Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 286

Josie stared at him for a while. Then, she sat back and leaned against the headboard. She pondered before saying, “My parents and brothers have been calling me every day in the past few days. They want you to go to the company to find out why Solace Corporation suddenly suspended its collaboration with Vaal Corporation.”

Logan did not answer Josie’s question. Instead, he lit a cigarette and smoked on the bed.

Josie waited for a while and began to feel a little impatient. She glanced at Logan from the corner of her eye again and spoke more anxiously. “You should know that Vaal Corporation depends on the projects with Solace Corporation to survive. Once Solace Corporation calls off its collaboration with Vaal Corporation, Vaal Corporation will go bankrupt.”

Logan was a little annoyed and glared at her. “So? Just let that meager company go bankrupt, then.”

Josie sneered, “Vaal Corporation may be a meager and inconspicuous company to you, but my family relies on it to make a living. I wonder if you will support them if Vaal Corporation goes bankrupt.”

She paused before continuing sarcastically, “I know what’s on your mind. I never ask what you are doing and accept whatever the outcome is. I just ask for one thing. You should never drag the York family into the mess. They were the ones who gave birth to me and raised me, allowing me to marry you and give birth to your children. They did not get the collaboration with Solace Corporation from you. They owe you nothing.”

“Fuck! Are you done talking?” Logan swept the things on the bedside table to the ground as he spoke.

He widened his eyes at Josie as if he wanted to devour her.

Josie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the expression on his face. She pursed her lips and dared not to continue.

Both looked at each other for a while. Then, Logan got up and strode out of the bedroom.

As silence ensued in the room, Josie could only hear her heartbeat.

She had been married to Logan for more than ten years. Although he was not a gentle and considerate husband, he still respected her. They would tolerate each other whenever there were minor conflicts between them. It was the first time he had spoken to her with that look.

Not long later, a noise came from downstairs.

Josie walked to the window and saw it was Logan’s car heading out.

16:28 |

More than half an hour later, Logan parked his car in the underground parking lot of a high-end condominium and went upstairs by elevator.

Once he exited the elevator, he stood at the door and rang the doorbell.

When no one opened the door after a while, he became impatient and rang the doorbell a few more times. Realization dawned upon him the next second, and he opened the door with his fingerprint.

When he entered, he saw Shirley dressed in a white silk spaghetti-strap nightgown at the door.

She quickly stepped forward when she saw Logan enter and helped him. put on the house shoes. “Didn’t you say you won’t come over tonight?” she asked gently.

Logan ignored her and went straight into the room. When he heard the baby crying from the bedroom, he couldn’t help but frown. “Why is the baby crying again?”

With an aggrieved look, Shirley said, “I can still comfort the baby during the day, but not at night.”

Logan replied, “Think of something, then!”

Shirley pouted. “Well, I’ve already done whatever I can.”

Logan’s face darkened. The baby’s cry worsened his headache. He walked back and forth in the living room before he entered the bedroom. He stared at the baby in the crib. It had turned red from crying.

He snorted quietly and bent down to pick up the little one from the crib. He was a little rough when he wiped the latter’s tears and warned, “Shut up, or I’ll throw you out!”

Probably frightened by Logan’s tone, the little one stared at the former with his mouth half-open, and his eyes were still wet.

Shirley walked over, leaned against Logan, and gently tapped the little one’s cheek with her fingers. She joked, “Sure enough, you’re his uncle. Look. He stops crying when you hug him.”

Logan’s expression turned gloomier at her words. He turned around and passed the little one to Shirley before he headed to the living room and sat on the couch. With the little one in her arms, Shirley followed and sat beside him.

She played with the little one for a while. She thought the baby was adorable when he was not crying.

“How long do I have to keep this baby?” Shirley pretended to have no intention of asking and glanced at the expression on the man’s face from the corner of her

eye.

Logan leaned back on the couch, stared at the light above, and said casually,

“Don’t you wish to have a child? I got you one now. Are you not satisfied?”

Shirley pursed her lips. “I want a child, but it has to be a child I give birth to myself, not others.”

Because of Logan, she did not have to worry about her living expenses while attending university. Her classmates were envious of her. At present, her university classmates are either working or married. Some of them had even given birth to children.

They always shared their interesting and joyful life on Instagram.

On the contrary, Shirley felt trapped. She was imprisoned in a small corner of the world and could only peep at the sunlight outside through the cracks.

Logan gently stroked her hair with his palm. “Shir, you already knew I was married since the day you got into a relationship with me. I can’t promise you anything except money.”

Regardless of the relationship between him and Josie, they would never get divorced.

The Solace family would never allow the existence of an illegitimate child, too.

Shirley smiled bitterly. With misty eyes, she tilted her head to look at Logan and asked, “What if I’m pregnant?”

Logan’s expression momentarily froze, and he looked at her abruptly. A hint of malice flashed across his eyes.

Shirley’s heart sank at the sight. She quickly held back the tears in her eyes and smiled. “I’m joking with you. Although I really want a child, I don’t have the courage to do that at present.”

Logan looked at her for a while before he shifted his gaze away.

Rowan had gone missing for a week, but there was still no clue of his whereabouts.

The police checked the road surveillance footage to trace the person’s movement after the person had left the community health center with Rowan. However, the person did not use any vehicle but walked to the blind spot of the surveillance camera and disappeared.

The police then carefully checked the surveillance footage in the vicinity. Yet, they still didn’t find anything after a week.

That was to say, the person who had taken Rowan away had disappeared with Rowan in his arms.

Instead of listening to Christopher’s advice to wait for the news at home, Yuliana

went to the community health center every day and searched for Rowan blindly. When she got tired, she went to the vaccination hall to rest and reminisced about the feeling of Rowan in her arms when she took him for vaccination that day.

When the sky turned dark, she returned to the Solace residence, eating and sleeping as usual.

However, she never had a good night’s sleep. She had nightmares every day, and Rowan always appeared in her dreams. It made Yuliana reluctant to wake up, even if it was a nightmare. She was willing to go through the nightmare as long as she could see Rowan and hug him in the dream.
