Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: NO WAY!

Chapter 274: NO WAY!

“Gia, you are overstepping your boundaries?” Efa, Gianna’s mother chided over the call.

Her tone was laced with a warning that Gianna couldn’t bring herself to ignore.

“You know your Uncle doesn’t like when we try to get close to him or speak in his life or decisions.

And you stand no different than us in his life.”  “Mom,” Gianna began.

“I am not trying to get close to him this time.

I am just concerned for Arwen.

She is my friend.

How can I not care for her?”  She had called her mother in hopes of getting at least something that would help her understand the situation that might have forced her uncle to make such a rushed decision of marriage.

But she never expected that not just she wouldn’t get answers to her question, but her mother would end up scolding her instead.  “Gia, sweetheart, I understand your care and concern for your friend,” Efa said again.

“But you need to understand she is no longer just your friend.

She has become your Aunt now, your uncle’s wife.

There is nothing to be scared about.

Your uncle isn’t a monster and he knows well how to take care of people well.

He will take care of her better than anyone else.”  Gianna was taken aback for a moment.

It wasn’t her mother taking her uncle’s side that took her off-guard.

She has always done that.

But what she said about her uncle is what paused her in her thoughts.  “He knows how to take care of someone?” she repeated, sounding slightly skeptical.

“Mom, how can you be so sure of that?

I mean we never saw him taking care of anyone in these years.

He has always been a lone wolf, living alone like he has no one in this world.” “Gianna Griffin!” Efa snapped, and the way she voiced out Gianna’s full name made Gianna flinch.

“Since when did you start forgetting to respect your Uncle?”  “M€“Mom, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful,” Gianna never meant her words to sound disrespectful.

I was just -”  “I know, Gia, you are concerned for your friend.

But in your concern don’t forget about whom you are talking,” her mother said with a soft but exhausted sigh.

“Your uncle might have lived alone but he knows how to take care of the ones he holds precious.

Unfortunately, we never knew how his care looked because he never considered us precious enough to protect.

But your friend will be different.”  She then paused and Gianna could imagine a soft smile on her mother’s lips as she said further.

“If he tolerated your impudence for the sake of her, then that means he cares for her more than he cares about himself.

And that’s more than anything your friend could ask for.”  Gianna couldn’t say anything.

Actually, she also thought the same.

Earlier when she dared to threaten her Uncle, she almost was ready to embrace the death.

But then she heard him let her go just like that as if she hadn’t dared something that would have caused her a death sentence.  She was stunned but the more she was stunned the more her confusion deepened.  “Mom, do you think Uncle might fallen for Arwen?” Before Gianna could realize it, she had spoken out her thoughts loud.  A brief silence settled on the call, but soon Efa spoke, “That’s not impossible, Gia.

After all, your Uncle is a human, who can also fall in love.

And if that’s something that’s happened, I am happy for him.

Finally, he would have someone in his life he would want to return home to.” “But how can that be possible, Mom,” Gianna said almost abruptly.

“Didn’t you say once that Uncle always had someone in his heart?

Someone he would never forget.

And if he loved someone else like that, how could he love Arwen?  Efa didn’t say anything for a while which made Gianna confident that was not just some fiction tale she had heard, but the truth.  “It’s not impossible, Gianna.

People do fall in love more than once.

Your Uncle can be a similar case.”  “Mom, I can’t bring myself to believe that it is as simple as it looks.

I-”  “Gianna,” Efa interrupted Gianna.

“You better don’t annoy your Uncle.

Or else, you know even your father won’t be able to save you from his wrath.”  “Mom!” Gianna whined.

“How can you ask me to stay scared of Uncle even now?

Didn’t you say Uncle isn’t scary at all?”  “He isn’t, Gia,” Efa spoke softly, to make her daughter understand it well.

“But dear, if you intervene in something that he had clearly drawn a line from you then it wouldn’t be his fault to punish you, rather it would be what you asked for.

At that time, neither I nor your father would be able to intervene.”  Gianna understood what her mother meant and she had no plans to cause her Uncle any problem.

She was just concerned for Arwen.

As long as she stays happy with her Uncle, Gianna would be happy for them.  “Mom, I -” she was ready to relent, but her mother thought she was still stubborn.

Cutting her words words, spoke, “Gianna, what’s wrong with you?

I thought you liked your Uncle the most.

Why are you still going against him?”  Gianna pinched the space between her nose.

“Mom, I still like Uncle and who said I am standing against him?

I would never.

I was just a little confused and concerned for my friend, Arwen.

But since he doesn’t treat her badly, I support their pair together.

I am happy for them.”  When Efa heard her like that, she was finally at ease.

Humming, she said, “Then that’s good.

I hope the next time you meet him, you will not act impudent, but rather be more polite to him.

Also, Arwen might have been your friend before but now, she is your Aunt.

Call her more properly.

She-”  Gianna didn’t even let her mother complete.

Roaring on the top of her lungs, she said, “NO WAY!”
