Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 285

Brenda exchanged a gaze with Margaret. Although there wasn’t even a subtle change in the old woman’s expression, still it was like Margaret understood what she was intending to say. She blinked once and the old woman turned to look back at Arwen, saying a meaningful tone.

"Margaret, did you hear her?" Brenda said, eyeing Arwen with narrowed gaze. "She now feels stuffy and suffocating here. Alas, how easily girls forget their homes after meeting their husbands. They couldn’t even think of the place being the same. Instead without their husband, they feel everywhere suffocating."

She then paused and asked in a quirky tone, "What? Have you replaced oxygen with your husband? So now that he is not here, you are feeling suffocating?"

Arwen blinked speechlessly …

After a brief pause, she nodded and spoke, "Is that how you plan to switch the subjects now, Granna?" Then shaking her head, slow and deliberate, she added, "Sigh, over the years I thought one would only upskill themselves. How did you start deteriorating in your ways?"

Arwen didn’t need to ponder another minute to know what her grandmother was trying to do. Even if she hadn’t seen the small exchange between her grandmother and Aunt Margaret, she could tell what she was upto.

And earlier when she had entered the house, she had felt the tense air too obvious. At that time, she just wanted to ease the atmosphere, but that never meant she wouldn’t inquire about the reason behind it. Hence, after a brief while, she rephrased her words and asked again, "What had happened, Granna? You know that even if you try, you won’t be able to hide it from me for long. So, tell me without waiting for long."

Arwen was right and Brenda knew it as well. No matter what she tried to hide, Arwen would know it sooner or later. It just that she wished that when that time came, the young lass wouldn’t hate her too much. She might have taken her daughter’s hatred, but she wouldn’t be able to bear her granddaughter’s.

’It’s about —" Brenda opened her mouth to speak but Arwen read her thoughts too well.

So, before she could say anything, she interrupted her saying, "Granna, you better don’t tell me it’s regarding business if you really want to weave a story. Make it something believable even if you want to lie."

Given since the last few years, Arwen has been handling everything regarding the Davies Empire Hotels, she was sure nothing regarding the business would have stirred such reaction from her grandmother.

But then if it’s not about the business, what else could be?

After all, there were only two things that could stir her grandmother’s mood. One was the business and the other was Catrin Quinn.

Suddenly, Arwen’s expression hardened and she asked, "Was it her?"

Even though Arwen hadn’t mentioned the name, Brenda knew who was she referring to. She didn’t respond and her silence like that only made Arwen frown more. Her fingers clenched into fists.

"So, it was her," she grunted. "Did she blame you again?"

Brenda shook her head. "You are exaggerating your mother, Wennie. How can it be her? Do you think I will sit back and listen to her?"
