Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Indulging Her Endlessly

Selina blinked in surprise, momentarily stunned.

When did Logan get here?

That meant...

He had seen everything she just said?

Rose, her rant abruptly cut off, scowled impatiently.

"And who the hell do you think you are, daring to insult me? Do you even know who I am?!"

Logan lazily lifted his gaze, his eyes ice-cold.

Rose flinched instinctively but quickly straightened her back, unwilling to lose face in front of Selina.

She scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Selina, don’t tell me this is another one of your lovers? You’re absolutely—"

"Rose!"

Bella cut in sharply, her voice laced with warning.

Then, she quickly composed herself and forced a soft, gentle smile.

"Logan, I didn’t realize you were here too."

Logan’s presence was overwhelming—the moment she met his gaze, her smile faltered.

He didn’t even glance at her.

Bella’s face paled slightly.

Rose, however, had only just processed his name.

Her eyes widened in horror.

"M-Mr. Reid?!"

She felt like the ground had been ripped from under her.

Oh no.

She had just insulted Logan Reid to his face.

Her mind reeled. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.

Wasn’t Selina completely unwanted by Mr. Reid?

Wasn’t this marriage a hollow agreement destined for failure?

Why was he stepping in for her?!

Gordon, watching all this unfold, looked left and right in confusion.

He had simply taken Selina shopping, and somehow, this had spiraled into a full-blown scandal—with Logan walking in at the worst possible moment.

Gordon hesitated.

He wasn’t sure what kind of temper Logan had, but for the sake of Selina’s marriage, it was probably best if he took the blame and cleared up any misunderstandings.

But just as he was about to step forward—

Logan casually took a step closer to Selina and spoke, his usual cold tone laced with something... surprisingly gentle.

"Sorry, I was late. Did they make things difficult for you?"

Gordon: "...?"

Who was being wronged here?

Selina, clearly enjoying the attention, dabbed at nonexistent tears with a pitiful little sniffle.

Then, in her usual sickly-sweet tone, she complained, "Logan, how could I possibly feel wronged? Miss Hayes keeps insisting she’s your childhood friend, which means she has the right to lecture me."

"It’s fine, really. If I can endure it, I should. After all, if I complain, won’t they accuse me of stirring up trouble between you two?"

Bella’s smile froze.

This scheming bitch!

Logan’s expression darkened.

"Miss Hayes and I are nothing more than acquaintances. There was never any ’childhood sweetheart’ nonsense. I’ve explained this many times before—do you have a memory problem, Miss Hayes?"

Selina let out an exaggerated "Ohhh~" and then tilted her head mockingly.

"So all this ’childhood sweetheart’ talk was just a delusion on Miss Hayes’ part? My, my. Some people really have no self-awareness."

The words landed like a sharp slap across Bella’s face.

Her entire body trembled.

Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over.

Logan... how could he be this cruel?

Just for Selina, he was willing to embarrass her so thoroughly?

They had grown up together.

And yet, because of this ridiculous ’Mrs. Reid’ title, was he really willing to cut her off completely?

Bella couldn’t understand how she had lost.

She was better educated, more refined, and from a more prestigious background.

Did Logan... really just prefer women who acted all soft and pitiful?

She forced a smile, humiliated but unwilling to give up.

"Logan... I’m sorry. I should’ve been more considerate. But I really was just looking out for Miss Clark..."

Rose, however, was furious.

She couldn’t stand seeing Selina act so arrogant!

Clenching her fists, she snapped, "Mr. Reid, my cousin is right! Selina is being kept as a mistress by this man! She’s cheating on you!"

"A mistress?"

Logan’s brows lifted slightly, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke.

Then, suddenly—
