Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 269

It took a while for Gianna to react. Even though she pieced it all together, she still couldn’t bring herself to believe that Aarwen married her uncle. But no longer able to bear the disbelief, she walked forward, greeting politely.

"Uncle," she began, planning to confirm once. But the moment, Aiden’s eyes turned to her, she immediately faltered, changing her tone. "It’s nice meeting you after so long."

Aiden glanced at her briefly before nodding to her. Arwen was taken aback but when she saw Aiden simply nodding to Gianna, she repeated, "Uncle?" Turning to Gianna, she couldn’t help but incredulously ask, "Is he the uncle you mentioned every time to me?"

Eira and Amelia were also taken aback. While they exchanged gazes, Carl asked, "Wait, does that mean Sister Gianna, you knew him all the while and still you said that you might disapprove of him? Why is he not a good person for Senior Sister?"

If Aiden hadn’t been standing there, Gianna wouldn’t have minded strangling Carl at this moment. All this while, she thought he was young and innocent, but only now, she realized he was the devil’s incarnation.

"Carl," she began, "How could I disapprove my own uncle? I have always praised him with the best. He has always been an angel in my life."

Carl’s brows furrowed before he shook his head. "Angel?" he repeated. "But didn’t you say that he was the devil in disguise who taught Senior Sister to be a wicked, witty talker?"

Gianna wanted to kill Carl but before that, she wanted to find herself a hole and bury herself inside. Aiden’s cold glare was too unbearable to take. She thought over the years, she had grown herself strong enough to stand it but taking it heads on, she finally realized maybe she would never be able to make herself strong enough to take it —never.

"Carl, I am sure you still want to see eager to see your life ahead"

Carl not thinking much nodded.

"Then it would be better if you save up some energy. After all, we all have gotten limited breath. With every dozen words, you lose a few, this way you will end your life early. Won’t you?" she pressed her lips in a begrudging smile, one that Carl clearly failed to understand.

But this time he didn’t say anything. Something on Gianna’s expression warned him and he pressed his lips, refraining himself from talking anymore.

While Gianna turned back to Aiden, her demeanor apologetic. "Uncle, I —"

Arwen still not able to understand turned Gianna to her and asked, "Can you please explain things to me first?"

Gianna was about to nod and explain it all to her when Aiden pulled Arwen to himself. His action was swift, almost taking everyone aback.

Arwen frowned but before she could say anything or pull herself away, he spoke, "You asked me to make the reservation. It’s already time. If we delay anymore, we will be late."

Arwen checked the time on her watch and it was actually time. "But I still am confused." Her gaze darted to look at Gianna, who was staring at them as if they had grown three heads.
