Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: She’s the Center of It All

In the end, Selina still went upstairs to change.

Downstairs, Logan gave swift orders. "Call Hunter. I’m rejecting the 2% profit share."

Jack was stunned. "Sir?"

Give it up? Mr. Reid always made decisions based on the company’s best interest. When had he ever been this impulsive?

Still, Jack followed orders without question. "Yes, sir."

"And notify Riley—I’ll be at the Nelson estate in thirty minutes."

Earlier, Jack had told him Selina wasn’t upset after returning from the café—said she’d handled Riley just fine and even seemed in good spirits afterward. That’s why when Hunter offered a 2% profit share as a peace offering, Logan had accepted. It was a nice little bonus Selina could use as pocket money.

But what he didn’t expect... was how upset she actually was.

She didn’t tell him. Didn’t tell Jack. She told Rowan.

Why?

Because in her mind, Rowan wasn’t someone who would ever appear in real life—just an anonymous online friend. Someone she could talk to freely, without fear or judgment.

Logan didn’t want her enduring even the smallest grievance.

When Selina finally came downstairs—confused and slightly annoyed—Logan ushered her into the car. "Where are we going?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"To a place that’ll cheer you up," he replied.

Selina raised an eyebrow.

Oh? He could tell she was in a bad mood?

But Logan would never guess why.

Not even the king of the world could fix her mood right now!

The car drove into a gated villa community. That’s when Selina sensed something was off.

Was Logan paying someone a late-night visit? That seemed a bit... unplanned. And this late?

Before she could figure it out, Jack had already parked. "Sir, we’ve arrived."

Selina looked up—and froze.

The Nelson residence? Riley’s house?

...

Half an hour earlier, Riley had gotten Jack’s call. Logan was on his way.

Her heart raced. She changed outfits and touched up her makeup.

A late-night visit from Logan? No matter the reason, it meant something. She was special.

"Miss Nelson, we’ve arrived," Jack said through the intercom.

Riley rushed to the door, cheeks flushed, her expression a mix of bashful joy and polished poise. "Logan—"

But the moment her eyes landed on Selina, her carefully constructed facade shattered.

Selina?!

Why was she here too?!

"Lo-Logan, you two..."

Selina had no idea what was happening either. She glanced at Logan, silently asking for an explanation.

Logan squeezed the back of her neck lightly, his eyes calm and sharp as they met Riley’s.

Straight to the point.

"Hunter said he’s willing to apologize for your behavior and offered 2% of the profits."

Riley’s heart skipped. She had a bad feeling.

"My brother probably thought the little joke I made at the restaurant was too much, so he..."

"But I declined," Logan cut her off flatly.

Hunter had offered. Logan had refused?

Riley blushed, assuming it was out of affection for her. "It’s just 2%, Logan, you don’t have to—"
