Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Childhood Sweetheart

There’s something he lied to Mrs. Reid about.

Logan didn’t actually know in advance that Mrs. Reid was at Evergreen Study today. He went there to investigate Luna’s true identity after hearing about her connection to Justin.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Selina.

And Selina effortlessly obtained a painting from Gordon.

Too many coincidences happening to the same person... meant they were no longer coincidences.

So Logan simply called Justin.

"Mr. Gray, there’s something I forgot to ask you earlier."

Justin’s voice was lazy, as usual. "Go ahead, Mr. Reid."

Leaning against his car, Logan got straight to the point. "I heard that you’ve been in Country B all these years. Have you ever come across the name Luna?"

Justin nearly choked on air. "...Ahem, why do you ask?"

"No big reason. I just had a small conflict with Luna a few years ago. She’s been hard to track down, so I thought I’d check with you."

Justin suddenly wanted to hold a moment of silence for Selina. "...Then you’re asking the wrong person, Mr. Reid. I do business in Country B, I’m not in the hacker trade. How would I know a hacker?"

Hearing Justin’s evasive answer, Logan let out a casual chuckle. "Thanks for your insights, Mr. Gray."

If he was 70% sure before, after today, he was 90% certain—Selina was Luna.

The only question was—why was she keeping it from him?

Earlier, when she saw the lipstick in his car, she was clearly upset. That meant she wasn’t completely indifferent to him.

Then why refuse to tell the truth?

Logan smirked slightly.

It seemed Mrs. Reid had a lot of secrets.

And he would uncover them all—one by one.

Sapphire Valley Villa - Study.

Selina felt uneasy after Justin’s warning.

No... no way. How could Logan know?

It had to be a coincidence.

If he was suspicious, he would have questioned her in the car. Why go ask Justin instead?

Just then—

"Miller Butler, Miss Hayes is here!"

A maid’s voice echoed from downstairs, snapping Selina out of her thoughts.

Miller Butler rushed out in a hurry. "Miss Hayes, you came as soon as you landed? Come in, come in!"

Then, a familiar, gentle voice followed—"Miller Butler, how have you been? I feel bad for being so busy abroad that I couldn’t visit you sooner."

Selina froze.

Miss Hayes?

That voice...

The woman she saw at Evergreen Study earlier—the one Logan picked up from the airport—was actually the eldest daughter of the Hayes Family, Rachel’s sister?!

Downstairs, Bella Hayes entered with gifts. "Miller Butler, these are for you. And these are for the staff who take care of the house."

Miller Butler was touched. "Ms. Hayes, you always remember us servants."

Bella shook her head and smiled. "Please don’t say that. I don’t think anyone here is a servant. Ethan, Andrew, come on in."

Ethan and another young man walked in—Andrew Martin, heir of the Martin family.

Selina had heard that Bella grew up with Logan, Ethan, and Andrew. Seeing them together now, the rumors seemed true.

But something about Bella felt... off.

Ethan spotted Selina and immediately waved. "Bella, let me introduce you—this is Selina Clark, Logan’s wife."

Bella’s eyes darkened for a second before curving into a warm smile.

"I heard about Logan’s marriage from my father, but I never had the chance to meet you. Now that I have, I must say—you’re quite stunning, Mrs. Reid. Logan and I are good friends, so you don’t have to see me as an outsider."

Andrew grinned. "’Good friends’ my ass. Bella, you and Logan grew up together—you’re childhood sweethearts. If we’re talking about outsiders, Clark here fits the bill way more."

Bella playfully scolded, "Andrew, don’t say that! Selina, don’t take it seriously, he was just joking."

Selina raised an eyebrow.

Selina’s eyes widened in mock surprise. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

"Mr. Martin, that room was originally a storage room. Logan said it was just sitting there empty, so he turned it into my walk-in closet. I had no idea it was Miss Hayes’ ’exclusive’ room. My apologies."

Andrew’s expression stiffened. "You—what storage room? That was Bella’s room! There’s no way Logan gave it to you!"

"But..." Selina tilted her head in feigned confusion.

"In the entire Sapphire Valley Villa, aside from the guest rooms, the only vacant space was that storage room."

She paused, then blinked innocently.

"Since Miss Hayes supposedly had her own room here, then aside from the storage room, where else could it be?"

"Unless... you’re saying it was the master bedroom?"

Silence.

Everyone’s eyes instinctively turned to Bella.

Bella’s throat tightened.

This bitch—she was setting her up!

If Bella claimed it was the master bedroom, it would expose her ulterior motives.

After all, what female guest would stay in the male host’s bedroom?

But if she admitted it was just a storage room, she would be humiliating herself—because she had boasted to everyone that she had the best private room at Sapphire Valley Villa.

Either way, she would lose.

Bella clenched her lips, then forced a gentle smile.

"Andrew, I must have remembered wrong. It’s been a long time since I stayed here, so my room probably doesn’t exist anymore." She turned to Selina and added sweetly, "Let’s not make Mrs. Reid uncomfortable over something so trivial."

Andrew still refused to back down.

"Bella, don’t let this get to you. Since Selina married Logan, she should know—you’re his childhood sweetheart."

"When you and Logan first met, she wasn’t even around. If she’s jealous of you, isn’t that just being petty?"

"Besides, I wasn’t wrong—even if you don’t have a private room here anymore, you still have a garden, don’t you?"

"Logan reserved that little garden just for you. Does anyone else have something like that?"

Selina narrowed her eyes. It’s not over yet, right?
