Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624: She could accept the worst.

Selene’s face fell the moment she heard Aiden speak — firm, unwavering in his decision.

Why?

Why was he like that with her?

Couldn’t he be a little gentler? Just like he was with Arwen?

"Aiden," she began, her voice softening, "please understand. This is my first time at Cralens, and I have no one except you two here. I don’t want to be alone. It’s just a matter of a few weeks until I finish my work here. Why can’t I just stay here?"

Aiden looked at her, but the expression in his eyes didn’t waver. His gaze remained composed —distant —and it was clear he wasn’t reconsidering his stance.

That only made Selene’s heart clench with frustration. Her hands curled into fists beneath the table as she cast a quick, resentful glance at Arwen.

This was all because of her. If Arwen hadn’t been here, Aiden would have thought twice before letting her stay. He never used to think twice before.

No.

She wouldn’t leave.

Drawing in a shaky breath, Selene raised her chin and spoke again, this time with trembling vulnerability that coated her every word. "Aiden, I never wanted to bring this up, but you have left me with no choice."

Aiden’s brows knit slightly, but he didn’t interrupt her.

"I helped you when you needed me the most," Her voice cracked —whether from genuine emotion or well-practised intent, even Arwen couldn’t tell. "And now, when I need you, you are turning your back on me? Just like that? You can be anything but ..."

She didn’t complete her word, but what she meant to call him was clear. Ungrateful. "You can’t simply forget what I once did for you. And just for you. Without caring about myself." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Aiden’s jaw tightened.

His eyes locked onto hers, and for the first time in the conversation, Arwen noticed something stir in his gaze —not guilt, but memory. He knew exactly what Selene was referring to.

Arwen sat beside him in silence, her posture perfectly straight, though her fingers curled lightly against her lap. She hadn’t planned to speak —not now. Not in the middle of their conversation.

But the tone with which Selene was speaking to Aiden didn’t settle well with her. It carried hints of betrayal that she didn’t like. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She hadn’t asked Aiden about the favour he owed Selene, for she thought it wasn’t important to know. But now, she regretted it. Only if she had asked, she would have known what Selene was talking about.

"Although I didn’t think of reminding you of this," Selene said again, her eyes holding Aiden’s, "I never thought you would forget it."

"Is this how you are going to treat me after all I did for Aunt Morwenna? I know it wasn’t some great deed, and I never treated it as one. But Aiden — that was your mom. And I did everything I could to keep her by your side a little longer. I was just a kid in her teens, but I never got scared. I only thought of you."

"Can’t you think of me just once —and let me stay?"

Arwen blinked.

She caught the keywords.

So, this was about his mother —the woman she never met, yet felt an unexplainable connection with.
