"Who is a?" Willam asked.
"A woman named Lorraine Sommer. I want to know everything about her, Loon said. He was used to being in control. Since his newlywed wide was a stranger to him, he had to do what he could to learn more about her.
William's interest was piqued. "Have you finallytalen for someone, boss? can rest easy now that you're interested in a woman. God knows how worried I was that you were gay." "If I were, do you think you'd still be single?
william snickered "I'll be honest with how close we are, I wouldn't be able to escape your clutches if you really were pay."
Logan rolled his eyes. "I'll give you half a day "
He didn't want to waste his breath and time on this pointless conversation, so he gave Willam a deadline to get Lorinne's details.
"C'mon, boss. You'w got to give me a photo so I know what she looks like. How else am going to investigare her? She can't be the only Lorraine Sommer in the world. I ca possibly investigate every Lorraine come across "William said.
Alter a brief silence, Logam searched for the photo he and Lorraine had taken after registering their marriage earlier. He edited himself out of the photo before sending to
1. "You've got good taste, boss-she looks good. She's not the type to catch your when you first see her, but she becomes
Witam whistled after receiving the photo. He said, " prettier the longer you look at her
"Her smile is innocent, and her gaze is guileless. I only need to look at her to tell that she's the simple type. Tran it believe there are still people in this world who hureen't been polluted by the evil in this world He paused, then continued, "Where did you meet her? Wherever it is, are there more women who are like her? I want to hang around there too. Maybe I'll meet another woman like her."
willium wasn't sucking up to top People in their since were all scheners who hid their true colors behind masks. It was rare to replace an unpertontious women like Lorraine

"She likes my children, Logan said indifferently without elaborating
"Oh. Is she amanny you hired for Finnegan and Luna?!
Logan
dadopted his friend, Terence Qual's, twins. This wasn't a secret among Glendale City's upper crust. Everyone who knew about this praised Logan for being good friend. At the same time, they scomed the Quall family for not wanting their flesh and blood
Yet it was also because Logan had adopted the twins and raised the ke his own that people thought he was in love with their birth mother. It didn't help that she and Logan had grown up together, so everyone thought they were childhood sweethearts
This resulted in Logan having a hard time replaceing a wife. None of the daughters of affectamilies wanted to marry him because they didn't want to be the was stepmother They would only consider marrying him if he were to send the back to the Quill tandly.
"Just investigate her like I told you, okay? Stop with the questions and get to work" Logan didn't want to go into detail on the matter and hung up
William muttered, "You're only making me more curious by keeping the truth from me, you jerk. You're just getting the twins a nanny, ayu's not like you're replaceing thema mother,"
He thought about how stoic and aloof Logan umaly was. He had never dated acpene and constantly turned down the blind dates has family wanted so set him up on. There was almost no chance of Lorraine being the twins' mother.
He grumbled about Logan being all mysterious and leaving him hanging. Despite that, he still ranged for someone to look into Lorraine's background.
Lorraine was just a regular woman, so it was easy to investigde her. Willan only took an hour to replaceewrything he could. He went through the dossier before going to look for
Logan.
From there, he learned that despite seeming ordinary, Loraine had nerves of steel. She had ignored her family's objections and taken out a milion-dollar loan to kickstart het career. She even borrowed money from friends and family
Wasn't she afraid she'd be in heavy debt if she were to fail? Wasn't she worried she would be able to pay off the loan despite working her ass off? And why did she return to her family's home in the countryside to plant fruits after graduating with a degree in landscaping?
william headed to the 68th floor with the dossier. He knocked on Logan's office door.
Logan had just received a location and message from Lorraine, "This is my address, Youcan just take a radi to the orchard's entrance il you're coming over. The mads have been pind so you can reach it directly"
Logan replied, "okay""""
Lorraine sent another message, "There's one more thing need to tell you"
Logan felt that typing took too long, so he called her, When she answered, he asked, "What is it?"
"I wasn't wearing glasses during our blind date, and I'm severely short-sighted batcally can't see anything without my glasses. Like, I wouldn't be able to recognize my mather without them," she said.
He bummed in agreement. One of his cousins was also severely short-sighted and couldn't recognize anyone without his glasses, Hecould understand torraine's condition. Bet what did that have to do with anything?
"got the wrong pay. You're not the man I was supposed to be on a blind date with. Your name is exactly like his, so I get you two wrong. I thought the matchmaker led to me, but I was the one who got mixed
up."
Logan didn't say anything Had she just realized she'd gotten the wrong guy? Could she possibly be thinking of gening a divorce? Were they going to have a flashmarriage and divorce on the same day? Corrame continued, "we're already married, so I'm not getting a divorce. Ididn't force you into this marriage ampay. You were willing party"
Legan smiled slightly. He wanted to chuckle but held it back. He grunted in acknowledgment. Yes, he was a willing party. She didn'Taree him to marry her.
, we can host continue like this, okay? You can take a cab bere once you pick the kids up in the afternoon. I think it's troublesome, but you do have to meet my parents. We
wouldn't want a situation where you can't recognize your in-laws despite running into them on the street," Lorraine said
"I'll be busy lately. The cherries and mangoes are ready for harvesting, and they're going to hit the markets soon. After harvesting this batch, squeeze out some time to meet your parents. Is that okay with you? int can make time to meet them tomorrow.
"oh, there's also the fact that I've taken out a milion-dollar loan with the bank Don't worry, though. I got into it before marriage, so I won't make you repay it with me. I'll draft an agreement, which you can sign when you come over later. That way, you won't have anything to do with my debt."
Lorraine wasn't the type who expected her spouse to help repay her debts once she married. She had brought the loan upon herself, so she would settle.
Fruits were selling well this year, and the prices had increased compared to last year. Thanks to her attentive care, the fruits in ery orchard had grown well and plenty
Once she harvested another batch of fruits before the winter, she could repay some of her debt after covering her expenses. As long as the market remained strong, she would soon be debi-In
