Chapter 235: Warm-Hearted Luke Selina couldnât help firing back with sarcasm: "Oh, well, thatâs just because Mr. Reid is so charming. No wonder women throw themselves at you."
Logan suddenly chuckled.
Selina pursed her lips. "What? Did I say something wrong?!"
"Mrs. Reid, you really didnât realize who sent that waitress?"
"What do you mean?"
Logan looked away, casual as ever. "If you didnât figure it out, then forget it."
Selina: "..."
What the hell? Now heâs being mysterious? She wonât be able to sleep tonight!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of thingsâ
The waitress slipped out of the banquet hall and quickly made a call.
"Young Master Reid, mission accomplished. Mr. Reid left with Miss Clark."
Lukeâs voice came through, excited: "He actually took her with him?! Right in front of everyone?!"
"Yes," the waitress replied. "Mr. Reid said he didnât want his wife getting jealous, then grabbed Miss Clarkâs hand and walked out."
Luke practically cheered, ready to slap his thigh.
"Perfect! Logan, you sly dog! Just walked out with her and made it crystal clearâSelina is his wife. Thatâs what Iâm talking about!"
The waitress shyly reminded him, "So... about the rest of my payment?"
"Sending it now! Letâs definitely work together again!"
Luke hung up and immediately transferred $50,000 to her.
Smart as alwaysâspending a little money to fix Logan and Selinaâs relationship.
This family really couldnât do without him!
...
Back in the carâ
Selina stared, horrified. "Wait... youâre saying that waitress was sent by Luke?"
Logan replied nonchalantly, "It was obvious. Didnât Mrs. Reid notice?"
Selina: "..."
Sheâd been too busy being madâhow was she supposed to guess that was Lukeâs scheme?
Logan leaned in and pressed a firm kiss to her lips.
"Clearly, Mrs. Reid gets flustered when she cares too much."
Selinaâs cheeks flushed. "I never said Iâve forgiven you yet! Let me out. Iâm not going back to Sapphire Valley Villa!"
Logan didnât argue.
The little one was already embarrassed and annoyedâdragging her home now would probably make her explode.
So, in a rare moment of mercy, he had the driver take her to Damienâs place instead.
Once Selina got out and left, Loganâs expression returned to its usual cold, distant selfâMr. Reid, in full form.
Jack swallowed nervously, debating whether to speak. "Sir... Iâm not sure if I should say this."
Logan replied calmly, "Then donât."
Jack paused, then braced himself.
"Sir, I think... you need to brush up on how to date. Jacob might be fake as hell, but his details are on point! That party today? He invited all his friends, dropped hints that heâs engaged to Miss Clarkâif you hadnât shown up, he couldâve spun the whole narrative in his favor!"
Logan gave him a look. "There was no if."
Jack wiped an imaginary bead of sweat from his forehead.
"Still! You canât just give other men chances like that! Even without Jacob, there are plenty of guys around Miss Selina. Youâve got to stay alert!"
Like todayâthings had just started smoothing out, and Logan still let her go to Damienâs.
Sure, Damien was technically her older brother...
But they werenât blood-related!
Logan, however, didnât seem concerned. "Heâs different."
Damien and the others were Selinaâs real family now.
After she was kicked out of the Clark family, it was her uncle, and brothers who raised her.
Some people might not understandâwhy sheâd feel closer to "outsiders" than to her own flesh and blood.
But Logan did.
freeweÉnøvel.com When her world had collapsed and she had no one, it was those peopleâstrangersâwho gave her warmth and kindness.
From that moment on, they became her family.
Not because of blood. Not because of obligation.
But because Selina was a good person. And good people... always attract those who are willing to love them with their whole heart.
Logan had never had anyone like that in his life.
Heâd grown up cold, distant, and isolated.
So seeing Selina with that kind of chosen family...
He genuinely thoughtâit was a beautiful thing.
...
The next day, at City A University.
The truth about the Angelica incident had come outâSelina wasnât just innocent, she was the victim.
Her counselor immediately allowed her to return to school, and many students felt deeply sorry for her.
After the last class of the day, someone whispered, "Natalia didnât show up today..."
"Good, she had the nerve to come before, going around acting all righteous saying Selina was vicious. And now? Turns out Selina was framedâher own sister set her up."
"Well, they said it was her manager who did it..."
"Yeah, fans said that. But seriously, you believe it? Why would a manager go out of her way to mess with the heiress of the Clark Family? Whatâs she getting out of thatâcommission on Angelicaâs inheritance?"
"Exactly. Itâs obvious Angelica masterminded the whole thing, and now that it backfired, sheâs dumping the blame on her assistant."
"Forget it, letâs stop talking. Angelica may be exposed, but sheâs still someone you donât want to mess with. Isnât Mr. Reid still going to her birthday party?"
Everyone went quiet.
"Ugh, life really is unfair. I heard Angelica invited a ton of peopleâsheâs clearly hoping this party will save face."
"With Logan there, sheâs definitely going to steal the spotlight again."
Birthday party...
Selina glanced at the time.
Five days until her birthday.
She thought about what Logan had saidâthat he wasnât going to celebrate Angelicaâs birthday, but hers...
Selina told the driver, "Turn around. Take me to the Reid Group building."
Half an hour later, Jack personally escorted her upstairs.
Logan looked up, raising an eyebrow.
"Mrs. Reid. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Selinaâs eyes sparkled with mischief. "Logan, we havenât officially made up yet."
Logan finished signing a document, then nodded at Jack to bring up tea and snacks. He narrowed his eyes.
"Hm... So what would it take for Mrs. Reid to forgive me?"
Selina cleared her throat. "You do know what day it is five days from now, right?"
Logan paused for a beat, then said deliberately, "Itâs Mrs. Reidâs birthday. Why?"
Selinaâs expression stiffened.
Forget itâno more playing it cool. She cut to the chase.
"Itâs the day Angelica invited you to the Clark Family estate to celebrate her birthday. You told me you were celebrating mine instead. Does that still stand?"
Logan leaned back in his chair, arms relaxed.
"Mrs. Reid doesnât want me to go?"
Selinaâs mouth twitched.
Did he really need her to spell it out? Wasnât it obvious how she felt?
"Of course I want you to go."
She felt a little embarrassed, like she was the jealous villainess in a cliché romance novel.
"But when youâre there, you have to make it very clear youâre there for my birthday, not Angelicaâs. Her birthday isnât even on December 29th. She stole my birthday!"
Loganâs smile widened. He decided not to tease her anymore.
"That was my plan all along."

What did that mean?
He didnât get a chance to ask.
Just then, Jack knocked on the door.
"Sir, Angelicaâs downstairs. She says she needs to speak with you."
Logan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Selinaâs lips curved into a cool smirk. "Well, what a coincidence. I wonder what she wants."
Logan let out a soft laugh.
"Let her up."
