"You only need to drink it for a week. You've been drinking for two days and only have five more days left. Be patient," Tara said.
"Five more days? Do you want to kill me?! Aren't you my friend?" Anya said irritably.
"I did it for your own good. Anyway you haven't told me yet. What is it that made your mother and Aiden worried?" Tara asked.
"I have a daughter. I will introduce it to you later," Anya answered from the phone.
"What!?" Tara screamed in shock, making Anya jerk her cell phone away from her ear.
"Don't be noisy like that. My daughter is very beautiful. You will love her when you see her!"
"Whose child did you bring home? Indeed, your health is not good enough now, but that doesn't mean you can't have children forever. Why do you have to give up? You have good genes. Don't waste it!" Tara said.
"Why do you have the same reaction as my mother?" Anya felt her head was getting dizzy.
"Of course your mother will think the same. Why should you give up and adopt someone else's child? I'll make a new recipe for you. I'll make sure you will get well!"
"Forget it. It's better if we talk when we meet later," Anya couldn't explain it well over the phone. It seemed that everyone misunderstood her now. Perhaps it was better for her to speak in person.
Anya wanted to have children one day and was worried that she could never have children.
She had Alisa now, but she also realized that the girl wasn't her daughter. She just felt a little more peaceful when she was with Alisa.
However, that did not mean that she would give up on the treatment. She was still young and would fight hard as long as she still had hope.
After returning to Indonesia, Tara gave Anya a recipe for vitamins and various other herbs.
Anya just wanted to complain a little because drinking all this was not an easy thing. She had to get used to the bitter taste and take various vitamins every day.
But that didn't mean Anya didn't want to drink it again and gave up on her health.
By seven o'clock in the evening, everyone had gathered at Diana's house. The food had also been served on the table and ready to eat.
Everyone started to take their food and sat down in their places.
Suddenly, Aiden came from the front door.
"Uncle, you came on time. We were just about to eat. I'll get a plate for you!" Nico said, welcoming him.
"Did I invite you here?" Anya asked coldly.
"I invited him. Hana and the servants came all the way from Aiden's house to help me. Nobody cooked dinner for Aiden at his house. Shouldn't we have invited him?" Diana smiled and greeted Aiden. She immediately took a chair and placed it beside Anya.
"Mother..." Anya complained to her mother. She felt that she had been trapped.
As soon as Aiden sat beside her, Anya immediately got up and intended to move. But Aiden stopped her right away.
He lowered his voice and whispered in Anya's ear. "If you dare to leave here, I will kiss you in front of everyone."
Anya could only glare at Aiden in annoyance, but she didn't dare move anymore.
Just like Anya, who had changed since the past two years, Aiden was no longer the same man. He wouldn't have come to someone's house to eat uninvited like this.
He was too prideful to do it.
Aiden used to wait for Anya to come and try to persuade her. But now Aiden came to Iris for lunch with her, so Anya refused to come to his office.
Aiden became so unpredictable that Anya decided not to look for trouble.
"Handsome uncle, can I sit beside you?" When she saw Aiden's handsome face, Alisa was immediately amazed. Even though she was still very young, Alisa could already recognize a handsome man.
Aiden stared at Alisa with an unpredictable gaze. Today, Jonathan didn't come. He let this little girl approach Anya so that she would become her stepmother.
"Come here!" Aiden patted his thigh.
As soon as she saw it, Alisa's eyes immediately sparkled. She immediately ran towards Aiden and sat on his lap.
What happened next took everyone there by surprise.
Aiden still looked normal then fed Alisa very patiently and gently, as if nothing happened.
Alisa looked very satisfied. Even after she was full, she didn't want to get off Aiden's lap.
"Handsome uncle, do you have a girlfriend?" Alisa asked flirtatiously.
Tara almost choked on her food. She looked at Anya carefully and teased her a little. "Your daughter will introduce a girl to your ex-husband. How cute,"
Anya rolled her eyes and answered casually, "You think too much. My daughter loves him. She will not want to introduce him to other women. Better to keep it to herself."
Nadine nudged Harris's shoulder softly, "Is uncle in a trance?"
"Master is suddenly very gentle. This feels strange," Harris also felt scared.
Aiden took a tissue and rubbed Alisa's smudged lips as he asked, "Who do you want to introduce me to?"
Alisa smiled sweetly and asked. "How about Alisa?"
Tara immediately bursted out laughing at that.
Nadine also couldn't help laughing. "Alisa, do you like my uncle?"
On the other hand, Anya seemed familiar with this. She had known Alisa since she was still a baby. She understood that Alisa was a little more flirty than other children her age.
"Aren't you too small?" Nico answered, laughing too.
"Handsome uncle, do you want to wait for me? When I grow up, I will be as beautiful as Mom!" Alisa looked at Aiden with hope.
Aiden turned his gaze to Anya and then thought carefully, "Does Alisa want to see me every day and become my family?"
Alisa nodded seriously.
After that, Aiden looked down and whispered in her ear. "Then, let your mom marry me. You will be with us every day then,"
"Why is uncle the same as my papa?" Alisa looked at Aiden in confusion.
"Did your papa also say the same thing?" Aiden's eyes narrowed dangerously at Anya.
Meanwhile, Anya just lowered her head and pretended to not hear anything.
Alisa tilted her head and was in deep thought. "Can Mom and I marry you, uncle?"
"If your mom agrees, I don't mind," Aiden flashed a sweet smile at Anya.
Nadine lowered her voice and said to Harris, "It turns out that Alisa is very helpful!"
"Master is also very great, he can take advantage of this opportunity," Harris took a deep breath. He knew Aiden was great at taking advantage of opportunities.
He could turn everything to benefit himself.
"I want that kind of help too," Nico looked at Tara who was enjoying her meal.
Tara could feel Nico's gaze so she lifted her head from the food on her plate. "Why are you looking at me like that? I don't want to interfere…"
"That's right, you don't need to interfere!" Anya took a plate of Tara's favorite fried chicken and placed it in front of her.
"Mama, do you want to do it to make Alisa happy? Alisa really likes this handsome uncle!" Alisa grabbed Anya's hand and said, "As long as you agree to marry him, this handsome uncle will marry Alisa!"
