Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: I’ll Give You a Surprise

Angelica stepped into the elevator, heart practically bubbling with sweetness.

Most people had to book an appointment just to see Mr. Reid—but her? She just had to say her name and someone personally escorted her up.

That sense of privilege calmed her nerves and boosted her confidence.

Standing in front of the office door, she smoothed her hair, flashed a self-satisfied smile, and knocked gently.

"Logan, may I come in?"

...

Meanwhile, inside the office—

Selina blinked, eyes scanning the room as if looking for... a hiding spot.

Logan narrowed his eyes. "What are you looking for, Mrs. Reid?"

Selina lowered her voice. "A place to give you and Angelica some private time. Aren’t I the most thoughtful wife ever?"

Clearly, Angelica was here for something, and if Selina was in the room, she might not say it.

Curiosity got the better of her—she was dying to know what Angelica wanted, so she decided she’d just hide and eavesdrop.

Logan saw through her little plan instantly.

"Wouldn’t it be better for Angelica to see you right beside me? Mark your territory, so to speak."

Selina put on a fake innocent smile. "Oh come on, I’m not that petty. I trust Mr. Reid to behave like a proper married man."

Outside the door, Angelica was getting impatient.

"Logan? Are you in there?"

Logan looked at Selina pacing circles like a cartoon character.

He smirked. "Come in."

Selina froze in place.

Wait—she hadn’t picked a hiding spot yet!

She heard the door handle turn—Angelica was coming in!

Panicked, Selina darted under Logan’s desk at the last second.

Luckily, the desk was big enough to hide two people comfortably.

Logan glanced down at the woman now curled up at his feet.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, voice hoarse. "Se—"

"Shhh!" Selina shot him a mischievous look, her eyes practically spelling out: Let the drama begin.

Angelica walked in, blushing when she thought Logan had just called her.

"Logan, I’m sorry to disturb you."

Logan’s face was already calm and unreadable. "What do you need?"

Angelica was feeling confident, thinking her "VIP treatment" meant she was special to him.

"Logan, my birthday is in five days. You’re really coming... right?"

Logan’s tone was icy. "If I’m not welcome, I won’t go."

"No, no! That’s not what I meant. I just..."

Angelica gave a troubled look.

"It’s just that... you probably don’t know, but Selina and I share the same birthday. If you come, I’m afraid she might get upset."

Logan raised an eyebrow and glanced under the desk.

Selina blinked and gave him a say-something look.

He answered casually, "I already said I’d go to the Clark estate. I keep my word."

Angelica let out a soft sigh of relief, confidence rising.

"That’s great... if Selina threw a tantrum, I wouldn’t know what to do."

Logan’s patience was clearly wearing thin.

"Anything else?"

Angelica hesitated. There was one thing she really wanted to know.

She didn’t often get time alone with Logan, and the mood felt right. Her heart raced as she asked—

"Logan, sorry if this is too forward, but... is it true what people are saying online? That you and Selina are getting a divorce?"
