Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 552

"What's wrong? Is everything fine?" Arwen asked, turning to look at Aiden, who sat behind the steering wheel, driving in silence.

Although the silence was not awkward, it was weird.

When she decided to go out with him, she didn't expect the ride to become so silent. She thought they would be going, teasing and having fun together as they have always been around each other.

Aiden hadn't noticed the same. So, when she asked, he was momentarily confused. "Huh?" he asked, turning to give a fleeting look at her. "Everything is fine. What could be wrong? Why did you ask?"

"You have gone silent all of a sudden," she said, not hiding the reason for her doubt. "You aren't like this always. So, I asked, did anything happen that changed your mood?"

He paused for a second, and in that moment, something flashed in his eyes. But before Arwen could notice it, it was gone.

"How am I, then?" he asked.

"Huh?"

He turned to look at her and asked with pure confusion written on his face. "You said I am not like this always. So, tell me how I am, then, if not like this?"

"You tease me and —"

"You want me to tease you?" his brows arched up, and her face flushed red, and she realized that although she didn't mean it, she gave him something to tease her.

"I didn't mean that," she said, looking away. Her fingers unconsciously moved to pull back the stray strand of hair behind her ears.

Noticing her gesture of shyness, Aiden smirked. "Oh, you didn't? But it made me feel that every inch of yours is craving to get teased by me. Do you like it when I tease you?"

"I … I …"

"There is no need for you to retort to it," he said, trying to make the answer easy for him. "If you like it, you can tell me. From next time, I will put extra effort into teasing you."

"You —"

"Hm?"

"Actually, I got it wrong. It wasn't bad when you were driving silently." She gestured him towards the steering wheel, which he was manoeuvring very skilfully. "It was, in fact, better. Please focus on driving. We aren't on a long drive right now. We have plans to reach somewhere, and teasing me like this will only delay us."

"Aren't we out for fun today? And this is fun. Isn't it?" he countered.

And Arwen narrowed her eyes at him. "No, it isn't. Drive now." She then crossed her arms and simply turned to stare out of the window.

Aiden watched and couldn't hold back a smirk.

Not long after, they arrived at the city's most luxurious mall. Living up to the name, all the well-known luxury brands were lined up in a row.

"Before we enter, I would love to remind you that at times like this, I don't often stay frugal," Arwen said, giving him a look that should have seemed like a warning. "I buy what I find worth buying. So, dear husband, I just hope you don't regret it later."

Aiden heard her well and stared at the opulent design of the mall. "It would be disgraceful for me if my wife couldn't be satisfied spending to her heart's content. Don't worry, there is nothing to regret."
