Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Public Display of Affection

Jack immediately backed down. "You know why Jacob is so popular with women? Because he knows how to pretend!"

Logan frowned. "I don’t need other women."

"It’s the same for Madam! They are all women, and the methods apply to them!"

Jack glanced around, then leaned in conspiratorially. "Sir, the first step to romance is making her feel for you. You gave her antiques, now tell her you cleared your schedule just to accompany her tomorrow. Say you canceled important meetings..."

"No."

Logan cut him off without hesitation, his tone even. "If I care about her, I won’t use what I do for her as some kind of bargaining chip for pity or affection."

Jack rubbed the back of his neck. "But Jacob always does that. I mean, that’s what all the dating guides say..."

Logan raised a brow, visibly unimpressed. "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Jack wilted. "...Not exactly..."

"Then how do you know it works?" Logan rubbed his temples, Selina’s smile still vivid in his mind. He stood up. "Forget it. Ask Luke instead."

Jack: "...?"

How is it his fault he’s single?! He’s Reid Group’s top assistant—too busy to date! Shouldn’t Logan take some responsibility for that?

...

The next morning, Selina had just gotten up and was about to look into details for the antique exhibition when Miller Butler told her her dresses had been delivered and asked her to come down to choose one.

As she entered the massive walk-in closet in the basement, she found Logan already dressed in a tailored tux.

"You’re going too?"

"I was invited by the Morris family. Of course I’m going."

"Oh. Then let’s go together," Selina said casually and started flipping through dresses.

She wasn’t particular about what she wore, so she grabbed one that seemed fine and was about to change when Logan cleared his throat.

"That one’s... average."

Selina blinked and looked down at the dress in her hands. "Okay, I’ll pick another."

"That one’s no good either."

"What about this?"

"Doesn’t suit you."

...

After going through nearly the entire rack, Logan still wasn’t satisfied!

Selina’s forehead twitched. "Honestly, I don’t think it matters that much what I wear..."

"I think this one’s nice."

Logan suddenly handed her a midnight-blue gown with peacock blue accents. The black base was scattered with shimmery threads, glowing softly under the lights.

It was beautiful. But...

"You like this one?" Selina asked suspiciously. "It kind of matches your suit."

Logan’s suit was black with the same hint of peacock blue in the lining and cufflinks. When paired with her dress, it looked unmistakably like a couple’s outfit.

The thought shocked her. Was Logan deliberately pushing for matching outfits? Is that why he rejected all the others?

Logan shrugged, casually. "The color’s nice. Let’s go. We’re running late."

Selina: "..."

No way. Logan wasn’t that kind of guy. The match had to be coincidental.

But Logan, watching her change into the dress, smiled in obvious satisfaction.

Hmm. Luke was right.

If you want to stake your claim, you dress like a couple.

...

Aside from the antiques Logan gave her, Selina also brought along a keepsake from her mother—a rare Mercy Petal Lamp.
