Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 290

Arwen paused at his words, her eyes locking onto his, slightly confused and slightly anticipative. She searched for answers in his gaze, her mind swirling with thoughts she couldn’t quite piece together.

Under her gaze like that, Aiden stepped closer, closing the already small distance between them. His hand moved slowly, reaching out to brush away the hair that was layering the side of her face before cupping her cheek.

Her breath hitched at his touch, warmth spreading from his palm to her skin. Her heart stuttered in her chest, betraying the calm she was trying to maintain. "What does that mean?" she asked, her voice soft but laced with curiosity.

"Why?" he asked, his voice low and deliberate. "Is it hard to believe?"

She didn’t know what to say.

Aiden’s gaze softened, but grief more intense, a quiet storm brewed in the depths of his eyes. He could see her struggling to understand. The way she was looking at him was enough to tell him that she was looking for the answers. The same ones that he was dying to tell as well.

But will she be able to take it? She couldn’t and that’s all that was making it so difficult.

However, no matter how much he was dying to remind her of their past, he was not ready to lose her.

"Moon," he began, his voice dipping into something raw and unguarded, "without my mother, I was alone. It was only when you appeared that I regained this world. You became the family; you became everything I desired."

She stiffened slightly, her lips parting as if to speak, but no words came.

"So when I said I have this longer than you can fathom," he continued, his thumb brushing tenderly across her cheekbone, "don’t take it as a lie. It’s the biggest truth of my life —one that I am most afraid to lose."

Arwen’s heart swelled, a tide of emotion rising that she didn’t quite know how to process. This might not be the answer she was looking for, but still, everything about it felt so perfect that she couldn’t bring herself to question it.

She might not know much about him yet, but she knew what his mother meant to him. Bringing her just to make her see the importance she held in his life was something she couldn’t undervalue.

Without saying another word she leaned forward and pressed her face over his heart, letting one arm wrap around him, while the other rested on his chest. "I never take your words as a lie, husband. If I have become the biggest truth of your life, then you have become mine as well. Do you believe me if I say that?"

She asked, even though she didn’t know how she would explain if he refused to believe. And even if she explained, would her reasons sound as sincere as his?

While her mind raced with all those thoughts, she felt Aiden wrap his arms around her frame, enclosing her in his embrace. He took in a deep breath and hummed. "I believe everything you say."
