Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Deadly Pursuit

Selina went silent at the phrase "a friendship across generations."

But... when she thought about it, it kind of made sense.

She was more than twenty years younger than a man in his forties, after all.

"Right, right—cross-generational friendship. I’ve never met him before, but we’re about to. What do you think I should give him as a gift?"

Logan let out a faint, subtle chuckle.

Neither of them noticed he was standing nearby.

Miller Butler thought for a moment.

"How about a watch? Something a little more mature in style."

Selina nodded seriously.

Not a bad idea.

Rowan had designed her wedding rings—giving him a nice watch in return would make for a thoughtful gesture.

Logan pressed a hand to his brow not far away.

Mrs. Reid was seriously preparing a gift for Rowan...

If she found out that he was Rowan, she’d probably feel like she wasted the effort.

When she learned the truth, would she think he’d been playing her this whole time?

But for now... he couldn’t tell her just yet.

The day of the runway event.

Selina wasn’t the focus today, so she dressed casually.

Just as she was about to head out, Logan stopped her.

"Go change."

"Huh?"

The outfit he handed her looked simple at first glance: a pale gray silk satin dress.

The cut wasn’t complex—elegant, everyday wear—but the detailing was clever and refined.

Selina’s eyes lit up.

"Whose design is this? It’s beautiful."

It looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn’t quite place where she’d seen it before.

Logan nodded.

"Today, a lot of big names in the fashion industry will be attending. There will be designers, contestants, even celebrities. It’ll be livestreamed. This suits the occasion."

"Sir, ma’am, the car is ready," Jack announced.

Logan tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Let’s go."

Meanwhile, at the Morris Family residence.

Angelica changed into an extravagant, high-end gown.

She had spent a fortune and commissioned the design from DL, working on it for three full months—all to ensure she would steal the spotlight at the runway event.

Joe looked at her, increasingly pleased.

"My daughter is stunning. Come on, I’ll take you to the venue myself."

"Thank you, Dad," Angelica replied sweetly.

Joe asked, "The other day on Twitter, you mentioned that Rowan and Star were your mentors. Is that true?"

Angelica froze for a split second, then smiled smoothly.

"Of course it’s true. I learned most of my design skills from Teacher Star. As for Rowan, he’s very busy—he just gives me occasional advice."

"I actually wanted to wear a pale gray dress designed by Rowan for today, but he’s been hard to reach lately, so I had to give up on that."

Joe nodded, even more convinced now that Angelica had real connections with both Star and Rowan.

These two were among the most admired designers in the world.

If the Morris Family could get either of them to work with one of their brands, it would elevate the entire company to another level.

Joe was full of admiration.

Even though Angelica didn’t grow up in a prestigious family, she was poised, talented, and now had connections with Rowan and Star. Truly worthy of being Victoria’s daughter.

"Angelica, you won the last design competition. Why didn’t you tell me?I want to put your designs into production—what do you think?"

"That would be amazing. If you say so, Dad."

Joe beamed.

"You’re incredible, Angelica. The Morris Family’s future will be in your hands."

Angelica’s eyes flickered, and she lowered her gaze.

So what if she didn’t really know Star or Rowan?

Those two were like elusive dragons—never showing their faces, constantly buried in work.

Why would they bother calling her out over a tiny lie?

And as for that starry sky gown...

Hah.
