Chapter 281: A Clumsy Attempt to Make Amends Selina stared at the word [Here] on the screen, swallowing nervously, but she didnât rush to reply.
She decided to ease into it, step-by-step:
[Senior Rowan, do you think men are just... impossible to figure out sometimes?]
In his study, Logan let out a soft chuckle.
So sheâs here to ask about relationship problems, huh?
[For example?]
Selina: [Uh... do you ever get mad at your wife?]
Logan couldnât help but laugh again, his eyes full of amusement:
[Depends on the situation. We donât really argue much. Why?]
Selinaâs first thought: So Rowan really is married.
Her second thought: See, normal men donât just get mad for no reason.
She typed out the whole story:
[...Just because I didnât wait for him, he wants to make me sleep in a separate room! What kind of husband does that?!]
Loganâs gaze darkened slightly as he read her message.
This little troublemaker... still so clueless.
What he cared about was never whether Mrs. Reid waited for him or not.
It wasâ
He glanced down at the ring on his finger.
It was about thisâthis symbol of belonging.
Most couples put rings on each other.
But his little troublemaker seemed to have no real concept of that.
...Forget it.
She was his little troublemaker.
What was the point of holding it against her?
Logan sighed lightly.
He was just about to open the door and let her back in when a new notification popped up on Twitter.
A voice message.
Selina figured she couldnât rely on Rowan aloneâshe needed to take action too.
Luke had once said: If you make a mistake, be the first to apologize. That way, even if youâre wrong, youâll still win.
Selina thought that made a lot of sense.
So she opened Twitter, cleared her throat, and in a soft, syrupy voice recorded:
"Hubby~"
"I know I was wrong, please donât be mad, okay? I canât sleep without you. Can you really bear to let me suffer all alone?"
In the study, Logan: "..."
The manâs Adamâs apple bobbed slightly.
He hadnât expected Mrs. Reid to actually sweet-talk him.
It was so rare for her to act cute like this...
It would be cruel not to forgive her.
Logan sighed, realizing he really couldnât be mad at her for long.
He was about to head over to the ladyâs bedroom to bring her back when his phone buzzed againâanother message to the Rowan account.
Meanwhile, Selina was lying on the bed, growing more and more frustrated.
Seriously?!
Sheâd apologized and even acted cuteâand Logan still hadnât replied?
Was he made of stone?!
She waited another five minutes, getting angrier by the second.
Thinking about the cringey way she had just acted made her face burn with embarrassment.
Fuming, she grabbed her phone and angrily typed to Rowan:
[Logan still isnât replying! Senior, why do you think that is?!]
Rowan (Logan): [Getting impatient?]
Selina poured her heart out:
[Not exactly... I know Loganâs busy, and I usually understand when he canât reply quickly. But just now...]
Just now, I even acted all cute!!
Feeling a little awkward, Selina reworded it confidently:
[Anyway, I sent a message no man could possibly ignore, and he still didnât reply! Senior, do you think maybe thereâs something wrong with him?
Like, maybe heâs under too much pressure lately and... you know... canât perform? Otherwise, why would he get so mad over something so small? I even told him I canât sleep without him, and he still didnât respond! So heartless!]
Logan: "..."
Logan sat in silence for a full minute.
He took off his gold-rimmed glasses, wiped them slowly, and then tapped to play Selinaâs voice message again.
The corner of his mouth finally curved up into a faint smile.
Still using Rowanâs identity, he replied:
[You said you canât sleep well? Really?]
Selina answered right away:
[Of course not. I sleep like a rock. I just needed an excuse.]
[Senior, what do you think I should do to get back into the master bedroom? Should I... seduce him? Would he fall for it?]
That was the only plan Selina could come up with.
People always said couples could fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot.
Even though she wasnât exactly... that bold yet, as long as she could stay in the master bedroom, everything else could be solved slowly!
Logan traced his finger lightly over the phone screen:
[Mhm. You can give it a try.]
That night, Selina took a long bath, slipped on her blue diamond wedding ring, and headed to the study to find Logan.
The man was wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, sitting at his computer, focused on reviewing a contract.
Selina swallowed nervously, braced herself, then ran over with a soft little squeal, throwing herself straight into Loganâs lap.
"Hubby~"
She was only wearing a bathrobe, her skin glistening white with a hint of pink, and her eyes were slightly red from the steam.
Logan instinctively caught her by the shoulders.
Selina clearly felt him stiffen up.
Success! she cheered internally. I knew itâmy charm is irresistible!
Loganâs gaze darkened as he stared at the computer screen.
He hadnât expected Selina to pick this moment to "seduce" him into making up.
Problem was, he was in the middle of an online video conferenceâwith the senior executives of Reid Group, no less.
And they all knew Selina was his wife.
But this look on herâfresh from a bath, clinging to himâ...was definitely not something that should be broadcasted.
Loganâs Adamâs apple bobbed again.
He tried to discreetly shut the laptop.
"Selina, get up. Go downstairs first."
Selinaâs shy, flirty expression froze into confusion: "...?"
Waitâwhat did he just say?
He told her to leave?!
She was sitting in his lap, looking like a dream, and Logan could still tell herâwithout a flicker of emotionâto get out of his arms?!
Grinding her teeth, Selina growled under her breath:
"You better think about this carefully!"
Logan calmly glanced at the laptop camera.
The executives on the other side of the screen looked like they were on the verge of a collective breakdownâred-faced, not daring to look, not daring to leave.
Logan gently covered Selinaâs eyes with one hand.
"Mhm. Go downstairs."
There was no way he was letting anyone else see her like this.
Selina was completely stunned: "..."
She was right after all!
Loganâs bad temper and unpredictable moods lately... itâs because he canât, isnât it?!

Last time, he was perfectly fine!
Was he refusing to see a doctor out of pride?
Selina, desperate and frantic now, didnât wait for him to shut off the video feed. She grabbed his hand tightly, eyes burning with urgency.
"Logan, letâs go see a doctor, okay? If somethingâs wrong, the sooner we treat it, the better! Menâs health clinics are really advanced now! Thereâs nothing to be ashamed of!"
Loganâs eyes stilled for a long moment, then he slowly turned to look at herâhis gaze deep, sharp, and full of dangerous amusement.
