Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 177

"Of course I do," Catrin replied, rather quickly, before reaching out to hold Idris’s hands, clasping them as if pleading with him to believe her intent. "I love our daughter, Idris. And for her, I will fix this. I promise. Whatever it takes, I will do it —for her and our family. Don’t you believe me?"

Idris studied her for a long. His heart asked him to believe her, but then he knew Catrin too well to know that she was not someone to give up her point so easily. However again, he believed that a mother wouldn’t act stubborn when it comes to her kid. Maybe, Catrin’s motherly instincts have finally overpowered her personality.

Nodding slowly, he agrees, "I believe you, Catrin. I believe that if you want and decide, you will be able to fix everything and make things right. All you have to do is apologize and make Arwen believe that you finally know you were wrong. She loves you enough to forgive you. Also —" he took a brief pause before saying, "I think there is some kind of misunderstanding, Catrin. Arwen wouldn’t be reckless to marry some old man who is even older than her father. We need to talk to her and listen to her. Let her explain before jumping to any conclusion, olay?"

Catrin lowered her gaze, as though nodding in agreement. But beneath her composed demeanor, a storm of bitterness was brewing. Fix this? Apologize? These words might have rolled off her tongue with ease, but the very thought of the idea was revolting to her.

Why would she apologize when it was clearly not her fault? The thought rubbed her ego in the wrong way, but she knew better than to let her true feelings show.

She exhaled softly and glanced up at Idris. With a soft smile, she nodded, "I guess, you are right, Idris. Perhaps we should give her a chance to explain," she said, her voice calm and measured. "I will talk to her on my own. All I want is your support."

Idris gave her a faint smile. "You will have all my support, Catrin. I will — "

Before he could say anything, Catrin shook her head and interrupted him. "When I asked you to support me, Irdris, I didn’t intend to say that you have to do anything to make things right. Let me do things on my own. I ruined it all, so it should be me making everything right."

Idris’s brows furrowed and he looked at his wife as if contemplating the meaning behind his words. When Catrin noted his hesitance, she quickly disrupted his thoughts, saying, "Idris, believe me. I want you to trust me. I am Arwen’s mother and I won’t do her any wrong."

Idris nodded. "Fine, take it your way. I won’t interrupt your plans, rather I would be there giving you all my support."

Catrin nodded. Her lips curled up to give a weak smile. "Thank you, Idris. Don’t worry, I will soon bring everything back to how it was."

Right at that moment, Idris’s phone rang and he excused himself to take it, walking away. Catrin watched his back, and slowly her expression changed. Mumbling to herself, she said, "I will soon make everything right, Idris. But in my own way. I can’t let you stand against me when I do that, so it was needed to get you back on my side. But don’t worry, I assure you, I want only the best for Arwen. She is my daughter and I won’t let her suffer." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
