Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: She Fell in Love with Him Chapter 142: She Fell in Love with Him The moment James finished speaking, Natalia lost it.

“No!

No way!

Dad, I’m the princess of the Clark Family!

I refuse to marry some old man!” Logan’s expression remained completely indifferent, devoid of emotion.

“It seems Miss Natalia isn’t very willing.” James immediately caught the threat hidden in that simple statement.

He didn’t dare hesitate for even a second.

“No, no!

I’m her father-parents make these decisions.

She doesn’t have a choice.

I’ll make sure Natalia marries Mr.

Perez.

You have my word!” Then, gritting his teeth, he added harshly, “Natalia, Selina was willing to sacrifice for the family.

So can you!” Logan was satisfied, the corners of his lips curving slightly.

“In that case, I’ll look forward to the Clark-Perez wedding.

Congratulations in advance, Miss Natalia.” “AHH!” Natalia let out a hysterical scream, her mind collapsing under the weight of reality.

Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

Logan took one last glance at the chaotic disaster that was the Clark Family before turning to leave, completely unbothered.

“Today is Mr.

Clark and Mrs.

Bryant’s wedding anniversary.

I won’t intrude any longer.

Selina, let’s go.” Selina followed him, but just as they reached the door, she suddenly paused.

Turning back, she winked playfully at Katie.

“Stepmother, do you like your anniversary gift?” Katie’s throat tightened, her face turning an alarming shade of blue.

And then-just like Natalia-she fainted.

“Katie!

Katie!” “Mr.

Clark, don’t panic!

Quickly, get Mrs.

Bryant to a hospital!” “So… do we still continue the anniversary celebration?” “Are you insane?

The main guests just passed out!

Besides, do you really want to risk offending Mr.

Reid?” The entire second-floor guest area descended into pure chaos.

Selina left in a great mood, getting into the car with Logan.

However, as they drove, she quickly noticed they weren’t heading toward Sapphire Valley Villa.

“Where are we going?” Logan was driving himself this time-Jack hadn’t followed them.

“It’s still early.

I’m taking you to see Ethan.” Selina frowned slightly, puzzled.

“Ethan?

Why?” Logan turned his head slightly, his deep gaze locking onto hers.

“Mrs.

Reid.” His voice was low and deliberate.

“You promised me you’d get the scar on your neck removed.” Selina’s spine instinctively stiffened, a complicated emotion swelling in her chest.

She had always thought Logan didn’t care about her scar.

After all, in all their time together, he had never shown any disgust-he had treated it as if it didn’t even exist.

Yet now… the moment they left the Clark Family, he was rushing her to the hospital.

Did he think it was ugly?

So ugly that he couldn’t tolerate it for another second?

Back when Ryan used to mock her, Selina had ignored it effortlessly.

But for some reason… Logan’s words stung in a way she hadn’t expected.

Turning away, she looked out the window, suddenly unwilling to speak.

For a brief moment, she thought she heard him sigh.

The car gradually pulled to the side of the road and stopped.

Before she could react, Logan’s fingers gently gripped her chin, forcing her to turn toward him.

His fingertips brushed over the scar on her neck, slow and deliberate.

“Mrs.

Reid, what exactly are you thinking?” A strange, electric shiver ran through her body.

Selina instinctively tried to pull away, attempting to hide her neck.

“You… what are you doing?” Logan didn’t let her escape.

He lowered his gaze slightly, his voice steady.

“Do you know why I want you to remove this scar?” Before she could answer, he spoke first.

“Because this scar was left on you when you saved Ryan.

It’s a mark that belongs to him.” “And I don’t want anyone else’s mark on you.” Selina’s heart skipped a beat.

She had never been ashamed of her scar.

But hearing the same thing over and over again… sometimes, even a lie could start to feel like the truth.

She knew the scar wasn’t beautiful.

Logan gazed at her for a long moment, then, without warning- He turned off the ignition, unfastened his seatbelt, and leaned in.

