Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Fired-Up Luke

Everyone: "..."

Madam Nelson choked on her words. Wait a second—what kind of person was Luke saying she was?

Luke looked perfectly innocent, as if he had no idea he was spilling some massive gossip:

"Didn’t Madam Nelson have her own ’childhood sweetheart’? Even after marrying into the Nelson Family, she stayed in contact. They still exchange gifts all the time."

"So what if you’re married? You guys still give each other presents, go shopping, see movies, hit up auctions, take yacht vacations. But you’re just friends, right? Mr. Nelson has no reason to be mad, right, Madam Nelson?"

Silence fell. A dead silence. Every jaw dropped.

Nancy froze, too stunned to say a word.

Madam Nelson’s smug expression crumbled inch by inch into sheer horror.

"...!" What the hell was Luke saying?!

And Luke, still looking like he totally understood her, turned to Selina.

"Let it go, Selina. Madam Nelson’s married but still entangled with her old flame, so her daughter getting cozy with someone else’s husband? Totally on brand."

People in the crowd actually nodded a little.

The young master of the Reid family... kinda had a point.

If Madam Nelson was married and still flirty with other men under the "just friends" excuse, then maybe Riley really did inherit that talent. I mean, she’s flirting with a married man—same difference.

Freya backed him up.

"Exactly! Selina, don’t bother arguing logic with people who clearly don’t have any. You can’t win."

"But for real, better steer clear of anyone from the Nelson Family. If they’re eyeing your husband today, who knows whose man they’ll be after tomorrow."

Immediately, people began inching away from Madam Nelson like she had a contagious disease.

Madam Nelson was livid.

What were they implying? Her daughter wasn’t some random stray anyone could go after!

"Selina, you—"

Unfortunately for her, Selina didn’t even spare a glance and walked off without a word.

Madam Nelson’s rage got caught in her throat. She turned beet red and suddenly collapsed.

"Auntie!"

"Madam Nelson, are you okay?!"

...

Inside the car.

Luke was fuming. "Selina, why didn’t you say anything back there?! The Nelson Family was stepping all over you and you just stayed quiet! What would you have done if I hadn’t been there?!"

He was clearly pissed.

Selina shrugged like it was no big deal. "They’re not worth my time."

She wasn’t lying. So Riley got the pearl—big deal. She’d find a way to get it back.

As for Madam Nelson and Nancy? They were just trying to get under her skin. If she actually got mad, they’d win.

But to Luke, it meant something totally different.

"What?! You’re seriously just letting this go? They obviously want to get close to Logan. He’s your husband! And you didn’t even speak up! What, are you just gonna let it slide?!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"No way. I’m coming back to Sapphire Valley Villa with you!"

The more Luke ranted, the more fired up he got. And in his burst of righteous fury, he shot to his feet—forgetting he was inside a car.

Thud!

He slammed his head against the roof and collapsed back into the seat, dazed.

Freya: "..."

This young master might actually be a little unhinged.

Luke clutched the lump on his head, muttering weakly, "You can’t keep letting them walk all over you... I can’t stand it..."

Freya was silent again: "..."
