Chapter 282: Answering with Actions All the executives in the video conference were frozen in place.
Did Mrs. Reid just say... Mr. Reid isnât performing well? And needs to see a doctor?!
Did they accidentally overhear a top secret?! Are they going to get silenced now?!
The situation was so shocking that Jack immediately initiated a remote shutdown and force-closed the video conference.
Logan watched the screen go black, then let out a low chuckle.
He reached out, lightly tilting Selinaâs chin up, his voice smooth and calm:
"Mrs. Reid, what did you just say? Repeat it."
Selina shivered, feeling like sheâd just been locked onto by a starving wolf.
"IâI meant..."
"Youâre doubting my ability?" Logan interrupted, calmly scanning her up and down.
"So, Mrs. Reid... came running to me... to personally check if Iâm still capable?"
"..."
Technically, that was trueâbut why did it sound so wrong coming from him?
Loganâs tone grew more amused:
"Tell me, Mrs. Reid, why would your mind even go there?"
Selina clenched her jaw so tightly it almost cracked.
How was she supposed to explain that?!
Seeing her stay silent, Logan chuckled low in his throat:
"Is it because I asked you to get out of my lap?"
At that, Selinaâs face turned scarlet.
"W-well yeah! I mean, look at me! Iâm gorgeous! If you didnât react at all, of course something must be wrong!"
Logan couldnât hold back a short laugh, a trace of wickedness flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Mrs. Reid is very confident."
Selina huffed silently. Wasnât she right though?
She looked this goodâany normal man would have had some kind of reaction!
Loganâs voice dropped, slow and teasing:
"Actually, Mrs. Reid, itâs not that I wasnât affected by you."
He paused, letting his words sink in.
"Arenât you curious why I asked you to get off me?"
Before Selina could answer, Logan continued leisurely:
"Because I was in the middle of a video conference."
Selinaâs entire body stiffened.
He paused, watching her face turn even redder.
"There were five senior executives, plus Jackâsix people total. All of them saw you cuddling in my lap."
"And Mrs. Reid was only wearing a bathrobe. I didnât want anyone else to see you like thatâso I asked you to leave while I shut down the meeting.
But..."
Loganâs voice dropped even lower, full of hidden meaning:
"It seems Mrs. Reid didnât mind being seen?"
Selina felt like she was about to explode from pure embarrassment.
He was in the middle of a conference!!
And she had been sitting in his lap, acting all flirty, in full view of everyone?!
And that wasnât even the worst partâshe even accused him of being "not functional" right in front of them!
A wave of mortification washed over her.
Selina wished she could dig a hole and disappear.
"Alright," Logan said slowly, his voice laced with dangerous amusement.
"Now, letâs talk about this... little misunderstanding you have about my abilities."
Thinking about the messages she sent Rowan, Loganâs smirk deepened.
"You were so sure I was ânot functionalâ... yet you still tried to seduce me?"
Selina dropped her head miserably.
What even was today...?!
First, Logan wouldnât let her sleep in the master bedroom.
Then, his subordinates saw her acting like a lovestruck fool.
And now he was teasing her to death.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.
And the worst part?
All of it started because he insisted on separating rooms!
Selina snapped her head up, ready to fight back, but before she could even open her mouth, Logan reached out and grabbed her jaw.
His palm pressed gently but firmly, forcing her lips to part.
"What are youâmmphâ"
The taste of him overwhelmed her senses.
Mature and intoxicating, Loganâs kiss was full of control and dominanceâdeep, claiming, and unstoppable.
Selina tried to resist, but her whole body shuddered from the force of it, her very soul trembling.
Loganâs hand on her waist tightened, pulling her even closer.
He could feel her trembling against him, her body softening, instinctively leaning into his arms.
After the kiss ended, Selinaâs eyes were misty, the corners tinged red.
She tried to sound angry but couldnât pull it offâinstead, her voice came out a little spoiled and whiny:
"What are you doing?!"
Logan gently patted her back.
Maybe he had scared the little troublemaker.
Talking about separate rooms out of nowhereâshe must have been genuinely afraid.
He hadnât really intended to stay mad anyway. His voice, lazy and soothing, sounded again:
"Why are you so set on sleeping in the master bedroom?"
Selina, still dazed from the kiss, answered without thinking:
"...Because weâre husband and wife."
Isnât it natural for a married couple to sleep together?
Logan paused for a long momentâthen suddenly smiled.
Her answer clearly pleased him.
"Even if you hadnât come looking for me, I would have had you move back tonight."
He had thought she didnât understand the concept of marriage at all.
Turns out he was wrong.
Logan scooped her up and carried her back to the master bedroom.
"Itâs late. Time to rest."
Selina glanced at her phone in disbeliefâIt was only 8:30 PM.
"Itâs still early!" she protested.
Logan gave her a meaningful look:
"Not early, Mrs. Reid. You have classes tomorrow. Staying up too late isnât good."
8:30 bedtime?
Was he planning to put her on an old manâs schedule?!
She barely had time to argue before a gentle, burning kiss stole her breath away again.
Several hours later, Selina watched the clock tick past midnight before she finally drifted off, exhausted.
Yeah... starting at 8:30 did end up feeling a little late.
The next morning, Selina woke up sore all over.
It was already 10:00 AM.
Luckily her class wasnât until the afternoonâotherwise she wouldnât even know how to explain asking for leave.
She glanced at her phone and saw an unread message.
It was from Rowan.
[I heard you went to pick up the wedding rings yesterday, but not with Logan. I think the reason he was upsetâno, not upset, ratherâis because he cares. He wanted to share those important moments with you.]
Selina blinked, stunned.
Suddenly, everything about Loganâs behavior yesterday made sense.
So thatâs what it was...
She hurriedly put down her phone.
"Miller Butler, whereâs Logan?"
"Mr. Reid has already gone to the office. Do you need to see him, Madam?"
"Yes, Iâm going to the company."
Miller Butler immediately arranged a car.
"Right away, Madam. Iâll have someone drive you."
Half an hour later, they arrived at the base of the Reid Group tower.
Jack came down personally to escort her, and soon Selina was face-to-face with Logan.
He had just finished a meeting and returned to his office, having removed his suit jacket.
He was down to a fitted black dress shirt and tailored pants that showed off his long legs. His presence was commanding and sharp.
Selina didnât waste timeâshe got straight to the point, putting on a serious face:
"Mr. Reid, would you mind... putting my wedding ring on for me?"
Loganâs gaze warmed.
He lifted her hand, placed a kiss on her knuckles, and murmured:
"My pleasure."
It seemed all his careful guiding hadnât been in vain.
Yesâvery satisfying.
freÑwebnoѵel.com Selina stayed at the Reid Group to have lunch with Logan.
Her class was at 2 PM, so she planned to rest for a bit before heading out.
But just as she stepped out of the office, she overheard someone saying:

Selina immediately caught on.
Riley?
"Sheâs here to discuss the project on behalf of President Nelson. Apparently, President Nelson already mentioned it to you."
The staff at the executive office instantly perked up, all ears.
Riley Nelson... wasnât she the one rumored to have had a thing with Mr. Reid?
And nowâwith the real Mrs. Reid presentâthe rumored ex was here too...
