Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 88

"You have something to ask me?" Aiden asked, turning to Arwen, feeling her constant gaze on him.

Arwen stared at him, as though silently confirming to ask the stream of questions bubbling inside her. His demeanour seemed so open and amiable at that moment that Arwen felt that no matter what she asked at that moment, he would answer without hiding anything.

Arwen was tempted, knowing she would get all her answers, but it also scared her. What if his answer turned out to be something that she wouldn’t like?

Could she bear to take the risk?

Maybe someday. But right now, her heart wasn’t ready to face the truth.

Nodding, she replied with a smile, "I have a lot to ask you. But can I not ask you now?" She paused before taking a deep breath and added, "I don’t want to ask them right now, but can you promise me that in future, whenever I come to ask you the questions I have today, you will answer me with the same honesty that you have in your eyes now?

Aiden stared at her for a moment. And just when Arwen thought that her request sounded absurd and he wouldn’t agree to it, he smiled, giving her again exactly what she asked for.

"I promise," he said, without any hesitation, without a second thought. And it was then Arwen realized that she wasn’t expecting any less.

Since when had her confidence grown so much? She had never been this confident —not in her mother, not in her father and not even in herself. Yet today, she was confident in him —to the extent that she didn’t hesitate to ask something next to impossible.

"Did something happen at the hospital today?" Aiden suddenly asked when he found her lost in thought.

And for a moment, Arwen wanted to laugh at his cluelessness. Does this man even know how impossibly handsome he was in her eyes? Every time he made her feel warm and special, he shone a shade brighter. His gestures never seemed fake; instead, there was such modesty in his actions that made him look more charming than anyone else.

Arwen shook her head and moved her fingers over his forehead. "Nothing that would make you frown like this," she said, adding, "I just met Delyth there, and tried out things that you suggested."

Aiden raised his brows. "Things that I suggested?"

Arwen nodded, "Hhm-hm …I tried to play the role of the Devil. I might not have been perfect today, but since I enjoyed it, slowly I am sure practice will make me perfect."

When Aiden didn’t respond, Arwen narrowed her eyes at him before poking his chest with a finger. "Husband, don’t tell me now that you have made me taste the blood, you are hesitating. You asked me to wear the cape of the Devil; now you can’t go around missing an angel."

"You …" Arwen’s face turned crimson. But before she could hide it, Aiden held her chin gently and made her look into his eyes. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
