looking at him sitting in the wheelchair. Then he greeted with a smile, “How are you, Mr. Brown.”

“Edward.” Roger greeted and took his seat.

Edward smiled broadly because Roger was an old friend. “Roger, thankfully I don’t get stood up this time. I wish it won’t happen again.”

Logan apologized, “I am sorry for that, Mr. Ford. And you can call me Logan.”

“Logan,” Edward called his name. He found that Logan’s wife wasn’t here, so he asked, “I thought that you would come with your wife.”

“Well, she is a bit uncomfortable. So she didn’t come with us.” Logan said calmly.

“Oh, what a shame! Roger keeps telling me that your wife changes you a lot. I am so looking forward to seeing her.”

Logan was surprised. ‘Did she change me?’ Logan thought.

Seeing him feeling puzzled, Edward said, “Well, I still remember how serious and stern you look in a ball three years ago. And now, you look much milder and more easy-going.”

“You are flattering me. You know, I was too young to be modest at that time.” So people would say that he was too proud and arrogant.

They started to enjoy the meal and talked about the business. They didn’t mention anything about Kent.

After the meal, Roger and Edward were about to catch up, so Logan left with Jacob.

Elena met Kent again on her way back to the hotel. He looked more playful now, asking, “Are you here for Logan’s surgery?”

Elena just glanced at him, then walked away, ignoring him.

Kent quickly grabbed her on her arm, “Hey, stop. I didn't finish yet!”

“Okay. Go ahead.”

He deliberately chose to talk to her at this moment because Logan wasn’t around. If he wanted to talk, she would have to listen.

“Did you believe what I said just now? I mean the DAN test about you and your mother.” Kent smiled, leaning towards her and circling her against the wall.

Elena pushed him away, frowning, “What do you mean?”

“I mean literally.” He didn’t tell her directly.

“If you don’t want to talk,” She smiled, showing no interest in what he said, “Stop here.”

“Wait!”

Kent stopped her in a hurry, “Aren’t you curious about your biological father?”

“Do I have to be curious?”

“It’s your father!”

“What about you?” Elena asked, “Do you hate Edward? Do you want him to accept you as his son?”

“It’s none of your business!” Kent yelled angrily.

Elena raised her eyebrows, “Well, then my business is none of your business.”

“You!” He was irritated by her remarks. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Oh, are you mad at me? So why did you talk to me? If you didn’t talk to me, you might not be angry.” Elena smiled.

Kent composed himself, trying to smile, “I am not…, well, you are a pretty girl. Why did you marry Logan, a disabled man? Come on, I am much better than him, right? I will take you away after your divorce.”

Elena knew he tried to enrage her; unluckily, he succeeded.

Kent was happy to see her angry face, adding, “You don’t want to go with me? Do you think he can walk again after the surgery? Hey, don’t forget that you can marry him just because he is disabled! If he can walk again, you will be abandoned at once.”

What Kent said used to make her worried. But now, she didn’t care.

“What’s your point, Kent? You are persuading me to divorce Logan and go with you, aren’t you?”

“I promise I will treat you well. And I'm not doing this just to have sex with you. I promise I won’t touch you if you don’t like it.”

He looked at Elena calmly, waiting for her answer.

Elena was curious now, “I wonder why you want to take me away. We are strangers. You don’t love me. Did someone make a deal with you?”

Kent sneered, “Because you are pathetic; and that’s it.”

“I don’t need your sympathy. I don’t think I am pathetic. And you are not entitled to interfere in my life!”

Elena pushed him away and was about to leave.

Kent sneered, “Oh tough girl. I will just wait and see if you can still be tough when you are abandoned by Logan!”

He didn’t believe in love. People were selfish creatures. They would abandon each other anyway.

Because of Kent’s interruption, it was a bit late when she returned to the room. However, Kent’s remarks lingered in her mind, reminding her that Logan and she weren’t meant to be together and they might end up with a divorce.

Everybody thought that she was not good for Logan, though he was disabled.

There was a mess in her mind now. She shook her head, covering herself with a comforter. She was calling Logan’s name in her heart so that she felt safer and more comfortable.
