Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 131

Meanwhile at Foster Villa,

Beca was sitting and massaging her head when she heard her husband returning. Looking at him, she asked, "Who was that?" They had been receiving the calls nonstop since morning.

Gareth shook his head, looking tired. "It was another of our relatives. They were again asking the same thing if we are truly considering taking Delyth into our family."

"We are not, of course," Beca said almost immediately, getting irritated with the thought of that idea itself. "Why are they even asking that?"

"They seemed to be equally displeased about it. They are just calling to make sure we are aware of their displeasure. After all, Ryan’s actions had left everyone dumbfounded." Gareth rarely involved himself with Ryan’s personal affairs, but now, with the fallout and persistent questioning of the family members and business partners, he could no longer ignore it. "Did you call him?" he asked.

Beca let out a tired sigh, rubbing her temple. "I did. But I am not hoping for anything better," she said, and her husband’s face mirrored her expression. "Your son is bewitched. I can barely recognize him these days."

"It’s fine Beca. He has grown up. We can’t force him into a relationship. Arwen is a good girl, but …"

Before Mr. Foster could finish his words, Beca snapped. "Gareth!" she called out sharply, frowning at his suggested meaning. "Are you asking me to accept Delyth just because your son likes her? Let me tell you, it will only happen over my dead body."

"Beca!"

"I am serious Gareth. I won’t let that girl enter our household. No matter what. So don’t even ask me that. Your son may have grown, but he still couldn’t tell the difference between a pearl and a rock," she said, and Gareth sighed inwardly.

"That’s not what I meant, Beca. I didn’t ask you to accept Delyth. I was just saying that if Ryan doesn’t like Arwen, we shouldn’t force them together," he paused, then continued, "He should be with someone he truly appreciates. After all, marriages are for life, and compromises can only go so far."

Beca shook her head at his words. "It doesn’t matter anymore, Gareth. We can’t force them together now —not because Ryan doesn’t like Ryan, but because Arwen would never choose Ryan again. In fact, no good woman would choose your son."

"What do you mean?" Gareth asked, frowning at his wife’s choice of words. No matter how upset Beca was, she would never normally speak so harshly about their son.

Just then, a sound at a distance caught her attention, and she turned to see Ryan approaching. Casting him a scornful look, she replied, "What I mean is that no woman will choose a man who leaves his fiancée to die just to tend to his mistress, And your son has a history of tha. Isn’t that right, Ryan?"
