Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Fully Cooperating with Her

Bella’s tone carried a hint of arrogance—I know things your wife doesn’t. That means we’re the closest ones.

"Logan, looking into what happened four years ago isn’t easy. But I happen to have some connections, I can—"

Logan cast a cold glance at her. "Bella, you’re overstepping."

Bella’s expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly put on her usual gentle facade.

"Apologies, it’s just a habit of mine to look out for my friends. Since you mind, I won’t bring it up again. Oh, Logan, I passed by a store earlier and thought this would suit you. What do you think?"

She handed over a delicate box.

Selina narrowed her eyes. Tsk, this woman is doing it on purpose, huh?

She had clearly seen Selina but still insisted on gifting something, making a show of closeness with Logan.

Well, that was fine. If there was one thing Selina was never afraid of, it was dealing with a green tea bitch.

A trace of impatience flickered in Logan’s eyes, and he was about to refuse when a calm, teasing female voice came from behind him—

"Miss Hayes, what gift did you get for my husband? Let me take a look too."

Selina naturally linked her arm through Logan’s, leisurely opening the box. "Oh my, a watch?"

She lifted the watch and examined it for a moment. "Miss Hayes, you really went all out. This one costs at least three million. Logan, even I can’t bear to buy you something this expensive."

Bella hadn’t expected Selina to step forward so directly. Her expression darkened. "Miss Clark, this was a gift for Logan. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to open it like that?"

Selina blinked. "But we don’t really differentiate between ’yours and mine.’ What’s the harm in helping him unwrap a gift? Logan, don’t you think so?"

Logan raised an eyebrow, indulging her. "Mm."

Selina was satisfied. "See, Miss Hayes? Logan doesn’t mind, so why are you, the one giving the gift, so concerned?"

Bella’s forced smile almost cracked. "As long as Logan is happy."

Selina chuckled meaningfully. "Hmm, this watch looks kind of familiar. It seems to match the one on your wrist... Oh, is this a couple’s watch?"

"What a coincidence! Logan and I also have a pair. But aren’t couple’s watches meant for, well... couples? Why would you be giving him one?"

The nearby servants subtly glanced over.

Yeah... Giving a married man a couple’s watch? That was bound to raise some questions.

Bella was so furious she nearly trembled. How could there be such a shameless woman? Selina had already stolen the title of Mrs. Reid, and now she was flaunting it?! Bitch!

Bella’s eyes reddened, as if she had suffered some great injustice yet had no choice but to endure it.

"Selina, you misunderstood. I just thought both versions of the watch looked nice, so I bought them. I didn’t mean anything by it..."

"Logan, I’m upset now. What do you think we should do?"

Selina cut her off with a pitifully sweet voice. "Miss Hayes grew up with you, knows secrets I don’t, and now she even wants to wear matching watches with you. Sigh, then what does that make me?"

Bella choked on her breath.

Logan: "..."

He averted his gaze, his voice indifferent. "Jack, get rid of it."

Jack took the watch. "Yes, sir."

Selina beamed. "Logan, you’re the best. From now on, don’t let any other woman get too close to you, okay?"

Logan responded without hesitation, "Okay."

Selina’s heart skipped a beat.

She had only said that to mess with Bella... but she hadn’t expected Logan to agree so easily.

And somehow... it made her heart race.

Bella never expected Logan to handle her gift this way!

"Miss Clark, what exactly do you want? Even if you hate me, there’s no need to take it out on the watch, I—"

"I didn’t mean anything by it." Selina cut in smoothly, tilting her wrist just enough to reveal the matching watch on her arm.

Once he did, how could Selina possibly have a place by his side? _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Bella’s lips curled into a sinister smirk. It was fine. She still had Andrew.

...

Inside their room, Selina suddenly realized she was still holding onto Logan’s arm.

The two of them looked like a couple hopelessly in love.

Her face flushed. She quickly let go, pretending like nothing had happened.

"Ahem, Mr. Reid, Grandma just sent over a new piano. I think I’ll go practice for a bit."

Logan glanced down at his now-empty arms and raised an eyebrow. "Mrs. Reid, you were calling me Logan so affectionately in front of Bella, and now... you’re just discarding me?"

Selina stiffened. She had used Logan to flaunt their relationship and disgust Bella, but when he said it like that... it sounded so wrong.

She quickly corrected him. "What do you mean discarding? I was helping Miss Hayes see reality so she’d back off!"

Logan hummed as if deep in thought. "So when Mrs. Reid said, ’No other woman is allowed to approach you,’ that was fake too?"

Selina’s heart skipped a beat.

Why was he asking this?

Of course, she didn’t want other women getting close to him.

But... that wasn’t right. Their marriage had started as her using him.

If she started acting possessive now, wouldn’t that be unfair to him?

Selina blinked, swallowing the sudden bitter feeling in her chest, forcing herself to act indifferent.

"Of course it was fake. If you fall for someone else, how could I possibly—"

Before she could finish, a pair of cool lips pressed down on hers.

Logan didn’t hesitate for a second, taking full control, claiming her without giving her a chance to react.
