I descended the stairs, preparing to hail a taxi, when I spotted Logan standing beside a car. Without glancing sideways, he approached. His voice was clear: "Get in."
I paused, then looked up. His eyes met mine directly. I pursed my lips. "No need, I don't want to bother you."
Being in the same car with you makes me feel uneasy, don't you know that?
Logan remained silent.
It was the evening rush hour, and the continuous honking of cars outside only accentuated the silence here.
I silently pondered whether to slip away directly, find another excuse, or...
"When we were kids, you used to stick to me all the time. Now, you avoid me like the plague." He removed his gold-rimmed glasses, half-closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples. "Why?"
His tone turned slightly cold.
I blinked. "Do you still want to help me with my homework? But I don't have homework now." Logan then...
"Or do you want me to call you 'Logi' like I used to?" I raised an eyebrow and blew a breath into his ear, standing on tiptoe.
Logan took a step back.
I widened my eyes. I couldn't help but laugh.
Okay, the feeling of wanting to fight back but disgusting myself has diminished a bit.
Before I could laugh too much, I heard a muffled "Hmm."
His single "Hmm" left me speechless.
Could it be true that I was too wicked when I was young ?
A few traces of guilt crept into my heart that is rarely seen in villainess.
In less than a few seconds, Logan had reverted to his cold and aloof demeanor. He said casually, "I can also drop you off on the way.It's hard to get a cab now.."
It was true that it was hard to get a cab, and no driver had accepted the order so far.
It was also true that it was on the way. We lived in the same villa area as Logan, Jordan, and Connor. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to be togather when we were kids.
I rubbed my nose. "Okay."
I subconsciously reached for the back seat door, then locked eyes with Logan again. I hesitated for a moment, then turned and opened the passenger door.
There was a faint and distinctive scent in his car. Unknowingly, my body relaxed.
During the traffic jam, I idly scrolled through my phone. Suddenly, I realized something important and asked, " Jordan and Aria's engagement was called off the day after I left?"
Logan: "Hmm."
"Why?"
"They were too childish then."
Me: "?"
But Logan seemed a bit resistant to this topic, so I didn't pursue it further.
"Will you leave again this time?" he asked.
Since the female lead was gone, I probably didn't need to hide anymore, right?
But I never follow the routine: "Yeah, I will leave soon."
"..."
Complete silence followed.
