Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Selina Gets Slapped
What…?

Selina stood there dazed, her mind blank—until her lips were suddenly captured in a kiss.

“I—”

“Don’t talk.”

His lips were cool, his eyes darkened with desire, willingly lost in it.

When calm, Logan always seemed like an untouchable celestial being, aloof from all worldly matters.

But now, with his eyes tinged with red, he looked like a god pulled down into the mortal world—by her.

He kissed her forehead, her eyes, the tip of her nose… until his gaze finally landed on her lips.

Selina’s breathing quickened. “Aren’t you going to shower? I think—”

Logan’s fingers traced down her cheek, his voice soft yet firm with intent.

“Mrs. Reid, remember not to test my patience next time.”

A muffled sound escaped her lips as her body gave out beneath her.

“Logan…”

“I’m here.”

The kiss deepened, hot and demanding—and soon, Selina lost all sense of time.

…

The next morning, Selina woke in bed, memories from the night before flooding back with full force.

Beside her, Logan lay fast asleep.

The blanket was tangled, their bodies a mess of heat and memory. Her face flushed bright red.

Okay—stop. Stop thinking about it!

Selina scrambled out of bed to freshen up. She had no idea how to face Logan after what happened, so she slipped out before he woke.

In her rush, she didn’t even notice the vivid mark on her neck—a bright red kiss mark.

…

Not far away, Angelica smashed a glass in fury.

That bitch actually had a hickey on her neck!

Could it be… she and Logan… last night!?

Grinding her teeth, Angelica’s eyes gleamed with malice as she turned to her maid.

“Come here. I need you to do something for me. Go to Mrs. Butler and tell her…”

…

At the breakfast table.

Luke spotted the hickey right away and gave her a knowing look.

“Selina, good morning. So… had a fun night, huh?”

Selina: “…”

Luke clapped his hands together in mock solemnity.

“A vixen should act like a vixen. You did well! Walking in here proudly with a mark like that!”

Selina: “???”

She had no idea what Luke was getting so worked up about.

Midway through breakfast, the doors suddenly burst open—an enraged woman stormed in.

Before Selina could even react, the woman smacked her hard across the face.

Smack!

The whole room fell silent.

Luke’s expression turned cold. Just as he stepped forward to stop the madness, the woman raised her hand for another slap—

But Selina caught her wrist mid-air and flung it aside.

The woman, completely unprepared, fell to the ground in a heap, her expression twisted in rage.

“You home-wrecking bitch! Seducing my husband?! I’ll kill you!”

Selina stood in shock. Seducing someone’s husband? She didn’t even know who this woman was—let alone her husband!

The woman sobbed on the floor, howling like a lunatic.

“Look at this shameless tramp! Sleeping with every man she sees! Who raised you—wait, of course, no mother would raise a daughter like this!”

“What’s going on here?”

Angelica’s concerned voice floated in, sweet and soft as ever.

“Mrs. Butler says you seduced her husband?”

She blinked innocently.

“Selina, is that true or just a misunderstanding?”

Selina’s gaze narrowed as she looked over at Angelica.

This Mrs. Butler had come straight for her out of nowhere.

She didn’t even know any Mr. Butler.

So—

Was this Angelica’s doing?

A confused voice piped up from the crowd, “Wait, what? She’s a mistress? That can’t be right… Isn’t Selina Mrs. Reid?”

“Ugh, please. She might be Mrs. Reid now, but she’s bound to get dumped sooner or later. Of course she’d want to secure another man in advance! Mr. Butler might not be handsome, but he’s rich. Wouldn’t be surprising if she seduced him.”

“Yikes… Look at that hickey on her neck. You don’t think Mr. Butler gave her that, do you? She’s bold—cheating with another man while Mr. Reid and Luke are both here? Shameless!”

Butler’s wife shrieked, “Selina, I saw it with my own eyes! My husband came out of your room! You filthy tramp—what did you two do last night?!”

Angelica rushed over to help the woman up, speaking with suspicious concern, “Mrs. Butler, please calm down. If Selina really wronged you, we’ll make sure justice is served.”

Selina watched the two women put on their little performance and chuckled coldly.

She set down her glass, her lips curving with disdain. “Mrs. Butler, you say you saw your husband walk out of my room with your own eyes?”

The woman froze, her expression faltering with a flicker of guilt.

Truth be told, she hadn’t seen it herself. She woke up that morning to find her husband missing, and not long after, Angelica urgently sent someone to say that Mr. Butler had been spotted near Selina’s room. They even left together—and Selina had a visible hickey. That couldn’t all be coincidence… right?

Angelica wouldn’t lie… would she?

Fueled by false confidence, Mrs. Butler snapped back, “Yes! I saw it myself!”

Selina’s eyes narrowed. “Then tell me—which room was it?”

Mrs. Butler, flustered by Selina’s calm demeanor, barked, “Room 3106!”

That was the room Angelica told her belonged to Selina!

Selina smirked. “3106? That’s interesting. My room was arranged by Luke himself. Why don’t you ask him which room I actually stayed in?”

Luke’s face darkened. “Mrs. Butler, you’re spewing nonsense. Selina’s room was personally reserved by me—my own private room. It’s not even in the guest wing. It’s up in the snow bamboo grove behind the mountain.”

He sneered, “So tell me—did you go up to the bamboo grove last night? Or maybe you have x-ray vision and saw your husband walking out of there from the bamboo grove?”

The bamboo grove was far from the main villa—separated by a series of hot springs and hills.

So if what Mrs. Butler claimed were true, then Mr. Butler would’ve had to sneak off into the guarded bamboo grove, in the middle of the night during snowfall, without anyone noticing… to find Selina?

The crowd started murmuring. Doubt flickered in their eyes.

Angelica blinked and feigned surprise. “Wait… Selina, you were in the bamboo grove last night? But I thought I saw you around ten near the guest wing…”

Her comment gave Mrs. Butler an idea. She doubled down, voice shrill, “Even if Luke arranged that room for you, who’s to say you actually stayed there? Maybe you had two rooms! Maybe 3106 was yours too!”

Luke rolled his eyes. Is this woman for real?

He was about to call the manager to pull the room logs—when a sudden commotion broke out at the door.

“Mr. Butler is here!”

The man himself entered, looking confused. “What’s going on?”

Mrs. Butler immediately rushed at him like a hurricane, fists flying. “I caught you cheating! You lying scum!”

Mr. Butler flinched visibly. “Wh-what did you say?!”

“You slept with that whore Selina, didn’t you?! What did she do to seduce you?! Don’t lie to me—I know everything! You two disgust me!”

Selina’s eyes narrowed.

Something about this wasn’t adding up.
