Chapter 188: He Truly Loves You The call was quickly answered by Loganâs legal team. "Mr. Reid, how can we assist you?"
Selinaâs eyelid twitched. Wait a minute... why was he calling his lawyers? Was he planning to sue her for extortion?
Then she heard Loganâs leisurely voice. "How long would it take to transfer all my assets to Mrs. Reid?"
The lawyer on the other end: "..."
There was a noticeable pause. "Sir, are you sure?"
"Very sure." Logan lightly tapped his fingers against the table. "Draft the paperwork."
Still baffled, the lawyer hung up. Logan then looked up at Selina and said casually, "If I give Mrs. Reid all my assets, will that be enough to compensate for todayâs losses?"
Selinaâs heart skipped a beat.
Her mind screamed that this was just another one of his tricks, and she absolutely should not fall for it.
But her face betrayed herâflushing ever so slightly. "If it happens once, itâll happen again. What if Angelica keeps flaunting herself in front of me?"
Loganâs lips curved into a smirk, a subtle hint of jealousy lacing the air. "Mrs. Reid, donât worry. Iâve already issued a directiveâsheâs no longer allowed to use my name to show off."
Selina blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.
Logan tilted his head, his gaze playful. "I heard Mrs. Reid was planning to bring me lunch at the office today?"
"...Yeah," Selina responded absentmindedly, then suddenly paused. Waitâhow did Logan know about that?
Logan chuckled softly. "So, do I still have that privilege now?"
Selinaâs eyes glimmered with mischief. "You want me to visit the office?"
"Mrs. Reid holds a prestigious title. Naturally, she should visit the company more often."
"Alright then." She agreed instantly. "You head back firstâIâll be there soon."
Logan saw right through her scheming but chuckled in amusement. "Alright."
The moment he left, Selina hurried into the kitchen. "Vice President Wilson, mind if I borrow the kitchen for a bit?"
Half an hour later, Selina turned off the stove and took a small bite of her dish.
Yep. As alwaysâconsistently terrible.
She packed the food into containers, got into the car, and ordered, "Take me to Reid Group."
Upon arrival, Jack was already waiting downstairs. The moment he saw her, he stepped forward eagerly. "Madam, youâre here. Sir hasnât eaten yet."
Selina took the executive elevator straight to Loganâs office. Without a word, she placed the dishes on the table.
"Mr. Reid, I brought you lunch. Enjoy."
Loganâs gaze fell upon the dishes.
A charred, unidentifiable mass... and a few over-fried shrimp.
Selina smirked slyly. "It may not look great, but itâs made with love. I assume Mr. Reid wouldnât be so heartless as to reject it?"
Without a flicker of hesitation, Logan picked up his chopsticks and feigned curiosity. "Mrs. Reid made this herself?"
"Of course. Otherwise, wouldnât I be an irresponsible wife? I should at least try to do my part, donât you think?"
Logan knew she was still holding onto some resentment, and if eating a meal she cooked helped her vent, he was more than willing.
Besides, how could he possibly dislike something she made?
With an unreadable expression, he calmly ate, as if savoring a five-star meal instead of whatever monstrosity she had created.
By the time he finished an entire plate, Selina swallowed nervously.
She had tasted these dishes herself and knew just how inedible they were. Yet, Logan had eaten every bite with a straight face?
A man of his status could have the finest gourmet meals at his fingertipsâwhy on earth was he torturing himself like this?
She cleared her throat. "Uh... are you full?"
Logan glanced up at her teasingly. "Not quite. Why?"
Selinaâs face grew even warmer. "Jack had a chef from Celestial Feast prepare a meal for you. Maybe you should switch things up?"
Logan chuckled, amused by how obvious it was that she felt bad for him.
"I donât want to waste your effort," he said smoothly. "I really liked it."
After finishing the meal, Loganâs gaze softened. "Feeling better now?"
Selina was still basking in his praise, nodding absentmindedly. "Mm-hmm."
Loganâs eyes flickered with amusement. "Then, will you come home with me?"
Just as she was about to agree, a sudden realization hit herâwait a minute, was he using his charm on her again?!
Her eyes darted mischievously before she turned and bolted toward the door. "Nope, Mr. Reid, you can go back by yourself. Gavinâs still waiting for me. Iâm leaving!"
Logan watched her retreating figure, the warmth in his gaze nearly overflowing.
Just then, Jack stepped forward and reminded him, "Sir, itâs Luke on the phone."
Logan raised an eyebrow and took the call, only to hear Lukeâs animated voice from the other end.
"Logan! I heard Selina ran away from home? No way! Are you serious? How have you not won her back yet?!"
Luke sighed dramatically, clearly disappointed. "How do you not even know how to coax your wife? Logan, Iâm honestly losing hope in you!"
Logan lazily leaned back. "You must have a lot of free time."
Luke choked for a second before covering up his guilt with a louder voice. "What are you talking about?! Iâm trying to help you here! You donât want to wake up one day and realize your wife is gone, do you? Here, let me handle itâjust watch me!"
With that, Luke abruptly hung up and immediately dialed Selina.
She picked up, confused. "Luke?"
"Selina, when are you coming home?"
Selina narrowed her eyes slightly.
Luke panicked. "Donât misunderstand! Logan didnât ask me to call youâI, I just wanted to say, Logan is actually a really good guy. Donât stay mad at him, okay? Heâs been thinking about you nonstop, he canât eat, he canât sleep... donât you feel bad for him?"
Selinaâs tone was teasing. "Oh... is that so?"
Luke got even more nervous and lowered his voice. "Besides, if you donât go back soon, arenât you just giving Angelica a chance?"
Selina let out a soft chuckle. "Got it."
Luke finally relaxed. See? If not for him stepping in, Logan would still be struggling!
Meanwhile, at AS Grand Hotel, Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Reid Familyâs young master actually came to persuade you? Thatâs surprising. I heard Logan and Luke donât get along and barely speak a few words in a year. But judging from how Luke is acting, he sure seems to care about him."
Selina shrugged.
Gavin smirked knowingly. "Did you really cook for Logan today? And he actually ate it? Selina, donât tell me your cooking skills have improved?"
Selina didnât answer. Instead, she handed him a plate of leftovers.
Gavin took a biteâand his expression instantly stiffened. After a long, awkward silence, he spoke with deep sincerity, "I believe now. He truly loves you."
Because this was... absolutely inedible.
Logan actually finished two full plates of this?
Selina cleared her throat, her face flushing. "Iâm going to work on my designs."
"Alright, be careful on the way."
She fled the scene without looking back.
That night, as Selina left her studio, Lukeâs words suddenly echoed in her mind.

She clicked her tongue and instructed the driver, "Turn around."
At Sapphire Valley Villa, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment before breaking into a delighted smile. "Madam, youâre back! But... whereâs the master? Didnât he come home with you?"
Selina halted in her steps. "Logan... isnât home yet?"
