Chapter 32\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane\u2019s expression paled, but she still rubbed her cheek gently against Logan\u2019s palm. \u201cHow could I ever compare myself to Vivian? I know she can be spoiled and arrogant in front of you, but I can\u2019t. I can never compare myself to her, or compete with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan was very satisfied with Sloane\u2019s response. He lifted his hand and gently ruffled her hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing how completely obedient Sloane was toward Logan, and then thinking of Vivian\u2019s stubborn, aggressive nature, Diana felt even more displeased with Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana said, \u201cIf you ask me, you shouldn\u2019t even go through with this marriage to Vivian. Sloane\u2019s already pregnant. You and Sloane should just do things properly and get married because of the baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deep down, Diana still believed that the child in Sloane\u2019s belly could only be a legitimate grandchild of hers if Sloane married Logan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s mood, which had just improved slightly, sank instantly. \u201cMom, I\u2019m marrying Vivian. That\u2019s a fact that will not change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s expression stiffened and darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane lowered her gaze and tactfully stood up beside Logan, saying softly, \u201cLogan, you haven\u2019t had breakfast yet, right? I\u2019ll go make something for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan nodded slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Diana saw Sloane head into the kitchen, she immediately sat down on the couch where Logan was lying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lowered her voice and said, \u201cSloane\u2019s already pregnant. Are you really not going to give her a proper status? What kind of spell did Vivian even put on you? You\u2019re going to let your own child remain unacknowledged just to marry her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan felt weak all over from his high fever. He rubbed his brow in irritation and replied impatiently, \u201cI\u2019ll keep Sloane and the child outside. I won\u2019t shortchange them in any way, whether materially or in their daily life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you like Sloane and the child, you can visit them anytime. But don\u2019t let that turn into resentment or dissatisfaction toward Vivian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana had spent her entire life in the family\u2019s village and held fairly conservative views. After Logan\u2019s father passed away, she chose not to remarry for the sake of her reputation and devoted herself to raising Logan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, what Logan said was something she couldn\u2019t process properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clenched her teeth and argued, \u201cSo, you\u2019re saying you\u2019ll let Sloane be with you without any name or status? And what about the child? Do you think Vivian would be willing to accept a child to whom another woman gave birth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan frowned, and the irritation on his face was obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian would never accept a child that Sloane gave birth to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And his relationship with Sloane was something that Vivian absolutely couldn\u2019t find out about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cMom, Vivian and I have been together for so many years. We have deep feelings for each other. She wouldn\u2019t tolerate anything wrong in our relationship. She doesn\u2019t know about Sloane at all, and you\u2019re not to talk about this in front of her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana wasn\u2019t happy. \u201cYou might be afraid of her, but I\u2019m not. You\u2019ve been together for so many years, yet Vivian still hasn\u2019t given you a child. She\u2019s just hogging the spot without doing anything. She should give it up to someone else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan was displeased by her crude wording.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was he, then?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone to just be used up and passed around?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you keep being this dissatisfied with Vivian, I\u2019ll just send you back to the countryside.\u201d Logan\u2019s voice was sharp with anger as he finally lost his temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana was still wary of him, so she didn\u2019t argue any further. She merely stood up angrily from the couch and stormed into the kitchen, her face sullen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the kitchen, Sloane had heard every ward of the conversation between Logan and Diana clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had thought that using the child to hold onto Logan these past few days might at least raise her standing in his heart a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she hadn\u2019t expected that, in the end, she still could not surpass Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
