Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 315

Although Arwen had already agreed to Beca over the call, she had long decided that it would be Aiden’s decision that would prevail. Not because she thought she had done something wrong by giving a word to Beca, but because she didn’t want him to feel wronged.

So, if he refuses the idea, she wouldn’t even care to argue for it.

Aiden glanced at her and gently turned to her, giving her a nod to continue ahead.

Arwen stared at him for a moment before carefully framing her words. She still remembers the last time the mere mention of Ryan left him so jealous. He might have not have made it very obvious, but it was way more than clear in his eyes and the way he acted. That was the first time she knew he was ’possessive’ of her.

People called possessiveness a toxic trait of a relationship, but she didn’t know why when he was possessive of her, she felt good.

"Ryan’s mother," Arwen slowly began. "Aunt Beca called me earlier in the afternoon," she said, pausing briefly just to catch if there was any subtle shift in his expression.

But when she found nothing, she continued, "She said that she had been missing me for a while. I visited them after I got married. They have treated me like a daughter and wanted me to come back to have dinners with them sometimes. They even said to bring you along."

All the while she spoke, her eyes were fixed on his face. She chose to keep it short, but added all that was needed to be added for him to understand the situation.

"What did you say then?" Aiden asked.

"Doesn’t matter," she said, shaking her head. "I might have said anything to her but I can always change it as per your comfort."

"Don’t you care that it might break her heart?" he asked, as if he wanted her to reconsider leaving the decision to him. His words were meant to warn her that she might receive a decision that she might not like.

But Arwen sat unfazed, ready to prove to him how serious she was about what she said. "It will, but breaking her heart wouldn’t make pain me as much as breaking yours will. So, it’s fine if you refuse it. I will do the same."

Aiden paused at her words. She might not realized what she said, but he did. A small smile curled his lips. "We can go," he said and Arwen nodded, almost absent-mindedly.

"Fine, I will later call and refuse her. And —" she suddenly paused, her pupils dilating staring at him. "Wait! Did you just agree?" she asked, needing him to say it again.

He tilted his head to one side and stared at her, amused, "Were you thinking that I would refuse from the very beginning?"

Was she wrong to think that?

Arwen shook her head and replied, "No, I just thought you wouldn’t be comfortable letting me go there."
