Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606: She is out guest, and she should be treated like one.

Selene was taken aback. She hadn’t expected her hand would be caught like that —firmly, unhesitatingly. No one had ever dared to touch her so boldly ... so rudely.

But this woman —the one she had started to hate the most —had the audacity.

Her gaze turned icy to glare at Arwen. However, Arwen didn’t flinch.

Her eyes remained just as sharp. "Is that answer so difficult, Ms. Martin, that you couldn’t give it?"

Selene gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her irritation. But when she realized Aiden was also present, she quickly composed herself and pulled her lips into a polite smile.

"It’s not," she said sweetly. "I was just taken aback to find you so vigilant. I wasn’t going to harm you."

She turned to Aiden and continued, still keeping her smile intact. "I merely intended to check his temperature. I heard he hadn’t been well. I tried earlier, but then ..." She looked back at Arwen. "You arrived, and he left to receive you at the door."

Arwen recalled the scene she had walked into. Selene’s words lined up just enough to sound reasonable.

"Now, if you could let go of my hand, I would love to check on him, just once, so that I can be at ease." Selene tried to pull her hand back, but Arwen’s grip remained unyielding.

Selene’s brows furrowed. "Arwen, what’s the meaning of this?" she asked, her tone slipping from pleasant to sharp.

It was already hard enough to maintain her calm in Aiden’s presence. But Arwen’s provocations like this were starting to wear down her patience.

"The meaning is simple," Arwen replied, a small smile tugging at her lips —one that never reached her eyes. "I am helping you save your effort."

Selene blinked. "What do you mean?"

Arwen’s smile deepened. "Oh-ho, you still didn’t understand."

She finally let go of her hand and turned to glance at Aiden. Then she reached forward and pressed the back of her hand gently against his forehead.

"I meant he is better now. You can relax."

She turned fully toward him, now completely ignoring Selene’s presence. "Did you have your meals and medicines on time?" she asked, her voice filled with care.

Selen stood silently at the side, fuming. Arwen had always been so prim and proper, but now, she wasn’t even pretending to be civil. She was blatantly dismissive —and utterly territorial.

And she didn’t care.

She had been raised to be a polite hostess, to act with grace in front of guests. But right now? All those lessons were buried under pure instinct.

And her instincts told her one thing clearly —she didn’t like Selene Martin.

She knew she was being childish and irrational. But she didn’t care at all.

Who asked this woman to touch something that didn’t belong to her?

Aiden watched Arwen’s face and smiled, his lips curving in clear amusement.

"What?" Arwen frowned. "Don’t smile at me like that, husband? Tell me —did you take your meal and medicine on time?"

Aiden nodded. "I did. If you don’t believe me, you can confirm it with Mr. Jones."
