Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 503

Selene's expression faltered —just for a second. The smile on her face froze, then cracked ever so lightly.

But Morgan kept his expression calm and at ease, as if he didn't mean what it sounded like.

He continued gently, "Aiden doesn't always know how to treat people the best. Seeing you disappointed would hurt both me and your grandfather. But even then, there wouldn't be much we could do. You know he doesn't quite listen to any of us."

"But he used to listen to me," Selene blurted, no longer able to hold it in. The mask she had worn for so long slipped, and for the first time, the desperation behind her eyes showed clearly. "He might not have treated others the best, but he has always treated me differently."

Morgan arched a brow at her raised tone.

His gaze like that made Slene realize it almost immediately. She caught herself, swallowing hard before trying again —softer once more, wounded instead of angry. "Grandpa Winslow, I am sorry. I didn't mean to speak like that. It was just that I felt bad for Aiden. He isn't as cold-hearted as you think."

She tried her best to give an acceptable reason for her outburst, but little did she know that the man who stood in front of her was someone who had long seen her intentions.

Keeping a kind smile, Morgan shook his head in understanding. Then, gesturing towards the door, he said, "Don't get delayed. You had an appointment to attend. Go ahead. William will see you out."

His gaze then darted to look at William, giving him a cue.

William nodded before escorting Selene out. "Ms. Martin, please."

Selene could only smile and leave.

Seeing her car drive out of the premises, William returned, his expression as serious as it could be.

"Sir, Ms. Martin seemed to harbour unrealistic feelings towards Young Master. Do you think we should do something?"

Morgan's gaze remained clear. Sitting nonchalantly, he shook his head, "We did what we could. Now, if she is not ready to accept it, there is nothing that we could do to save her."

William didn't understand. His brows tugged together in confusion. Not holding in, he spoke out to ask. "Save her? Sir, are you referring to Ms. Martin?"

He was concerned for the new couple who finally got together after going through a rocky path. Selene was never his concern.

However, Morgan nodded, asking as if he couldn't understand him. "Who else should I be worried about?" Taking the support of his cane, he stood up. "She is the precious granddaughter of my Old Martin. It's only right if I get worried for her."

He then gave a kind smile, turned to leave.

Williams followed him. But the furrow between his brows remained. "Sir, shouldn't we be worried for the young mistress of the family. If not helped, she might misunderstand."

Morgan didn't seem to be worried at all about that. "There is no need for us to step in and do things for them," he said, his voice laced with confidence. "We can help them today, Williams, but not always. They have to learn to face things like this. If they don't, sooner or later, they will separate."

"Only the trees who has faced the storms and have sustained. So, let them face it together. If they fall apart, they will get together again. Because two people who are meant to be together will never separate. And the ones who are not meant to be together will grow apart no matter how we force them to stay together."
