Chapter 280: Punishing Her Luke: "..."
The moment Luke heard Loganâs low chuckle, every hair on his body stood on end. He immediately panicked, blurting out, "No, no, no, itâs not like that!"
But the manager thought Luke was just being shy and gave him a "I get it" look.
"Is Young Master Lukeâs engagement still a secret? Donât worry, Iâll keep it confidential. I wonât cause any trouble for you and Mrs. Reid!"
Lukeâs expression twisted.
What the hell is this?!
Is this some kind of setup?!
If this misunderstanding got any bigger, he might not even live to see tomorrow!
Loganâs smile deepened, the corner of his mouth curling into something sharp and dangerous. He let out a low, noncommittal, "Hmm?"
Selina shivered, swallowing hard. It felt like there was a knife resting against her neck.
She immediately darted to Loganâs side and declared righteously, "Manager, please donât joke around. The person I like is Logan!"
Luke jumped in right after, frantically nodding. "Yes, yes, itâs Logan! She doesnât like me!"
The manager: "...?"
The manager looked visibly confused. "But didnât you two come to pick up the wedding rings...?"
From the managerâs point of view, it looked like a scandal â the fiancée was running off with the groomâs brother! Was Young Master Luke just going to let himself be humiliated like this?
Man... rich families really do play wild.
Logan let out another soft laugh, the sound sending chills down everyoneâs spine.
Luke looked utterly broken, like a man who had seen the end of the world.
Iâm done for. Iâm tired. Let it all burn.
What the hell was I thinking?!
Why would I, an idiot, show up with Loganâs wife to pick up their wedding rings?!
Wedding rings have a special meaning to a couple, and here he was, inserting himself into the moment like a complete fool.
God, Iâm such an idiot!
Jack coughed lightly and quickly explained the situation to the manager.
After hearing the explanation, the manager finally understood â Mrs. Reidâs fiancé wasnât Luke, it was the legendary Mr. Reid himself...
But that only left him more confused.
Wait, wasnât Mr. Reid supposed to be in love with Miss Riley?
He remembered Miss Nelson had even dropped by the store a few days ago and mentioned it casually...
A few minutes later, the manager personally escorted them to the door.
Luke bolted like his life depended on it, leaving only Logan and Selina behind.
Logan leaned lazily against the car, his posture relaxed, one eyebrow raised slightly.
"So you and Luke went to receive your wedding rings together, huh?"
Selina was so guilty she didnât even know where to look.
Now she rememberedâMiller Butler had told her to wait a bit because Logan was coming.
But she didnât wait. She ran off with Luke... and got caught by the manager.
Butâbut she was just too excited to see the rings! It wasnât her fault!
After all, they were designed by Rowan...
Wait a secondâSelina suddenly thought of something and looked up at Logan suspiciously.
"Why did you say you designed the rings earlier? Wasnât it Rowan?"
A crazy thought popped into her mindâ
Could Rowan actually be... Logan?!
All those things she had said to Rowan...
Logan answered casually, "Given the situation, if I mentioned Rowan, they wouldâve demanded proof and created even more trouble. It was easier to just say I designed them myself."
He cast her a lazy glance. "What did you think it was?"
Selina patted her chest, relieved.
Okay, okay, no big secret!
When they got home, she wanted to rest in the master bedroomâbut found the door locked.
Loganâs voice came lazily from down the hall.
"Mrs. Reid seems to still not know what she did wrong. Think it over before you come back to bed."
freÑwebnovel.com Leaving your husband and going off with another man to pick up the wedding ringsâhow could that be so casual?
A once-in-a-lifetime moment, and she shared it with someone else first.
If Luke hadnât been a clueless puppy, Logan wouldnât have let him off so easily.
Selinaâs face was full of shock: "...?"
Logan, do you even hear yourself right now?!
She knocked on the door, but Logan didnât respond. She went to find Miller Butler, who looked troubled and said the master key was only held by Mr.
Reidâhe couldnât open the door either.
Selina felt even guiltier. She went back upstairs and knocked again.
"Uh, Logan, Iâm used to sleeping in the master bedroom. I canât sleep well anywhere else."
Sure, she had left her husband at home and run off, but she was admitting her mistake nowâthat had to count for something, right?
Inside the master bedroom, Logan quietly closed a book. His gold-rimmed glasses caught the light as he said indifferently, "The ladyâs bedroom is empty. You can sleep there."
After a pause, he casually added, "If I remember correctly, thatâs where Mrs. Reid stayed when she first moved into Sapphire Valley Villa."
Selina almost choked: "!"
When they first got married, sheâd been dead set on it being a contract marriage. Of course she had insisted they sleep in separate rooms!
But now Logan was her legitimate husband. How could he still want her back in the ladyâs bedroom?
Selina tried to reason with him. "The situation was different back then. We didnât have any emotional connection..."
"So at the time, Mrs. Reid didnât consider me her husband?" Logan asked lightly.
Selina froze.
This feels like a trap question.
Still, she nodded thick-skinned, "Yeah... back then, that was the case. But now itâs different!"
Logan led her forward, one step at a time.
"How is it different now?"
Selina racked her brain. "We even picked out our wedding rings... together."
"And?" Logan asked calmly.
This little troublemaker still didnât seem to have a real sense of being marriedâand Logan didnât like that at all.
When she clashed with the Morris Family, she didnât even think of asking him for help.
When it came to things like the wedding or the rings, she barely seemed to care.
To Logan, Selina was like a cloudâbeautiful, but impossible to pin down.
At twenty-seven, he had never pursued anything without certaintyâexcept for her.
But once Logan set his sights on somethingâor someoneâhe never let go.
He would make Selina care about their marriage.
He would make sure she understood what was truly irreplaceable in her life.
Still not opening the door, Logan left Selina feeling sour and frustrated.
Seriously, whatâs his problem?
Itâs not like she intentionally ditched him to pick up the rings...
Sure, she forgot... but he didnât have to be this mad, right?
A thought flickered through Selinaâs mind, but she didnât catch it. Huffing, she stomped off to the ladyâs bedroom.
She lay on the bed for a while, still puzzled about why Logan was so furious.
She pulled out her phone, thinking maybe she could ask someone for advice.
But everyone around her knew about her marriage to Loganâasking them would just make things awkward.
Which left only one option...
Selinaâs gaze landed on the name "Rowan."
She couldnât ask anyone she knewâbut she could ask a stranger online, right?
Itâs not like Rowan would ever meet her in person. Even if she asked, it wouldnât be embarrassing.
Besides, Rowan was supposedly in his forties. Thereâs no way Logan would be jealous of some middle-aged guy.
Feeling reassured, Selina opened her chat with Rowan and carefully typed:
[Senior Rowan, are you there?]

Loganâs phone buzzed twice. He switched to his Rowan account and saw a familiar little avatar pop up with a new message:
[Senior Rowan, are you there?]
The manâs smile deepened. His fingers hovered over the keyboard for a second before he typed back a single word:
[Here.]
