Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Replaced

Selina blinked in confusion.

Gordon, already full of disdain, continued, "Right now, it’s Miss Hayes, but who knows? There might be even more Misses in the future. Selina, this man is unreliable. How about we..."

Selina suddenly started coughing violently.

Wait a second, Uncle Gordon, isn’t it a little inappropriate to badmouth someone right in front of them?

Gordon completely missed Selina’s hint. "Are you catching a cold? Why are you coughing so much?"

Selina, desperate to make Gordon stop talking, coughed so hard that her eyes teared up. "No, I’m fine. Uncle Gordon, why don’t you come inside with me?"

Gordon nodded, but his disapproval remained. "You’re coughing, and where’s Logan? He’s really not taking care of you properly! Selina, there are plenty of good men out there. Let me introduce you to..."

Selina nearly rolled her eyes. "Uncle Gordon, I think—"

"Mr. King is absolutely right. That was my mistake."

Gordon’s expression froze instantly.

Selina also found it hard to keep a straight face.

Logan walked forward at a leisurely pace.

One look at his expression, and Gordon knew he had heard everything. His face stiffened, but he still held his ground. "Selina, did you hear that? Logan admitted that he’s not good enough."

Selina: "..."

She had a feeling that wasn’t exactly what Logan meant.

The man chuckled lightly. "Mr. King, my apologies. I knew Selina wasn’t feeling well, so I went to get her a coat."

A jacket was draped over Selina’s shoulders. She swallowed hard and quietly buried the truth—she wasn’t sick at all. One lie had now spiraled into countless others.

Seeing Logan’s polite attitude, Gordon suddenly felt a little guilty for talking about him behind his back. He begrudgingly gave some praise, "Well, at least you didn’t let Bella get away with anything. That’s not too bad."

Selina: "..." Uncle Gordon, that was a really quick attitude change.

Logan gave a warm, gentlemanly smile. "Thank you for your trust, Mr. King."

Gordon clicked his tongue in his heart. He seemed to have a good temper... Maybe he really wasn’t the same person from four years ago.

...

Halfway through the exhibit, Ethan found Logan. "Bella probably won’t let this go so easily."

Logan raised an eyebrow.

Ethan sighed. "I really didn’t expect her to change this much. I used to think Rachel was the one always causing trouble for Hayes Family, while Bella had to clean up after her. But now, I’m starting to wonder... Could Rachel really have offended so many people on her own?"

Hayes Family never really cared about Rachel, and Bella had built her reputation by constantly handling Rachel’s messes.

In a way, Bella’s good image was constructed on the foundation of her sister’s disgrace.

Alice shook her head. "Logan, Hayes Family did give you a ’favor’ in the past. You can’t just make a move against them."

Logan’s smile was subtle. After the two finished speaking, he replied lazily, "I don’t need to do it myself."

Alice shivered involuntarily.

Logan remained indifferent. "Selina’s scar needs to be treated again."

Ethan nodded. "I’ll take care of it."

After the exhibit ended, Selina followed Ethan to the hospital to change her dressing before heading home.

...

The next morning, as she was preparing to go to the university, she glanced at the bandage on her neck and was about to take it off when Miller Butler quickly stopped her.

"Madam, sir said you mustn’t remove it. If you don’t like the way it looks, you can wear a decorative scarf instead."

Selina hesitated, then put her hand down.

It wasn’t that she disliked it; she just wasn’t used to it.

"Where’s Logan?"

Miller Butler smiled. "Sir has gone to Carter Family. But don’t worry, madam, he will be back very soon."

All throughout her class, Selina kept thinking—why did Logan go to the Carter Family?

It was obvious that Carter Family was at odds with him. The last time Old Mr. Carter came to Sapphire Valley Villa, he was clearly there to ask for a favor. Carter Family had treated Logan terribly, so why would he still help them?

Frustration surged in Selina, and she hurriedly packed up, ready to head home.

"Selina."
