Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 225

In the garden, Arwen was taking a stroll with Aiden when she suddenly stopped in her steps. Aiden, who had just taken a step past her halted as well. Turning to look around at her, he raised a brow.

"What happened?" he asked.

Arwen tilted her head to the side and stared at him as if studying his expression. "Are you upset?" she asked.

"Do I look like I am upset?" Aiden asked back but when the confusion on Arwen’s face became palpable, he reached out to cup one side of her face before tracing a thumb gently on her cheek. "Moon, how can I be upset when Granna seemed to be genuinely concerned for you? Rather I felt good when she tested me like that. It meant that she is someone I can depend on when it comes to you."

"But I felt she exaggerated it a bit. But believe me, she was just being playful with you. I can confidently tell you that you impressed her at the very first glance." Arwen had seen in her grandmother’s gaze. Though she was trying to act stern, she was clearly just trying to tease and play.

Aiden didn’t mind at all. He had seen through the old lady’s game at the very first instant. "That wasn’t at all an exaggeration. If it was, then I don’t what you will tell me when our granddaughter brings her boyfriend to meet us. I won’t go easy on him at all."

Arwen was left speechless. Men usually talk like that for their daughters, but hers went straight to think about the grandchildren. Could she even ask the logic? She could, probably, but his answer would again leave her with no words and a flushed face.

"Mr. Winslow, let’s not go that far in future yet," she said, patting his shoulder lightly. "We will see about it later. Shouldn’t we talk more about the present now?" she asked and Aiden’s gaze zeroed at her for a moment while his eyes became intense. A clear question was evident in his gaze.

"We should," he said, nodding. "Then tell me, why did you sever your ties with your parents?"

Arwen paused for a moment, hesitation to say it all was very evident on her face. She turned to look away but the moment she did, Aiden turned her face back to him.

"Tell me," he probed.

And reluctant, Arwen snapped, angry at herself for having such a messed up situation in her life. "How is that even important? Don’t tell me even for you it’s the name of the Quinns that’s important?"
