Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 78

"Arwen, you—"

Cutting off Delyth’s arrogant talk tirade, Arwen spoke, "Ms Ember, if you called me this early in the morning just to remind me of my name, let me assure you, I have been using it longer than you and had it memorized by the time I was two." "You —"

"What did you call for, Delyth? Get to the point, no dawdling." Arwen didn’t want to start her morning in a foul mood, especially after the peaceful and fulfilling night she had just had. She just wanted to savour the lingering warmth of those memories, but Delyth’s pompous attitude wasn’t helping her. So, she just wanted to get her done as soon as possible.

"Fine, I will be on point, Arwen," Delyth said sharply. "Let’s meet. I have something to talk about."

Arwen raised an eyebrow, almost tempted to ask what gave Delyth the confidence to make such a request in that tone. But then she didn’t want to waste more time than necessary.

So, instead of dwindling, she simply rejected. "I don’t have anything to discuss with you." Her tone came more curt than it would have pleased Delyth, but Arwen didn’t mind. Delyth asked for it. "Now that you have got your answer, don’t call again to disturb me," she added before hanging up, without giving Delyth another chance to speak.

Arwen was totally uninterested in finding out Delyth’s exact agenda. She assumed it was either related to the lawsuit she had filed against her, or something about Ryan. Whatever it was, Arwen had no interest in engaging with Delyth. Not because she saw her as an enemy, but simply because it wasn’t worth the bother.

"Who was it?" Aiden asked as he emerged from the bathroom, his bathrobe loosely tied, giving a perfect glimpse of his muscular chest.

Arwen’s eyes lingered a moment too long, her breath catching at the sight. Realizing her wandering gaze, she quickly averted her eyes and answered, "O-oh, it was Delyth. She was just trying to stir up trouble, asking to meet me."

Aiden nodded in understanding before asking, "So, what are you going to do?"

"What is there to do? I already turned her down," she said with a shrug. "Meeting her would only give her another chance to cause trouble. Why bother?"

Aiden smirked. "Trouble is only bothersome if you can’t handle it. If you can, it becomes fun."

Arwen stared at him with furrowed brows, trying to decipher the meaning behind his words. They were simple, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hinting at something more mischievous.

"Are you saying I should cause trouble for others and enjoy it?" she asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice. The very idea seemed devious, making people frown and hate her. He couldn’t be serious about it.

Aiden’s smirk deepened, and he nodded as if it were the most obvious thing. "You are a Winslow now. Stirring things up will keep you from getting bored and others more informed about you. They should know you are off-limits."

Arwen blinked, not yet believing him. Her mother had always warned her to avoid trouble and things like this, as it could harm both her and her family’s reputation. But Aiden’s perspective was so different that it almost made her reconsider.
