Andrew's expression flickered with satisfaction, but Bella feigned concern and said softly, "Selina, don't be upset. There's really nothing between Logan and me. We grew up together, and if we were meant to be, it would've happened long ago. Don't overthink it."
Selina remained perfectly composed. "I'm not overthinking. I trust Logan's judgment. He didn't fancy Miss Hayes before, and I doubt he does now."
Bella nearly choked on her own breath. What did she mean Logan didn't fancy her?! This wretched woman—who did she think she was?!
But she had to keep her forced smile. "I… I'm glad to hear that."
Sensing the tension, Ethan quickly intervened with a lighthearted chuckle. "Andrew, stop stirring trouble. Bella, didn't you say you brought gifts?"
Bella smiled warmly. "Yes, I made sure everyone got something. I even asked Logan to help me pick them out today."
