Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 417

Silence hung between them, thick and suffocating. Catrin's hands trembled as she struggled to process his words, but Idris remained unwavering.

It was like even though he had asked her just now, he had long decided about it. He was just relaying his intention to her now.

When Catrin thought he had been thinking all these days, she couldn't help but feel betrayed.

She had never thought that one such day as today would come when she

Scoffing with clear disappointment, she glared sharply at Idris. "Divorce!" she repeated. "You want to divorce me, Idris? Really? Do you think I will accept it just because you say so?"

"..." Idris didn't respond. As he had said, he had given her the choice to make. He wouldn't intervene.

"Idris, marriage is not something easy. We have come along all this way and now you are proposing a divorce, what are you even thinking?" Catrin was never to beg. But at this moment, she was no longer thinking of anything. What stood as a priority was her marriage —one that she never deemed rightful from the beginning, but had come to accept over time.

Now that she had accepted, there was no way she was going to accept anything else.

On the other hand, when Idris heard her mention the marriage as something so sacred, he could hold back a humorless chuckle.

His chuckle like that stunned Catrin for a second, as she stared at him in quiet confusion.

Idris glanced at her before asking in a surprised tone. "So, you know that marriage is not something easy? That it holds a value that couldn't be belittled?" _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Catrin didn't understand what he meant. She furrowed her brows in deep puzzlement before asking, "What are you intending to say, Idris? I never undervalued you. I always respected you as my husband, didn't I?"

Without even thinking for a second longer, Idris shook his head. "You didn't respect me as your husband, Catrin," he said, continuing. "You respected me as your business partner. And right now, I am not even thinking about whether you respected me or not. What I am thinking is that you sound like you are someone who respects and values marriage."

"Of course, I respect and value marriage. If not —"

Before she could finish, Idris interjected in a really cold tone.

"If you really, then how come you don't respect Arwen's marriage? You value the marriage that you never respected, but devalue the one that Arwen seems to be respecting from the very beginning. Do you really value it, Catrin?"

Catrin frowned. Her fingers clenched as fought hard to keep her calm, but still, in the end, she couldn't hold herself back. "That's because I know Arwen's marriage is wrong."

"Her marriage is not wrong."

Idris snapped, smacking his hand on the desk. It made Catrin flinch. She had never seen Idris lose his control like that before. It made her shiver.

"If that marriage was Arwen's choice, it's not wrong. Did I not make this clear last time!"

Catrin wanted to argue, but given that Idris's behaviour was already scaring her, she thought it was not the right time to argue.

In the end, she simply said, "Idris, our perceptions vary there. I just want to tell you that there is no way I am agreeing to divorce."

Idris seemed to have expected it. So, when he heard her say that, he simply nodded. "Then that's decided, we will pretend in front of everyone to stay together, until one of us is dead one day."
