Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 158

Arwen didn’t know why she asked that suddenly, but it was definitely something she had wanted to know all this while. Previously, she was scared of getting disappointed if he said he wasn’t the one. But today …she felt it no longer mattered.

Even if he weren’t the one that night, he would still be her husband —the one she could no longer think of parting with.

When Arwen didn’t hear him answer, she continued, "A month and a half back, I met with an accident at Palace Road in the East. I would have died that night if someone hadn’t appeared at the right time, like today, to save me. I was in a delirious state and had no visual remembrance of the man, but I still feel indebted to him. He saved me when someone abandoned me to die. I don’t know why but I feel a strange kind of longing for him, like I had known him from the past."

She paused for a second as if trying to search for a better explanation. "Same as I feel for you sometimes. Like I have known you from before. Though all of this doesn’t make much sense, I am still curious if any of it holds a possibility —the possibility of you being the one—the one who saved me that night?"

Arwen tried her best to explain but there was more in her that she was hesitant to say. She feared that if she said more, she would be misunderstood. Besides, she still wasn’t sure if he was the one that night.

Aiden had heard it all, but he didn’t choose to respond until he found a spot to park the car. Once done, he turned to look at her, his eyes focused as if reading the faintest details of her expression.

"What if I am not the one?" he suddenly asked. "Will you still look around for him?"

Arwen never thought about looking for that person, but she did want to know who he was. "I don’t know. He saved me and maybe I want to thank him for that. I —"

"Thank him?" Aiden raised his brows. "Are you sure you just want to thank him? I feel you have much deeper feelings for him."

"I …" The tone he used made Arwen feel guilty. Deeper feelings? Did she harbor deeper feelings? She, herself, wasn’t sure. But she did feel something for that person; otherwise, she wouldn’t have deliberately stayed in the hospital just to wait for him for so long.

"You said you feel longing for him, as if you knew him from the past," Aiden said. "Does that mean you will leave me if he shows up tomorrow?" Arwen’s pupils dilated at his words, as if she hadn’t expected you to articulate something like that.

"Definitely not!" Her expression scrunched as if she was repulsed with the thought itself. "How could you even think that? You are my husband. Why would I leave you for some stranger."

She rubbed her face as if trying to get over that thought. "I won’t deny that he has left an imprint on my heart, but it’s not what you are insinuating. My commitment to you, to our marriage, runs far deeper than any fleeting sense of connection that I might feel towards him. You are my husband, and except for you, I am not planning to share any romantic entanglement with anyone. Not even with that stranger." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
