Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 26

Foster Villa on St. Fords Lane.

Emyr didn’t need not to ask whom the lady was planning to meet. The Fosters weren’t a new name to him. Even before they had returned to Cralens, he had been keeping tabs on them per his boss’s orders.

He swallowed visibly, unsure of what to do next. Driving the lady to the Foster Villa, where her ex-fiancé lived, felt like summoning his own death.

Emyr was still hesitating, wondering whether he should take the risk of asking his boss or not, when he suddenly heard Aiden’s annoyed voice.

"What’s wrong, Emyr? Did you forget the way to St. Fords Lane?"

Of course not. Emyr has entire blueprint of Cralens, especially the city of Cralora, memorized. Even with amnesia, it would be hard to forget the routes.

"I am sorry, sir. I was just recalling the easiest route to St. Fords Lane. I will drive there straight away." He replied, escaping through the narrowest lane. and

Arwen quickly added, "No need to hurry. You can drive at your own pace, Mr. Ethan."

Emyr nodded, and started the car to drive to the St. Fords Lane.

As the scenic view passed behind them, the silence in the car became more and more deafening. Usually, silence like this didn’t bother Arwen, but something about it this time made her feel unsettled.

Unable to bear the feeling any longer, she turned to look at Aiden, who was sitting beside her. She stared at him until he turned to meet her gaze.

"Do you need anything?" he asked gently, and Arwen shook her head.

"I thought of telling you something," she said. After a second, noticing the itch on her expression, Aiden nodded.

"Sure, tell me. What is it?"

"You are not going to ask me why I am going to the Fosters?" It wasn’t that Arwen felt compelled to tell Aiden everything, but sitting beside him while heading to her ex-fiancé’s family home without letting him know made her uncomfortable. It wasn’t exactly betrayal, but the feeling was similar.

Aiden studied her furrowed brows and asked gently, "You want me to ask you?"

Was that a question?

Arwen frowned slightly and said, "Ryan, my fian –I mean, my ex-fiancé, is a Foster. Foster Villa is where his parents live. I thought you had an inkling who he was since they mentioned his name at the magistrate’s office earlier."

"Yes, I heard the Foster name there. And I am aware that he is your ex-fiancé," Aiden replied, without hiding anything. But then, he said nothing more, leaving Arwen confused at his nonchalance. It wasn’t because she wanted him to be jealous, but she thought he might get upset if he found it later.
