Chapter 337: Pregnant The air went completely still.
Selina narrowed her eyes slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Riley waved her hand as if flustered. "Sorry, sorry, I spoke without thinking. Logan, you and Selina can handle this between yourselves. Iâll take my leave."
She turned back just before leaving, as if suddenly remembering something. "Oh, Logan, the most important thing between a married couple is trust.
If youâre hiding things from Selina... never mind, I wonât say more."
With that, Riley fled the scene like sheâd just dropped a bomb, awkward and worried, as if sheâd accidentally exposed a secret.
Grandma Perry waved dismissively. "Iâm not getting involved in Nelson Family drama. Riley showed up unannounced todayâwouldâve been rude to turn her away. Selina, donât let what she said get to you."
Selina nodded and left with Logan.
...
Outside the Perry estate, in a luxury car.
Riley stared coldly as she watched them get in, letting out a sneering laugh. "Thereâs no way Selina can just brush this off."
Madam Nelson hesitated. "Riley, whatâs the point of provoking her? All youâre doing is making Logan feel guilty."
Riley, looking smug, replied, "Once thereâs a crack between them and Selina starts thinking about leaving, Logan will give in eventually. Mom, Iâm going to be Mrs. Reidâand relying solely on Logan is too low-level." freewÑbnoνel.com She hadnât done anything wrong. She merely "reminded" Selina that trust was vital in a marriage. What happened after was none of her business.
"But I canât do this alone," Rileyâs gaze turned sharp. "Mom, get in touch with Angelica. Tell her I have a way to save her."
...
Selina was about to get in the car when Logan suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Startled, she turned back. "What are you doing?"
Loganâs jaw tightened. After a moment, he lowered his eyes slightly. "Mrs. Reid, arenât you curious about anything?"
Rileyâs words had sounded like a careless slip, but Logan did have secrets he hadnât told her.
But Selina just blinked and shook her head in confusion. "Is there something I should be asking you?"
"...Like what Riley said."
Selina looked at him like he was crazy. "You didnât think I took Riley seriously, did you? That was clearly an attempt to drive a wedge between us."
Did he think she was that dumb?
Logan found her absolutely adorable. His fingers brushed her bangs. "What if I really was hiding something?"
"Is it a deal-breaker?"
"No."
Selina thought about her own little secrets. Whether out of guilt or something else, she smiled. "Then itâs fine. Everyone has their secrets."
Loganâs lips curved into a smile. "Then Iâm grateful for your understanding, Mrs. Reid."
Selina paused, licking her lips nervously. "But what if... Iâm hiding something from you?"
Logan narrowed his eyes, intrigued.
Ah, so thatâs why sheâs being so generousâbecause sheâs hiding something too.
He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly leaned in and kissed her. His warm, dry lips brushed against hers, gently deepening the kiss.
Selinaâs mind went blank, and she barely caught his whisper: "Whatever it is, Iâll respect your choice."
The marriage certificate may bind them legally, but before she belonged to him, she first belonged to herself.
Logan had kept things from her out of necessity. If he had the choice, he wouldâve told her everything. But even so, he respected her autonomy.
Selinaâs heart bloomed with fireworks. Her eyes went misty with emotion. "Logan, youâre such a good man!"
Logan nearly hit the brakes too hard. "...You donât need to hand me a âgood guyâ card right now."
But Selina, oblivious, just kept going. "How are you this amazing? Tall, handsome, smart, capable, kindâ"
SCREECHâ
The car jolted to a sudden stop. Selina lurched forward, caught only by her seatbelt, and slammed back into the seat. "Wh-What the heck?!"
Was Loganâs driving always this questionable?
The manâs breathing was rough. "...Selina, donât say things like that to a man at a time like this."
Selina: "???"
...
After resting at home for a few days, Selina had dinner alone since Logan had an evening meeting.
She hadnât even finished eating when Miller Butler came in and announced, "Luke is here."
Luke barged in, clearly alarmed. "Why are you eating alone?! Whereâs Logan?!"
Selina nearly choked on her food. "Heâs in a meeting. Why?"
"A meeting? At this hour?!" Luke slammed his hand on the table, face full of righteous fury.
Selina set down her fork. "Whatâs going on?"
Lukeâs anger only intensified. His face turned red with frustration. "You sued Angelica for plagiarism. The evidence is ironclad. But guess whatâsheâs pregnant!"
Selina froze.
Luke nearly exploded. "Because sheâs pregnant, she canât be detained. And with the Morris Family stepping in to clean up the mess, the whole plagiarism case is getting swept under the rug! No oneâs even talking about it anymore!"
"And even if you keep pushing the lawsuit, she wonât face consequences until after she gives birth. Seriouslyâwhy?!"
It was outrageous. But Selina stayed composed. "Are they sure sheâs really pregnant?"
"Yes! The Morris Family already sent people to bring her in. And Loganâs not back this late at night... what if..."
Luke gasped dramatically, voice rising with betrayal. "What if he went to see Angelica? That bastard!"
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. He immediately called Loganâno answer.
Luke looked heartbroken, like his world had shattered. "Wahhh... Selina, donât be sad. Letâs go find something fun to do. Forget him! By the way, how good is Loganâs driving?"
Selina: "...Huh?"
Where did that sudden topic shift even come from?
...
At the Reid Group, in the conference room.
Loganâs phone buzzed. He glanced downâLuke?
He was about to answer, but just then the international partner smiled and said, "Mr. Reid, what do you think?"
Pulled back into the discussion, Logan didnât catch the call in time.
"Sir," Jaxon whispered after quietly stepping forward, "Thereâs a situation."
"What is it?"
Jaxon took a deep breath, as though bracing himself. "Angelica is pregnant."
Loganâs eyes darkened. "When did this happen?"
"Tonight. And the entire Morris Family is insisting..."
Jaxon hesitated before finishing, "That itâs your child."
BangâLogan set his teacup down hard, his gaze ice-cold. "My child?"
"Yes. Old Mrs. Morris sent someone to invite you to the hospital."
Logan instantly understood why Luke had called. He let out a cold laugh.
