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

Arwen was just teasing him. She never thought he would be taking it so seriously. But when he said that he would never regret choosing her, warmth throughout her being.

A similar blush crept up cheeks as her face felt warm.

"Great, if you think like that," she spoke softly, "because anyway, you can't change a thing now. I am already your legally wedded wife and I purely have no intention of leaving you."

"Why?" Aiden asked meaningfully, taking his chance —hoping she would simply let her true emotions out.

However, Arwen had her guard up. She would simply go into the flow of her emotions.

To her confession of emotion is not an issue.

She had always been very true to her heart.

So, as long as she would feel it in her heart, she would confess it. But things like this shouldn't be just said out over a call.

There should be some effort put on to make the moment special. And that was what she had in her plans.

Earlier was just a mistake. However, now that she knows, she will take her time and arrange the moment to make it special for both of them.

Hence, when she heard him asking her why, she let her lips curl up slowly as she responded. "Because training a husband is difficult. I can't take the same trouble twice. Since you have the skills to keep me satisfied and happy, I won't give any opportunity to others to snatch you from me."

Aiden couldn't refute her reasons. Especially when it was in a way praising him. But also, she could let go of her so easily.

In the end, with a smirk, he slowly said, "My wife seems to be impressed with my skills."

"Indeed, I am," Arwen admitted without giving much of the to his tone. But soon she realized what she missed …

"Great! Then coming back this husband will let his wife experience her skills again. I won't leave you disappointed."

Arwen paused at his words.

Although nothing wrong seemed to be on the surface, still she felt like something was not right.

Maybe it was his tone.

He sounded like he was talking sultry with her.

And then suddenly, it struck her —his words —those carried a double meaning.

As she recalled his words, her face turned redder and redding. She couldn't help but feel the butterflies in her stomach.

This man —he was talking dirty to her, that too so openly and innocently.

"You —"

Before she could speak any further, Aiden burst into a blooming laughter.

And at the sound of it, Arwen paused. She just wanted to listen to it for a moment.

Aiden's smiles weren't rare. Around her, he always smiled, but even so, every time he did, she would pause to look at him.

She never knew that even his laughter held the same effect. She simply wanted to listen to his flutter, as long as she could.

But then she realized why he was laughing. Regaining her previous composure, she grunted. "You are shameless. Who wants to experience your skills?"

"My skills and services are only reserved for my legally wedded wife. Who else could it be if not you?" Aiden said effortlessly.

And Arwen no longer knew what she should say. "You … you —"

Can this man be any less shameless?

How did she not see this side of his before?

If she had seen it, she might have considered everything all over again.

However, she knew that even after considering, she would have not chosen a single thing differently.

"Shoo! I don't want your services. Give it to the one who wants it," she said, and suddenly the line went silent.

Even Arwen paused. She had only realized what she had said after she had said it. And the very next moment, she regretted it.

She was about to speak and apologize for speaking mindlessly. But just as she was about to, she heard Aiden ask.

"Give it to the one who wants it?" he repeated as if seeking her confirmation. "Are you sure about it?"

The moment he said that, Arwen's expression darkened several shades. She saw red as a deep growl came from the pit of her gut. "Dare to repeat that again."

Here, she thought he went silent because of what she said. But she never thought, he would actually pause to consider it.

How dare he?

Aiden broke into a flutter of laughter. His hearty laugh filled the call, but Arwen didn't relax.

Her expression remained grim as she warned. "Even if you are miles away, don't forget you have a very dangerous wife waiting at home. I won't spare you just by looking at your pretty face. If you don't know, I will tell you —I am capable of the worst. Understood?"

Aiden noted her gloomy tone and was satisfied. Slowly humming, he thought to end the farce.

What did you understand?" she asked back when heard him relenting. Even though she knew that he was just teasing her, she still couldn't bear the thought of it.

She never knew she was this possessive, until today.

"I understood that I have a dangerous wife waiting at home to experience my skills and service."

"You —"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the official invites to Davies International's Annual Event have been sent out.

It had reached all its important shareholders, stakeholders, dignitaries and even the employees. Everyone was cordially invited.

Even the Quinns.

When the invite arrived, neither Catrin was at home, not Idris. Therefore, it was the butler who had received it.

After a long time, for the first time, Idris and Catrin had come back home together. They didn't take the same car, but somehow entered the house at the same time.

Idris wasn't feeling well, so he arrived earlier than usual to rest.

Since the last time he mentioned divorce, Catrin hadn't initiated any talk with him. And he didn't bother as well.

When they entered the house together, they gave each other brief glance before Idris walked past her to head straight inside.

But just as he was about to, Mr. Cole stepped forward to inform. "Sir, we have received an invite."
