Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Selina Turns the Tables

As soon as Selina finished speaking, the entire private room fell into dead silence. Everyone exchanged glances, too stunned to say a word.

On one side was Angelica—the woman who had saved Logan’s life, the "white moonlight" he had searched for over the past four years. On the other was Selina—his newlywed wife, seemingly unloved, yet holding the rightful title of Mrs. Reid.

Two women, standing off against each other. Who would come out on top?

Angelica maintained her gentle smile. "Selina, dear sister, what are you talking about?"

Selina remained calm. "I think you know exactly what I’m talking about. Everyone here knows what’s on your mind—there’s no need to play dumb."

The crowd nodded in agreement. Angelica’s admiration for Logan was evident to all.

Angelica sighed dramatically. "Selina, do you really want me to be honest? I held back because I didn’t want to make things too harsh for you as my sister."

"You and Logan getting married was an accident. I’m not saying you’re not a good match, but I am his savior. If he had met me first, tell me, would he have married you, or would he have married me?"

Selina let out a cold laugh.

Angelica’s words seemed reasonable on the surface, but in reality, they were meaningless.

Who said a man must marry the person who saved him? Who said meeting someone first automatically made them Mrs. Reid?

Selina casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Hmm, makes sense. But the fact remains—you were late. That just means you and Logan weren’t meant to be."

That single phrase—"weren’t meant to be"—made Angelica’s face twist with embarrassment.

Taylor, unwilling to see his goddess lose face, snapped in frustration. "What are you so smug about? Even if you’re Mrs. Reid, Logan doesn’t care about you! Angelica is at least his savior—Logan will protect her for the rest of his life!"

Several women in the room couldn’t hold back their disdain either.

Logan was the ultimate dream man for many of them. If he had married a woman recognized as the city’s top socialite, they might have accepted it. But the fact that Selina had taken the position of Mrs. Reid? That was infuriating!

"Yeah, we’ve never even heard about Mrs. Reid before! Logan clearly doesn’t care about you. If he did, why has he never brought you to any of his gatherings?"

"Miss Clark, a person should know their place—"

"Are you lecturing my wife?"

A cold, emotionless voice interrupted the jeering.

Everyone’s expressions froze as they instinctively turned toward the doorway.

Logan stood there, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. His presence alone sent a chill through the air.

But when his eyes landed on Selina, warmth flickered within them. "What are you doing here?"

Selina clenched her jaw. He actually dares to ask why I’m here?

Logan is out drinking with Angelica, but I’M the unreasonable one for showing up?!

But the moment she caught sight of Angelica’s expression, a thought sparked in her mind.

She suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Logan’s, her voice soft and aggrieved.

"Logan, of course, I came to take you home. But the moment I walked in, I heard your friends talking about me..." She cast an innocent glance around the room. "It seems like they have quite a few opinions about me."

Logan’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. He knew she was acting, but he still found himself coaxing her. "Ignore them."

Angelica watched the two whispering to each other, an uncontrollable bitterness surging within her. She discreetly shot Taylor a look.

Taylor immediately smirked. "Logan, we don’t have anything against Mrs. Reid. It’s just that you’ve been hiding her too well. You got married and never even introduced her to us—we thought your marriage was just for show."

Selina narrowed her eyes.

Angelica’s green tea tactics weren’t stopping, huh?

She tightened her grip around Logan’s arm and spoke before he could.

"That’s not Logan’s fault. It’s not that he’s hiding me on purpose—" She sighed dramatically, then smiled sweetly. "He just loves me too much. He treasures me so much that he wants to keep me all to himself. That’s all."

The room fell dead silent.

Taylor and Angelica’s faces turned green.

That’s not what we meant at all!
