Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 30

Arwen knew Aiden’s eyes were captivating, but she never imagined she would so easily get lost in them. The way it stares at her, so deeply, it feels as if he was eagerly waiting to swallow her whole.

Thankfully, before she could have become completely entranced with no way to escape, Emyr’s voice pulled her out of her daze. She immediately shifted in her seat and composed herself.

"Ah, you can take me towards the Tulip Society on the East Street," Arwen said quickly, making Emyr nod at her request. She then turned to Aiden to explain. "I still need to return to my friend’s place for today. How about I pack my things and come to you tomorrow."

Aiden didn’t respond immediately. He simply stared at her for a moment, causing Arwen to add, "Okay, I know this might sound like an excuse, but it’s not. I just want to take some time to explain everything that happened today to my friend. Tomorrow, I will —"

"I will come to pick you up."

"Huh?"

"Tomorrow evening, I will come to pick you up." Aiden didn’t need her to explain anything, but when she spoke, he found it hard to resist listening to her.

Arwen blinked in mild surprise but nodded. "I am okay with that. Just give me a call when you arrive," she said, and handed him her phone "Here, please add your number to my contacts."

Aiden looked down at her phone and then at her. Sensing his hesitation, she added, "I am not good with passwords, so I don’t usually keep them unless absolutely necessary." She didn’t support this careless habit, but it was just who she was. She didn’t have much to hide, especially on her phone, so she never cared about putting a password.

Aiden took the phone, but the moment he switched it on, he paused, his brows tugging into a deep frown. Arwen has her gaze on him, so when she saw his reaction, she glanced down at the phone, only to realize she had forgotten to close her chat with Delyth. The obscene picture of the two was now displayed on the screen.

Arwen didn’t know how to react. Talking about her history with Ryan was one thing but—

Before she could overthink it, Aiden calmly closed the chat and moved on to save his contact in her phone. Arwen watched him type the number first before, then add his name. She expected him to input ’Aiden’, but instead, he typed ’Husband’ with a heart before saving it.

"I will call you when I arrive tomorrow," he said as he handed her the phone back.

Arwen looked at him briefly before nodding. She didn’t know if he truly didn’t care about what he saw, or if it was out of respect that he didn’t ask her about something she didn’t want to discuss yet. But whatever it was, she felt relieved.

After a while, they felt the car come to a stop, and when Arwen looked out, she recognized the familiar building. Just then, she heard Emyr announce, "Madam, we have arrived."

Arwen hummed, but realized something and asked, "By the way, this may be a small change, but I have to ask –Mr. Ethan, didn’t you use to address me as ma’am? Why have you started calling me ’madam’ instead?"

Although it was a subtle difference, the way Emyr emphasized it every time made her curious. She could sense there was some tale behind it.
