Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757: Selflessly in love.

Aiden couldn’t express what he was feeling inside when he saw her like that. He didn’t lie —it was killing him. Every second, every moment, every time, he realized that even with him being around, she still was suffering the pain that he had no idea about.

He wanted to know what it was that had pushed her into this state, but her silence only made it harder for him.

His jaws tightened as his careful patience began to slip. He had the world’s tolerance when it came to her, but when she was like this ... he couldn’t hold on to it. "If you aren’t going to tell me, Moon, I will find out my own way," he said, his voice low and strained, before he turned to get up from the bed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But just as he was about to step away, Arwen’s hand shot out and grabbed his, holding him back.

He froze and turned to look at her. Their gazes locked, and his frown deepened.

She didn’t let go of him. Instead, looking straight into his eyes, she whispered, "If you want to know something, you can ask me. You don’t have to go looking for someone else."

Aiden’s chest tightened. He slowly sat back down, lowering himself onto his knees before her, taking her trembling hand between both of his. His thumb brushed across her knuckles with aching gentleness.

"But you aren’t telling me, Moon," he said, his voice breaking under the weight of his restraint. "What should I do? It’s hurting me —seeing you like this. It’s —"

"Is it more than seeing me not recognize you?" she cut in, her words trembling but sharp, piercing through him like a blade.

His breath caught. Her swollen eyes searched his face, as though she didn’t care about the answer he gave with words —she wanted to see it in his eyes, raw and unfiltered.

For a moment, Aiden paused. He could bring himself to understand what she meant. He stared at her, looking confused, when she read through his trouble and reframed her words to explain to him better.

"Did it hurt you the same way when I forgot you and your complete existence from my life?"

Aiden was taken aback. He wasn’t able to process it for the first time, but when she put it for the second time, he couldn’t pretend like he didn’t know what she was speaking about.

"Moon, how did you —"

Arwen cut in again, shaking her head at him. "Don’t ask me how, what, when, or why at this moment, husband. Just tell me what I asked you for."

"Why?" Arwen asked, looking up at him. When she saw him looking at her with a gaze full of understanding, it hurt her more. "Why did you never blame me? Shouldn’t it have been better if you had? You could have been better if you had hated me for what I did to you. Why didn’t you hate me? Why?"

The tears never stopped streaming down. How could it be? It wasn’t just coming for one reason.

Aiden stared at her before scooting closer to cup her face gently. Before he could say anything, she looked up at him desperately and shook her head at him.

"Please don’t hate me," she begged, tears gleaming in her gaze, blurring her vision. But she was not letting herself blink away at him. "I know I deserve to be hated. But please ... please don’t hate me. I won’t be able to take your hatred. Not even the slightest of it. I —"

Before she could speak more, Aiden pressed a finger over her lips, shushing her from speaking more.

When she stopped, he finally said. "I didn’t hate you, Moon." His voice was calm and steady, as if they were meant to reassure her. "I didn’t hate you ... not even for a second because I simply couldn’t. If I did anything, I only loved you. Every moment, every second of my life ... I just loved you."

"Why?" Arwen could help but ask. "Why are you so selflessly in love with me? What did I do to deserve this?"
