Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 278

The way Ryan spoke through the gritted teeth, it was not hard to tell that he was restraining himself.

But does Jason care about his restraint?

Letting his lips curl in a disdainful smirk, he slowly said, "Then that’s more to it. After all, we never share anything in common to talk about, Mr. Foster."

With that, Jason was ready to turn and leave when Ryan’s voice halted him again.

"Dr. Clark, what’s your relationship with Arwen?"

Jason raised a brow, slowly turning back to glance at him. Catching the hint of the brooding expression on his face, he was amused. But holding his composed self well, he asked as if she couldn’t fathom his intention. "Sorry, Mr. Foster, but I can’t understand what you are trying to ask me. Last when I checked with you, you very well knew what relationship I share with Arwen."

Ryan felt furious."Dr. Clark, I —" But before he could say more, feigning impatience, Jason interrupted him.

"Mr. Foster, I stand by my words from yesterday. Arwen is family and I don’t like to discuss my family with some random outsider. So, I hope you won’t pester me."

"Dr. Clark, you sound greatly biased towards her. And that makes me curious about your relationship with her," Ryan said, every word coming out as venom that he seemed to be tasting himself. "I have known Arwen and her family for far longer to be know that neither her nor her family shares any familial bond with yours."

Saying that he wanted the man to know his position, but in the end, Jason just chuckled as if he had heard some kind of joke.

His reaction as simple as that seemed to be like a mockery thrown towards Ryan, but before Ryan could retort or refute, Jason took an intimidating step forward.

"Really?" Jason asked, making Ryan’s brows furrow in a frown. "Do you really know her as much as you claim?"

Ryan felt agitated. Did he have to prove to people whether he knows Arwen well or not? What do they take him as? She was his fiancé since the age of nineteen. Of course, he knows her and her family well. How could he not?

His fingers clenched as he tried to contain himself. "What do you intend to say, Dr. Clark? Do you really think I share no connection or relationship with Arwen?"

Jason stared down at him, eye in eye, his gaze not faltering even for a second as if he wasn’t doubting him but was rather confident about it. "I don’t see the need to confirm something I had witnessed on my own, Mr. Foster. So let’s not dwell on it and waste the precious time."
