Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685: What made her truly hesitate was ... her father.

Arwen’s words carried a weight that nearly made Catrin stagger. Her face drained of all color as she stared at her daughter, as if trying to decide whether she had truly heard what she thought she had.

"What did you say?" Catrin asked again, her voice trembling, her throat working as she swallowed hard —hoping, almost desperately, that she had misheard.

But reality was never so merciful. Especially, not when it was laced with the steel of unshakable resolve.

Arwen didn’t flinch. She met with her mother’s eyes and repeated, her voice steady, "I said, I will sign them, as per your wish. Didn’t you just want me to sign them and prove? Don’t tell me this was just another bait?"

A stunned silence gripped the room. Even the soft clinking of the glass and hushed whispers from the guests vanished.

This was an unexpected turn of the event that no one had seen coming.

Catrin’s nail scraped into her palms, digging deeper. "This —"

"Arwen, how could you even say such a thing?"

Emily stepped forward, in the pretence of defending Catrin. She held onto Catrin’s arms as if supporting her. "Why would Mom use such a thing as bait. What are you even thinking? Can’t you see, she is just too disappointed in you that now all she wants is not to see you anymore? She wants to sever all the ties with you."

Arwen stared at her as if considering her words with seriousness. Her gaze flicked towards Catrin before she asked again. "Really? Is that so, Mrs. Quinn?"

Catrin was caught off guard. She didn’t envision anything like this happening. All she ever imagined was Arwen realizing her mistake and accepting it, coming back to her finally.

How did this happen then?

Why did Arwen not realize her mistake?

Was she really not scared of anything of this being the reality?

Or has she really stopped caring?

No.

Catrin couldn’t bring herself to accept that. Her daughter loved them from the heart. She truly cared and did everything to make them happy. There is no way that overnight she would stop caring.

She refused to accept it. However, what she didn’t know was that —nothing of this happened overnight.

Arwen had given her enough time and chances to make amends. But over time, Catrin just made her realize that no chances would make her realize what Arwen wanted from her mother.

So, in the end, Arwen just gave up the hope she carried in her heart. To have a mother who would care for her the way a mother should.

Now, nothing about Catrin matters to her. This letter of severance meant nothing to her. Because in her heart, she had long severed the ties with her. Signing this paper was just a formality that she wouldn’t hesitate to do at all.

What made her truly hesitate was ... her father.

Mia frowned, but when she saw Arwen’s calm demeanor, she chose to believe her decision. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
