Chapter 30 Making The Most Of Logan’s Money
Layla was at fault for this, so she complied. “All right. Let’s go shopping.”
Since they weren’t spending her money, she felt like shopping to her heart’s content.
The faint smile on Logan’s lips went unnoticed by her.

She carefully studied the layout of the shopping mall upon their arrival. It was crucial to gather information through. observation as she planned to develop a commercial area later.
Suddenly, she felt someone’s fingers intertwined with hers. Startled, she withdrew her hand and gave Logan a wary look. He had just returned with a cup of coffee.
“What are you doing?”
“Let’s hold hands. They’re taking photos of us.”
He signaled her to look at a person nearby who seemed to be a paparazzi holding a camera.
Despite finding it bothersome, she reluctantly agreed.
Then, he took out his phone and turned on its camera
“What now?”
“Taking selfies.”
She was speechless.
She forced a smile in front of the camera. He noticed it and scolded, “Can’t you smile?”
She intended to smile, yet she couldn’t bring herself to do so when she saw him on the screen.
Lastly, she managed a smile, albeit looking more like a frown.
Annoyed, he put away his phone.
Happy that she was freed from taking selfies with him, she purchased a few new clothes.
It’s his money! I need to seize the opportunity!
At noon, Logan brought her to an elegant cafe and ordered the afternoon tea set for her. He was having a cup of coffee across from her.
Satisfied with her purchases, Layla savored the snacks.
Warmth filled Logan’s heart at the sight of her. He fished out his phone and took a selfie with her, which showed half of his face when she wasn’t looking.
She heard the sound of the camera snapping a photo. Looking up in confusion, she asked, “What are you doing?”
He smoothed out his shirt and casually brushed her off, “The scones look delicious, so I took a picture.”
“Huh?” She found it funny.
He’s weak to such cutesy things, eh?
“Are you finished?”
Yeah”
“Let’s go.” Logan rose to settle the bill at the counter. He had used his cards to treat her numerous times that day.

Chapter 30 Making The Most Of Logan’s Money
Layla figured internally, He looks less like a jerk when he pays for me. Other times, he’s still a jerk.
She fell asleep on the way back after a long day. He drove slower as he glanced at the woman sleeping in the front
seat.
Logan parked the car on the roadside, took out a throw blanket from the back seat, and covered her.
After that, he watched Lays in silence. She’s quite adorable when she’s not talking back to me.
“Logan…” she murmured.
His heart skipped a beat at the mention of his name. He leaned in closer, only to hear her sleep talk. “Go to hell…”
A shadow darkened his face as he yelled her name.

Layla was startled awake by his voice. She wiped the corners of her mouth and looked outside the window. “What’s wrong? Are we home?”
She turned around to find his displeased look. “What’s that look for? What did I do to upset you again?”
She found him frowning multiple times throughout the day. If he hates hanging out with me that much, why did he ask me out in the first place?
Layla refrained from speaking her mind.
Logan deliberately ignored her and hit the accelerator. “Pay me back the money you spent today when we get home.”
She scowled at his announcement. “You asked me out in the first place. How could you ask me to pay for myself after that?”
“It’s just for show.”
“What’s wrong with a man spending money on his wife?”
“It’s a contractual marriage. You said it yourself,” he debated.
She was left speechless. What a fool I am to think I can take advantage of him. He’s a businessman, after all. He won’t mistreat himself. “You’re stingy!”
At that, Layla inhaled deeply. Whatever. No need to get angry over such trivial matters. I don’t want to owe him anyway. He wants the money
back. Fine. I’ll do as he wishes.
Upon arriving home, her phone was bombarded with news feeds, featuring photos of them shopping together.
The news with the hashtags–TheRobinsonsHolding Hands‘ and ‘CEOSpoilingHisWife overwhelmed her.
Layla gritted her teeth when she was the one who gave the hashtag of ‘CEOSpentMoneyOnWife‘.
No, he didn’t! He wants me to pay him back!
Glancing at Logan, who was washing his hands in the kitchen, she said, “I’ve been tight on money recently, so―”
“It’s fine. You can pay in installments.”
Layla was frustrated by his indifference. She took out her bank card and slammed it on the table. “Here you go!”
I shouldn’t have bought the jewelry. She felt a twinge of regret.
“Okay” Logan nodded. “Are you cooking dinner?”
“Of course.”
As he gave María a day off, he had to cook by himself.
I can’t possibly eat Layla’s cooking. I doubt they’re edible. Logan’s face betrayed his worries. He doesn’t trust my cooking skills. Whatever. I don’t care. It saves me the trouble of cooking. I should just embrace my free time

Logan and Layla went shopping together. She recognized them at one glance even though they wore masks.
“Oh God. I wish I had a wealthy man as my husband, too. It must be so wonderful.” Crystal giggled, not recognizing the pair in the photos.
Amy couldn’t help but sigh. “Save it. We ordinary people would never come across a man like that. At most, we would run into their bald employees.”
“You’re wrong! Take Harper for example. Her boyfriend is a rich and handsome CEO,” Crystal retorted and threw her arms around Harper. “Harper, don’t forget about us even after you get married!”
Harper forced a smile, but she felt anxiety growing within her.
Her dorm mate didn’t know her so–called boyfriend was Logan. He had never liked showing his face to the public, yet he had been making headlines lately.
Once they recognize him, they’ll realize I lied to them all along. I can’t be at ease as long as Layla is around. The idea made her bite her lips. I need to find a way to make Layla leave the university for good.
