Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Men usually carry their beloved’s picture in their wallet.

Back at Winslow Residence,

Arwen was, as usual, working from home. She had nothing to visit the office for, so she decided to stay back and company Gianna.

But little did she expect that all the while she stayed, Gianna would have no chill. She would keep pestering her with one or the other question after every few minutes.

"Wen—"

"Annaaa!"

Arwen snapped towards her before Gianna could even begin again. But then, seeing her blink like an innocent, curious puppy, she didn't know how to react.

In the end, she just sighed and asked in a tired tone, "Why are you having so many questions today? Didn't you use to hate getting disturbed while you read books?"

She tilted her chin towards the book she was holding in her hand. She was sure that since the moment they had come back to the room, Gianna had barely read even a page properly. She was simply not at all focused.

"I-I still hate it when someone disturbs me while I read a book," Gianna spoke, looking a little guilty. But then, pushing the guilt to the back of her mind, she reasoned her lack of concentration. "But right now, I am not reading the book. I am thinking about something."

"You are not reading the book?" Arwen asked, glancing back at the book she kept in her hand.

If she wasn't reading, why the hell was she pretending to?

And who the hell thinks something while keeping a book open in their hands?

"No, I am not reading the novel now," Gianna said firmly, closing the book in her hand and then turning to Arwen with full attention. "I am truly thinking something else."

Arwen nodded in understanding. "Fine, then continue to think. I will get back to my work," she said and turned back to resume her work.

However, before she could resume, Gianna stopped her.

"No, you can't."

"Why?"

Arwen turned to look back at her and demanded. "Did I offend you in some way today, Anna? Why are you making it particularly hard for me? I —"

"I am not," Gianna cut her off smoothly. "I just wanted you to help me figure out something first."

"What are you trying to figure out now?" Arwen asked, not understanding what was going in her friend's head today.

When Gianna saw her losing patience so easily, her eyes narrowed, and Arwen at once understood the meaning of her gaze.

Taking in a deep breath, she said, "Fine, I get it. I get it." Closing her laptop, she cued her. "Tell me how I should help you figure out things that you want to. You have all of my undivided attention."

"Better," Gianna grunted and then shifted into a more comfortable posture before asking Arwen. "Tell me again, did you really see the girl that my uncle once loved?"

Although that didn't sound too pleasing to Arwen, she didn't let it make her feel uncomfortable for long. Nodding to Gianna, she replied, "Yes, I did see her."

"Where?"

Before Arwen even completed, Gianna shot out another question for her.

"Umm … in a photograph," she replied again.
