Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654: No one warned her.

Holding Aiden’s hands, Arwen went to greet his grandfather.

She thought he would introduce them; however, taking her with him, Aiden made no effort. He just stood with her, holding her hands.

Confused, she turned to look at him. "Husband, you —"

"Don’t expect that from him, dear," Morgan said before Arwen could nudge Aiden. "He wouldn’t make any effort to introduce you to me or anyone."

Arwen pulled her lips into a wide smile and then turned to look at the old man. "Ah... actually, it’s not like that. Aiden had told me about you. He —"

"He did?" the Old Winslow asked deliberately, even after knowing that she was just saying it for a say ... for a general formality.

After all, how else would it sound if she said that her dear husband never cared to mention his family to her?

Laughing out politely, she nodded, "Of course, he did."

"Oh, but he never mentioned you to me," Morgan said, quirking his brows at her.

Selene, who was also sitting there, felt fresh satisfaction blooming in her heart. It suddenly felt like she was getting worked up for no reason. If she had known bringing Granpa Winslow was going to be this satisfying, she wouldn’t have panicked when she heard he was here.

Seems like he also wasn’t in favour of Arwen. Selene’s lips tugged in a smirk as she glanced at Arwen.

On the other hand, Arwen blinked, not understanding how she should respond. If she had known that dealing with the old man would be difficult, she would have come prepared. But no one warned her. Not even Mr. Jones.

Could it be that the old man has not come to meet her, but instead makes things difficult for her?

But then didn’t Mr. Jones say he has always treated Aiden well?

Could it be that he disapproved of her as his wife?

"I wasn’t even aware that he married you until I got the news from someone else," he continued, and Arwen turned to look at Aiden, her brows raising at him as if asking him to tell her what was happening.

Aiden glanced at her before turning to look at his grandfather. "Why do I need to mention her to you? It’s not like I needed your approval to marry her."

Arwen was taken aback. She blinked before swallowing the lump she felt blocking her throat.

Wait! Did he really say that?

And, was that okay?

Awkward, she slowly turned to look towards the grandfather. She expected to see rage in his gaze, but instead, what surprised her was a flicker of amusement that played across his eyes. Like, he didn’t feel disrespected at all.

Was he not offended at all?

Her gaze met with his, and the next instant she saw him smile.

She saw the smile on Arwen’s lips, and that curve only twisted the knife into her heart further.

No, she couldn’t let her bask in all these joys and happiness. This all should belong to her. She should be the one standing beside Aiden and enjoying all those laughs and smiles, not Arwen.

Feeling ignored, she felt the desperate urge to get attention.

Not able to hold back that urge for long, she finally spoke, butting in. "That’s enough!"

Everyone paused for a moment and looked at her.

While Arwen’s brows arched up, Selene halted, suddenly realizing that in her moment of inner struggle, she had lost her calm.

"Ms. Martin, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Arwen asked.

And Selene just forced a smile before shaking her head. "N-no," she cleared her throat and then turned to look towards Morgan to say, "I was just curious to know what Grandpa Morgan got for me? I couldn’t hold back. Sorry if that came out a bit rude."

She then looked and gave a sweet smile to Morgan, who only stared at her as if he could see through her.

His gaze, like that, made Selene feel a little uncomfortable. However, she tried her best to keep her calm and maintain her composed self.

"You wanted something, dear?"
