Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Don’t Leave Me, Okay?

Selina’s mind went blank.

Her vision was completely blocked as Logan’s palm covered her eyes, shutting out all light.

Losing her sight made her uneasy, her other senses growing sharper.

When she blinked, her eyelashes brushed against his palm. She could feel a searing heat at the corner of her lips—a kiss, scorching yet restrained.

But the kiss didn’t stop there. It trailed downward, his lips grazing her neck, leaving a tingling warmth in their wake.

Logan’s self-control was slipping. What had started as a gentle, reverent touch quickly grew unrestrained, his burning kisses falling without order.

Selina’s breathing grew erratic. Before she could completely lose herself, she stumbled back a step.

"Lo-Logan!"

The man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze dark with intensity.

Selina didn’t know what to cover. She was barely wrapped in a bath towel—one that hardly covered anything.

Flustered, she did the only thing she could: she reached up and covered Logan’s eyes with both hands, her voice tinged with embarrassment and frustration.

"You—you can’t just kiss someone without warning! I-I don’t even have clothes on!"

Logan’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

Did Mrs. Reid have any idea? The way she pouted, throwing a tantrum, only made her look more enticing.

Even when she was angry, she was like a kitten, her tiny claws scratching but never truly hurting.

Logan suddenly didn’t want to let go.

Something flickered in his gaze before he chuckled hoarsely. "Sorry."

It was the second time he had apologized, and Selina swallowed, feeling an inexplicable ache in her chest.

She was the one being kissed, so why did she suddenly feel like she couldn’t even bring herself to scold him?

Logan grabbed a fresh set of clothes, closed his eyes, and handed them to her. "Put these on."

He remained a perfect gentleman the entire time, making Selina even more certain that he had only acted on impulse.

Once she was properly dressed, Logan left without another word.

Selina watched his retreating figure, a strange bitterness rising in her throat.

Why did his back look so lonely?

Half an hour later, as she prepared to go downstairs for dinner, she overheard Jack speaking to Miller Butler outside her door.

"Old Mr. Carter came again? After what he did to the boss back then, he still has the nerve to play the sentiment card?"

Miller Butler sighed. "Yeah, and I think it reminded Mr. Reid of his past. I just saw him looking really down... Sigh."

Selina cracked the door open slightly, listening intently.

Jack subtly glanced in her direction, then spoke in a strangely monotone voice:

"After all, Carter Family nearly cost him his life. Back then, no one loved Mr. Reid. He had neither family nor love, which is why he treasures Mrs. Reid so much now. But it seems he upset her earlier."

Selina’s heart clenched.

She had known Logan’s past wasn’t easy, but hearing Jack spell it out like this made her realize—she had underestimated just how bad it was.

Logan hadn’t just struggled.

He had barely survived.

So he had been starved of love growing up... Was that why he had lost control earlier? Was he just reminded of his past pain and seeking comfort?

And she... she had blamed him for it?

She was awful!

Selina immediately pushed open the door. "Where is Logan?"

Jack’s gaze darted away. "He’s in the attic. When he’s feeling down, he likes to shut himself in there."

Without hesitation, Selina turned to head upstairs.

Jack finally panicked. "Mrs. Reid—!"

Selina paused. "What is it?"

Jack’s face turned red as he wrestled with his conscience before finally blurting out:

"Mrs. Reid... there’s no one who can threaten Mr. Reid anymore."
