Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Annoy Them on Purpose!

Vivian instantly exploded like a stick of dynamite, shouting, "Stop playing the victim! Selina, I’m going to kill you!"

Selina sidestepped smoothly, and Vivian missed, stumbling forward.

She crashed loudly into the counter, clutching her side as she struggled to stand upright, her face twisted in pain. "One day, I’ll make sure you’re finished... Ahhh!"

The store manager and other customers turned to look, disgusted.

"Wow, this mistress is so shameless. Did I hear that guy call her Perry Miss? Is she really part of the Perry family?"

"Imagine, a Perry family heiress causing this kind of scene, openly chasing a married man. She has no shame."

Vivian’s face flushed red, then turned pale, as she noticed the judgmental stares. Furious, she screamed at them, "What do you people think you are?! I am the eldest daughter of the Perry family! Shut up, all of you! Shut up!"

Then she barked at her bodyguards, "Idiots! What are you standing around for? Help me up!"

Meanwhile, Selina quietly took Logan’s hand and led him out of the crowd, keeping a low profile as if nothing had happened.

Logan’s gaze lingered on the piano. "Are you planning to learn that piece, Distant Homecoming?"

Selina nodded. "Of course! But there’s no piano at Sapphire Valley Villa, so I decided to buy one myself. This one has a beautiful tone."

Logan narrowed his eyes, a playful tone creeping into his voice. "That’s quite an ambitious choice. Distant Homecoming is an exceptionally difficult piece. Many musicians have attempted it since it debuted, but few have succeeded. Selina, are you sure you’re up for it?"

Selina puffed out her cheeks, clearly feeling underestimated. "Are you doubting me? I studied it all night yesterday and already mastered it. I’ll play it for you when we get home."

Logan chuckled lightly.

Interesting—just a few probing words revealed the truth.

It seemed Selina had a rare talent for music. Learning Distant Homecoming, a notoriously challenging composition, without even having a piano? That was no small feat.

Paired with the innate elegance in her demeanor, it was becoming clear that Selina’s background held more secrets than the surface suggested.

Could she be connected to the hacker he was tracking? What had really happened during her years in exile?

...

Back at Sapphire Valley Villa, Selina eagerly flipped open the Distant Homecoming sheet music, her fingers dancing across the keys.

Logan stood at a slight distance, his eyes glinting thoughtfully as he listened, before closing them briefly.

Butler Miller’s expression changed as the melody filled the room. "Mr. Logan, isn’t that...?"

Logan’s voice was measured, though his tone carried significance. "Grandma said she was the rightful recipient and gave her the sheet music. It’s quite something—she can actually play Distant Homecoming."

Miller shook his head in amazement. "If the eldest lady were still with us, she’d be thrilled. After all these years, someone has finally managed to perform Distant Homecoming."

The absence of a piano in the entire Sapphire Valley Villa was a testament to the Perry family’s wounds, a secret tied to the loss of their eldest daughter.

Miller sighed, as if struck by a realization. "Perhaps, madam truly can bring about a new Chapter for us."

When the final note lingered in the air, Selina turned around, her eyes sparkling with joy. "So? What do you think? It’s incredible, isn’t it? I’ve never encountered a composition so intricate!"

Logan’s lips curved into a small smile. "Impressive. It seems Mrs. Reid is in a very good mood lately."

"Of course! I got a piano, a beautiful sheet of music, and no one from the Clark family has been bothering me."

Selina ran her fingers along the sheet music with a look of deep affection—it was clear how much music meant to her.

Logan’s gaze softened as he was about to say something—

But then, Selina’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID. Seeing the name "James," her expression immediately darkened.
