Chapter 569 - Doubt

"Did my father misunderstand my relationship with Anya and want to harm her?" Jonathan asked.

He didn't understand why his father wanted to harm Anya.

"The problem is not that simple. I want you to help watch over your father. My guards will protect Anya secretly. You just have to pay attention to your father's movements. If something happens, you can call Harris or call me directly," Aiden gave his name card and Harris' business card.

Jonathan accepted it and said seriously, "I'll make sure Anya won't get hurt."

"There is another thing. The woman with Alisa was my niece, Nadine. Your parents might arrange a blind date between you and her. I hope you can reject it and choose the one you like," Aiden didn't want Nadine to be trapped in such a complicated and problematic family like the Srijaya family. He really loved her niece, so he didn't want her to marry a widower with one child and become a stepmother at a very young age.

Nadine liked Alisa indeed, but that didn't mean she should be her stepmother. She deserved a better home.

Besides, Harris had been waiting for her for years…

"The blind date is my parents' plan. I have no intention of getting married again. I also have no intention of finding a stepmother for Alisa. Of course I will not allow your niece to be a stepmother to my child." As he said this, Jonathan looked inside the house.

Alisa really looked like her mother, especially her big eyes.

Every time he saw Alisa, Jonathan always thought of his late wife. As long as he could look after and take care of Alisa properly, he didn't intend to remarry.

Even if he met the right woman one day, she must truly love him and accept his daughter. Otherwise, Jonathan would prefer to be a widower for the rest of his life.

Aiden was not worried about Jonathan and Anya's relationship. If Jonathan found out about Anya's true identity, he wouldn never approach her. After all, they were cousins, though not related by blood.

But Aiden was worried about Nadine. Nadine had entered the age of marriage. Aiden was worried that his father would take the opportunity when he was not in Indonesia, and arranged a matchmaking for Nadine.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Alisa was finally about to go home. Before going home, the little girl cried in Anya's arms.

Luckily, she was very understanding. She knew Anya was busy and didn't have much time to take care of her. Also, she had not seen her father for several days and she'd missed him a lot.

After Alisa came home, Anya felt very relieved.

"Mother, I will not let you work hard to look after someone else's child besides mine next time," Anya said.

"Do you realize now how difficult it is to look after small children? When you left, what if something happened to Alisa? How would we explain it to her father? I couldn't even sleep well."

She had to look after Alisa and also take care of the garden. Indeed, Alisa was not a bad girl, but as a child, she had so many strange and difficult requests to be granted, such as taking pictures with her prince.

During the day, Alisa was very excited. However, she kept crying at night because she missed her father. In addition, she always wet the bed.

Plus, Diana still had to think about Anya's situation.

"It's true what you said, taking care of children is difficult. I can only play with them, feed them, but I can't educate them. Even putting them to sleep is difficult for me," Anya said.

"If we have another child, you only need to feed them and play with them. Then just leave the rest to me," Aiden suddenly said.

Anya's cheeks flushed hearing that. "Who wants to have children with you?"

"Of course you are," Aiden saw Diana's house and asked, "Can we go now?"

"Where are you going?" Diana asked.

"Mother, I want to invite Anya to my house only for tonight, before I leave tomorrow. I'll take her home to you tomorrow night," Aiden openly asked for Diana's permission.

"Anya, Aiden is going to work tomorrow. There must be a lot of things he wants to talk to you. Get ready quickly and go with him."

Anya's face immediately turned pale when she heard that. So many people wanted to help Aiden. If her mother had said that, what could she do?

She only had one choice— follow Aiden.

"Have you prepared everything you need?" Anya asked when they were on their way to Aiden's house.

Aiden nodded as he replied, "Yes."

"When you are abroad, don't forget to check your health. There may be something that can cure your insomnia. Not getting enough rest can have a negative impact on your health too," said Anya.

Aiden looked at her with a confused look. Sometimes he felt that he knew Anya well and some other times he felt that he couldn't understand Anya.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my words?" Anya asked with a frown. "I know you don't want the Atmajaya Group to fall into Ivan's hands. But that doesn't mean you have to neglect your own health."

"Do you remember Jenny? My cousin? She is Sister Maria's biological daughter," Aiden said.

"I've heard from Nadine."

"Jenny is not only the daughter of sister Maria, but also the adopted daughter of my uncle, Andre. I entrusted company matters to Nico and my uncle will help him. When I come back from overseas, I'll spend more time on you," Aiden smiled and brought Anya's hand to his lips.

"I don't need that. The important thing is you have to take care of your health," Anya asked Aiden to take care of his health and not work too much, not to accompany her. If the man continued to accompany her, Anya wouldn't be able to avoid him!

"Before, I worked day and night, not caring about my own health, because I was afraid I would miss you. But now, I want to spend all my time with you," Aiden looked at Anya with love. "Anya, what exactly made you doubt me?"

"I..." Anya could not answer. She didn't know what scared her.

She felt that the happiness she was feeling right now was so sudden that she was afraid it was all fake. She was afraid that all of this was just a delusion.

She was afraid she was only dreaming.

And once awakened, she would lose it all again.

Two years ago was the happiest time for her. Aiden loved her so much and their marriage was filled with joy. She won the perfume competition even though it was her first time participating. They were also blessed with a child, the fruit of their love.

Everything was good back then.

But in an instant, the child disappeared before Anya could even see them.

She had to lose her love, losing Aiden from her life.

Now, that happiness appeared before her again. If she accepted Aiden again, she could continue their previously delayed love story.

However, Anya felt like this was all a dream.

She was afraid that this happiness would disappear like a water bubble that popped at the slightest touch.

And most importantly, with her current body, she would not be able to have any more children. Would Aiden still love her then?

Aiden was so handsome and had an extraordinary charisma. How could that man not want to have children of his own?

Aiden might say he loved Anya now, but what would happen decades later? What if they fell into loneliness as they longed for the laughter of little children in their home?

If she didn't want it now, it didn't mean she didn't want it forever.

At least, until Anya found her biological parents, she couldn't think of anything else. Until she confirmed that her health had returned to normal and made sure that what was in front of her was really real, not just a dream.

Until then, maybe Anya would have the courage to accept Aiden again.

Now, she didn't want to tell Aiden because there was no point in him knowing.

Anya wanted security. A sense of security that Aiden couldn't provide her.

Seeing that Anya did not respond, Aiden asked, "What are you thinking?"
