Chapter 456 - Returning To Those Times

"Anya, Aiden is busy. Come home!" Jenny immediately drove her away without further ado.

"I can wait for him," Anya was determined to meet Aiden today.

Since Aiden hadn't been home lately, she didn't even have a chance to talk to him. This problem continued to drag on, making Anya unable to calm down.

Today, she would be waiting for him!

"If you want to wait, just wait yourself!" Jenny snorted and ignored Anya. She returned to her chair and started eating jelly from Aiden with pleasure.

Anya sat on the chair in the waiting room and could only wait patiently for Aiden.

In his office, Aiden stared at the figure of his wife from the monitor screen. His heart felt like it was being squeezed, making his breathing a little heavy.

"Sir, would you like to let Madame in?"  Harris asked.

"No," Aiden replied.

Anya saw Harris when Harris came out of Aiden's office. Her eyes immediately glared at the man. She got up and said, "Harris, is Aiden still busy?"

"Madame, Mr. Aiden has no time to see you today. Would you like me to take you home?" Harris asked.

"No need. You must be busy too. I can wait," the twinkle in Anya's eyes seemed to fade. But she could only answer with a smile.

Harris didn't try to persuade her anymore, but he said, "If you need anything, call me."

Anya nodded and thanked Harris.

She kept waiting, waiting, and waiting, until it was getting late. But Aiden still did not come out of the room.

"Anya, it's already time to go home from work. Why are you still here?" Jenny said, cleaning her desk.

"If you want to go home then go. I still want to wait," Anya said, smiling faintly.

"Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending not to know? Brother Aiden doesn't want to see you. What's the point of waiting for him like this? You will only tire him and make him more and more angry of you," Jenny sneered.

Anya could feel her feelings of being unstable lately. She had been waiting since noon and her hopes were slowly fading.

Jenny's words were like a sharp knife stabbing deeply into her heart, making it even more difficult for her to breathe.

"This is my problem with Aiden. You are an outsider, you don't need to interfere," Anya replied coldly.

"Who is the outsider? You or me? I am Brother Aiden's cousin and our relationship will never end. But you, what will you be after you separated?" Jenny looked at Anya with a laugh. "Harris called you Madame. Do you think you are really the wife of the CEO of Atmajaya Group? Don't be ridiculous,"

Anya could only be silent. It had been half a year since she married Aiden. From the start, she had never once relied on her identity as Mrs. Atmajaya to do anything. She was always careful because she didn't want to embarrass her husband.

She never considered herself as the wife of the CEO of Atmajaya Group. She was just Anya, Aiden's wife. Previously, Aiden also wanted to announce their marriage in public but it was Anya who refused and wanted to hide it.

Now, all of her decisions were back against her.

Jenny laughed at her, thinking she was just a crazy woman who couldn't let go of her boyfriend.

"If you really like waiting, just wait. I want to go home!" Jenny looked down at Anya and then walked away smiling.

Under Jenny's insult, Anya could only clench her fists tightly. Her back remained straight as if she was trying to endure all the humiliation she received. Her fingernails stabbed into her palm. Only pain could keep her conscious.

She got up and went to her husband's office door.

Aiden saw Anya standing in front of his office's door from CCTV. His heart was furious, but he was unable to do anything.

Meanwhile, Anya stretched out her trembling hand, unable to knock on the door before her. Her hand was raised in the air for quite a while, before finally returning to her side without doing anything.

Her gaze was straight at the door in front of her, longing clearly radiated from eyes. She put down the bag she was carrying before turning and leaving.

After Anya left, Aiden opened her office door and took the bag that Anya had left. There was a perfume and a letter in it.

Aiden recognized the handwriting on the letter with just one glance. The beautiful and elegant handwriting belonged to his wife, the woman he loved the most on earth.

…

'Aiden, I don't know if you want to see me today, but I know you are hiding something from me Do you remember? I said I wanted us to live happily and peacefully, without misunderstanding, without suspicion, without cold war.'

'Can we go back to that time?'

'People said, it's difficult for a man to forget his first love. But I feel my smart and kind husband isn't that kind of man. I asked someone to investigate your kidnapping. Why didn't you tell me that my mom did it?'

'Is it true like what Keara said? You married me because you wanted to take revenge on my mother? Just because you want to evict my mother's garden to ease your anger?'

'Do you want me to believe in Keara's lies? Or do you want me to believe that you married me into that garden? Or do you want me to believe that you don't love me and I am just a substitute for Keara?'

'Aiden, I have absolutely no idea what's going on.'

'You looked for various reasons to leave me and even asked sister Maria to help you. Even though I'm young, I've been with you for half a year. I've learned a lot. I know you want to get away from me. But what is the real reason?'

'I'm really worried. We are husband and wife, but you always bear it all alone. We should share our joy and sorrow together. I will never leave you in times of trouble…'

'If you don't want me to know anything, I can pretend to be stupid and let you divorce me. Even though you don't want to be with me anymore, even though you don't want me and our child, you are still my only true love.'

'Do you remember this perfume? This is the perfume I made especially for you, the only one in this world.'

'I'm waiting for your answer…'

'You can give me divorce papers. Or you can also tell me everything and we will face the problem together. If you decide to hide everything from me and let me go, I'll never come back again after we part.'

'So, do you really want to divorce me and keep everything a secret?'

…

Anya put her name on the right end of the letter.

After reading it, Aiden's eyes turned red, holding back his tears, making his eyes look like they were bleeding. His hands were tightly clenched, trying to hold back his feelings. Enduring this feeling was so hard that it made him want to collapse.

His little wife was very smart.

Anya couldn't believe that Aiden still loved Keara and wanted to return to his old love.

Anya couldn't believe that Aiden married her only to take revenge and get her mother's garden.

Aiden even deliberately made her wait all day without seeing him, giving her homemade jelly to another woman, just because he wanted to make Anya hate him.

But Aiden couldn't do all this anymore…

He couldn't do it. He didn't want to hurt Anya any more than this.

But he also couldn't tell the truth, that they were uncle and niece. He couldn't ask her to separate from him.

He didn't want Anya to suffer like him when he found out that they are related by blood. It would be better for Anya to hate him and blame him…

"Anya, what should I do…" Aiden muttered in a low voice.
