Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 348

Ryan’s voice cut through the air, halting Arwen mid-sentence. She paused, but even so, she didn’t turn to look at him. With her back towards him, she stood still, as if, for a moment, he hadn’t heard him call her. Explore more stories with freewebnovel

Beca, who was standing too close to Arwen, noticed the subtle shift in her expression. Though Arwen maintained her calm and composed demeanor, Beca caught the fleeting flicker of coldness in her gaze.

If she had any lingering doubt that her son had lost his chance with Arwen before, this moment erased it completely.

Arwen had moved on. And even if the world turned upside down, she would not spare Ryan a second chance.

Not that Beca complained. If anything, she felt proud. Proud that —Arwen wasn’t the woman the kind of woman to waver once she made up her mind.

When Ryan received no response, he stepped forward, coming to stand just beside her. "I didn’t know you were coming today," he said, his tone casual, as if trying to fill the silence between them. "I just got back to have dinner with my parents."

At that, Arwen finally turned to glance at him. Her gaze was steady —focused —but carried an undeniable indifference.

This wasn’t an expression new to Ryan. In the recent few encounters, all he had received for her was this indifferent gaze. But still … somehow this time, he didn’t expect her to look at him the same. He was looking forward to finding her looking back at him with gentleness and like that, she had mentioned in her diary.

He did something wrong, and he is ready to accept his mistake. But … can she at least give him a chance to make amends with her?

"That’s what children should do for their parents. Good to see you being so thoughtful towards Uncle and Aunt," Arwen spoke, not long after. Her tone was polite but detached, as if she was merely acknowledging a trivial piece of information.

Ryan felt the sting of it.

"I —"

"Arwen, you know the house doesn’t end at the entrance itself," Beca cut her son off smoothly, placing a hand over Arwen’s. "Let’s go inside. I even have to ask them to set the table."

Arwen nodded to her, and they walked in leaving Ryan behind, without any care.

Beca, for one moment, felt bad for her son. But then she knew that what he was suffering currently was what he deserved. So, she didn’t mind, but rather just hoped that he could realize things soon and decide the right course of his life ahead.

Ryan didn’t move for a good time. He stood there, staring at Arwen, walking farther and farther away.

Didn’t she like him before? If she truly did, how can now she be such at ease, leaving him?
