Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 142

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!" _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

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.
