Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 186

Ryan stared at Delyth’s worried face for a moment longer than necessary before shaking his head. "There is no need for you to explain anything, Delyth," he said with a decisive tone.

His words like that finally brought the relief Delyth was craving. For a moment she had thought that Ryan had softened towards Arwen, but his apparent indifference to the misunderstanding eased her anxious nerves. As long as Ryan doesn’t care for Arwen, she has the chance. Internally smiling, she kept her outward expression calm.

"Arwen shouldn’t have to be so fickle," Delyth said, her voice tinged with subtle disdain. "How could she misunderstand you so easily?" She paused briefly, then added. "But Ryan, you don’t have to be stubborn either. She was your financée. If she misunderstood you, take the opportunity to explain everything to her. Don’t let this misconception linger, or else —"

Ryan interrupted her, his brows furrowed. "Arwen isn’t fickle." his words surprised her, cutting through the calm facade she wore. "She is my fiancée and she has every right to feel hurt and betrayed if what she saw made her believe something untrue. I don’t blame her."

Delyth was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected him to accept Arwen’s attitude. Shouldn’t he be furious instead?

"Ryan, you mean…?"

"Delyth, when I said there is nothing for you to explain, I meant there is no need for you to step between me and Arwen," Ryan clarified, making Delyth’s fingers curled on her sides. "Arwen has misunderstood me. And being her fiancé, I will take the opportunity myself to make her understand things. I don’t want you or anyone else to step in there."

The finality in his words left no room for argument.

Delyth’s jaws tightened, but she nodded, feigning agreement. "Of course," she murmured. "I only wanted to help as I feel I am to be blamed here. If I hadn’t kept you all occupied with me, maybe Arwen had less reason to misunderstand you. I —"

"It’s fine, Delyth," Ryan cut her off. "Even I am to be blamed. I should have been more mindful."

Delyth felt it hard to contain. She blamed herself intentionally, thinking Ryan would chide her, saying it was not her fault like how he would usually do. Instead, he subtly accepted it blaming himself. Was he saying that he was regretting taking care of her?

She no longer dared to ask him that. She feared what she would hear in return, hence she simply nodded. After a moment of silence, she turned her head up again and slowly asked, "Ryan, don’t take me wrong. I am not blaming Arwen, but don’t you think she overdid it this time?"

She then paused and said carefully, "Even if she misunderstood you, she should have left you a gateway. Now that she is married, even if you explain things to her, you two can’t get together. I mean —"
