Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 86

Jason felt Emyr’s tension and stood up at his request. "What are you guys up to? I am getting all suspicious now. You better explain to me well later, or else —" He was mid-sentence when a familiar voice cut in, freezing them both —one with surprise, the other one with dread.

"Dr. Clark?"

Jason recognized that voice all too well —to the point where, instead of turning to check who had arrived, he turned to Aiden, gazing at him in disbelief. "Aiden, you couldn’t have…"

But Aiden simply shrugged, confirming all of Jason’s complicated suspicions with one simple gesture. His gaze showed no sympathy, not even in the slightest.

Jason couldn’t believe it. He knew his friend could be cruel and heartless at times, but he never imagined this would be one of those moments. How could he?

On the other hand, Arwen didn’t know what she should conclude with all this. She had just returned home when she saw her attending doctor frowning at Emyr. Not only did Jason’s presence surprise her, but the casual air around him did too. It was as if this wasn’t his first time here, nor was it their first conversation.

Then, could it be that they had known each other for a long time?

Could it be that Aiden and Dr. Clark were long-time acquaintances?

Her gaze shifted between Emyr and Aiden, trying to decipher Emyr’s guilty expression. He looked like someone caught red-handed. But what was he hiding?

Her eyes darted toward Aiden. Yet, he sat there so casually, as if he had nothing to hide at all. Why was he so at ease when the other two were clearly rattled?

Aiden leaned slightly to the side and asked casually, "You are back?" He sounded like a househusband who had been waiting for all this while for his wife to arrive.

When Arwen heard him speak that way, she couldn’t help but smile. The suspicion still lingered, but she decided to tend to her husband first.

Walking in, she nodded. "Hhm-hm … Did I keep you waiting long?"

Aiden closed the file in his hand and shook his head, "You didn’t. I just got back," he replied.

And Emyr was not even surprised anymore. He was becoming accustomed to seeing this starkly different side of his boss around the lady. But what truly satisfied him was Dr. Clark’s changing expression —finally, someone shared his bewilderment.

Jason was dumbfounded. Although he had known about his friend’s longing-standing feelings for a certain girl, nothing had prepared him to see this side of Aiden. Was this the same man who had always spoken as though each syllable cost thousands? Now, around Arwen, he was making casual small talk as if it was the most natural thing in the world. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Jason turned to look at Emyr, who was grinning at him. And that’s when he reaized this ’new’ wasn’t actually new. Aiden had been like this since ever. It was just that he didn’t know. Or maybe, he never got the chance to know until today.

"You were working?" Arwen asked, her gaze settling on the file and laptop in front of Aiden.
