Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 510

Arwen looked into his desperate gaze.

"Maybe I am," she said, her voice as soft as a whisper. "Maybe I have fallen in love with you—deeper than you can imagine. Or maybe … I have just started falling."

Aiden searched her gaze, trying to understand what she meant.

"I don't know yet, Aiden. I can't explain it properly," she said, her voice trembling with honesty. "I never felt anything like this for anyone before. There are moments when my heart screams what it feels for you. It screams how deeply you have gotten inside me."

She paused, her brows pulling together, struggling to find the right words.

"But then … it feels too soon. Too soon to be called something as strong as love." She looked down, a shaky breath escaping her lips. "Aiden, I don't believe in love at first sight. And I don't believe a deep emotion like love can happen this quickly."

There was silence between them. Not uncomfortable —but heavy and thoughtful. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

"I don't want to say I love you and not mean it the way it should be meant. I respect you far too much for that," she added, her voice barely above a whisper. "But what I feel for you … it's real." She reached out to hold his hand and let her fingers brush against his ring. "When I gave you this, I meant it. My thoughts and intentions were real. It might be growing … but it's real."

"I know it might be frustrating for you, but —"

Before she could finish, Aiden pressed a finger gently against her lips, silencing her.

"Shh … I understand," he said, his voice steady and comforting, grounding her nervous heart.

She blinked up at him, unsure, but he only smiled.

Her words overwhelmed him —not with disappointment, but with quiet awe. Although he wanted her to accept the love between them, he also understood where she was coming from.

Love was a process —dynamic and evolving.

While his evolved years after year, hers resumed only after they met again. So, he couldn't blame her. He could only understand her.

"You do?" she asked, her voice small.

Aiden nodded. "Yes, I do." He reached up, brushing her hair behind her ear with all the gentleness in the words. "I am already content that you have feelings for me deepening in your heart. I can wait for it to deepen to the fullest. Even if it takes forever, I will."

Tears shimmered in her eyes, but it wasn't out of sadness.

She stared at him for a moment before chuckling out to snap out of the heaviness of the moment. Brushing away the tear that was yet to roll down, she said, "It won't take forever. The things between us never take that long. So, don't worry, I will not make you wait forever."

He smiled and nodded. "I believe whatever you say."

"Just like that?"

Humming, Aiden nodded once again, "Just like that."

They both smiled at each other and she rose on her tip-toes pressing her lips against his cheeks, soft and gentle. "I am falling for you, husband. Faster and harder than you can realize."

They completed dinner soon after, chatting casually about little things here and there.
