Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: A Warning Delivered

The man’s lips curved into a faint, elusive smile. Behind the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and his gaze collided mid-air with Selina’s.

Selina: "..."

Her throat tightened, and she nearly choked, a wave of panic surging within her. Why is Logan here?! More importantly, how much did he hear?!

She swallowed hard, forcing herself to stay composed as she quickly stepped forward. Tentatively, she asked, "Mr. Reid, when did you arrive?"

Logan glanced at her lazily, his tone unhurried. "Just now."

Selina exhaled in relief. Good. He shouldn’t have seen anything important.

"From the moment Clark Miss kicked that man, I saw everything," Logan added slowly, as if determined to make her embarrassment complete.

Selina’s just-recovered composure shattered again, her entire body stiffening. Kicking someone counts as ’just now’? This man’s definition of time is truly unique.

Logan seemed to savor her flustered expression, the smile on his lips deepening slightly. There was a gentle warmth to it, yet beneath that warmth lay a chill, like the deceptive spring breeze following a snowstorm.

He stepped closer, his towering figure leaning in slightly. His narrowed eyes glinted with danger. "I saw Ryan grabbing your hand just now, Miss Clark. What were you two discussing?"

His sudden proximity unsettled Selina’s composure.

His breath enveloped her, his low voice enough to make her ears burn. She instinctively noticed the subtle movement of his Adam’s apple and the small mole at the corner of his eye—a strangely alluring touch that added a hint of deadly charm to his already magnetic presence.

It’s a pity... Such an unbelievably attractive man... yet impotent. Selina sighed inwardly, feeling it was a terrible waste.

Still, she couldn’t very well tell Logan, "Your nephew said you’re impotent," could she?

After a brief pause, her eyes darted briefly before she offered a relaxed smile. "Nothing important. Ryan was just being rude, spouting nonsense, and even trying to stir up trouble in our marriage."

As she finished speaking, her gaze betrayed her for a split second, involuntarily flicking downward toward Logan’s lower half. Realizing her blunder, she immediately snapped her eyes back up as if burned.

Logan noticed the slip and his eyes darkened slightly, narrowing as an enigmatic glint flashed in them.

"Stirring up trouble in our marriage?" His voice was low, devoid of discernible emotion, yet laced with a sharp edge.

Selina shivered, alarms blaring in her mind. What the hell was I thinking? Why did I look there? That’s like poking at someone’s sore spot!

In an attempt to salvage the situation, she hurriedly deflected, pinning the blame back on Ryan. "Ryan wanted me to apologize to Natalia. Mr. Reid, can you believe it? He actually thought I’d agree to such nonsense. I got upset and kicked him."

Logan’s smile deepened slightly, his tone faintly amused. "Miss Clark sounds so aggrieved. Are you asking me to stand up for you?"

Selina instinctively nodded, then realized how ridiculous she must look. Lowering her head, she mumbled in a quieter voice, "I just think someone like Ryan needs to be taught a lesson."

Logan responded softly, "Very well."

Standing nearby, Jack, Logan’s assistant, shivered involuntarily. What did Ryan do to deserve this? Getting kicked twice by Mrs. Reid wasn’t enough; now Mr. Reid himself is going to "educate" him? And Logan’s "lessons" were something only the truly unfortunate had the misfortune of experiencing.

Half an hour later, their car came to a smooth stop at Sapphire Valley Villa.

Selina stepped out and headed straight for the entrance. Logan followed unhurriedly, his earlier warmth and ease wiped away, replaced by a chilling, dangerous aura. His eyes were sharp as blades, exuding a murderous intent that sent shivers down Jack’s spine.

Jack dared not ask, cut off what exactly, and quickly nodded. "Understood, sir." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
