Logan was surprised. Then, he chuckled and said, “If you have the guts for a flash marriage, M. Somner, what do I have for? have a good impression of you too have its Demind you, though-I have hepchildren.”
“They’re adorable, and 1 like them already. I don’t mind being their stepmother,” Leerane said sides, they won’t even his kids.

It was just that she hadn’t met the right guy despite going on plenty of blind dates. The men all had bones to pick with her too. That was why she was still being senten blind dates.
“I can tell you’re a decisive woman, Ms. Sommer, It’s good that happen to be the same Could you give me a moment while Lask someone to send my ID over Logan asked.
Legan got up and walked away. He called his brother, Daniel Moore. When the call was picked up, Logan said, “Bring my to me now, Daniel wait for you in the case on the Dirseficace Glendale Grand Hotel”
“Why do you need that, Lo?” Daniel asked curiously.
“That’s none of your business, just bring it over, pronta. I need it urgently.” As the head of the Meare family, Logan had always been daunting in his siblings and cousins. No one dared disobey him.
Daniel was curious but dared not ask anything else at Legan’s command. Alter he agreed, Logan hang up on him.
Logan returned to where Lorraine was and sat across from her. He said, “I’ve asked someone to bring my Dower. I probably take about 20 minutes.”
That wasn’t too long, Lorraine could wait. As they passed the time, Logoped her cup of coffee. She looked like she was from the countryside, but her actions were elep and poised as she drank.
Once she dressed up a bit, she would shine bright like aprecious gem that had the dirt covering it washed way.
Lorraine and Logan got to know each other better while wating. Based on Logan’s description, Lorraine leamed that the Moon famdy was a big family with a good upbringing.
Every member of the family got along, including the extended family. Logan was the oldest or his generation and had about a dozen younger cousins.
Lorraine almost spot her coffee when she had that once again, she cursed the matchmaker for lying through her leath. The matchmaker had told her Logan was an only child. She had also said he came from a good family despite being a construction möcker…
According to the matchmaker, Lorraine would become the lady of the homebuklupon maming Legan. She wouldn’t need to worry about conflict between siblings and other family members in inth, Lugan hadenebrother-Daniel-and adeo other comm.
“The construction site you work at is nearby, right?” Lorraine asked.
Logan’s eyes planted. He answered, “Yeah, I was at the secret’s indeed by
Moore Corporation was involved in the property industry. It had invested in the few construction sites near Glendale Grand Hotel, and he had come over to check on the progress without infanning anyone. He pretended to be a construction worker so that he could see what things were really like
He didn’t expect accidentally a courage and interesting work even going so far as to marry her. He hoped Lorraine wouldn’t ask for advance when she found out the truth one day. The Moore family didn’t allow divorcek, ko-matriage was something every member of the Landy Bd to consider seriously
“Do you need to let your site supervisor know that you need to go register you manage Inter? Lomame askul.
“Yeah, I do “Lapa pulled his phone out again. “riak him for three days off”
“Halladay should be enough,” Lorraine said. Registering their marriage wouldn’t take too long
“We’ll be husband and wife her registering our age. We should take a few days to get to know each other better, right?”
Lorraine didn’t say anything else Logan made a call to take some theoff!
Shortly after, Daniel arched with his ID.Legan didn’t even allow him to see one and chased him away after getting his ID,
Daniel couldn’t help thinking that Logan was acting very strangely, but Log sply reed in say anything. It only made him more curans,
Since Lorraine’s glasses were broken, she needed to get new ones. She thought about doing it before registering the marriage, but considering it needed time, she decided to get the registration
over and done with first Once she got the rage certificate, she could gogether glasses and fertile beer heading home.
An hour later, Lorraine and Login eiled the courthouse. They each had a copy of their marriage cemiticante. Lorraine was in a good mood because she could get her parents offham back and focus on her career now that she was married.
She held out a hand to shake Logan’s as they stood outside the courthouse. She smiled and said, “Eler’s to a good line together, Mr. Mone!!
Logan’s eyes up with a smile. “It’s my pleasure, Ma Somner. Where are you staying? I’ll send you home.”
