Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 514

Arwen hugged Aiden, moving her hands to slowly caress his back to comfort him.

When she felt his tensed muscles ease up, she pulled away to look back at his face. Through the stream of moonlight, she could see his face, but his expression was not very clear.

"Are you feeling better?" she asked, truly concerned.

Whenever she would wake up from a nightmare, he would coax her back to sleep.

But today, when their situation seemed to have switched, she was quite not sure if she was doing it right.

She hasn't done this before … for anyone. And she wasn't quite good at comforting anyone.

But for him … she wanted to be perfect.

Just the way he was for her.

Letting the pad of her thumb gently caress his cheek, she waited for him to respond.

And Aiden didn't take long. Giving a small smile, he nodded with a hum.

"Good, then," Arwen said, visibly relieved. "Otherwise, I didn't know how to make you feel better."

She had purposely said it dramatically, thinking he would laugh or chuckle a little. But when he didn't, she was at a loss …

Blaming it on the nightmare he had, she didn't mind.

Pressing her hands against his chest, she slowly helped him onto the bed. His eyes widened briefly, but soon he realised what she was doing … and he didn't interrupt.

Letting her press him on his back, he kept his gaze on her.

"It's late," she spoke softly as if explaining to him her intention. "Your nightmare has already ruined your sleep. Let me help you, okay?"

With that, she adjusted herself back in his arms. Putting her face on his chest, right over his heart, she wrapped an arm around him, slowly and gently moving it to pat on his chest.

His heartbeats were clear to her ears, and she could tell, and from the beats she could tell he was still thinking about something.

However, even knowing it, she didn't push him to talk about it.

If he had been comfortable sharing, he would have explained her in detail. But since he didn't, she wouldn't force him and make it uncomfortable for him.

Patting him like that for a while, she finally heard his heartbeat getting even.

When she looked up to check, his eyes were already closed.

He had fallen asleep.

Relieved, Arwen smiled.

Supporting herself on her elbow, she leaned in carefully and pressed a soft kiss on his forehead.

"Have sweet dreams, husband," she whispered.

Then, no longer lying directly on his chest, she pulled a cushion under his arm and rested her head on it, wrapping her arm once more around his torso.

It was past midnight when Ryan finally exited his office.

She tried to explain. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
