Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 499

It wasn't a love confession, yet it felt like one —every word soaked in meaning, in promise.

She hadn't said 'I love you.'

But the promise of the lifetime that she made was enough to outshine everything she didn't say.

Aiden's breath hitched the moment he heard her.

Yes, he had said before that he didn't need a ring to feel secure —that as long as she stayed by his side, it was enough.

But that never meant he didn't crave it.

He did. Deeply. Quietly. Always.

He had simply learned not to expect too much.

Because loving her meant accepting the reality she was thrust into —a reality where she had forgotten their past, the memories they once shared, the bond that once had been unbreakable.

Expecting anything from her when she remembered nothing of what they had once been … would have been selfish.

Her fingers curled into his shirt as she leaned into him, responding with just as much unspoken feeling.

When they finally pulled apart, Aiden rested his forehead against hers, his voice low and raw.

"Thank you, Moon," he said.

There was something in his tone that she couldn't decipher —something soft, vulnerable, aching —but she didn't ask. She couldn't, for it would have broken the moment they were sharing.

So, she said nothing.

She just let herself exist in the space they shared.

"This was meant to be a surprise for you," she said softly. "But it flopped terribly yesterday. I wanted to make the moment perfect, but —"
