Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Fleeing in Embarrassment

Logan, unwilling to let her avoid the subject, gently asked, "Didn’t you tell Noah that the person you married is me?"

Selina awkwardly stammered, "I... I haven’t gotten around to it yet..."

Noah seemed momentarily choked, unable to say anything for a while. His mind raced as he recalled what Selina had said earlier—her husband cooked for her, drove her to and from school, and was clingy?

Was she talking about Logan?

Selina swallowed nervously, deciding to escape while Noah was still processing. "Mr. Brown, thank you for your help. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

Without waiting for a response, she bolted from the office like a startled rabbit, leaving only a blur of her retreating figure.

Logan interrupted Noah’s thoughts. "Selina is the friend you mentioned, the one who owes you a favor?"

Noah snapped back to reality. "Yes, that’s her. What a coincidence. I wasn’t expecting this. But honestly, Selina’s design skills are exceptional—I can’t be her teacher."

Logan’s eyebrow arched.

Exceptional design skills? For Noah to say that, it seemed his Mrs. Reid had more than just a casual interest in design, contrary to what she had claimed.

Noah, ever composed, took a moment to regain his balance before continuing. "I truly didn’t expect Miss Clark to marry you. She always said she’d only marry someone from the..."

He trailed off, realizing something.

Wasn’t Selina supposed to marry someone from the Carter family? Logan wasn’t a Carter—could he have found another way to help her reclaim her inheritance?

Thinking it over, Noah concluded this was the most plausible explanation. "Selina’s had it tough these past years. If you can help her recover Victoria’s inheritance sooner, she won’t have to struggle anymore."

Logan narrowed his eyes. Inheritance?

Selina had never mentioned any inheritance to him. And why was Noah speaking with such certainty, as if Logan had some unique ability to help her get it back?

Selina practically sprinted out of the studio like her life depended on it, gasping for breath once she was outside.

I must’ve picked the wrong day to go out. Just my luck!

After taking five minutes to calm down, her phone rang. It was a director from Clark Group.

"Selina, I heard Noah will be at headquarters tomorrow. Ryan found someone to talk to him, and he’s agreed to accept Natalia’s invitation."

Selina narrowed her eyes. "What’s the sentiment in the company?"

The director quickly replied, "Everyone’s full of praise for Natalia, saying she’s dedicated to the company. As for you... well, let’s just say the comments aren’t great. That pair of mother and daughter are practically over the moon." _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Selina chuckled lightly. "Aunt Green, are you sure the person Noah agreed to meet is Natalia?"

Director Green hesitated. "Well... that’s what Ryan said. If Natalia didn’t secure the project, why would she be so happy?"

Selina let out a soft laugh, her tone cryptic. "Because she’s foolish."

After hanging up, she sent Noah a message to thank him, then attended two classes at City A University before heading home for an early night.

The next morning, Selina received a reply from Noah: [Selina, I’m heading out now.]

She immediately got up, washed, and dressed.

After finishing breakfast in the dining room, she was about to leave when a car suddenly pulled up in front of her.

Logan rolled down the window, "I’ll take you."

Selina froze for a moment. "I’m going to Clark Group. It’s in the opposite direction from Reid Group Tower."

Logan replied in a deep voice, "I heard about it from Noah."

"Did you come specifically to drive me?" Selina asked, genuinely touched. The two companies were on opposite ends of the city, which meant Logan would have to go out of his way to drop her off.
