Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 1029

Rowdy?

What was that?

As the sound grew closer, Logan had a bad feeling. He quickly wrapped himself in his bathrobe and hurried to the door just as Martha pushed it open.

His tall frame tried hard to block the view behind him. "Martha, what are you looking for?"

"Rowdy, the puppy I just brought over. I don't know where it ran off to," Martha said, craning her neck to look past him. "Did it follow you into your room?"

"No, I came up alone, and I locked the door," Logan firmly denied.

"That's strange," she muttered, preparing to search elsewhere.

He was about to close the door when Lisa let out a soft whimper from the bed. Martha seemed to hear it and turned back, but Logan quickly shut the door.

Even so, Martha knocked again. "Logan, I think I heard a puppy whimpering in your room. It must be Rowdy in there."

"No, you heard wrong. It was just my phone notification." His tall body leaning against the door to prevent Martha from barging in.

"I'm sure I heard it just now," she grumbled as she walked away.

Logan let out a sigh of relief and glanced at the bed. Lisa had kicked off the blankets and was still sleeping soundly. She was never one to sleep so deeply, but last night, he had drained every bit of her energy.

He walked over and pulled the blankets back over her. To prevent any further unexpected incidents, he quickly headed downstairs.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, Lisa opened her eyes. She had woken up when she recognized Martha's voice. It happened right after she let out that whimper—one that Martha had mistaken for Rowdy's.
