Chapter 343: A Habit of Cheating Angelica couldnât understand itâhow could Logan be this cold just for Selina?
She was his lifesaver. Was it really that hard for him to spare her even a glance?
Tears rolled down Angelicaâs cheeks. "Logan, I donât think Iâve done anything to wrong you. Do you really have to be this ruthless?"
"It was just a maidâs mistakeânot bringing in an extra chair. It wasnât a big deal. But did you really have to insult me by calling me an outsider? Iâm pregnant. I canât handle this kind of stress. And thereâs no way Uncle and Aunt would intentionally target Selina. Why... why are you doing this?"
Ameliaâs eyes flickered, then she jumped in, "Logan, Angelica is right. Sheâs pregnant. Even if itâs just for the babyâs sake, you shouldnât make her stand while eating."
Luke was fumingâthis wasnât even Loganâs child! Why should Logan be responsible?
He was about to speak when Logan beat him to it.
The man stood slowly, expression unreadable. "Fair enough. Since Miss Morris is pregnant, she should take a seat first."
Daniel checked the timeâJoe should be arriving soon. He cut to the chase, "What are you planning to do about the baby?"
Logan said calmly, "If the child is part of the Reid Family, then it will be born and raised here."
Angelica visibly relaxed at those words.
That meant Logan had accepted the child.
She could stay in the Reid Family nowârising to the top was just a matter of time.
Sure, Selina was prettier than her, but beauty fades. What if Selinaâs looks were ruined someday? Would Logan still be interested?
But she was different. She was his so-called "lifesaver." With that bond between them, love would follow. Angelica believed in that.
Blushing, Angelica said deliberately, "Logan... youâre willing to let me keep the baby. But will Selina be okay with it?"
Logan chuckled lightly.
Selina, feigning innocence, replied, "Oh... if Mrs. Perry doesnât mind, then why would I?"
Amelia frowned, not understanding what it had to do with her.
The baby was Loganâsâwhy did Selina act like it was her decision?
Before Amelia could figure it out, Logan added, "Neither do I."
Angelica beamed. "Thank you, Logan! Thank you for accepting this... I know my presence is disruptive. I never meant to come between you two, but... love isnât something you can control..."
Amelia took the opportunity to provoke Selena with words. "Donât cry, Angelica. Loganâs accepted itâyour child will have a father now."
She couldnât hide her smugness.
So what if Selina was the legal wife? She was still being pushed aside.
Just like that fool Anna.
Once Angelica gave birth, that child would be Loganâs eldest sonâthe heir to Reid Group. Then they could slowly chip away at Loganâs power...
As for Selina? A woman raised in the countryside like Annaâmaybe good enough to entertain, but a proper Mrs. Reid? Not even close.
"Selina, since you donât mind, letâs have Angelica move into Sapphire Valley Villa soon. Weâll explain it to Chairman Morris. Once you take good care of her and she gives birth, I wonât leave you with nowhere to go."
Ameliaâs tone was lofty, like she was doing Selina a favor. "Angelica is of noble statusâshe should be the true mistress of the Reid Family."
Angelica gave a shy, pleased smile.
Selina nodded. "I donât have a problem with it. But..."
She feigned curiosity. "Why move Angelica to Sapphire Valley Villa? That doesnât make sense. Isnât the old estate better suited for her recovery?"
Angelicaâs eyes welled up. "Selina... you still canât accept me..."
"This isnât about acceptance."
Selinaâs curiosity was in overdrive. "I just think it makes more sense for Angelica to stay at the Reid estate. And if she canât, then at least rent an apartment or somethingâwhat does it even mean to send someone into your sonâs home?"
...Your sonâs home?
Everyone froze. Something was seriously off about that sentence.
But before anyone could react, Selina was already back at it, her tone full of admiration:
"But Mrs. Perry, I truly admire you. Chairman Reid brings his pregnant mistress into the house, and not only do you not objectâyou even help raise the baby and are willing to hand over the lady of the house title."
"Iâm really moved. Mrs. Perry, is this the kind of grace only a mistress-turned-wife can possess?"
Luke: "..."
Selina didnât hold back: "Is Mrs. Perry so generous because youâre just used to it by now? A cheater always cheatsâhasnât Mrs. Perry already dealt with quite a few illegitimate children over the years?"
"But this time, since Angelicaâs background is too ârespectableâ to just dispose of, you have no choice but to give up your rightful position. Iâm truly shocked. If this happened to me, I couldnât be so generous. Iâd probably rip the mistressâs head off."
Her voice softened, but the blow landed sharp as ever: "Oh waitâI donât have the chance. Logan would never cheat, so I donât have that problem."
Her words hit everyone except Logan and Luke.
Daniel, known cheater.
Amelia, the classic homewrecker.
Angelica, the so-called ârespectableâ mistress.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Amelia finally snapped, slamming a bowl on the table, face twisted with rage.
Selina didnât shut up. She even threw Ameliaâs own words back at her:
"Mrs. Perry, I get that youâre bitter. But what can you do? If something isnât yours, clinging to it wonât make it so."

Angelicaâs eyes widened. "Selina, what are you even saying? My child has nothing to do with Chairman Reid! This child... itâs Loganâs!"
Silence fell.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Mine?"
He took a slow sip of tea and said coolly, "Angelica, ever since news of your pregnancy, youâve been staying here at the Reid estate. My fatherâs been taking excellent care of you. So how exactly did the child end up being mine?"
Luke muttered, "Yeah, Dadâs never treated us this well. Why would he be so nice to Loganâs kid? Doesnât make sense."
Angelica burst into tears. "Logan, a month agoâyou pulled me into the room, I couldnât stop you... after that I found out I was pregnant..."
"Then have the baby and weâll do a DNA test."
Logan remained unbothered. "If it turns out the child isnât mine... you know what that means, Angelica."
Amelia clutched her chest, gasping in outrage. "Logan, how can you be so cold?"
Loganâs eyes flicked up, sharp and deliberate. "Well, Iâm not like Chairman Reid. I donât raise other menâs sons."
Ameliaâs face went pale. "Youâ"
Did Logan know something?
