Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 24

Arwen blinked. Was it really that easy? Even as she signed her name on the form, she couldn’t quite believe it. As she pushed the documents toward the man sitting beside her, she ogled his composed demeanor. He was so calm, as if nothing was out of the place.

He had come for her, and she was meant to be his.

"Do I intrigue you so much, dear wife?" Aiden suddenly turned to her, catching her off-guard.

Befuddled, Arwen nodded at first, but then after considering what he had asked, she shook her head. "Not at all. You look very ordinary."

"Ordinary?" Aiden raised a brow.

Arwen nodded, flustered, knowing full well what a big lie that was. He was anything but ordinary.

Aiden smirked. "Fine, we will discuss that later. From now on anyway we have all the time in the world to explore what you mean by ’ordinary’."

Arwen turned to look at him with creases formed in between her brows, briefly forgetting the weight of his words. But, as if to remind her, the magistrate spoke up, "There, it’s almost done."

He picked up the department seal, pressed it onto the paper beside the President’s seal, and signed his name. "I now declare you husband and wife. You can take the receipt now, and come back to collect your official marriage certificate in fifteen days."

With a smile pressed on his lips, he looked at Arwen and then shifted his gaze to Aiden. "Congratulations to you both!"

Aiden nodded to him before turning his attention to Arwen to say, "The procedures here are done. Emyr will take care of the rest. We can leave."

Arwen looked at him and nodded. She was about to stand up when Aiden extended his hand towards her. She glanced up, realizing his gaze was asking her to take his hand.

She almost wanted to laugh –it felt so surreal. But maybe it was the right thing to do, especially given the magistrate’s earlier doubts.

Arwen placed her hand in his and stood up, whispering, "Thank you."

"It’s my pleasure," he replied as they walked out together, looking every bit like a beautiful couple. Emyr smiled at the sight of them. But then, turning back, he requested the receipt and the file of documents that were needed to be taken. The assistant quickly handed it to him, and Emyr followed his boss out.

"Sir, why were you so surprised to see his documents? Was it just because they got them approved by the President’s office?" The assistant asked as he saw the three people leaving.

The magistrate shook his head. "Not just that, but also because of the additional details that were added further ahead." The magistrate said before continuing, "If the President’s office hadn’t approved it, we didn’t have the authority to approve it on our own accord."
