Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528: Being your legal wife, can I ask you why?

Emyr flinched slightly. He didn’t miss the cold warning in Aiden’s tone. But even with it, the hesitation lingered on his expression.

His gaze turned guiltily towards Arwen before he continued, "Ms. Martin seemed to have even tried calling on your phone. But she could not reach you there, so she called me to ask."

Arwen’s gaze narrowed suspiciously at him, noticing that Emyr quickly averted his gaze.

He then stepped forward to hand over the phone to his boss.

Aiden frowned, but anyway took the phone. Pressing it over his ears, he gently spoke through the line. "Selene." Although his voice and tone were gentle, they greatly lacked the warmth that Arwen had grown used to.

Previously, she had never seen Aiden talking to any woman, but she had always thought it would be similar to the way he talked to her, warm and patient, soft and silky.

But only hearing him now did she realize the stark contrast he carries for the whole world.

While his tone was gentle, it still lacked warmth. Though he spoke softly, the silkiness of his voice was greatly missing.

These were very subtle things, but she was able to notice them very easily.

Or, maybe she was just thinking too much ...

"What’s wrong?"

She heard him adding on the call, and she went to sit back on the couch, relaxed.

"Aiden, I have been calling you for a while now. You haven’t been picking up the call," Selene spoke with slight exasperation, but she dulled it before it could be caught. "Is there anything wrong?"

"I have been busy," Aiden simply responded without giving any details. "Was there anything important?"

No response came for a good time, and the stretch only made Aiden’s frown deepen.

"Selene?" he prompted again. "Is —"

"I just wanted to ask if you arranged the designer, you mentioned the last time," Selene finally said, her voice tight. "My event is the day after tomorrow. I need to choose and decide on a design before that."

Aiden’s gaze flicked to Emyr; his eyes sharp.

"For that," he said coldly into the phone, "you didn’t need to call me. I have already told Emyr to handle it. If there is anything else, contact him directly."

Emyr stiffened in front of him. A chill ran down his spine, but he didn’t dare ask what he had done wrong.

"Oh, I see," Selene’s voice now carried a clear edge of irritation. "Fine. I will contact him next time. As of now, I need to be somewhere else. I will hang up first."

Aiden didn’t bother responding. He hummed faintly and ended the call.

Handing the phone back to Emyr, he said calmly, "If you are getting rusty, find someone who can replace you."

Emyr swallowed hard, not understanding what that meant. "Sir, did I ... do something wrong?" he asked tentatively.
