More Than A Favor (Elaine and Logan)

Chapter 43 Menu

Logan stayed silent for a long moment before mockingly nodding. "If you want to be unreasonable, so

be it."

Even now, he refused to admit any fault. In his eyes, everything was still my doing. I didn't even want to argue with him anymore.

I'll move out of your house," I said calmly.

"My house?" His eyes narrowed, his tone sharp. "Elaine, you've never considered that place your home, have you? It's a shame my parents cared so much for you."

I pressed my lips together. Didn't he realize? I didn't want his parents' affection-I wanted his. But it didn't matter anymore. I had already decided to separate from him, so there was no point in explaining.

"Mr. Mercer, I'll get back to work," I said firmly, avoiding any mention of quitting. I wanted to see the amusement park project through to the end.noveldrama

"Elaine, do you really want to break up with me?" Logan asked again, as if he hadn't heard me clearly the first time.

I looked at him-the face I'd admired for ten years-and replied with finality. "Yes, Logan. I want to break up with you. From now on, you are you, and I am me. We'll marry other people and have nothing to do with each other." Logan let out a cold, broken laugh. "Fine, Elaine. You said it. Don't regret it."

Regret? He mentioned it again, as though he truly believed I would. Maybe it was because of my ten years of foolish devotion-following him, tolerating his coldness, and enduring the countless ways he hurt me. "Goodbye," I said, turning away.

Logan didn't stop me. But just as I reached the door, a knock sounded. I opened it, and my steps froze.

It was Selene.

Her eyes

flickered with panic before she forced a smile, trying to appear friendly. "Elaine, you're back?"

I didn't respond, my gaze falling to the document in her hand.

The red header of Mercer Corporation caught my attention. It was an internal company document- something only employees should have access to. What was she doing with it?

Her presence here was surprising enough. Seeing her with that document was even more shocking.

Sensing the tension, Selene's smile faltered, and a hint of embarrassment crossed her face. "I'm here to deliver documents to Mr. Mercer," she said, her words rushed.

The way she addressed him as "Mr. Mercer" clarified everything for me. Logan hadn't just kept her hidden-he'd brought her into the company.

Maya hadn't mentioned this to me. Perhaps she was too busy, or maybe she'd deliberately avoided telling me to spare my feelings.

But none of it mattered anymore. Whether Logan brought Selene into the company or even married her, it had nothing to do with me now. 14.83%

"Please move aside. I need to leave," I said curtly.

It wasn't that I wanted to be rude to a pregnant woman, but it was basic etiquette to let someone exit before entering. Selene hesitated, then stepped aside. I walked out quickly without looking back. As the door closed behind me, I heard Logan' voice, sharp with frustration. "Why didn't you tell me Elaine went to Dazzle Residence?"

I didn't stay to hear Selene's response. It wasn't my concern anymore.
