Chapter 21 – If you can make a toad fly
Alex was just about to do something crazy when Grandpa Aristotle rose to his feet. He shared so much with Alex, and without a doubt, he knew what would happen if he didn’t take charge of the situation.
"Enough, Logan. I think this meeting is over. Everybody should go home and rest."
He was shivering from anger but tried his best to remain calm. Knowing the depth of Alex’s anger, he was not ready to bury another relative and was also not willing to revisit the past.
Those were times he struggled so hard to put aside, and since the information had gotten out in the midst of guests, there was only one way to ensure that the secret stays safe.
"If word about what transpired in this room, including Alex’s identity, goes out, I will find the person and personally put a bullet to his or her head."
The atmosphere was even more uncomfortable, and the fear Logan instilled in the air by revealing what Alex did thickened.
"I would inform the extended family about the wedding in the next twenty-one days, but Alex, I want to see you in my study now." He eyed the way Joanna sat on Alex’s lap, her cheeks pinked, and she quickly stood up.
Now he had no doubt there was some kind of chemistry between them, and this so-called love at first sight tale was indeed true.
Joanna could still not believe that Alex had carried her all this while, and though there was a lot of discomfort, being their first time in a position like that, she endured it. But if not for the fact that Alex prevented her before, she would have stood up a long time ago.
