Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Hunter’s Origins

"Miss Nelson cares about me that much?"

Selina’s tone was laced with meaning. "Honestly, sometimes I wonder if Joe is really my father, or if Kyle is even my brother. I mean, we don’t look alike at all."

Riley’s hands clenched tightly, but she kept her smile.

"What are you saying? There’s no way that’s a mistake. Chairman Morris was just misled by Angelica before. You being the Morris heiress—that’s already been confirmed." freёwebnovel-com

Selina blinked innocently. "So Miss Nelson wants me to be biologically related to the Morris Family?"

"I..." Riley’s throat tightened, but she quickly reined in her emotions and shook her head with a soft sigh.

"Chairman Morris... someone like that... of course I wouldn’t want you to have him as a father. But facts are facts. Even if you cut ties, the bloodline’s still there."

Selina raised an eyebrow. She didn’t know exactly why, but something about Riley’s words felt intentional—like she was trying to keep Selina tied to the Morris Family.

But why?

Before Selina could figure it out, Riley had already "sensibly" said, "Alright, we won’t keep bothering you. Selina, we’ll take our leave now—hanging up!"

She returned the phone to the manager, then left with Madam Nelson.

Selina stared at the disconnected call, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Miss Nelson is so thoughtful, isn’t she?"

Logan heard the mocking edge in her tone and let out a low chuckle.

"Mm. Very considerate."

Selina’s throat tightened. Wait—what did that mean? He didn’t actually fall for it... right?

Everyone said straight-laced men couldn’t see through manipulative women, that they’d actually find them sweet and kind.

Could Logan be one of those?

Logan glanced at her. "Relax. I’m not that dumb."

Selina’s eyes flicked playfully. "Oh? Then why do you think Miss Nelson showed up today?"

Why indeed?

Logan thought for a second, then nodded.

"Probably just wanted to make sure Hunter would hear everything she said today."

After all, everyone else in the Nelson Family openly looked down on Hunter—except for Riley, who always appeared so kind and steadfastly loyal to him.

Selina raised a brow. "It’s weird... I get the feeling her attitude toward Hunter is..."

Like she was acting.

Putting on a show for the world—Look how good I am to my brother. Even though we’re not related by blood, we’re closer than real siblings!

If Hunter turned out to be some long-lost heir from a mega-wealthy family, Riley could cash in on those twenty-plus years of "sibling love" and ride her way right into the upper ranks of high society.

Selina was startled by her own theory.

Just as she was about to share this wild guess with Logan, her phone rang.

It was Kyle.

Without hesitation, she hung up and blocked the number.

Logan spoke calmly.

"Master Morris probably feels guilty and remorseful. But he’s blaming everything on Joe, saying it’s because Chairman Morris didn’t believe him that he didn’t push harder to confirm your identity."

Selina: "..."

To be honest, she felt like the whole Morris Family had serious issues.

Joe acted refined and polite on the surface, but he was rigid and arrogant underneath.

Kyle, grown as he was, had accomplished nothing—and when problems came up, all he had to offer was guilt and self-pity.

Funny how Kyle was the same age as Hunter... yet the difference between them was night and day.
