Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: What Is He Doing Here?

"I never judge people by appearances."

Logan’s voice was indifferent, chilling to the bone. "Besides, even with that scar, my Mrs. Reid is still a stunning beauty—unlike Miss Natalia."

Selina blinked.

Was Logan... comforting her?

Honestly, she hadn’t thought about the scar on her neck in a long time.

Back when she was with Ryan, he always looked at it with disgust, which made her self-conscious.

But Logan... acted like it didn’t even exist.

She didn’t feel insecure about it anymore.

Still, if it could make Natalia miserable, she might as well play along.

Selina immediately wrapped her arm around Logan’s and whined sweetly, "Sister, even though my scar is ugly, my temper is terrible, I’m spoiled, and I can’t handle hardship, Logan still likes me! What can I do? I guess it’s just personal charm!"

She fluttered her lashes and smiled innocently. "So, sister, can you call me Mrs. Reid now?"

Natalia’s breathing became erratic. The last traces of color drained from her face.

Damn it. Damn it!

What exactly did Logan see in Selina?!

A man like Logan should belong to me!

But if she refused to call Selina "Mrs. Reid" now, it would be too obvious...

"...Mrs. Reid."

Natalia gritted her teeth, forcing out the words like they physically hurt her. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I’m sorry, sister... I was just looking out for you. I didn’t mean to upset you..."

Selina raised an eyebrow and let out a mocking laugh.

Natalia’s old trick—crying her way out of trouble—again.

Logan’s gaze darkened. "Jack, see her out."

"Wait, sister!"

Natalia suddenly raised her voice, crying dramatically for everyone to hear.

"I know you don’t like me, but our parents’ 20th wedding anniversary is coming up soon... You will be attending, won’t you?"

Selina’s expression turned ice-cold.

Natalia lowered her head, feigning humility. "No matter what, he’s still your father. It’s a special occasion—"

"Sure."

Selina cut her off.

Natalia’s smile stiffened.

Selina chuckled. Oh, so she’s trying to use public pressure against me?

If Selina agreed, she’d be forced into an unpleasant situation.

If she refused, Natalia could easily paint her as an ungrateful, disrespectful daughter.

So Selina casually ran a hand through her hair. "I said sure. Don’t worry, sister—I’ll be there for the anniversary."

Natalia’s forced smile looked worse than crying. "Y-you will?"

"Of course, sister."

Selina leaned in, lowering her voice to a whisper meant for Natalia alone.

"The mistress and her husband’s anniversary, and they actually had the nerve to invite the first wife’s daughter? You really think I don’t know what you two are up to?"

She smirked. "Go back and tell Katie that if she wants me to show up, fine. But you and your mistress mother better be prepared."

Natalia nearly choked in fury. "You—you—"

Selina waved dismissively. "Assistant Cole, show her out."

Jack swiftly escorted Natalia out.

Soon, only Selina and Logan remained.

Logan’s lips curled into a smirk, his tone laced with amusement. "Mrs. Reid is quite formidable."

How could a woman like this have ever been bullied by the Clark Family?

Selina blinked innocently.

"Mr. Reid, what do you mean? I wasn’t being formidable. I was simply borrowing your power, acting tough while leaning on the real tiger."

Logan’s gaze darkened slightly, but he didn’t respond.

Just then—

Grrr...

A stomach growl broke the silence.

Selina froze.

A second later, her face flushed red as she realized the sound came from her.

Logan’s eyes glinted with amusement. "Looks like Mrs. Reid is hungry."
