Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: The Woman He Cares About the Most
Logan’s fingertips paused for a moment before he suddenly curled his lips into a smirk. “Wait here for me.”

With that, he got out of the car and walked back into the bar. Two minutes later, he returned, holding a bottle of soda. “Mrs. Reid, do you want a drink?”

Selina looked at him, puzzled. “I’m not thirsty.”

She didn’t even like soda. What was he up to?

Logan casually played with the bottle in his hand, his tone light and easy. “I smelled a hint of acidity in the air. Soda helps neutralize acid. It seems like the perfect drink for you right now.”

Selina: “…”

Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment. Annoyed, she slammed the car door shut.

Who cared about acidity? He could drink it himself!

Back at Sapphire Valley Villa, Selina didn’t give him a chance to speak and bolted upstairs. A while later, she came back down, holding a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

Logan raised an eyebrow.

Selina elegantly set everything on the table, her voice calm, but her words dripping with sarcasm.

“Mr. Reid, we have plenty of fine wine at home. Why did you have to go to a bar?”

Logan sighed inwardly. Clearly, Mrs. Reid was ready to settle accounts.

Taking a glass, he took a small sip of the wine. “Mrs. Reid, are you keeping me company for a drink at home?”

Selina propped her chin in her palm, pretending to think. “I suppose I could. Wouldn’t want you to be too lonely and go around craving someone els—”

Before she could finish, warm fingers suddenly wrapped around hers.

He gently held her hand in his palm, his voice low and soothing. “I went there for business. I didn’t know Angelica would be there.”

Selina blinked, her heart trembling slightly.

No… no, this wasn’t enough. She wouldn’t let him off the hook so easily!

She let out a mocking laugh. “Oh? But the way she and those women kept calling you ‘Brother Logan’ made it seem like you were very close. I didn’t realize Mr. Reid had so many doting little sisters.”

Logan paused for a second, then suddenly chuckled. “Not many. Just one.”

Selina’s eyes widened in shock.

Wait… what did he just say? Did he just admit to having a “little sister”?

She had only been throwing shade, yet Logan had straight-up confirmed it!

Who was this “little sister”? Angelica? Someone from his circle? Someone she hadn’t met yet?

Her cheeks puffed slightly in frustration, but she feigned indifference. “Oh. Well, good for you. It has nothing to do with me.”

Logan smirked, watching Mrs. Reid try her best to act unbothered when she was clearly fuming with jealousy. His heart softened.

“Take a guess. Who do you think she is?”

Selina felt like she was about to explode. A surge of frustration welled up in her chest.

Not only had this man gone drinking at a bar in the middle of the night, but now he was openly admitting to having a “little sister”?

He was a married man! Couldn’t he have some restraint?!

She held back her irritation. “How would I know? So, aside from Angelica, there’s someone else you care about even more?”

Logan saw that she still hadn’t figured it out, so he teased, “Yes, but not ‘more.’ The correct word is ‘most.'”

Selina immediately felt even more sour.

“Then go find her—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Logan suddenly reached out and pulled his jealous little wife into his arms.

Selina struggled. “Who told you to hug me?!”

Logan lifted his gaze slightly.

His usually calm and composed eyes now carried a rare trace of amusement.

Selina’s heart skipped a beat.

Logan’s fingers brushed gently over her forehead as he lowered his voice. “I already found her. Isn’t she right here in my arms?”

What did he mean, “I already found her”?!

Selina’s mind went blank for a moment.

He was saying… that the person he cared about most was already in his arms.

As she stood there, completely dumbfounded, Logan’s gaze deepened with meaning.

“Mrs. Reid, I’m sure you’ve figured out who she is by now?”

Selina was completely stunned, and all the emotions of frustration and grievance suddenly faded away.

She stared blankly, unsure of what to say. “Logan…”

“Hmm.”

Logan handed her a glass of red wine. “I apologize for going to the bar without informing you. It won’t happen again.”

Selina took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing the confusion and hesitation in her eyes, Logan reassured her, “It’s late. Go get some rest.”

…

Not far away, Jack nudged Miller Butler’s arm. “Hey, don’t you think Mr. Reid is getting more shameless by the day?”

He went to a bar to see his so-called ‘first love,’ got caught by Mrs. Reid, and still managed to smooth things over—that’s next-level shameless!

Miller Butler gave him a meaningful glance.

Jack huffed. “Seriously, where does Mr. Reid come up with all these ways to sweet-talk? It doesn’t add up!”

He really wanted to warn Mrs. Reid—men cannot be trusted!

Miller Butler calmly replied, “You shouldn’t judge things just by appearances.”

Mrs. Reid wasn’t someone who would be easily fooled. If she chose to ‘forgive’ Mr. Reid, it meant she understood that his visit to the bar was a coincidence. If she truly believed Angelica’s words, that would only hurt their relationship.

…

The next morning, Selina woke up in Logan’s bed.

The spot beside her was already empty, but the sheets still carried lingering warmth. She felt groggy from drinking the night before, her body aching slightly.

She sat up, dazed.

Wait… how did this happen?

She was supposed to be angry with Logan, yet somehow, she had gotten herself drunk instead. That doesn’t seem right!

Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Selina instantly sobered up.

“Miss Selina, when will this issue’s jewelry designs be ready? The department is urging us to finalize them.”

For years, Selina had been secretly working with the shareholders her mother left behind. Most of Clark Group’s jewelry designs came from her, so it wasn’t unusual for them to reach out directly.

She pressed her fingers against her temples. “I’ll be there soon.”

The person on the other end hesitated before responding, “Alright, Miss Selina. We’ll be waiting.”

Selina quickly got out of bed, freshened up, grabbed the design sketches from the study, and headed out.

Jack, watching her leave, turned to Logan. “Sir, Mrs. Reid is trying to take back Clark Group. Aren’t you going to help her?”

If Mr. Reid stepped in, she wouldn’t have to work so hard. Clark Group’s jewelry division was Victoria’s legacy, yet Mrs. Reid was fighting for it alone.

Logan narrowed his eyes. “Some things are only valuable when you take them back yourself.”

If Selina hadn’t mentioned it to him, it meant she didn’t want his interference.

However…

Logan lowered his gaze. “I heard James plans to make Angelica the heir to Clark Group?”

“Yes, that’s what people are saying. Do you want to respond?”

Logan replied casually, “Send someone to deliver a message to Mr. Clark.”

…

An hour later.

Selina arrived at Clark Group’s jewelry department, but before she could enter, she overheard a conversation.

“Miss Angelica, I heard Mr. Clark is planning to name you as the heir. Is that true?”

Selina halted mid-step. Angelica?

Angelica’s voice was gentle and composed. “Don’t say such things. I’m just an outsider—there’s no way Uncle Clark would hand Clark Group over to me.”
