Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Protecting the Legacy

Logan’s lips curved into a smile as his fingertip lightly tapped the screen, ending the call and making the caller ID disappear.

Selina, who hadn’t seen anything: "..."

Logan asked casually, "Mrs. Reid, didn’t you say you didn’t want to go public? So why did you change my contact name to something like this?"

Selina’s mind began racing.

What did Alice change it to? Could it be something like Hubby or Darling Hubby? It had to be something embarrassing.

Before she could respond, Logan added with a meaningful smile, "I didn’t know Mrs. Reid could be so contradictory."

Selina felt her throat tighten. She wanted to explain that she hadn’t made the change herself, but admitting someone else did it felt even more humiliating.

Her eyes darted as she decided to double down. "Just because I don’t want to go public doesn’t mean I don’t see you as my husband. Changing your contact name... what’s the problem with that?"

Logan’s gaze remained amused as he nodded gently. "Is that so?"

"Yes, exactly!"

Seeing that he appeared convinced, Selina grew more confident. "You can change my contact name too. We may be secretly married to the public, but we should still act like a couple in private."

Logan replied with an easy tone, "Mrs. Reid makes an excellent point."

Selina swallowed, still feeling that something was off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. "Can I have my phone back now?"

Logan handed it over. "I have a video meeting to attend."

Selina nodded, watching as Logan left before returning to her own tasks. It wasn’t until she had some free time that she remembered—she hadn’t checked the contact name yet.

Opening the missed call log, Selina nearly fainted.

The Best Husband in the World.

Her brain went blank, and she almost stopped breathing.

Wait...

Selina froze in horror.

Earlier, she had told Logan she wanted to keep their marriage private and under wraps. Yet the contact name was The Best Husband in the World.

No wonder Logan hadn’t let her look at the contact name earlier. He had obviously seen it all!

Covering her face with her hands, Selina felt mortified. Did she come off as a complete fool to Logan just now?

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to focus on something else. Opening her photo gallery, she carefully began searching.

None of the photos in her phone featured anyone from the Carter Family.

However, her mother’s photo albums were stored at the old house in BW Town.

Pressing her lips together, Selina realized she would have to make a trip back.

Logan finished his video meeting and thought about Selina’s contact name. A soft chuckle escaped him.

He wouldn’t mind going public, but alas, the name hadn’t been changed by Mrs. Reid herself.

"Sir," Jack said, knocking on the door before entering. "We’ve located the person you’ve been investigating."

Logan raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Jack continued, "The person was last known to reside in BW Town two years ago."

BW Town, a small town near City A.

Logan’s eyes narrowed. The hacker he’d been tracking had breached Reid Group’s computer system five years ago and stolen a confidential file.
