Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Love at First Sight

Riley dug her nails into her palms so hard it hurt.

She had to endure this... She’d been too impatient. The timing wasn’t right yet. For now, she could only endure it.

Forcing a strained smile, Riley said, "Logan, I understand."

Then she turned to Selina, voice gentle. "Selina, I’m really sorry. I promise this won’t happen again. I truly see you as a friend."

Selina raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected Riley to be this good at swallowing her pride.

Having made his point, Logan took Selina’s hand and led her out.

Once they were in the car and seated, he glanced at her. "Feeling better now?"

Selina choked slightly. "What do you mean? Just because I got to put your childhood sweetheart in her place, I’m supposed to be in a good mood? What do you think I am, petty?"

Logan didn’t respond right away. He glanced at her, slow and meaningful. No words needed.

Selina’s cheeks turned red under that look.

Why did it feel like all her little thoughts had been seen through? And wait—Rowan!

She quickly pulled out her phone, worried Rowan might misunderstand something about Logan. She typed in a rush:

[I take it back. My husband is incredibly faithful!]

Two beeps sounded in the quiet car. Logan’s phone lit up. He glanced at it and casually tapped the screen.

"Spam," he said.

"Oh." Selina didn’t think much of it and went back to her email.

Rowan: [So you misunderstood him? Why would you think that? Is he usually like that?]

Selina flushed. Was she really discussing her marriage with a forty-something-year-old man?

Still, Rowan was Logan’s friend. As a wife, it was only right to defend her husband’s character.

She typed: [Of course not! My husband is great!]

Logan’s phone dinged again. This time, he actually chuckled.

Selina frowned. "What are you reading?"

"Still spam," Logan replied smoothly.

She narrowed her eyes. "You get a lot of spam?"

"Apparently." Logan sounded far too pleased with himself.

"Jack must be slacking. Why does your private number even get spam?"

Logan nodded calmly. "Dock his bonus tomorrow."

"...You’re unbelievable," Selina muttered.

Then, another email came in.

Rowan: [I’ve always been curious—why did you marry Logan?]

Selina froze. How the hell was she supposed to answer that?

Their marriage had started from a case of mistaken identity. She’d married Logan to get revenge on Ryan, to reclaim her mother’s inheritance. It had been a calculated move, nothing more.

The car grew quiet. Logan’s expression darkened when no reply came for a long time.

He was just about to change the subject—

When suddenly, a new message popped up.

[Because I like him.]

Selina had typed: [I like him. That’s why I wanted to be with him.]

Logan’s lips curved upward. He couldn’t stop the smile that spread across his face.

Selina, meanwhile, noticed there was no reply. And Logan’s phone had stopped receiving "spam."

As they got out of the car, she glanced over and saw a new message. She tapped to open it.

Rowan: [Logan said the same. He fell for you at first sight.]
