Chapter 308: The Real Logan Five minutes ago.
When Selina heard Loganâs response, she turned around and stormed off.
He couldnât even see, and he still refused to tell her?
Werenât they married? How could he hide something like this?
Was he trying to keep her from worrying?
Because if Logan didnât say anything, sheâd only worry more.
Fine.
He told her to leaveâso she would.
Itâs not like he needed her concern anyway.
But as she reached the door, she realized...
She hadnât heard a single footstep behind her.
Which meant Logan was still standing in the same place.
Rightâhe was blind right now.
Sudden vision loss, unable to find directionâthereâs no way heâd risk moving around.
Miller Butler was out back. Jack was nowhere to be found.
The entire villa... only had Logan.
So he was just standing there. Alone. Unable to move.
But Logan had just lied to herâwhy should she care?
Yeah, no. Let him figure it out himself.
But what if he fell? What then...
Selina had been heading for the garage, but now she couldnât even remember why.
Her whole mind was filled with thoughts of Logan.
Thenâ
She heard something. A faint crash, like glass shattering.
Selina whipped around.
What happened to Logan?!
Her last shred of resolve snapped.
Without a second thought, she ran back into the living room.
By the time she came to her senses, She was already standing right in front of him.
She let out a breath of relief.
"What was that sound just now? Are youâhey, what are youâ"
Before she could finish, Logan had already pulled her tightly into his arms, locking her there.
"You came back."
Selina blinked, stunned.
The next thing she knew, she was being pulled down onto the soft couch.
She tried to get up, but he held her wrists in place.
freewebnøvel.coɱ Frustrated, she mumbled, "I came back because I was worried about you. And this is how you treat me?"
Logan exhaled softly, clearly conflicted.
"Sorry. I couldnât help it."
Selina decided not to argue with a blind man.
She looked into his dull, lifeless eyes.
"Tell me whatâs really going on."
"Iâm blind. But donât worryâitâll pass in a few days."
After saying that, Logan could feel her mood shiftingâhe could almost sense the pressure in the air.
He sighed helplessly and gently tapped her forehead with his fingers.
"Mrs. Reid, itâs not that I wanted to keep this from you. And itâs not because I thought you couldnât handle it emotionally. Itâs just that... for me, this sort of thing is normal. Nothing to make a fuss about."
Normal?
Nothing to make a fuss about?
Selina frowned.
That meant this had happened many times before.
Logan couldnât see her expression.
"Why did you come back?"
Was that really a question?
Selina answered honestly.
"Because I was worried about you."
Logan pausedâthen suddenly cut in:
"Mrs. Reid... you like me, donât you?"
Selina blinked, her cheeks instantly flushing red.
Waitâwhat kind of pivot was that?!
Before she could respond, Logan asked again:
"What exactly do you like about me?"
He sounded genuinely confused.
Years of restraint had made him bury all traces of his true self.
He had no real personality.
Back then, he had become whatever the Carter family needed their "adopted son" to be.
Later, he shaped himself into whatever the Reid family needed in an heir.
Even with people constantly chasing after Mr. Reid...
Logan knew what they wanted was the name, the title, the image.
So what was it... that Selina liked?
She thought for a moment.
"Youâre gentlemanly, kind... and you treat me well."
Loganâs throat tightened.
His eyes darkened again.
Is that so?
But the real him wasnât gentle.
He wasnât a gentleman.
He watched people die without blinking, listened to screams like background noise, and felt nothing.
Everything Selina saw...
Everything she likedâwas a mask.
So in the end, Mrs. Reid liked the version of him he pretended to be... not the real him.
"But Mr. Reid, liking someone... thatâs not something you can always explain."
Selinaâs tone was calm, almost teasing.
"I like you because youâre gentle and well-mannered. But if one day you stop pretendingâthen Iâll like that version of you too."
Loganâs fingers froze.
His breathing suddenly grew heavier.
Without warning, he leaned downâ
Even though he couldnât see, he found her lips with pinpoint accuracy and kissed her.
Selinaâs eyes flew wide open.
"?!"
Is this man part bloodhound?!
Logan didnât hold back.
His teeth parted her lips. Before she could react, his warm breath whisperedâ
"Open your mouth."
Selina instinctively grabbed his sleeve.
The moment she heard his voice, she opened her mouth without thinkingâ
And was immediately overwhelmed by his deeper, fiercer kiss.
"Logan, mmmâ"
She tried to speak, but the rest of her protest was swallowed whole.
She felt like seaweed tossed around by wavesâcompletely at his mercy.
His rough breath tickled her ear.
"Good. Then I wonât pretend anymore."
His voice, low and husky, laced with unmistakable desire, sent a shiver through her chest.
"Iâm not... thatâs not what I meantâ"
But Logan only let out a soft chuckle.
When the kiss finally ended, it wasnât the blind man being helped upstairsâIt was Selina.
Over the next two days, Selina finally understood what Logan meant by "I wonât pretend anymore."
The man who used to ask for permission before a kiss...
Now seemed to have unlocked some entirely new side of himself.
The gentle smile at the corners of his mouth carried a casual mischief.
He kissed her until her eyes turned glassyâ
Then looked down at her like heâd just done something very satisfying.
Selina: "..."
She shouldâve known from the startâLogan was never some harmless gentleman!
For the past few days, Selina had been pouring over the notes Uncle Gordon gave her.
After two full days of study, she finally made progress.
After lunch, she walked into the bedroom.
"Logan, take off your shirt."
His fingers paused mid-movement, one brow arching in curiosity.
Outside the door, Jack nearly trippedâ
He glanced at the time in horror.
1 PM?!
Itâs still the middle of the day, and youâre already at the âtake it offâ stage?!
Inside, Logan wore a sleek black silk robe, lounging comfortably.
He smirked, unfastening the first button.
"What does Mrs. Reid want to do to me?"
"Acupuncture," Selina said matter-of-factly.
But as soon as she said it, her eyes landedâunintentionallyâon his lips.
And all those memories came rushing back.
Even blind, he could still...
No no no. Donât go there.
Sheâd studied medicine under Uncle Gordon. She was a doctor.
Doctors donât think like that about their patients!
"Mrs. Reid, where exactly are you looking?"
Logan noticed the shift in her gaze.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned in, voice slow and playful.
"Itâs still daylight. Donât get ahead of yourself."
Selinaâs eyes flicked to his partially exposed, sculpted chestâ
And she immediately got what he meant.

Wait a second...
