Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 69

Arwen returned to her room with a smile. But her expression changed when she noticed her phone ringing on the dresser. She had left it behind and wasn’t sure how long it had been ringing for.

Frowning slightly, she picked it up and saw Daniel’s name flashing on the screen.

After everything that had happened between them, she hesitated for a moment. Should she answer the call? Or just ignore it? But then, considering their years of friendship; she accepted the call.

"Daniel!" she greeted as she answered.

"Arwen, finally! I was starting to think you wouldn’t pick up." Daniel’s voice carried a note of relief, which brought a smile to her face. Truthfully, she had considered ignoring the call, but in the end, she decided otherwise.

"Well, if you are feeling that way, maybe you should call again, and we will see if you were right," she teased lightly.

Daniel quickly dismissed the idea. "No way, not doing that again." After a brief pause, he added, hesitating, "Arwen, I know things have been weird, especially after last time, but… can we meet?"

"If this is about Ryan," Arwen began, her tone growing more serious, "Then I don’t think—"

"No, Arwen. This isn’t about him," Daniel quickly said interjecting, his tone softening towards the end. "There are just a few things I need to say to you, but I would rather do it in person."

Arwen paused, considering his words. It wasn’t like meeting Daniel was an issue, but the tension from the last time still lingered. She felt really disappointed in him when he didn’t return her call when she had asked him but had called her to the hospital when he thought Ryan needed an explanation.

Sensing her hesitation, Daniel spoke again, "I understand if you are hesitant, Arwen. But I still consider you my friend and I don’t want to be misunderstood because of what happened last time."

"Alright, Daniel. Let’s meet then," Arwen agreed, knowing well that she couldn’t always ignore him, given their long friendship. And he was right —she couldn’t place all the blame on him for one incident.

Daniel sounded relieved on the other end of the call. "Great. Then let’s meet at seven in the evening. I will text you the place, somewhere close to your place."

Arwen didn’t say much and simply hummed before the call disconnected. Checking the clock, she noticed there were still a few hours left. So, she decided to finish some pending work that had been left unattended because of several reasons.

When the clock neared seven, she closed her laptop, made a quick call and said, "I have gone through the files. You can move forward with the next steps." After hanging up, she got up to get ready.

As she stepped out of her room, dressed and prepared, Aiden walked in unexpectedly. Arwen raised her brows in surprise. "You are early today?" she asked casually.
