Chapter 65: A Birthday Gift

Selina instinctively turned around, rubbing her eyes.

Strange, she thought she saw Logan!

She froze for a moment, and it wasn’t until Logan stood directly in front of her that she snapped out of it.

"Mrs. Reid, are you stunned?"

Selina quickly regained her composure. "What are you doing here?"

Before Logan could answer, a thought popped into her mind, and she couldn’t help but ask, "You didn’t come here just to pick me up, did you?"

The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked away. "Don’t overthink it."

He had been worried she might be mistreated at the Clark residence, and after some hesitation, decided to check on her. But clearly, Mrs. Reid didn’t need his help.

Selina: "..."

Why did it feel like Logan was suddenly in a bad mood?

Logan walked over to a small house nearby and unlocked the door. "I own property here too. Just thought I’d stop by and check on it."

Selina raised an eyebrow curiously. These villas, built 25 years ago, were somewhat outdated by today’s standards. Why would someone of Logan’s stature own a property here?

Noticing her curiosity, Logan replied nonchalantly, "I bought it for my 18th birthday."

Selina asked without thinking, "Your 18th birthday? You were already in college then, right? But didn’t you go to college abroad? Why buy a villa in City A?"

Logan narrowed his eyes suddenly. "How does Mrs. Reid know I went to college abroad?"

Selina mentally clicked her tongue. As the youngest son of Grandpa Carter, Logan studying abroad wasn’t exactly a secret. Plus, Ryan had mentioned it several times before.

But Logan clearly didn’t like people talking about him behind his back.

Selina blinked innocently. "Oh, I just guessed! Families like yours always send their kids abroad for education, don’t they?"

Logan let out a soft scoff. "A narrow-minded notion. People think foreign education is superior. I don’t."

Still, back then, circumstances had forced him to leave.

As that memory surfaced, Logan’s expression darkened.

Selina felt a sudden chill in the air and shivered.

Logan glanced briefly at the villa without saying anything else before locking the door. "Let’s go."

Later, back at Sapphire Valley Villa, Selina lay in bed and happened to glance at the date.

September 16th... why did that date seem familiar?

Wait, September 16th! She remembered Ryan mentioning it—this was his uncle’s birthday!

Ryan’s uncle was Logan, wasn’t he? So today was Logan’s birthday!

No wonder he stopped by the villa and mentioned buying it on his 18th birthday. How did she not put two and two together sooner?

Selina leapt out of bed, suddenly flustered.

She knew it was Logan’s birthday, but what kind of gift could she give him?

With this dilemma weighing on her, she began pacing nervously outside his study.

Five minutes later, the door creaked open.

Logan leaned against the doorframe, his gaze calm. "Mrs. Reid, are you grappling with some unspeakable dilemma? Half an hour, and you’re still undecided on how to approach me?"

Selina swallowed hard, her mind racing as her eyes landed on his wrist. "Logan, where’s your watch?"

He glanced down at his wrist, his expression neutral. "It broke. I threw it away."

Selina’s face lit up instantly.

His watch was broken—so that meant he needed a new one!

She could buy a watch as a birthday gift!

I’m a genius, she thought triumphantly.
