Chapter 60
After that, Logan pulled me up from my seat and said, Let’s go somewhere else.”
He then strode out of the restaurant without sparing Elijah and Jocelyn a second glance.
Just then, I looked back and saw them awkwardly arguing with the restaurant manager.
I imagined that they must’ve reserved the table and the meal and were expecting a romantic evening. Instead, they were caught off guard when the restaurant suddenly refused to serve them.
But could such an upscale restaurant really just close like that?
Nevertheless, I followed Logan out.
He walked quickly and firmly held my hand with no intention of letting go.
He led me out of the restaurant. Then, we turned a corner and arrived on the second floor of the same
restaurant.
I was surprised, unsure of what he had in mind.
When we were on the second floor, a well–dressed walter greeted us and guided us to a cozy table on the terrace.
As I looked down through the translucent window, I saw Elijah and Jocelyn angrily leaving.

I stared blankly at Logan. However, he was already casually chatting with the restaurant manager who had followed us upstairs.
The well–trained waiters then began serving our dishes.
By the time the restaurant manager left, our table was already filled with the dishes we had ordered
earlier.
Upon noticing my surprised expression, Logan adjusted his glasses and said, “Come, let’s eat. The atmosphere just now probably ruined your appetite. That was my fault.”
I then came to a realization and said, “It was you who kicked them out?”
Logan gave a slight smile. “They won’t be dining here again.”
I was stunned.
Even though I had lost my memory, I had looked up this Chessian restaurant before.
It was one of the two Michelin three–star restaurants in Halton City, renowned for its authentic Chesslan cuisine. With its long history, it was a place where the city’s elites entertained their most important guests.
Reservations were already difficult to secure, let alone to blacklist someone like Elijah and Jocelyn.
My eyes widened. “H–how did you do that?”
Logan casually sipped his champagne, loosened his collar, and replied, “The Wood family are investors of this restaurant.”
I froze at his words. “Y–you’re the owner behind this?” I stuttered.
The immense wealth of the Wood family made me feel like a small town girl who had never seen the world before. And yet, I had grown up in wealth as the pampered daughter of the York family.
Logan made me realize that even among the wealthy, there were still such differences.

Logan chuckled, and his eyes glimmered in amusement. “Silly girl, no business would turn away external investors. Even if you’re not the founder, there’s still a good chance to buy in later.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
As I savored the incredibly delicious food and relished the lamb chops that I hadn’t tasted in ages, the heaviness in my heart gradually lifted.
“What are you thinking so deeply about?” Logan’s question pulled me back to reality.
met his gaze and seriously replied, “I’m thinking about how to get Elijah to agree to the divorce.”
Logan casually responded, “Oh, there’s no rush for that.
I looked at him, confused. “Why?
He pushed the dessert he had ordered for me closer to me. “Since you’ve had a seven year bond with him, there’s no rush to cut him off.”
Logan’s gaze through his glasses was warm and clear. He said, “Life is long. Besides, you’ve just turned 18,” he added.
I laughed. “You’re mistaken. I’m already 25.”
Logan smiled with a tenderness in his eyes that I couldn’t fully comprehend. “In my eyes, you’ll always be a little girl.”
My face instantly flushed, and I hurriedly buried my head in the dessert, embarrassed to look at him.
