Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: I Am the One in Control

Selina didn’t quite grasp what Gordon meant.

Gordon, at a loss for words, wanted to say more, but Logan had already approached.

"The Hayes Family ran into some trouble," Logan said casually. "Bella won’t have time to bother you anymore."

Selina rolled her eyes in secret.

As if Bella could ever intimidate her.

If Bella came at her, she’d beat her down.

If Bella brought reinforcements, she’d take them both out.

But outwardly, Selina let out a soft whimper, feigning distress.

"That’s good to hear. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do if Miss Hayes kept bullying me. They’re all so mean..."

Gordon choked on air, coughing violently.

He wanted to change the subject, but Logan chuckled warmly instead.

"Don’t worry," Logan said. "If anyone bullies you again, just tell the bodyguards to handle it. I own this mall—they’ll listen to whatever you say."

Gordon: "..."

Here we go again.

Selina could clearly hold her own, but Logan believed every word she said without question.

If this wasn’t blind devotion, what was?

Gordon was about to argue, but Selina beamed sweetly and batted her lashes.

"Logan, you’re so good to me!"

Gordon: "..."

He fell silent for two seconds, then sighed.

Maybe he was just too old to understand modern relationships.

Gordon glanced at Logan, studying him carefully.

He frowned slightly.

He didn’t recognize Logan’s face, but if Gavin insisted that this man looked identical to someone from four years ago, then Gordon had to take the matter seriously.

After a moment of thought, Gordon turned to Selina.

"Selina, I left something upstairs. Can you help me grab it?"

Selina nodded easily, not suspecting anything.

"Sure!"

As soon as Selina walked away, the gentle light in Gordon’s eyes vanished, replaced by a sharp, scrutinizing gaze as he stared at Logan.

Logan smiled slightly, his posture elegant and composed.

He nodded politely.

"Mr. King, you deliberately sent Selina away. I assume you have something to say to me?"

Gordon cleared his throat, suddenly feeling oddly pressured.

He was nearly twenty years older than Logan, but standing in front of him, it felt like the other man held all the control.

Logan’s presence was overwhelming.

Still, Gordon straightened his back, assuming the tone of an elder.

"None of us were informed about Selina’s marriage."

Logan chuckled lightly.

"You can rest assured—I am sincere about her."

"This isn’t about sincerity."

Gordon’s brows furrowed.

"Selina barely knows you. Why would she marry you?"

His voice deepened.

"Let’s not beat around the bush, Mr. Reid. You are a man with too many secrets. You are not suited for someone as pure-hearted as Selina."

Logan brought a hand to his lips, concealing his amusement.

Pure-hearted?

Mr. King, you might be mistaken about your dear Selina.

But elders always saw younger generations through a biased lens, so Logan let it slide.

Maintaining his usual calm demeanor, Logan said, "Mr. King, why not speak directly?"

Gordon paused, then examined Logan more carefully before asking,

"I wanted Selina to marry someone I know inside and out. Mr. Reid, forgive my bluntness, but I’ve looked into you, and your history from four years ago is... missing. That makes me uneasy." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Four years ago?

Logan’s brows arched slightly.

That again.

It seemed like everyone was obsessed with what he had been doing four years ago.