“No, It’s fine. I have other things to do, so you can head home.” Lorraine timed down his kindness and continued, “Let’s exchange number so that we can keep in touch. I’ll send you my location once I get home.”
“Alright.””
Lorraine turned down Logan’s offer so send her home because she felt i didn’t matter much. They had taken the bus to the courthouse to register their marriage, and she had in take the bus home. If that were the case, why should she trouble him to bustle back and forth for he?
Besides, she had things to do her they exchanged number, Lorraine bade Logan farewell and left to catch the bus. Logan remained where he was, watching as she squeand
the bus and disappeared into the datance. He muttered, “Why do I feel like she’s afraid of me pestering her?
He pulled out his phone and called his bodyguard to pick him up at the courthouse. He needed to return to the company to deal with his work.
Lorraine knew nothing about this. She went to an optometrist to get a new pair of glassen. She was picking out the design when she received a call from tone.
“Where are you, Lorraine? You told me you arrived at Glendale Grand Hotel two hours ago Why haven’t your Mr. More pet? He’s waited for you for an hour and a hal
was almost roaring. Lorraine would be the death of her.
Lorraine hurriedly held the phone away from her ear so that she wouldn’t go deaf from fre’s mar. She only brought the phone hack to her ear after Irene’s outburst. She said leisurely, “Who told you that Mr. Moore waited for me for that long, Mom? It’s only been 30 minutes since we parted.”
“He called the matchmaker, and the matchmaker called me to ask why you’ve yet to arrive. Mr. Moore also said that he couldn’t over an hour?

Lorraine was lost for words. After a while, she said, “I can’t even begin to tell you how wronged teel, Mam Myphone’s been reachable this whole time, and no one has called me. How’s it possible that he couldn’t get to me? Hedin’t need to call me anyway. We’ve already met.”
“Do you think you can just say whatever you want and lie to me through your teeth because you’re out of the house, Lorraine? Mr. More wasted so much time waiting for you when you didn’t show up! who the hell did you meet? Trene snapped.
Lorraine was taken aback by Irene’s outburst. She asked cautioush, “Are you being serious, Mom? Is my blind date still waiting for me at the cat Glendale Grand Hotel?”
“Of course!” I was so angry that she was close to having an aneurysm. Those orchards were the only things Lorraine cared about she had arranged for Loraine to go on so many blind dates, but none of them had led to anything
Today, Lorraine hall even gone so far as to stand har blind date up! The matchmaker was so pissed that she swore not to introduce into anyone else in the future. It took a lot of persuading and appeasing on time’s part to quell the matchmaker’s anger
“That can’t be Mom, I swear I met Logan at the hotel had a really good impression of him, so we went ahead and got mantled. We just got everything done half an hour finallymanied, Mom. You don’t need to keep nagging me anymore,” Lomaine said.
Irene esilent. Corraine continued, “One more thing-this matchmaker’s a liar, he said Logan’s an only child, right? He has a younger brother! She also said he’s only 28, but he’s actually already 11. Also, he has adopted the children of a dead friend They’r four this year and adorable fell in love with them as soon as I saw them
“The matchmaker might’ve led about everything under the sun, but at least she was truth about Logan being honest and kind. Look at how he adopted his friend’s kids and raised them like they’re his own children despite being married”
Trene still didn’t say anything Lomaine had married someone she jist met. Yes, the man she married was named Logan Moore, but there wasn’t anything about him that matched the information the matchmaker had provided. What in the world was going on?
Irene’s brain short-circuited. She just couldn’t wrap her mind around the matter. She finally found her tongue after a while and asked, “ve youredly gotten married, Baine? Send me a photo of the marriage certificate, And where are you tight now?
“I’m getting new glasses done at the optometrist told you may old pair broke after someone ran into me outside the hotel, right? need a new pair!!
“You didn’t have your glass on during your blind date
“No. How could wear them when they were broken?”
