Logan didn’t say anything as he let go of her hand and went ahead. Hope wondered if she infuriated him by her statement of becoming his wife. If | want a family with him, then | need to fight for it, she thought and began walking behind him.
Finally, she caught Logan’s steps and walked with the same pace as his. The eerie silent. between them did make Hope uncomfortable, but the bustling noise of the leaves, the birds chirping in the forest would bring serenity to them.
Even in that silence, Hope was at least happy that Logan chose to walk with her. Their fingers would touch at times, but Logan would even try to grab it. That’s why Hope took the initiative and grasped his hand.
“At least, we can hold hands,” Hope said to him.
Logan didn’t stop her from doing so. They were on the straight path for a while before changing the route finally. Finally, the destination arrived where Logan wished to bring Hope.
“A hot water spring!” Hope had only heard and read about them, but could never visit one. “This water is said to have healing properties,” he opined. “Your arms bruises may disappear if you sit inside this water,” he added.
“So, | need to sit inside that water,” Hope asked to confirm.
Logan nodded his head. “In the reception, gown you may wear will be sleeveless. | don’t want questions to be asked about this since it will be uncomfortable for you to answer them,” he proclaimed.
“What if someone comes here?” Hope asked.
“This estate is mine,” Logan stated, ending any doubt in her of entering another person in that area. “No one comes here here unless | allow,” he affirmed. He then told her he would not be around, so she could enjoy the hot water spring bath.
After Logan disappeared, Hope undressed and entered the hot water spring. The entire water body was spread with a fog over it. Using her hands, Hope poured water over her arms before getting further down into the hot water. Hope didn’t realized until an hour passed and Logan appeared with a bathrobe in his hand.
“| have kept it here. You can wear the bathrobe and then we will go back to the house,” Logan stated. He placed the bathrobe on the clean rock surface and turned his back at
her.

Hope got out of the spring and wore the bathrobe. She grabbed the shirt and jeans, which were placed on the same rock and tucked her hair behind her ear.
Hope had worn her sandals and told him she was ready.
“Did you feel better?” Logan asked her.
“| did. The bruises which were on my arms for a while, suddenly faded. | wonder what kind of minerals does that spring water holds, Hope said curiously.
“As | said it has healing properties. It is said that the spring was blessed by the Moon Goddess in an ancient time. To keep it safe, it was given to the Moore Family and now the estate is in my hold,” Logan narrated the history to her.
“| see,” Hope replied.
They were finally in the house and Logan asked her to shower from lukewarm water once., “Let’s sit outside for a while then,” Logan opined.
Hope nodded at him and went upstairs. Logan watched her leaving while recalling what Hope said to him earlier.
Areal wife to him. If that might happen, she would want love from him. He decided to clarify to Hope a bit about his feelings. Since she already knew about his past, he decided to tell more about it to her.
Logan prepared a bonfire outside the house, in the frontyard. He even prepared snacks. for them, which they could have while sitting around the bonfire. Finally, Hope reached. there and was mesmerized to see that.
“What is it?” Hope asked, looking at the chairs, then fire in the middle and some snacks. placed on the small table between their tables.
“Have a seat,” Logan said.
Hope sat on the chair next to him. She felt good after the bath and now, this heat from the fire under the moonlit sky truly made her feel better.
“You even brought snacks for us,” Hope said and gazed at Logan before began eating them. “You know | always wondered how it feels like to be seated so freely; enjoying drinks and snacks with people around you. | never got to experience such things,” she murmured.
“Didn't you have a mate? Did he not take you out?” Logan asked curiously.

“Never. We would meet mostly after my college finishes or during my part time job,” Hope replied. She urged him it would be better if they didn’t talk about Daniel. “| hate everything related to him,” she stated.
“Alright.” Logan agreed to her. “I am twenty eight. Do you know this? I’m sure you aren’t either aware of my age,” Logan remarked.
“Yes. | didn’t know,” Hope replied.
“Seven years ago, | lost the one whom | loved dearly,” Logan confided in her. Am excruciating pain was still lingering in his tone even though it had been seven years of Olivia’s passing away.
“How did it happen?” Hope asked.
It was an accident. Olivia has planned to see me after returning from Paris and even called me where we should meet,” Logan began. “And then, an accident happened in the way. | couldn’t retrieve her body either since a fire broke into the car after it overturned and...” he paused since it was too difficult for Logan to speak further.
Hope placed her hand above his hand. “It’s alright, Logan. She caressed his hand.
“| could never come out of her. | dated a lot of women after her passing away because my grandpa wanted me to. But | could never get attracted to anyone,” Logan confessed.
It hurt Hope that even with her Logan didn’t feel anything. But she comprehended with his situation. They both loved each other a lot. So, definitely hardly with anyone Logan would feel the same connection as he felt with Olivia.
“But you are different, Hope. That’s why | chose you to be my wife,” Logan affirmed.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
