Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 262

While back in the room, after the trio left, Arwen didn’t speak anything. She just stood there as if giving a chance to Ryan to initiate the conversation.

Ryan who still stood at the door, stared at her as if trying to find even the slightest shadow of her past self but no matter how long he looked at her, she didn’t look the same. She looks different —very indifferent.

Or, was it his guilt that was making her look like that?

"Arwen, why did you say it like that? I might not have been the best but I was —" Ryan tried to begin it, but as if growing impatient, Arwen spoke, interrupting him.

"Mr. Foster, I am not sure about you, but I am married. Please don’t say or do anything that would make people misunderstand me with you. I might not mind it, but I won’t be comfortable if any misunderstanding makes my husband uncomfortable."

Her words came framed so well that it instantly made Ryan feel guilty. "Husband?" he repeated.

And staring into his eyes, Arwen nodded, humming. "Yes, husband. Did you not know I am a married woman already?" she then frowned slightly and added, "How come? I have made sure that everyone knows it well. Especially the ones who know me even the slightest."

"Arwen," Ryan felt getting pressed under the burden of her words. "Can you not make a compromise seem so real? It’s just infuriating. How can you mention your relationship with so pride when it’s something that would be heavily slighted in our society?"

Arwen frowned. "Sorry, Mr. Foster. I am sorry, I don’t think I understand whatever you are saying. Are you saying that my legal relationship with my husband is something people will rebuff?"

"Do you think they won’t?" Though he was trying his best to ignore it, still Arwen’s tone of indifference seemed to be killing him inside. "Arwen, you married someone you shouldn’t —a man of age that’s not compatible with yours. You know that alone is frowned upon, yet —"

"Mr. Foster," Arwen interrupted again. "This story is something that I have already explained to Mrs. Quinn recently. I am not going to pull the same show again and clarify things for you because you are no one who needs to be clarified. But if you are still adamant about getting one, you can reach out to Mrs. Quinn and go again to discuss what I said to her. Don’t bother me to explain it again."

With that, she was ready to walk past him, but just when she was about to pass him, he held her arms, stopping her at his side. "Arwen, I came to explain things to you."
