Chapter 176 Training
Elena was surprised by his words. She looked into his eyes with affection.
Logan sighed lightly, “Don’t worry about me. Leave the past in the past. I already move on.”
“Yes, I know.” But even she herself didn’t believe her words.
Although he said he didn’t care, it was heartbreaking to know that he was so lonely at that time.
“Stop being emotional. Your expression tells me everything. Come on, just forget about it.”
Elena tried to smile. He patted her head gently, “I remember Jacob hired a coach for you. You will learn some self-defense techniques. I think she might come soon.”
“What!? So soon!” Elena suddenly left his embrace and stood still. She didn’t get any training before. Now she felt so uneasy.
“What are you afraid of? It won’t kill you.”
“But it hurts...” She wasn’t flexible. When she was a child, she was sent to learn ballet. But only after some exercises, she decided to quit ballet at once.
At the very moment, someone was knocking on the door!
“Is that the coach?” Elena became nervous, and opened the door at once.
She was a young and tough woman. She was said to serve in the army before. Thinking of this, Elena subconsciously stood in a military posture, though she was doing it in a wrong way.
The coach was amused by her and chuckled, “Come on. Relax. Let me introduce myself. I’m Savannah. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Elena didn’t know what to do and turned to Logan helplessly. But Logan wasn’t helping, “Well, I’m going to work in the study. Call me if you need.”
Savannah nodded happily, “Logan, don’t worry and just leave Elena with me for a few days. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!”
“Great.” He replied and went to the second floor.
Elena knew that there was no way for her to avoid the training, so she sighed and accepted her fate. Savannah looked at her and patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry. It won’t be difficult or hard. I will show you some keys points. We could start with simple exercises.”
“Really?” Elena was happy.
Savannah grinned, but soon Elena understood what simple exercise was —an hour and a half running on the treadmill.
When she got off the treadmill, her legs were so weak to support her body.
Savannah frowned, saying in a serious tone, “Oh, no. You are too weak!”
Elena almost cried, but she stood up and accepted the training.
The training for another two hours was like torture to her. She was exhausted, and her body ran out of the energy. She fell to the couch and lay on it without movement. Logan appeared after Savannah left.
Seeing her lying on the couch sluggishly, he asked, “Tired?”
Elena didn’t open her eyes and nodded, “Well, I can’t move...”
“It’s because you seldom do exercise.” He blamed, but the next second, he gently massaged her legs to ease the pain.
Elena mumbled, enjoying his service, and after a while, she took his hand away, “I feel better now.”
“If you are too tired, take a rest tomorrow. OK? You can start after you…”
Before he could finish his words, Elena immediately sat up and shook her head, “No! I can’t give up halfway. Besides, my muscle aches because I seldom do exercise. If I rest for a few days, I will still feel painful and tired once I resume. I don’t want to suffer this again.”
Logan smiled cunningly, “You asked for it.”
“So you set me up!?” Elena realized that he just told a lie, trying to provoke her!
“No, I didn’t. I ask you to have a rest but you disagree with me. You are so strong-minded.” He reminded her. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Elena gritted her teeth angrily, “You did it on purpose.”
“OK, I am sorry. Then we will quit the training, OK?”
“No!” Elena snorted, “I don’t want to quit.”
Logan looked at her composedly. Now Elena appeared to be the unreasonable one, which made her unhappy. So she rubbed his handsome face again and again as a revenge.
Since Elena was trained in the day time, before the night fell, she felt asleep already.
Logan pinched her face gently, and she unconsciously rubbed against his hand.
“Have a good dream.” He whispered softly, tucking the quilt firmly for her.
Elena tried to open her eyes, “How about you?”
Logan didn’t expect that she woke up, so he patted her head slightly, “I have to deal with an urgent business first. Don’t worry about me.”
“Hmm...” She nodded dazedly, and soon fell asleep again.
Confirming that she was asleep, he closed the door and left.
It was dark at night. The doors and windows of the balcony were open, and there was a cold wind blowing into the room. Logan sat quietly before his desk, seeming to be waiting for something. Suddenly he received an email.
Then he got a call from Jacob, “Sir.”
“How is everything going?”
“I’ve been shadowing him for two days. He always went fishing. Seemingly he was alert. He didn’t do anything unusual. So we can’t get anything yet.”
Logan raised his eyebrows, clicking on the email. Jacob added, “But after I checked the people he has contacted in these days, I found that he contacted a person working in the hospital. He did a parental test.”
“A parental test?”
“Yes. They did it in secret. No one knows about it. But I guess it might…”
Jacob didn’t finish his sentence. He was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he didn’t dare to continue anymore.
Logan’s fingers tapped on the armrest a few times, and after a while, he asked, “Go ahead.”
“I am afraid...”
Logan’s eyes were cold. He seemed to have the answer. “It’s about Elena, isn’t it?”
Jacob nodded, and said in a low voice, “According to the information I got, you are right. I think Kent may know something about Elena’s biological family. Or he wants to get close to Elena and find out the truth himself.”
