Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle'-Chapter 377: You Were the Real Savior

"Then I realized James couldn’t answer my question at all. In the end, he said Angelica went to the eastern outskirts of City H to hunt you down."

Logan leaned in close, his warm breath brushing her ear.

"He said you were being chased by assassins Angelica brought, and had no choice but to escape into the snowy mountains. City H is in the north—once winter hits, it’s completely snowed in. Angelica didn’t dare go up the mountain, but someone did."

Selina’s eyes suddenly burned with heat. She felt like she already knew what he was going to say. "Logan..."

"I’m sorry, my lifesaver. I came four years too late."

And not just four years late—Angelica had been flaunting the title of "Logan’s savior" all these years. No one dared question her, and that lie had only made Selina’s life harder.

This wasn’t something that could be fixed with a simple apology.

Suddenly, Selina stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

Logan’s eyes darkened, guilt brimming within them. None of this was his fault, yet he felt he owed Selina so much.

That young girl from four years ago—the one he’d been looking for. The one he gave roses to. The one he made a promise with.

It had been Selina all along.

"It’s okay. You’re not too late," Selina said, trying to sound proud. "Logan, from now on, I’m your lifesaver. So you have to listen to everything I say."

Logan let out a soft laugh. "Yes, ma’am."

Just then, Jack came rushing in, pacing nervously. He clearly didn’t want to ruin the moment—but he had to.

"Something wrong?" Logan asked coolly.

Jack immediately answered, "Sir, Master Luke is here."

Logan nodded. Luke showing up made sense.

Jack hesitated, "But... uh... he..."

Selina raised an eyebrow and walked toward the door.

...

Luke stepped into Sapphire Valley Villa carrying a basket.

In it: candles, white lilies, and a framed photo of Selina.

"Selina... sob... you died so tragically. I hope you reincarnate into a good family next life..."

He sniffled, placing the flowers and photo gently on the dining table, and lit a candle beside them.

Tears blurred his vision. He slumped into a dining chair, trembling, and pulled out a letter from the basket, tucking it under the photo frame.

"You were so young... sob... we’ll be sisters again in our next life..."

Luke burst into real tears, hugging the basket as he cried out loud.

"That heartless Logan is seriously going to get engaged to Angelica right here at Sapphire Valley Villa?! He’s got no soul! Selina, don’t worry—I’ll protect your last sacred ground. I won’t let that scheming little green tea Angelica taint your home!"

Luke clenched his fists, trying to hype himself up. "Come on, Luke! Be brave! Don’t fear the enemy! Stand tall against evil Logan! I’m the righteous..."

His heroic speech abruptly cut off as he saw... something. His face turned ghostly pale.

"You... you... you’re not... ahhhhh!"

Luke screamed at the top of his lungs, "She’s risen from the dead!"

Why was he seeing Selina—alive?! Wasn’t she supposed to be dead?! Since when do ghosts show up in broad daylight?

He looked up at the sun. Then at Selina, clearly standing in the sun.

"Selina, I—I’ve always treated you well! If you have any grudges, go haunt Angelica! If you need anything, just say the word—I’ll do whatever it takes! Or is it that you have some unfinished business? I—I can help you..."

Then Logan appeared behind Selina, casually wrapping an arm around her waist. "Luke."

"Ah! Huh? Wha... even ghosts have physical form now?"

Logan... can touch a ghost?

Logan had zero interest in dealing with his idiot brother.

Selina glanced at the teary-eyed, puppy-like fool and clicked her tongue. "Relax, I’m not dead."

Luke’s eyes flew wide open.

He mustered the courage to pinch Selina’s arm. "You’re really alive! Then why’d you fake your death?"

Selina gave a cool smile. "You think I wanted to? Angelica was practically begging for me to die."

Luke suddenly remembered the "will," and gritted his teeth in anger. "I get it now—Angelica forged the will! I’m so pissed!"

Selina’s smile deepened. "So, wanna attend Logan and Angelica’s... engagement party?"

Luke’s eyes went wide. "Selina, you don’t mean..."

Selina nodded solemnly. "That’s exactly what I mean." Angelica was a murderer—unforgivable.

In his usual sweet voice, Luke said: "You’re gonna fake a resurrection at the engagement party... and scare Angelica to death!"

Selina: "...?" This is what that little fool’s brain came up with?

...

Two days later, Reid Group held a press conference.

As the head of the Reid family, Grandpa Reid solemnly announced Selina’s death and declared that they would honor her "will" by hosting an engagement party for Logan and Angelica.

On the seventh day after Selina’s death, Logan and Angelica’s engagement would be held. As soon as the news broke, the internet erupted with heated debate.

Comments flooded in:

"They’re holding an engagement party on her head-seven? That’s way too fast. No respect for the dead at all."

"Right? Isn’t there a saying, ’respect the dead’? No funeral for Selina, and her husband’s getting engaged to her sister? I don’t even know what to say..."

"Does no one care what Selina would’ve wanted? Who even came up with this twisted idea?"

Of course, Angelica’s fans pushed back.

"This was Selina’s dying wish, okay? You all keep saying ’respect the dead’—then respect her will!"

"Exactly. Selina wanted Mr. Reid and Angelica to get engaged quickly. What’s wrong with doing it on the seventh day?"

"Congrats to Angelica! True love wins!"

"Angelica is the Morris Family heiress, and she landed Logan? I’m so jealous."

Angelica watched the comments stabilize and couldn’t help but smile.

"Dad, is the wedding dress designer here yet?"

Joe looked at Angelica with pride. "Yes, he’s here. Angelica, you’ll be the most beautiful bride in the world. Kyle, your sister’s getting engaged—why haven’t you said a word?"

Kyle sat silently nearby, his eyes red.

Joe frowned. "Kyle!"

"...Dad..." Kyle finally looked up, dazed. "Are we really not giving Selina a funeral? You all know... Angelica is the reason she died..."

He didn’t even need to say it. Angelica was the one who caused Selina’s death!

But now, they were acting like—

Angelica’s eyes turned red as she said softly, "Big brother... are you blaming me? I know Selina’s death had something to do with me... but she forgave me." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Joe was clearly annoyed. "Kyle, what’s your problem? Angelica is your real sister—why are you feeling sorry for Selina? Logan didn’t even plan a funeral, so why are you making a fuss? And you read the will too. What are you still upset about?"

What was he still upset about?

Kyle’s eyes welled up. "Dad, do you even realize... Selina is actually—"
