As he scanned the contents, his expression remained unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It still lacks details. This is not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he closed the file and, without a second thought, dropped it into the trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr wasn't surprised at all. From the very beginning, he had known about his boss's pursuit of perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noted, sir,\" Emyr responded with a nod, already sending a notice to the team responsible for the report. \"I have informed them, and they have already started re-working on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden hummed in acknowledgement and turned his attention back to the file he had been reviewing earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office was silent except for the faint sound of papers turning. But just as the time was passing, his phone rang, breaking the stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden ignored it at first, continuing to review the document. However, as the ringtone continued further, he glanced at the caller ID before putting it on speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't speak but rather turned to look back into the documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr, who had been standing quietly, didn't know who was on the call. But since, Aiden hadn't asked him to leave, he assumed there was no requirement to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief while, neither of the sides spoke. It seemed like a challenge of patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Aiden didn't seem to be losing, the patience of the person on the other end thinned. And soon, a gruff voice came through the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single word carried an unmistakable authority, and Emyr instantly recognized the caller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn't met him many times, he knew that in this world, there was only one person who dared to address Aiden Winslow in such a manner —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morgan Winslow, his grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else held such guts …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden wasn't fazed at that tone. He sat neutrally behind his desk, working as he affirmed. \"Grandpa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you still have the consciousness to recognize me?\" Morgan sneered. \"If not, I almost thought you considered me dead.\" His voice came sharp, carrying an underlying weight of authority. But it wasn't received as it was expected to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden had no intention of coaxing the old man. He simply continued flipping through the pages of his file, making no effort to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was Morgan who broke the silence again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You have nothing to explain at all?\" His tone was as sharp as before, laced with mock irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden's expression still showed no hints. Closing the file, he simply said, \"I don't owe you an explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basta*d! I am the chairman of the company, and above that, I am your grandfather. Is that how you talk to me?\" Morgan snapped, his voice booming through the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been anyone else, they would have cowered in submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aiden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained as composed as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you just a dormant Chairman?\" he countered lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You —\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a deep breath.\" Aiden's voice was calm, indifferent. \"You don't have to die just yet. I promised my late mother that I wouldn't let you die because of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morgan went silent, and that silence wasn't a facade. It carried an untold emotion, lingering in the air —unspoken, yet evident to those who knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the weight in the air grew heavier, he scoffed, breaking away from the suffocating tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, always running that sharp tongue of yours. You still think it's just that one promise that binds you with me and the family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden's voice was serious as he countered. \"If not for that promise, do you think I would care for this company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Morgan knew. If not for Marwenna's dying request, Aiden would have never agreed to acknowledge him or the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, as long as you care for the company, I have nothing to worry about. I can leave it in your hands and die in peace without a worry,\" he said with a soft sigh that carried hints of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could recognize it, it was gone. Morgan changed the subject to say. \"Oh, by the way, I heard recently you are coveting the shares.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I said, I don't need to report my plans to you,\" Aiden said, dismissing it straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Morgan didn't allow it. He simply continued, \"If you had any such plans, you should have looked for me. After all, I hold a significant percentage that could help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr's expression changed slightly when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was aware of the significance of those shares —not just because they belonged to Morgan Winslow, but because they also included the shares of Marwenna Winslow, Aiden's late mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr didn't know much details. But he has known that before her death, she had entrusted them to Morgan for safekeeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aiden had first instructed him to start acquiring shares, Emyr had presented a list of potential shareholders they could negotiate with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morgan Winslow's name had been on that list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Aiden had slashed it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Emyr hadn't understood why. From everything he had observed, Morgan Winslow appeared to be a doting grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aiden had asked, wouldn't he have willingly transferred the shares?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aiden had refused to touch them —as if, for some reason, he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Emyr hadn't dared to question him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the old man had mentioned it himself, curiosity burned within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced up at Aiden, waiting for his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he finally spoke, his answer left Emyr utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are for my wife. No one lays a finger on it, not even me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emyr was taken aback. He didn't understand what it meant for a moment, but then suddenly, he remembered he had read something once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man doesn't covet what rightfully belongs to his wife —he safeguards it, so that the world knows it's hers alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he wasn't able to quite grasp the depth of it. But today, he finally got what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T16:58:29.393Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfef40786c237156c0e8854a5e97ff2216c5f70000259c3110bfb2bda9f5f8d2","breaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-chapter-390","breaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-chapter-388",823,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbreaking-free-loving-again-the-flash-marriage-wi-cover.jpg"]
