Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: When are you going to end this game of hide and seek?

Gianna got Arwen back with her. Her mood had gotten spoiled because of Ryan and Delyth. But later, Arwen made sure to bring Gianna back to her usual cheerfulness within an hour of getting back home.

"Wennie, you know I am no longer alone in this city." Gianna suddenly said, causing Arwen to furrow her brows at her.

"Because you have me?" Arwen asked, and Gianna pursed her lips before rolling her eyes.

"Dumbo! That's not what I meant. Because I met you, I never felt like a stranger in this city. But coming back home, I was alone. You complete me as a friend and add to my family. But what I mentioned just now was not about you." She said, pushing the bowl of edible seeds towards Arwen, who took her turn to chew on them.

Arwen looked at her and then nodded with some understanding. But then she didn't speak or ask more, turning back to the screen to resume the video. Just as she did, Gianna leaned forward to pause it, then turned back with squinted eyes.

"Anna, what are you doing? Didn't we plan to watch this series together? If you keep pausing it, how are we going to watch it?" Arwen spoke matter-of-factly.

But Gianna didn't mind deviating from the plan a little. "I just shared something with you. Shouldn't we be talking about it?"

"What is there to talk about? I understand that someone from your family has arrived in Cralens and you are happy with it. I am happy for you too, but this part is going to be interesting. If we pause it now, we might miss the fun," she reasoned.

Gianna pouted a little and then turned to look at the screen. "I thought I was important to you. But you are favoring a series over me. How long is this series going to stay? A few episodes. Wennie, I will stay with you for life."

She said it in a melodramatic tone, and Arwen wanted to cry. Leaning forward, she didn't mind and closed the laptop window, then turned to her friend to say, "Continue. Let's discuss your significant relative first. This series could wait, and so can its fun."

As she said that, a cherry smile curled on Gianna's lips and she perked up, "I knew it. You favor me the most."

Arwen narrowed her eyes at the girl. "You better start before I change my min."

"My uncle recently moved here. He is one of my favorites, and my mother called yesterday to inform that he got back to his estate." Gianna cheered, and Arwen looked at her a little surprised.

"His estate?" she asked, and Gianna nodded.

"It's his return. Years ago, he left the city and then the country when his mother died. I came here because of him, but by the time I arrived, he was already gone. I never thought he would return, but guess what? He came back a few weeks back."
