Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 164

Aiden sat quietly at Arwen’s bedside when she stirred in her sleep. Her little movement jolted him awake immediately. "Moon," he called softly, reaching out to gently hold her hands.

Arwen’s lashes fluttered a little before she slowly opened her eyes. "Aiden," she murmured, her voice soft as she noticed him sitting there. Her gaze then slowly shifted around the room. "What are we doing here again? Didn’t we leave earlier?"

Aiden paused at her question before replying, "You collapsed on the way so, I had to bring you back."

"I collapsed?" she asked, her tone filled with surprise. "How?"

Aiden frowned, his guilt shadowing his face. Knowing he was responsible, he avoided her gaze. Keeping his focus on the hand he held, he said, "I am sorry. I shouldn’t have brought the past up. I didn’t know …"

But before he could say any further, Arwen interrupted, "Wait!" Her brows knitting together at his words. "What do you mean ’you are sorry’, husband? How long were you planning to hide things from me?"

Her sudden question caught Aiden off-guard. For a moment, he paused, glancing up at her, slightly shocked. Did she remember it all now? He searched her gaze, asking tentatively. "Did you remember it all?"

Arwen pressed her lips in a thin line. Lying down on the bed like that caused her a little inconvenience, so she shifted to get into a better position to speak with him properly. Taking his support, she sat up before saying, "When did I even forget it anything to begin with, that I had to remember it again?"

Aiden didn’t understand. As his brows drew in confusion, he asked, "You mean —"

Rolling her eyes, Arwen cut him off mid-sentence. "Of course, I mean I remember, husband. I remember it well —you told me it was you who saved me that night, my Mr. Savior." Her lips curved up in a gentle smile, while her gaze softened. "And now that I remembered it all, I will never forget it again."

Aiden’s fingers clenched, unable to decipher what was happening. He felt as if he were losing everything all over again. He had told himself he could endure her forgetting him, as long as she remained by his side. He thought he could build a new life with her, patiently waiting for her love to bloom again.

But now, how could he bear the thought of her suffering? The suffering that she had endured alone, unable to piece together the fragments of her past. He might not know what had happened to her, but he knew well that he definitely was a part of it. If not directly, then indirectly. If only he had protected her well, she might not have suffered. If he hadn’t left, then maybe …

Aiden’s heart twisted at the thought of his incompetence before. Arwen might have noticed his inner turmoil, so she asked, "What’s wrong?" _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

But instead of Aiden, Jason answered her from the door. "What else it could be?" he teased, his tone light and taunting as he walked into the room with a file in his hand. His expression carried the same friendly smile he always wore around Arwen."Your husband is just worried that I am not skilled enough to treat you properly."
