Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Getting Closer by Any Means

Selina abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Angelica smiled brightly, holding the ski suit up against herself with a playful tone. "You’re so good to me, let’s go skiing."

Among the crowd of socialites and heiresses, Angelica had always been seen as elegant and composed. Now showing a softer, more coquettish side, she stunned everyone around.

Some instinctively glanced at Selina. Though no one said anything aloud, their eyes said it all:

— How pitiful. She’s supposed to be Mrs. Reid, yet she clearly can’t compare to Angelica.

— I mean, come on, one is a lifesaver, the other just a woman he married because of family pressure. Who do you think matters more?

— Selina should’ve known better than to expect anything more.

Angelica lowered her head, hiding her smug smile. Selina, are you jealous now? Finally feeling what it’s like to be the one left behind?

She leaned closer to Logan with a faux intimacy. "Logan, I don’t know how to ski... can you teach me?"

Logan responded coolly, "I’ll hire an instructor for you. Also, the ski suit isn’t for you."

Angelica’s eyes flickered. "Mr. Reid, did you forget our deal? This is the last trip, the final condition. After this vacation, everything between us—those two favors and your life debt—will be done."

"This is my last chance to act a little spoiled. After this, we won’t even be friends. But no matter what, I saved your life. Doesn’t that mean I deserve this one last wish?"

Logan’s jaw tensed.

Traveling with Angelica and skiing—this was her second condition. And like she said, once this trip ended, so would their ties.

But for that to happen, the trip had to go exactly as she wished.

"...Alright."

Angelica beamed. "I’ll go change, wait for me here!"

Around them, murmurs of envy and admiration broke out.

"Mr. Reid is going to personally teach Miss Angelica how to ski..."

"So jealous. Clark family’s eldest daughter isn’t even officially Mrs. Reid yet, and she’s already getting this kind of treatment. Imagine when she actually marries him!"

"Look at Selina—her husband’s going skiing with her ’sister,’ and she’s just left standing there. How embarrassing..."

Soon, Angelica reappeared. "Mr. Reid, what should I do?"

Logan calmly explained the basics, though his eyes drifted toward Selina.

"Just keep your balance and go slow. You’ll be fine on your own."

Angelica blinked innocently. "Mr. Reid, you’re not coming with me? What if I fall? I’m a total beginner, you’re responsible for me!"

Someone nearby chimed in, "She’s right, Mr. Reid. Beginners like her need guidance, or they’ll crash all over the place."

Another added, "Come on, Miss Clark likes you! Help her out."

A third voice laughed, "Don’t be shy, Miss Clark. They say chasing a man is easier than you think—you’ve come this far, don’t stop now!"

"And Mr. Reid, don’t be so cold. You’re breaking her heart!"

Angelica’s cheeks flushed pink. "Don’t listen to them, Mr. Reid. I really just want to learn skiing from you. Don’t worry—once I get the hang of it, I won’t bother you anymore. Then you can spend all the time you want with Selina."

Logan knew that until he resolved Angelica’s matter, it would continue to be a problem.

He looked at Selina.

Selina was about ready to explode.
