Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 71

Daniel’s eyes trailed down at the shining ruby in Arwen’s finger. "You know that day at the hospital, Ryan rushed down for you. But he was a little late. You were gone already. If not, you might have seen his worry-stricken face. He was really worried for you," he said, and Arwen followed his gaze to her finger.

Her brows furrowed. Wearing this pretty Foster heirloom had become a habit, but how did she forget that she no longer holds the position to wear it? It was meant for the daughter-in-law of the Foster family —Ryan’s wife.

Arwen’s eyes dimmed as she reached to remove the ring from her finger. "We have been over for a long time. I just never fully realized it until I pieced together the entire story myself," she said, looking up at Daniel. "I don’t doubt your words. Ryan may have rushed you to help me, but he was too late. Not just that day, but in every possible situation, whether in the past or the future.

Because I am gone —I have moved on."

"Arwen —"

"Daniel, I didn’t get the chance to tell you this before; but I am already married." Arwen cut him off firmly. "Next time, I will plan something so my friends can meet my husband." When she had told Aiden that she had no intention of hiding their relationship, she had meant it.

Daniel was stunned for a moment. His expression shifted through various emotions in just a few seconds, and even he wasn’t sure what he was feeling. "You are married?" he asked, still in disbelief.

Arwen smiled and nodded. "Yes, I signed the certificates signed on the 29th," she said, and Daniel’s brows furrowed deeper.

"On the 29th? But weren’t you supposed to sign the certificates with Ryan that day?" Then something clicked for Daniel, and he asked, "Arwen, did Delyth tell you something? Don’t believe her. Nothing happened between Ryan and her. She is just bluffing. I asked Ryan, and he said that he had no idea of how he ended up with her that night."

"So, you knew," Arwen said, unsurprised. She had already suspected as much. Daniel was about to explain, but before he could, Arwen shook her head, stopping him. "It doesn’t matter anymore, Daniel. I don’t care about Ryan and Delyth’s relationship. Whatever they have between them is their business.

I never had a right to comment on it, even when I supposedly Ryan’s fiancée. Now that I am no longer involved, even thinking about it feels like a waste of time."

Daniel wasn’t sure what to say. He agreed with Arwen’s words, though his friendship with Ryan still weighed heavily on him. Still, he had to admit that Arwen was better off with someone who truly valued her than with Ryan.

Nodding, Daniel asked with a soft smile, "How is your husband, then? Is he treating you well?"

At the mention of Aiden, Arwen’s lips curled into a warm smile, reflecting the happiness she felt inside. "Better than anyone ever has. He came into my life as a surprise, and I realised that it’s been the best surprise I ever received. He is too good. You probably must have seen him?"
