Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601: The picture.

His action was so meteoric that she didn’t get the time to react. She only got the time and chance to register it when he finally pulled away.

She was left breathless, chasing for oxygen.

"You —"

"I saved your effort," he said, carrying all the righteousness in his tone. "I took the bribe, and now that I have received it, I can wait at home for a few hours, until you return."

He repeated her exact words, leaving her dumbfoundedly speechless. She wanted to chide him, but how could she?

Wasn’t she the one to put the bribe to be legit just yesterday?

She opened her mouth to speak something, but then closed it, not finding the right words to condemn him. In the end, she just stood up and turned to look at him. "You are too crafty?"

He raised his brow, and she narrowed her gaze at him.

"I will definitely get back at you for this."

And with that, she turned and stomped her way out. She paused at the door and turned to look back at him, only to find him watching her.

"You took the bribe already, so make you abide by the rules. Have your meals on time and then rest. Don’t work the whole time I am out," she said, and then left.

Aiden watched her and then shook his head. A small chuckle escaped his lips.

But his expression shifted when his gaze dropped to the diary that was kept on the side. He had long learned to control his urges, yet seeing it right in front of his eyes, he felt his control snapping.

What could be so interesting in it that she sat in the middle of the night to read it?

His hands subconsciously reached out, brushing over the leathered texture of the cover.

But just when he would have pulled it, he held himself back. His brows furrowed in a frown, and he pulled his hand away, restraining himself once again.

"You can’t break your word to her," he muttered to himself before focusing back on the document file he had been studying before.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Arwen had already left home in the car.

She had given the address to Alfred, and he was driving the way there while she sat back, pondering over several things.

Although she was much clearer about things than before, she was still confused about many things.

Like, the memory loss.

If she suffered an amnesia, it should be mentioned in her medical reports. But she had read her files, not even in one had she seen it written. And that was something that was confusing her more and more.

Even when she felt she was missing some of her memories, everyone around her made her believe that it was normal for kids to forget a thing here and there.

Why did everyone make her believe that everything was fine? That she was fine and nothing was wrong happened to her?

It doesn’t make sense.

Especially, her Granna. She always made it look so simple that she couldn’t bring herself to doubt anything.

Before anyone could shake his head, Harris found the clue and stepped out to turn and face the rest five. "Who dared to betray?" he asked before threatening in a mock manner. "Tell me, or else if I find out on my own, I will ruin their space enough to regret it."

"Really?" Alice’s voice came from a distance, and everyone turned to look at her. "Do you dare to do that with me?" she challenged before walking closer.

"You —" Harris pointed a finger out at her. "Traitor!"

But she simply shrugged, walking to Arwen’s side. "Yes, I didn’t inform you all that Queen Sister was coming. So what? She is not here for any of you. She came here for me, and I am taking her away."

And with that, she didn’t wait and hooked her arms with Arwen before guiding her inside with her.

The six were about to refuse, but Arwen turned and smiled at them.

"Don’t worry. I have enough time today. Once I complete the thing I am here for, I will come and meet you guys. Be good and complete your work until then. I have ordered all of your favourite dishes. The delivery will be coming soon."

Then she entered Alice’s glass cabin, leaving the six out.

"Alice, the picture?"

Alice nodded to her and then walked to her desk before opening the drawer to pull out the envelope.

Arwen walked after her before pulling the chair across her to sit down. Taking the envelope in her hand, she took a deep breath.

She would finally know ...
