Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 243

"Who is the old master?" Arwen asked, suddenly feeling guilty for not considering asking all this before.

Alfred didn’t hesitate anymore. He quickly replied. "Old Master is sir’s paternal grandfather. He really values sir and had persuaded relentlessly to bring him back to the family. But it was not until lady died that sir agreed to return to the family."

Arwen’s brows tugged in a frown as if contemplating something. "Did the lady didn’t stay in the family?"

"The madam was announced to be the next lady of the family," Alfred said, but his voice dropped in a whisper continuing further, "But long after that happened, she left the house. At that time, she was pregnant but no one knew. The old Master only came to know about it when she called him."

"She called him?"

Alfred nodded, his expression suddenly having hints of sorrow like he was empathizing with some kind of pain. "Lady was diagnosed with the last stage of cancer. She wanted the old man to take back sir so that after she was gone sir would be alone in this world. But sir never agreed to her and remained by her side until the last day."

Arwen felt greeting her eyes warm suddenly, When she reached out to see, she felt the tears. And it was then she realized, she was crying. But why? She had never known the lady before —she had never met Aiden’s mother before —she hadn’t even seen her picture nor had she heard him talking about her more than once, yet today she felt herself feeling her pains and sorrows, as if she has heard her speaking all that to her.

"Madam, are you alright?" Alfred asked when he saw her through the rearview mirror.

Arwen glanced at him, unable to say it for a moment. But then nodding, she hummed, "I am fine. Maybe I was just feeling the pain Aiden must have suffered at the loss of his mother." Though she said that to Alfred, it felt more like she was telling herself, giving the reasons behind her tears.

No one spoke anymore and the silence in the car stretched until Alfred announced, "Madam, we have arrived."

It was then Arwen looked outside, noticing herself already there outside the main office branch of Davies Empire. She stared outside and said, "Thank you, Alfred. You can wait inside in the lounge if you want. I will notify you once I am done here."

With that, she pushed the door open and stepped down the car, closing the door behind her. As she walked, two of the men approached her with smiles. "Ms. Quinn, you are here. We have been waiting for you. Mr. Wren will be arriving soon for the meeting and we have kept everything arranged. But it will be great if you can check it once." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Arwen nodded and soon they walked in the direction of the office that belonged to her but she rarely visited.

Meanwhile, at the same time at the hospital, Delyth was sitting on her bed as a nurse came in to give her the medicines.
