Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375: She felt betrayed.

While Beca sat in the private room in the restaurant, her expression was hard to read. Although her features still carried the elegance that was instilled in her bones, her gaze held a cold glint that quite didn't match her usual personality.

Zenith long left. And the waitress had even cleaned the table after the meal was finished.

However, since Beca still had no plans to leave, no one dared to disturb her presence. Leaving her alone in the room, they left.

Beca sat inside quietly. She neither spoke nor moved for quite a while. Only when she heard her phone ring did she shift her gaze that was staring at a space with some kind of intent shifted.

She glanced at her phone only to find Gareth calling her. She stared at his name before taking a deep breath to calm herself down,

Although on the surface she looked all calm and composed, she knew Gareth would be able to see through her. And right now, Gareth had gone out to discuss some business from which she didn't want him to be deflected.

Hence, taking a breath of ease, she picked up the call. "Gareth," she called his name, continuing. "Did you complete your discussion?"

"Yes, I did," he replied, his voice coming relaxed, which meant the discussion went well. "I will be returning now. Where are you? At home?"

"No, I came out for something," Beca answered before asking, "Why? What happened? Do you need me for something?"

"Oh, it's fine if you are busy. I can manage it on my own. I will later have to visit the family house. They had some marriage arrangements to discuss. So, earlier they called to ask us there."

Gareth didn't want to make it difficult for Beca. He knew if he asked her, she would agree to come along. But recently, given she wasn't in a perfect state of health, he didn't want to force her out when he could handle it alone.

"Are you sure you will be fine alone?" Beca asked, her tone laced with true concern.

The man hummed from the other end of the call. "We can't avoid them forever, Beca. Sooner or later, we have to face them and explain," he said, and Beca could hear a soft sigh of disappointment laced in his words. "It's fine. I will manage it, don't worry."

Beca felt bad. If Ryan hadn't been their son, she would have blamed him for all of this.

However, since he was their own blood, blaming him would be blaming themselves —which would be useless.

Hence, in the end, she didn't say anything and simply hummed.

"Fine, then you go first. If later, it's possible, I will also come there."

"You don't have to, Beca —"

"Gareth," Beca interjected before her husband could reject her. "Ryan is our son. You don't have to take his responsibility alone. So, don't stop me."

In the end, Gareth didn't refuse her anymore. Humming, he said, "Okay then, I will wait for you."