Irene snarled, “Send me a photo of your managersificate and your newlywed husband right this instand-
Lorraine was severely short-sighted and blind as a bat without her glasses. She wouldn’t even be able to discem her family members it they were to walk right part her when she had her glasses off Trene suspecial Lorraine had married the wrong
Lamine noticed the urgency in Bre’s one and linked it to the things the matchmaker had said. She finally reed something was amiss and hurriedly pulled out her manage certificate Shechecked it to see that the groom’s name was Login Moore. There was nothing wrong there.
She took a photo of it and sent it to rene along with a photo of Logan than a minute later, I This might be Logan Moore, but he’s not the Logan Moore you were supposed to
called to stream at her, “Why didn’t you ask him more questions, Lorraine?
“I told you to bring a photo of him along, didn’t yet you did teed my words and forget the photo Look what’s happened now-you the wrong guy! He’s not the one you were supposed to!!!
Locale was rendered speechless. Had shemally gotten the wrong guy? That man was ingan Moore, masu
explained that the Logan she was supposed town’ the Logan she had married. They just happened to share the same name.
Lorraine was dumbfounded. What could she do now? She and Logan were already married.
She calmed down after a few mistes and told theme, “It doesn’t matter who marry since the to marry someone, right, Mam? This Logan I’ve married might be a bit older than we expected, but he’s the one I met and spoke to He’s the one I like ”
Trene had nothing to say in rebuttal judging from the photo Loraine had set to her, the Login Lorraine had marked was much more handsome than the Logan she was supposed to go on a blind date with in fact, he looked like quite a good match for Lorraine.
They looked good standing together. If there was one thing that made her keep her reservations, it had to be that Logan’s pane was too sharp. He didn’t look the the easygoing
1. pe.
She asked, “Do you know what he does?!
“He’s a construction worker. Didn’t you see his outfit in the photo?”
treme scrutinized the photo. Logan was indeed wearing a construction worker’s outfit, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t an actual construction water. “Is he with you now?”
“No. We went or separate ways after leaving the courthouse, I needed to get new glasses and Setzer didn’t want him with me?
Irene fell silent. Then, she snapped, “You’re much too gutsy for your own good, you beat How could you marry someone without finding out more about hand Do you know anything about his family? What If he turns out to be part of a gang or somethi
“Don’t come crying to me when you find out something’s wrong with him. There’s also the fact that you’re now the stepmother to two young children!”
Lorraine said indifferently, “You’re always saying that our dogs will roll around laughing if lever manage to marry, right? you and bad keep pushing me to get married, and it’s pelling annoying. You guys make it sound like I’m 37, not 27.
“Since I met someone and had a good impression of fika, Ligured I’d just marry him and get it over with. That way, you guys won’tnag and take jabs at me anymore. You make it sound like I’m a disgrace to the family for being unmarried at 23.”
She paused, then contatord, “Look, just relax. Your brand-new son-in-law can’t be a gang member. He’s an honest and kind construction worker. Besides, what’s wrong with being a stepmother? It saves me the hassle of going through labor to become a mother! I need to go, Momoak yourself an kond rotier to calm down.”
Corraine hung up without waiting for a response. She didn’t want İpene to continue ranting and cagling at her. Irene had been constantly urging her to get married, but now that Lorraine had, trene was berating her for blindly maerying someone.
Lorraine had gone on those blind dates with marriage in mind. Since she and Logan had a good Impression of each other and were alright with the arrangement, what was so bad about curting to the chase and getting married? It saved so much trouble
Now that she had taken care of her marriage, she could focus on her orchards without worrying about anything else in the future.
Summer was coming, which meant the cherries and mangoes would stet ripening. She had to quickly buy fertilizer and head back to the orchards to pick the fruits with her workers. Then, she had to contact the fruit merchants to pick the fruits up.
Moore Corporation’s 6-story office building was located in the busiest part of Glendale’s city center. I wasn’t the tallest building around, but it was a place that countless elites wanted to stop into
The CEO’s office was on the top floor. Logan came out of the lounge, having already changed it of his construction worker’s outfit He now wore a black sut
He sat behind his desk and thought about Locrane, his newlywed wife. So, he pulled out his phone and called his special assistant, Willam Cornell when the call was answered, he said, “I want you to investigate someone for me, will”
