Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 138

Arwen looked at Aiden through the mirror and pressed her lips in a thin line. Turning around, she narrowed her gaze at him. Pressing her hands over her hips, she pouted, "Husband, you already made me accept your condition, but you are still upset. Aren’t you putting me at a loss?"

Aiden crossed his arms as he stared at her. His brows were still slightly furrowed in concern while his gaze was steady. "Accepting my condition doesn’t make me any less concerned, Moon," he said.

Arwen softened. She could feel his fear, his dread of seeing her hurt and it kind of warmed her heart. She never knew someone’s concern could make one feel so relaxed. But here with him concerned for her, she felt it unnecessary to stay concerned for herself.

Stepping closer, she pressed a soft smile over her lips. "I know you worry," she said gently, reaching for his hand. "But I want you to believe me. Believe in the promise that I have given you. Same as I believe that nothing wrong will happen to me with you around."

Aiden’s expression softened just a bit, and she squeezed his hand reassuringly. They shared a small moment until Arwen realized something really important that she had been missing.

Glancing at her watch, she said, "Oh, it’s already time. I think I should make a move now, or else I will get late." As she completed her words, she removed her hands from his and took a step back.

Although he had been swift in her move, Aiden was still able to feel the slight vibration through her cold skin that she only gets when she is nervous.

"You want me to come?" he asked again, even though he knew she would refuse.

Arwen hesitated. She wanted him to come with her so that she could be calmer. But at the same time, she knew she couldn’t ask him today, not when she knew that her mother could wreak havoc over things. She doesn’t want him to face that because he didn’t deserve it.

Shaking her head, she smiled. "It’s fine, I will handle it," she said.

Aiden stared at her for a moment before nodding to her. Standing up, he took a step closer to her and cupped her cheek. "I know you will."

Arwen nodded back to him, letting his confidence seep into her through his gentle caress. "You are not going to company today?" she asked, noting that it was past his usual timing.

"I will. I am just waiting for you," he said and she raised her brows at him, not understanding what he meant. At which, he further added, "Come on, get your bag, I will drop you there on the way."

Arwen blinked. "But Quinn’s Villa is not on your way."

"It doesn’t have to be on my way to drive you there, Moon. I can drive you to your destination before making the trip to mine," he said, and Arwen smiled.

"Alright. Wait for me, I will get my bag." With that, she turned to walk back to the closet to get her handbag. "Let’s go," she said as she came out, ready to go.
