Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Seduce Me? Don’t Even Think About Running

After a moment, he let out a quiet laugh.

No wonder Mrs. Reid had told him at the club she had something to say once they got home.

So this was what she meant.

Yeah, she was definitely mad.

When Selina really shut the door, Luke swallowed hard, both nervous and excited.

"You really just locked him outside?"

Selina’s face was expressionless.

"So what? He’s not Logan. Why wouldn’t I lock some random guy out?"

Luke sucked in a breath.

"Uh... wow..."

He knew better than to get involved. He didn’t want to be collateral damage if the gods started fighting.

"Okay, I’m going upstairs to sleep."

Selina nodded.

After Luke left, she finally strolled slowly to the door.

There was a small security window in the big fancy door. She flipped it open and peered out—

Where’d he go?!

The space outside was empty. Logan, who’d been there a second ago, was gone.

Selina’s temper flared in an instant.

He left?! He didn’t even have that much patience?

Sure, he hadn’t meant to get those rumors going with Riley, but he did go to her birthday, which gave Riley the chance.

And now he couldn’t even bother to stay and coax her a little?

She didn’t even know exactly what she felt. It was like resentment mixed with self-disgust. She let out a huff.

Fine. Gone? Not coming back? Then she’d just change the door code!

She didn’t hesitate at all. She yanked the door open to go reprogram the lock—

But the moment it swung open, a hand gently closed over hers.

Logan was standing right there, smiling slightly.

"Mrs. Reid, willing to let me in now?"

Selina tried to yank her hand back. It didn’t budge.

"I’m changing the code. Can’t have some criminal breaking in at night."

Logan raised an eyebrow.

"Criminal?"

Selina snorted, a hint of annoyance in her voice as she smoothed her hair.

"Yeah. My husband isn’t supposed to be back for two more days. Who are you, showing up at my house in the middle of the night? Obviously I’m changing the code."

Logan couldn’t help but cough lightly.

An angry Mrs. Reid was... weirdly adorable.

He braced his hand on the door and spoke quietly.

"I thought it was Hunter who called me to the CY Club. I didn’t even know it was Riley’s birthday. I didn’t bring a gift. Do you really think I went to celebrate for her?"

He made perfect sense, but Selina still felt sour when she remembered Scott and Riley.

Although Scott had paid a small price already... as for Riley...

Selina’s eyes gleamed.

"Fine. Come in."

Logan caught that look. He knew she was scheming something.

Once he was inside, Selina shoved him toward the bathroom with a deadly serious face.

"You know, you’re right. I shouldn’t blame you for someone else’s setup. You’ve had a long trip. Go take a good shower."

Logan: "..."

Mrs. Reid’s sudden concern was... oddly flattering.

He didn’t know what plan she was hatching, but he played along completely.

After he finished his shower, Selina pressed her lips together, looking a little awkward. But she held firm when she pictured what she wanted to do next.

"Logan, I have a gift for you. Lie down and close your eyes."

That one surprised him. Logan’s eyebrow ticked up.

"A gift?"

Selina hesitated for a second, then nodded firmly.

"Yeah. A gift."

The man lay down calmly, doing exactly what she said and closing his eyes.

"I was really angry when I saw those photos and those rumors about you and Riley." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
