Chapter 30: CHAPTER 30: A VIRTUOUS WIFE
After picking up the kids, the car drove back to the mansion and on their way back, Briar and the kids were busy munching on snacks as they talked about school.
It was nice hearing what they did the whole day, and if they had homework and so forth.
Although she couldn't help them doing other difficult homework, she got to learn a lot through these chats with them.
After an hour or so, they arrived at the mansion and everyone left for their rooms in a hurry.
They were going to the ancestral home, so they needed to freshen up.
Briar already packed everyone's bags, so there wasn't much for everyone to do.
If it was before her marriage, she would have left with the kids by herself, but this time, it was different.
She had to wait until Logan returned for them to depart.
While the kids were busy with their preparations, Briar left her room and went outside, where she stood anxiously as she watched the incoming car.
She just received a call that Logan was back, and as the wife, how could she not welcome him back home?
She was going to act like a proper wife, and let him remember her always, wherever he was. If it was possible, make it impossible for him to do anything without her.
Rather than waiting to be spoiled, she was going to spoil him to the heavens and make sure that no other female species would be able to enter his eyes, no matter what.
When Logan saw his young wife waiting for him there, he felt warmth coursing through his body, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his icy face.
The day wasn't a good one. There were so many issues at work that he didn't want to return home, as he needed to watch these lazy people fix them. However, he was needed at home and they were supposed to go to his parents' house.
He couldn't let Briar go with the kids alone this time. That would be too much pressure.
He didn't know what Briar and the kids spent the day doing, however seeing her waiting for him there, he couldn't help but think that it wasn't a bad idea to marry her in the first place.
If he had married others, would they even think about him or just think about the money that he was spending?
Briar's actions were never fake. Everything she did was from her heart, especially when he thought about that dreamy confession. Would a day come when he would hear it when she was sober?
His eyes lit as he looked anticipatingly towards that day.
The car came to a halt, and he naturally alighted from the car, his gaze fixated on Briar who seemed to have gained her confidence and was no longer that fidgety.
'This is good! My wife should be confident and not be scared by anything,' he greatly approved of this new side of her.
Briar beamed when she saw her husband alighting from the car, she confidently walked towards him and said, "Welcome home, Logan!" unknowingly her eyes were full of love, it made the butler and other servants watching look away after being fed by dog food.
Briar, unaware of her oozing love for the man, only had eyes for him, feeling too excited for what the day had to offer her.
Logan was quite taken aback by Briar's actions. However, the ego in him felt scratched, the corner of his lips curled upward as he responded, "Thank you for your warm welcome. How was your day?" and asked, as he naturally gave the other his briefcase.
Briar took the briefcase with ease as she responded sweetly, a genuine smile on her face. "The day was great. There were no mishaps."
Logan looked at her, hoping to pick a few reactions, but the other didn't let anything slip. He could only let it go, despite his curiosity about what she did for the day.
"As long as everything was fine, then I am relieved. Is everyone ready?" he asked as he started walking towards the mansion.
Briar followed on his heel as she answered, "They are preparing. We were just waiting for you!" her voice was very pleasing to listen to.
"Hm," Logan hummed and didn't say a single word.
Briar didn't bother to say anything after that, and dutifully followed Logan all the way to the top floor.
When he went to the bedroom, she went to the study, where she put the briefcase in place and left without looking around much.
Apart from books, safes and other confidential documents, there was nothing that interested her in that place.
She might as well go and serve Logan, the major thing she was interested in.
When she went to the bedroom, Logan was in the shower, and Briar, thinking of earning a few brownie points, went to the closet and took her time picking out clothes for him to wear.
Logan tends to wear dark colors the most. Although the colors were great on him, she wanted him to portray another color and vibe. It was because of these colors that his kids used to fear him. Even the other family members kept him at arm's length because they misunderstood him.
She wanted those around him to feel his warmth and not just look at him as if he were some devils incarnate.
When Logan returned to the bedroom, he found Briar mumbling to herself as she looked at the clothes, he presumed to be his on the bed.
'What is she doing?' Logan, who was used to picking his own clothes, wondered as he walked to where she was standing.
Briar didn't seem to notice him at all, as she was busy concentrating on what was in front of her.
As he approached her, a lovely scent hit his nose. He couldn't help but inhale that familiar scent and dazedly closed his eyes to let the scent linger longer.
Following the scent, he had gotten used to for a short time, his eyes snapped open as a sinister smile blossomed on his face as he continued to walk towards her.
Before long, Logan found himself doing the unexpected, and a startled scream filled the room in seconds.
"Ah~~~~~~" Briar screamed in startle as she found herself unexpectedly being held in an embrace that she wasn't looking forward to as she was busy with the arrangement of clothes.
Not expecting Logan to have finished with his bath and for him to embrace her from behind, Briar nearly fainted in shock after the scream.
Logan found her reaction very cute; he couldn't help but boldly place his chin on her shoulder, chuckling at her reaction.
When he chuckled, his chest vibrated, and that spread a sensation to Briar's sensitive body. She froze in place, her eyes shut as she chanted a mantra in her head.
'Keep calm. Keep calm. Don't get too excited. You will expose yourself!'
This was the first time that Briar felt his body so close to her like that. She didn't know what to do or how to react.
"What were you mumbling about?" Logan asked curiously, holding her in position and unwilling to let go.
He had caught her by surprise now. If he were to let go, who knows if she would dash out and pretend as if nothing happened?
"I ….. you ….. Logan, what … w-what are you doing?" suddenly the stuttering returned as she asked him with her body trembling.
Logan's eyes narrowed when he felt that body shaking for no reason. Was she too excited or in fear?
At times, she makes him confused. However, since he had boldly made a move, he wasn't going to let her free like that.
Besides, didn't she torture him a bit too much before?
She needed to pay for that, greatly.
Thinking like that, Logan's hands wrapped tightly around her waist, making her yelp in a seductive voice. It made his stomach churn and that part harden, making Briar, who could feel every change, stiffen in return.
"What do you think I am doing, dear wifey?" he whispered in her ears playfully, his breath spraying against her skin. She shuddered.
"You … I," Briar didn't know what to say.
