Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 531

Arwen paused and looked down at the box of chocolates in her hand. Then, turning to him, she nodded.

"Yes, I haven't had one today. This morning, I was in a rush, so I left without taking any, and then I was out the entire day."

"But it's already night," Aiden said, his brows furrowing. "You can't have chocolates this late. It's not good for you."

She simply shook her head and took out one. "Nothing will happen from having it once in a while at night."

Unwrapping it, she popped it into her mouth and savored its rich flavor. Then, glancing back at him, she continued, "I had one tonight, but tomorrow I will remember to eat it earlier. So, it won't become a bad habit."

Aiden glanced at the box, then looked back at her with faint amusement. "These are chocolates, yet you treat them like medicine."

"They are not medicine," she said, clearly offended. "Have you tasted them? The flavor is just so perfect. You can't compare to the bitter medicine."

He chuckled softly. "You are right. Medicine doesn't make your eyes sparkle like that."

Arwen pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. "Bitterness is not a delight, sweetness is. So, of course."

She didn't hesitate to accept, and Aiden couldn't help but shake his head at her.

"On a serious note," he began again, "even in the rare cases, avoid having them at night."

She nodded in understanding. But then defended, "I understand, but you cannot blame me for it. These chocolates have become a habit for me. I always have one every day. Not having one makes me feel something is missing in my day."

Aiden paused at that. "You are having it every day?"

"Mhm-hn~" Arwen hummed but then chuckled, "But don't worry, it's not an addiction. Just a habit that has become part of my life for almost a decade now. Partly because the grandmother never missed sending them to me. And there was always one rule —not having more than one in a day."

While she had a smile playing over her lips, Aiden's brows were knitted in some suspicion.

He wasn't saying anything, but he was listening to it all.

"Oh yes," Arwen suddenly remembered something and turned to him to ask, "Didn't I give you two when you were leaving for New York. Did you not have them?"

Aiden shook his head. "I didn't," he said, "I thought since you gave it from your treasure box, it was precious. I saved it."

"What a loss!" Arwen clicked her tongue as if she were disappointed. Although I don't share my chocolates, I am not stingy. Since I shared with you once, I wouldn't mind sharing it again. You didn't actually have to save it."

He nodded in understanding. "Fine. I will have them tomorrow, then," he said, and took the box from her hand. "For now, you should go and brush your teeth. You can't sleep without that."

"I have brushed once already. I am not going to do it again. And I said, once in a while doesn't matter."

However, Aiden didn't budge. Shaking his head, he said seriously, "You might have brushed, but then you had chocolate. So, you need to brush. You won't sleep without brushing, Moon."

She wanted to argue, but she knew if he got stubborn about something, no argument would make her win.

Hence, she decided to get down with it.
