Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 291

"Husband," Arwen began, slowly curling her lips in a forced smile, "you are scaring me."

Aiden looked at her, as if amused. He leisurely took his glass of water. "Am I?" he asked sipping on it before saying, "But I am just asking a simple question. How could a question scare you like that?"

She swallowed. Of course, he was just asking a question. But does he have to make a simple, casual question sound so dark and dangerous?

"It’s just a simple question," Aiden said again. "It could not be that hard to answer, could it be?"

Even though he knew she didn’t forget him willingly, he couldn’t bring himself to ignore that she made another man an important part of her life when it should always be him.

He couldn’t hold a grudge against her. But he was a grudgeful person and he wouldn’t let anyone escape if they ever tried to even think of scooping her away from him.

And Ryan Foster has recently been doing that.

How could he ignore his audacity?

Arwen coughed a bit before clearing her throat. "Of course, it’s not difficult," she said, continuing, "What I meant to say was that you misunderstood it. Ryan is not my ex-boyfriend," she said, pressing a smile on her lips, though that smile clearly seemed forced. "He is my ex-fiancé, to be more exact."

Saying that without whole without stuttering anywhere even for a second, she thought she needed to be applauded. Because given how he was sending her hints of coming destruction, she felt it so hard to focus.

"Ex-fiancé?" Aiden repeated and Arwen hummed, not thinking much. But her senses awakened the moment her gaze caught his jaws ticking slightly.

Wait! Did she say it wrong?

She tried to recall her words from a second ago and her brows drew slightly in confusion. Her words … they shouldn’t have sounded wrong.

Right when she was thinking if her words had hit it wrong, she heard him say.

"Is ex-fiancé sound more intimate than ex-boyfriend?" He said, his voice came laced with a layer of frost that once again made Arwen shiver. Before she could refuse or say anything, she heard him add. "Then I will rephrase my question and ask Mrs. Winslow again if she is scared that her HUSBAND would bully her ex-fiancé?"

Definitely not!

Why would she care about that?

What was this man even thinking?

And no matter whatever he was thinking, did he really have to scare her like that?
