Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 739

Chapter 739: No longer a life-threat.

Arwen nodded. "I do. But you can’t be like this always," she said, pulling back slightly to look at him. "I can’t bear to stay mad at you if you sweet-talk me. It makes things harder than they already are."

Before Aiden could say anything, he suddenly stilled at a faint sound. His brows furrowed as his gaze flickered down toward her stomach. When his eyes returned to her face, her cheeks were tinged with a soft blush, her lips pressed into a thin line.

"Now you understand?" she asked gently. "You don’t just make yourself suffer —you make me suffer with you. Can you really bear to do that?"

Aiden’s brows drew into a frown, his expression solemn. "The next time I am late, you don’t have to wait for me."

Arwen’s eyes widened slightly. "That’s your solution?"

Her tone grew a pitch sharp with disbelief. "Aiden, you —"

But before she could finish, a sharp gasp escaped her lips as he suddenly swept her into his arms. Her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck as he lifted her effortlessly.

"We were in the middle of a discussion, husband," Arwen frowned, struggling between exasperation and amusement. "You can’t just interrupt me like this halfway. Put me down so that he can sit and talk."

"There is no need for that," Aiden replied firmly, already taking long strides in a certain direction with her in his arms. "I already know the right solution."

"You do?" she asked skeptically, arching a brow. When his intense gaze locked onto her, she challenged softly, "Fine then, tell me. Let me hear this so-called solution of yours."

He didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he carried her over and set her down carefully on the counter, her legs dangling lightly in the air.

"Aiden, you —"

"This won’t be repeated again," he interrupted, his tone quiet but resolute. "I can endure anything on my own, but when it comes to you ..."

His words trailed off as his eyes softened, the weight of his emotions pressing through his silence. He shook his head. "I can’t bear the thought of you suffering —not even the slightest."

Arwen’s lips curled up into a small smile. She reached up to trace the side of his face tenderly. "Then that’s enough for me. At least with that thought, you will remember to take care of yourself. You will have your meals on time —not for you, but for me. And that’s all I want."

His chest tightened as he looked at her. He sighed inwardly. This wasn’t the first time —he knew it. She always did this. Put herself at risk, her own needs second, just to anchor him back whenever he strayed. Because somewhere she had long realized that he would never put her at risk.

And seeing her such faith, he could bear to let her down.

"Where are you going?" Arwen asked, holding him back by his arms when he took a step away.

Aiden turned to her and jutted his chin towards her stomach. "That’s still growling with hunger. Need to calm it down."

"Let me help you reheat it. It will be quicker that way." She offered, ready to jump off the counter.

However, before she could move, he stepped in front of her, blocking her way. "There is no need for you to get down. Sit here and watch me over, I will do everything, and then we will have it together."

Arwen pursed her lips, but when she saw his unrelenting expression, she took in a deep breath and nodded. "Then don’t make me wait for long. I am truly famished."

Aiden smiled and then moved around, reheating the dishes that were already set at the table.

At the same time, on the other side of the city —

After getting the clear details of what to look for in the blood sample, it no longer remained difficult for Cathleen to pinpoint the truth. As soon as she finished her analysis, she printed out the report and made her way to Reese’s office.

Ivy had long left, so she directly knocked on the door, only to hear Reese’s sombre voice from inside.

"Come in!"

Cathleen pushed the door open and stepped in. "Dr. Calvin," she began, her tone steady. "I have completed the analysis."
