Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470: A Test on a Whim

Everyone was surprised—no one expected Mr. Reid to speak with such cold indifference, let alone about this.

Selina rested her chin on one hand. "Mrs. Reid, are you curious what Mr. Reid just told me?"

The imposter stiffened. "He..."

"He talked about your marriage. I found it so interesting. Don’t you want to hear what he said?"

They were sitting in the lounge area. Guests came and went, and many overheard Selina’s question. Their curiosity was piqued—why did Mr. Reid and Mrs. Reid get married? What triggered it? Not many people knew. Now, everyone stopped to listen.

The imposter forced a smile. "It’s all in the past. Nothing worth repeating."

"That’s true. Since Mrs. Reid lived through it, hearing her own story again must be dull."

Selina nodded in agreement—then, just as the imposter was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Selina added, "But there are a few little details I’m dying to know. Maybe Mrs. Reid could clear them up for me?"

Logan glanced over with an amused smile.

The imposter tensed instantly but kept her voice soft and gentle. "What would you like to know, Miss Carter?"

Selina’s eyes drifted to the scar on the imposter’s neck. Her lips curled into a smile.

"Mr. Reid said he agreed to marry Mrs. Reid because of the scar on her neck. I can’t help but wonder—what’s the story behind it? Why would that scar matter to him?"

Logan raised an eyebrow.

...They hadn’t talked about that at all.

Selina made that up on the spot.

Logan had never mentioned the scar, but if Selina brought it up now—maybe she wanted answers too?

The imposter was clearly thrown off.

"This scar? Oh, wow, it’s got quite the story!" Luke suddenly appeared, squeezing his way in like he’d just remembered something. He looked at Selina, eyes wide with disbelief, barely masking his surprise.

Then he strolled up to the imposter, acting nonchalant and overly enthusiastic, hooking the crowd in with his words. "Ahem. This scar, believe it or not, is basically the red string of fate between my brother and my sister-in-law."

The crowd leaned in, intrigued.

A scar that led to a marriage? It sounded like the start of a touching tale.

But then Luke waved his hand dramatically. "Ah, but that’s a story only my sister-in-law can tell. Right, sis?"

He put extra weight on "sister-in-law," making the imposter flinch.

...What story could there possibly be? That scar came from when Selina got hurt trying to protect Ryan. It had nothing to do with Logan!

Panic rose inside the imposter. "Luke, there’s nothing much to say. It’s just—"

"But sis, everyone’s so curious. And it’s not like it’s a secret, right?"

Luke blinked innocently. "Come on, just tell them."

Now that Luke had brought it up, the ladies in the lounge were even more eager.

But the imposter’s face turned paler by the second. She couldn’t get a single word out.

"What’s wrong, Mrs. Reid?" Selina said with a slow, sweet smile. "You don’t want to share? Or... you don’t even know?"

The imposter’s eyes lit up. Of course! She could just say she didn’t know—say that Logan fell for her at first sight, but she never really understood why!

Just as she opened her mouth, Luke cut her off with perfect timing. "How could you not know? You’re the one who remembers it best! Come on, sis—give the people what they want."
