Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 473

Arwen had thought about asking Aiden about it.

She wasn't suspicious —rather, she brought it up casually, like just another topic of conversation.

But she didn't notice the way Aiden's expression shifted.

The darkness inside the car worked to his advantage, hiding the subtle tension that flickered across his face.

"I was out for something," he said simply, not explaining it further.

Arwen also didn't mind. She simply nodded and let out a soft "Oh".

Not long after, they reached home.

Stepping out of the car, Arwen looked back at Aiden, waiting for him to walk with her.

However, Aiden gestured for her to go ahead.

"I need to make a call. You go inside and rest first."

"Come soon," she said with a small nod, wrapping her arms around herself as she glanced at the chilly night. "It's cold outside. Don't stay out too long."

With that, she turned and walked toward the house.

Aiden stayed where he was, watching her until she disappeared into the distance. Then he pulled out his phone and dialled Emyr's number.

As the call connected, his gaze darkened, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes. "Let Bryn know who he tried messing with," he said, his voice cold and low.

That was all.

Hanging up the call, he slipped the phone back into his pocket and headed inside.

He didn't like lying to his wife.

But if someone forced him into it —like today —then they would have to bear the consequences.

Meanwhile, inside the house—

Returning home, Arwen headed straight to her room.

After getting freshened up, he stepped out to find Aiden already waiting for her.

"Oh, you are here already?" she asked, slightly surprised. "Good!" she added, gesturing him toward the bathroom. "I have prepared hot water for you. Go and freshen up first."

Offering a small smile, she walked over to the dresser nearby. She was towel drying her hair when Aiden approached her, holding a black velvet box.

"Moon," he called softly.

"Hm?" She turned to look at him, her gaze immediately drawn to the box in his hand. "This is …?"

"For you," he said, opening the box for her to see.

And when her eyes caught sight of it, the lustre and sparkle under the lights took her breath away.

Arwen wasn't usually one for extravagant jewellery —her style was always minimal and elegant.
