Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760: Her Granna was protecting one who harmed her.

Arwen paused at that. Her gaze stilled at his face as if trying to understand that she heard it right.

"Chocolates?" she repeated, nothing understanding, her eyes filled with confusion. "What chocolates are you talking about?" She shrugged at the obviousness. "I usually don’t eat chocolate. The only ones that I have had are given by Granna and —"

Her words faltered as she continued further —not ready to accept it.

Those chocolates were given by Granna —the same grandmother of hers who has raised her, adored her and loved her the entire life. The one woman who never allowed her to feel weak and lonely in this world, where she didn’t even have her mother to take care of her.

"It can’t be those chocolates," she muttered, refusing to believe it. But when she saw the way Aiden looked at her, she closed her eyes, letting the reality sink in.

The chocolates ... the chocolates that she had loved taking every day like a ritual.

"Why did she do that?" She opened her eyes and looked at him. "I cannot believe it. She cannot do anything to harm me. Even my small injury had made her frown. Although she is not good at expressing her love, I have seen it. I have felt it ... her love and care. It’s always been genuine."

Aiden’s brows furrowed. He took a moment before he reached out and brushed away the tears from her face.

She glanced at him and again shook her head. "She cannot harm me, Aiden. She —"

"Shh!" he slowly shushed her, silently asking her to take a deep breath before finally speaking. "Your Granna wasn’t the one to harm you. You never trusted her wrongly, so stop blaming yourself."

Arwen stared at him, and he continued, "That drug was given to you by her. She gave you the chocolates that had the drug neutralizer, which means she didn’t try to harm you but rather save you. Save you from the effects of the drug."

"But it also means she always knew about it, yet she never told me." She shook her head as she couldn’t wrap her head around the thing. "Why do you all have to play this secret game with me. This was all about me, yet I was the one who was always kept in the dark. Why?"

Aiden cupped her face almost immediately as if he was desperate to explain to her ... desperate to make her see that he had a reason behind hiding things from her. If not, he wouldn’t have hidden anything from her. One thing that he wanted to share with her was the transparency. Yet that was one thing he wasn’t able to give her fully.

It made him feel incompetent. But it was fine. If she would blame it on him, he was ready to take that as well. He deserved it. But still, he wanted to explain it to her.

"We never meant to hide it from you, Moon. We just were too scared to lose you."

Arwen stared at him, helpless —not because the situation made her feel like that. But because she knew that even if she had been in the same place, she wouldn’t have chosen differently. She would have made the same choice that Aiden made.

And that’s why, even though she was feeling betrayed inside, she couldn’t bring herself to blame him.
