Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 544

The pause settled over the call, and for a long moment, Beca didn't respond.

However, just when Arwen would have thought that her voice wasn't going quite well through the line, she heard Beca finally speak through the line.

"Everything is fine, Arwen. It's just that Aunt Beca has started missing you recently. Will you not come and meet me?"

Arwen paused at her words, but soon a smile lifted her expression. "Of course, Aunt Beca." She then turned again to check the time on her watch and said, "It's just today, I don't think I will be able to manage. It's already late, and I haven't given Aiden any heads up about my plans either. He might already be waiting for me at home."

"Oh, that's completely understandable," Beca said, almost immediately. "As I said, it doesn't necessarily have to be today. Let me know when you are free. I will book a good place somewhere out for us. This way it wouldn't be very awkward for you either."

Although Arwen hadn't explicitly said it, Beca was wise enough to guess her thoughts. After all, what Ryan did the last time, it had embarrassed her.

It was only right for Arwen to hesitate.

"Sure, Aunt Beca," Arwen smiled, nodding despite the knew that Beca could see her. "I will let you know."

Beca hummed in response.

And with that, they hung up the call.

Putting her phone back in her purse, Arwen glanced at Mia. "You heard that, right?" she asked, and when the secretary nodded, she continued, "Then, help me arrange it. Book me a spot in a restaurant and make sure to check in with Aunt Beca's preferences."

"I will do that, ma'am. Don't worry," Mia said, adding it to her notes.

Arwen smiled. Pushing the chair back, she stood up and picked up her bag. "With that said, I am good to go. See you tomorrow, Mia."

Waving, she left.

Mia watched her leave and followed her out of the office at the same time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after hanging up the call, Bea's expression turned solemn.

Although she said Arwen, there was no haste; in reality, she wanted to meet her as soon as possible.

Not just because it's been a while and she had started missing her, but because —

Her gaze darted down to the brown leather diary in her hand. She shouldn't have gotten her hands on it, but now that she had it in her hand, she wanted to clear a few things out with Arwen.

Her eyes turned deep as her hands moved to flip it open again. But just when she would have done that, a voice from behind halted her in her tracks.

"Mom!"

Ryan's voice came, carrying a tone of surprise.
