Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 129

Cralens High School had been Arwen’s previous high school. Though she might not remember much from the time there, its name was still etched in her memory, a small reminder of a past she had forgotten.

Seeing Aiden mention Cralen High School in his history on MomentShare made her pause. She turned to look at him in surprise, waiting for him to answer her.

Aiden’s fingers froze midair for a moment before he nodded, accepting it. Meeting her surprised expression, he said, "It was the school my mother could afford."

Arwen didn’t fully understand, nor did Aiden chose to explain the details. "So, till the time I stayed here, I went there."

Although his tone was casual, Arwen didn’t miss the flicker in his eyes when he mentioned his mother. She sensed a story he was hesitant to share. Not wanting to press him, she simply nodded, changing the subject.

"What a coincidence we share! That was also my primary school. I had been there for some time, but later I got transferred to another. If we were in the same year, I might have thought we had met. But you must have been my senior, so I doubt we hardly would have crossed paths. Maybe ...Maybe we just passed each other in same corridor." _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

She said before pausing for a moment. A small smile curled her lips slight as if she had seen some possibility there. "That seems possible. After all, we have got into so many coincidences that one more of such kind wouldn’t surprise me," she chuckle with a hint of playfulness in her tone. "Do you remember any beautiful girl there who left a lasting impression? Someone like me? Maybe we would have bumped into each other sometime in some common corridor, or —"

Arwen only meant to tease him, but Aiden’s gaze grew still at her. The depth of his chestnut brows suddenly deepened as if he was once again reliving the past she had forgotten. The time when a young girl bumped into him, making him stumble hard against a wall.

Her amber pairs still looked the same but the fierceness it held then was very different. It was more like a pit of fire that could swallow a soul all at once. Same as it had swallowed his, then.

When Arwen saw him lost, she felt something amiss. She snapped her fingers in front of him, forcing a small, awkward smile. "You don’t have to think so deeply. I was just messing up with you. There could be no such coincidence. And even if there was one, neither of us would remember it after so many years."

Aiden’s jaws clenched slightly at her words. Even if her words were true, he found it painful to realize how easily she had forgotten him, as if he never existed there in her world.

Arwen noticed the shift in his expression and his mood, and her playful smile faded. Something in Aiden’s silence unsettled her. The way his jaws tightened, and the way his gaze shifted, she could see a storm beneath his calm surface a hint of something that he was keeping to himself —hesitating to share.

"Aiden?" she asked softly, placing her hand gently on his. "I truly just meant to tease. I didn’t mean to …"