Selina’s breath hitched.

She barely had time to react-“You-” Before she could finish- Cool lips pressed softly against her scar.

Selina’s entire body went numb, a tingling sensation shooting straight up her spine.

“I’m not a blind fool like Ryan, Mrs.

Reid.

No matter who you saved that day, this scar represents your kindness and bravery.

How could I ever despise it?” His warm breath lingered against her skin, enveloping her senses.

“But, Selina…” Logan’s voice dropped lower, his tone dangerously possessive.

“I don’t want you to have any connection to Ryan ever again.” Selina felt her mind turning hazy.

The moment his lips touched her scar, it was as if she had lost the ability to think.

She tried to process his words.

If she removed the scar, it would symbolize a complete severance from Ryan-a clean break from the past.

It would mean she had fully stepped out of that shadow.

Selina never thought of herself as fragile, yet at this moment, she was genuinely moved.

“Logan, you’re really good to me.” Logan’s lips curled into a faint smile, his dark emotions buried deep beneath the surface.

On his face, there was only gentle warmth.

“As long as you understand, Mrs.

Reid.” Good.

She was falling for him-it was only a matter of time.

– At the hospital, Ethan took a look at her injury.

“Selina, you can’t get this wound wet for the next few days.

But don’t worry, scar removal technology has advanced a lot-it’ll be gone in no time.

Now, let’s get you prepped for treatment.” He paused, then glanced at Logan.

“Logan, stay behind.

I need to talk to you about a few things.” Logan leaned down slightly, his voice warm.

“I’ll come back for you soon?” Selina nodded.

Soon, only the two men were left in the office.

Logan’s expression remained indifferent.

“What do you want to talk about?” Ethan clicked his tongue.

“Do you really have this much free time?

First, you attend James’ anniversary dinner, then you personally bring Selina to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Reid Group is in chaos.

Are you sure you don’t need to step in?” Logan chuckled lightly.

“Looks like the Reid Family is serious about the South City project.” Ethan nodded.

“They’ve already driven the price up to 5 billion.

You won’t back down, and Owen refuses to either.

But Reid Group is panicking because the actual valuation of the land isn’t even close to that.” Logan remained unfazed.

“Too bad Owen won’t let it go.

Some people only have one shot-if they miss it, there won’t be another.” Ethan: “…” …

A few minutes later, as Ethan finished explaining the situation, a nurse suddenly rushed in, looking frantic.

“Dr.

Drake, you need to come quickly!

Mrs.

Perry brought Young Master Owen, and they… they attacked Miss Clark!” Logan’s expression turned ice-cold.

In an instant, he was on his feet, striding toward the door.

Ethan was equally stunned.

Amelia and Owen came to his hospital… and had the audacity to attack Selina?

How insane were they?!

No way.

He needed to teach that woman and her so-called adopted son a lesson- “Wait, Dr.

Drake!” The nurse, still breathless, quickly finished her report.

“Miss Clark… she knocked Young Master Owen unconscious!” Ethan: “…” Ethan stared blankly for a moment.

Selina… knocked Owen out?

This was getting surreal.

Slowly, he leaned back in his chair and waved a hand.

“Ah, that’s fine then.

As long as Selina isn’t the one who got hurt.” …So why was Logan in such a rush?

…

Logan’s fury was uncontrollable.

Amelia and Owen.

He had kept them around for certain purposes, but he never expected Selina to get caught in the crossfire.

If she had been hurt because of them… His strides quickened, heading straight for the ward.

He didn’t even look at who was lying on the floor.

The moment he stepped inside, he pulled Selina into his arms, holding her tightly.

Only then did the suffocating rage in his chest finally ease.

A sharp, shrill voice pierced the air.

“Logan!

You’re just in time!

This bitch Selina-” The words died in Amelia’s throat.

Because Logan was staring at her.

And his gaze was lethal.
