Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 32

The butler nodded. "Yes, Ms. Quinn had visited earlier to meet Madam. But she didn’t stay for long."

Ryan’s jaws clenched. He knew it was her. "Mr. James, you can go back to your duties. I will go and meet my mother myself." Saying that, he left the butler behind and walked into the living hall before heading straight to the dining area.

Beca was sitting at the table as the butler had said, but just one look and Ryan could tell she wasn’t waiting for the dinner –she was waiting for him.

"Mom." Ryan greeted.

But instead of returning his greeting, Beca asked bluntly, "Is Delyth back in the country."

Ryan didn’t respond, and Beca knew the answer already. "So, she has," she muttered, audibly enough for her son to hear.

"This has got nothing to do with Delyth, Mom. Please don’t involve her. She is innocent." Ryan defended, and that was enough to make Beca lose her temper that she was finding hard to contain within.

Slapping her hand hard on the table, she got up, enraged, "Really? Is that so? If not her, then tell me –what else is the reason, Ryan? Why didn’t you and Arwen get the marriage certificate today?"

"An important meeting got scheduled at the last minute. I couldn’t avoid it," Ryan said, avoiding his mother’s gaze. "And I already told Arwen about it. Did she come to complain to you?"

"Complain to me?" Beca couldn’t help but give a sarcastic chuckle at that. "Is that what you think of her, Ryan?"

"Isn’t that obvious?"

"What’s obvious is your ignorance," Beca retorted, clearly fed up with trying to advise her son. "If Arwen really wanted to complain to me, I would have been hearing about it every single day. After all, each and every one of your behaviors has been worth complaining about."

"Mom, I already asked Mr. James, He said Arwen had come to meet you." Ryan was struggling to reason with his mother, but the more Beca listened, the more frustrated she became.

"Yes, she did come. I never said that she didn’t. But she wasn’t here to make any complaints. Arwen came to let me know how rightfully she has broken up with you. And I am glad she did." Beca might be upset that Arwen wouldn’t be her daughter-in-law anymore, but seeing her son’s attitude, she realized that Arwen has made a right decision.

Ryan was taken aback. He had received Arwen’s text about the breakup, but he hadn’t accepted it. How dare she come here to tell his mother? Was this her new way of manipulating him? _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
