Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Could It Be Her?

Chapter 121: Could It Be Her?

A wave of intimacy spread instantly.  Selina’s mind went blank.

Her breath hitched as she gasped, “Logan…”  “Selina.”  Logan pulled away from her lips, his touch lingering, gently biting down before letting go.

Seeing her wince, he cupped her face in his hands.  “We’re husband and wife.

There’s no one else I would ever love besides you.

I don’t want to hear such nonsense again, Mrs.

Reid.

Got it?”  Selina felt like her brain was deprived of oxygen.  What did he mean by that…?

That there would be no one else but her?  So, in other words, he liked her?  But what was there to like about her…?  Beep.

Beep.

Beep.  Before Selina could process her thoughts, Logan’s phone suddenly rang.  Jack’s voice came through, serious yet filled with excitement.

“Sir!

I’ve found out that the person from four years ago went to City H after leaving.

It’s very likely that she’s there now-“  Selina didn’t catch the rest of his words.  Logan’s fingers slipped from her cheek as his thoughts raced.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

“I understand.”  Ending the call, he turned to Selina.

“I need to head out.

Someone will come pick you up tonight, alright?”  Selina replayed those words in her mind-“the person from four years ago.”  Bella had mentioned something about four years ago.

Jack had just brought it up too.  What exactly happened four years ago…?  Was that person really that important to Logan?  She knew she shouldn’t ask too many questions, but for some reason, a bitter sensation crept into her heart.  Watching Logan’s departing figure, Selina shook her head.  Forget it.

Now wasn’t the time to dwell on such things.  Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar figure.  Andrew?  And in his hands… was that a sheet of piano music?  Strange.

Why would Andrew be looking for Logan?  —  On the other side, Bella spotted Andrew approaching and quickly squeezed out a few tears.  “Bella!

So you were here!”  Andrew caught up to her in quick strides, his brows furrowing.

“Why are you crying?

Did Logan bully you?”  “No… I’m not crying.

You must be mistaken.”  But the more Bella denied it, the more tears fell.

“Andrew, don’t misunderstand.

It’s not Logan… It’s Selina…”  “Selina again?!”  Andrew’s anger flared.  Bella was the only girl in their circle-the princess among them all.

Everyone doted on her.  And yet now, she was being brought to tears because of Selina?  Andrew turned on his heel, ready to march back.

“I’ll make her pay for this!”  “Andrew, don’t!” Bella hurriedly grabbed his arm.

“I’m fine.

Don’t go back.

Logan will just get mad again.”  Bella’s assistant couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke up anxiously, “Mr.

Martin, please stand up for Miss Bella!

She traveled all the way from abroad to bring Mr.

Reid a gift, yet just now, Mrs.

Reid threw them all out!”  Andrew’s gaze shifted to a broken watch on the ground.  The assistant huffed indignantly.

“Honestly, Mrs.

Reid is being unreasonable.

It’s perfectly normal for Miss Bella to give Mr.

Reid gifts!”  Bella bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

“Andrew, don’t listen to my assistant.

Selina was just warning me to stay away from Logan, that’s all… Don’t blame her…”  “That woman is truly disgraceful!”  Andrew’s face darkened.

“You’re the darling of our group-what does Selina have to be jealous of?

Does she even deserve to compare?

Even my girlfriend has no problem with you, so why is Selina so petty?”  In their circle, Bella held an untouchable status in every man’s heart-especially Andrew’s.  She could come and go from Andrew’s house as she pleased, have dinner with him after work, and not a single one of his past girlfriends had ever complained about it.  But with Selina, it was suddenly an issue?  “You grew up with us.

We’re practically brothers!

Selina is just too narrow-minded.

If I were Logan, I’d divorce her in a heartbeat rather than deal with such a troublesome wife.”  “Honestly, even though Logan is married, Bella should still be his top priority.” Bella lowered her gaze.

“Exactly… Maybe it’s because Selina has ulterior motives herself, so she assumes that there’s no such thing as a purely platonic relationship between a man and a woman.

Logan and I are just close friends, but she refuses to believe that.”  “She never stops to think-Logan and I grew up together.

If there really was something between us, do you think she’d ever have the chance to become Mrs.

Reid?”  Her words planted a seed of resentment in Andrew’s heart.

From that moment on, whenever he saw Selina, that irritation was ready to explode.  He comforted Bella, “Bella, cheer up.

By the way, aren’t you performing a duet of Distant Homecoming with the piano master tonight?

It’s a gift for Grandma Perry, right?”  “If Logan knew everything you’ve done for him, he’d definitely be touched.”  Bella’s cheeks flushed.

“What are you talking about?

Who said I did it for Logan?

I just wanted to make the old lady happy.”  —  Selina couldn’t hold back her laughter.  She hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but they were talking so loudly that it was impossible to ignore.  So the saying *birds of a feather flock together* was true after all.

A scheming white lotus and her devoted lapdog-what a perfect match.  Even after getting married, a “close friend” should still come first?  And if a girlfriend or wife had any objections, that meant she was jealous and incapable of believing in pure friendships between men and women?  Selina nodded slightly.

She had taken note.  She would make sure Miss Hayes’ brilliant philosophy got the recognition it deserved.  But… Bella was also performing Distant Homecoming?

And who exactly was this piano master they were talking about?  “Madam, your phone has been ringing non-stop.”  Just then, a maid rushed over with her phone.  Selina glanced at the screen and raised an eyebrow before stepping into a quiet corner to answer the call.  A young male voice came through, laced with sarcasm.  “Luna, I heard you dropped three million on a piano-and almost got outbid?”  Selina: “…”  It took her a moment to recall what he was talking about-Vivian had tried to snatch the piano from her not long ago.  She was silent for a full minute.

“…Gavin, aren’t you a little late with your intel?”  Gavin Hill frowned.

“My world tour’s next stop happens to be City A.

Let’s meet up.”  Selina nodded.  Gavin came from a family of musicians and, despite his young age, was already an internationally renowned pianist.

He was also the one who had taught her how to play.  Wait a minute-Gavin was back in the country?

And Bella had invited a piano master?  Could it be… him?  Selina immediately asked, “Do you know a woman named Bella?”  Gavin sounded confused.

“Who?”  Selina let out a breath of relief.

“Never mind.

Send me your location-I’ll come find you tomorrow.”  After hanging up, she returned to her room and practiced Distant Homecoming one more time.

Before she knew it, evening had arrived.  —  When Logan returned, Selina had fallen asleep leaning against the piano.  He stood by the doorway, glancing down at the documents Jack had handed him.  Four years ago, he had been poisoned and lost his sight.

In his dazed state, a girl had saved him.  He had spent years searching for her, but with no leads-he didn’t even know what she looked like-it had been like searching for a ghost.  Until Jack brought back a photograph.  The girl in the picture… her profile bore an uncanny resemblance to Selina.  Could it really be that coincidental?  Could she be *that girl* from four years ago?  “Logan, you’re back?”  Selina’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.  His gaze flickered as he suddenly asked, “Mrs.

Reid, where were you four years ago?”
