Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 273

"Mr. Winslow, what exactly did you say or do to my friend?" Arwen asked, her gaze narrowed at Aiden.

Aiden raised a brow at her, feigning complete innocence. "What did I do?"

"That’s what I am asking you. What did you do?" she repeated. She might not have said anything all this while because Carl, Eira and Amelia were around. But it wasn’t that she didn’t notice that Gianna had been behaving strangely since Aiden showed up. There was something surely.

He shrugged. "I didn’t nothing."

Arwen took her steps to him. Standing right in front of him, she looked up, further narrowing her eyes. "You want me to believe that?" she said, her voice coming soft but clearly carrying confidence. "Gianna was clearly looking out of the place today which shouldn’t have been the case given you two had known each other. Why was that?"

Aiden leaned down and pressed his lips on her forehead. And Arwen quickly stepped a step back. "Don’t husband," she warned but her voice faltered. "Don’t try to switch our conversation with a kiss like that. I am serious here. Gianna is important to me and I want to know what’s bothering her."

She was serious but for obvious reasons, Aiden’s kiss held an effect on her, making her flush instantly.

Aiden shook his head. "You got it wrong," he said, pulling her back in his embrace. His arms rested around her waist, keeping her close. "I didn’t intend to switch our conversation."

"Really?" Arwen asked as if she couldn’t believe him. "Then what else explains your sudden affection?"

"You looked adorable, advocating against me just now," he said, continuing. "I couldn’t stop myself from stealing a part of you when you looked like that." He said it with such sincerity that Arwen no longer knew what else to say.

Coughing, she said, "If that’s so insignificant, then let’s not dawdle over it. Instead, tell me what I asked for. Why was Gianna so uncomfortable around you."

"If that’s the question you want to ask me, Moon," he paused briefly as if considering something. "Then I would suggest you ask her to get a better answer. As for me, I can’t tell. All I can say is that we never share a bond close enough to keep her comfortable around me."

Arwen frowned. "What do you mean?" As far as she has heard from Gianna, she really praised him a lot. If not sharing a close bond, why else Gianna would be so attached to him?

Aiden’s expression hardened as he explained. "She is the daughter of my father’s eldest daughter. I met her once when I was young. Other than that one time, I don’t remember any incident when I even encountered her again." he said, and Arwen halted hearing him mention his father.

"Your father’s eldest daughter?" she repeated and Aiden glanced at her as if waiting for her to complete her question. "Doesn’t that make her your sister?" She never heard him mention his siblings so she couldn’t help but be surprised.

"I am the only son of my mother, how can she be my sister?" Aiden asked, his lips curling in a disdainful smirk.
