Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Seeing you like this is killing me.

Aiden frowned, his gaze sweeping across the house before settling again on Mr. Jones. "Where is she? Did she return home?"

Mr. Jones’s brows remained furrowed as he replied, "She returned early, but she ... she didn’t look good."

"Didn’t look good?" Aiden’s frown deepened as he heard him. "Is she unwell? Why didn’t you call the doctor?" He didn’t wait for the answer. He took the phone out, ready to call Jason.

But before he could press the call, Mr. Jones quickly added, "I asked her about the doctor, but she said she was fine. I don’t think it’s about her physical health. She seemed ... upset about something."

Aiden paused for a moment, his thumb hovering over the screen.

Mr. Jones sighed, continuing carefully, "Since she has returned, she has been ... quiet. Low. I offered to send a maid to her, but she refused, saying she wanted to be alone. And since then, she hasn’t come down. Usually, she would be here, waiting for you before dinner, but today —"

He didn’t need to say more. Aiden already knew Arwen’s habits. She never missed waiting for him, even if it meant sitting for hours. If he had chosen to ignore that ritual tonight, it only meant one thing —something was truly wrong.

But what?

The thought of her in distress, suffering alone, unsettled him deeply. His jaw tightened, his eyes flicking upstairs before his feet carried him in that direction.

Mr. Jones remained behind, his solemn gaze following Aiden’s retreating figure. He had witnessed their bond grow over time —once again —strengthening steadily. Yet, despite their love, hardships always seemed to shadow them. In for hor secrets, truths and lies.

He let out a weary sigh. "These children have endured enough," he muttered under his breath. "They have overcome trial after trial. Now it’s time they had peace —time for them to build a life with no threats, only happiness. May the heavens grant them that mercy."

He truly wished from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew, one’s wishes alone don’t hold that power.

In the meantime, Aiden climbed the stairs. The soft click of his footsteps echoed as he ascended, then carried him through the long corridor. Each step weighed heavier on his chest, making his unease grow with every breath.

At the door, he paused. His hand hovered over the handle for a moment before twisting it gently, pushing it open. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Though every instinct urged him to rush inside, he moved with deliberate calm, measured and controlled. He didn’t want her to see him unravel. He didn’t want his worry to overwhelm her.

As he stepped inside the room, he paused in his step, his brows furrowing. The room was cloaked in darkness. So complete, so still ... that had he not known she was there, he might have thought it empty.

"Moon!" he called softly, his voice a shade lower than usual, tender in its restraint.
