Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 23

Arwen was taken aback a little. Did he just accept the responsibility for a mistake he hadn’t committed? Why?

She stared at him for a moment, trying to understand why he would do such a thing, when Aiden turned to look at her, raising his brows in question.

"Why?" she asked, not hiding her curiosity.

Aiden smiled. "Because you are my woman. He didn’t say anything wrong."

Arwen blinked, trying to decipher his logic. So, just because she was his woman, he accepted the blame for something he didn’t do?

Arwen felt that was a bit too heavy to make sense. Rubbing her nose gently, she looked at the office assistant and said, "Sorry sir, but I think there is a little adjustment that you will need to make on those papers."

The man didn’t understand and looked confused, glancing at the papers in his hand. "What adjustment do you need, ma’am?"

Arwen exchanged a glance with Aiden and then said slowly, "Uh, the name of my fiancé."

"Yes, that’s Mr. Ryan Foster, isn’t it?"

Arwen shook her head. "Nope, it’s not him."

The assistant frowned, and just at that moment, someone’s voice made him turn his head.

"I brought the right papers." Emyr appeared with the stack of documents in his hand. "Here," he said, extending them to the officer. "All the necessary adjustments have been made in these. We can complete the required procedures."

Arwen looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere, solving their issues without much explanation. "Sorry, you are–?"

"Emyr Ethan, my secretary." Aiden answered willingly, while Emyr inclined his head, showing sincere politeness.

"Ms. Quinn!"

Arwen smiled in return before turning back to look back at the person who would help them with the procedures. "Since the necessary documents are here already, shall we proceed? We still have the time –it’s not quite five yet."

Emyr also added with a smile, "Magistrate Sir must still be waiting. We shouldn’t make him wait too long."

With everything settled, Arwen entered the marriage registrar’s office with Aiden. After taking their first couple picture together, they went to sit at the desk.

Just when Aiden and Arwen were about to complete the procedure by putting their signatures next to each other, the assistant from earlier approached and whispered something to the magistrate. The middle-aged man’s expression changed as he looked at Arwen.

"Ms. Quinn, this might be your decision, but I must remind you that marriage is not something to be taken lightly. Especially when making it official legally. You shouldn’t make such decision as big as this on a whim?"
