"Mother, I'll let you know when she finally decides to accept my proposal," Nico said with a laugh.
"Well, I'll wait for good news from you." After saying that, Maria turned to face Aiden. "Aiden, I'm really sorry for what happened to you and Anya. I really hope you will have a good relationship with her."
"You should think about your health. We are family, nobody blames you for what has happened. Now look, three couples are getting married, so you have to be healthy again. The Atmajaya family wouldn't be able to live without you," Aiden said in his warm voice.
Happy tears rolled down Maria's face. "I will take care of my health and help you have a great wedding party!"
Their dinner was very nice. Maria felt the guilt in her heart eased a little when she saw Anya and Aiden back together like this.
After dinner, they all returned to their homes.
Anya was seen a little drunk and leaned on the sofa lazily. She also wanted to go home from Aiden's house. "Who will take me home?"
"Where do you want to go?" Aiden looked at her with a smile.
"Go home."
"But this is your house."
"I want to go home to my mother."
"Your house is where I belong. Don't go." Aiden carried Anya from the sofa and led her to their room.
He lowered his head and kissed Anya's cheek gently before climbing the stairs.
Anya hugged Aiden even tighter.
Perhaps the hangover made her more courageous.
Or maybe it was because she had been separated from Aiden for a few days that Anya missed him more than anything.
Then they started making out once they went inside their room. Even though she was a little drunk, Anya's mind was still as clear as water.
She could feel Aiden's every move very clearly, and subconsciously followed him to keep up with his rhythm.
It's true what Aiden said. Their bodies complemented each other perfectly. They were created to complement each other. And they were perfect together.
…
Anya woke up the next morning seeing Aiden staring at her face as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Did you not sleep and just stare at me all night?" Anya closed her eyes again and buried herself in Aiden's arms lazily.
She was too lazy to get up.
"Anya, I don't want to go to work. I will stay with you today, okay?" Aiden suddenly said.
Anya was stunned for a moment and decided to tease him. "Aren't you afraid that Nico will make the Atmajaya Group bankrupt?"
"Ivan will be at the company and watching him over. The Atmajaya Group will not go bankrupt easily," Aiden replied calmly.
He did not tell Anya that the first thing he did when he returned to Indonesia was to meet Ivan.
The doctor said that his condition could only get better if he had the surgery. But he still had a lot to do. He couldn't undergo the surgery now.
Aiden was afraid that something would happen during the surgery. He was afraid that he wouldn't wake up and wouldn't be able to see Anya anymore.
Harris had told him what happened in the last few days. It seemed that Ivan already knew about his illness.
"I've been investigating your mother's death. At that time, it was the maid on duty who released the poisonous spider in your mother's house. And since it was not found in time, your mother could not be saved and died on the spot. My mom didn't do it, but all of this had something to do with her. Heru did it because he wanted to get rid of your mother and make my mother occupy her spot as Mrs. Atmajaya," Ivan explained.
"My mother is not a murderer. She didn't tell Heru to hurt your mother. But Heru loved her so much and wanted to do everything for her. He also helped my mother to get Amore," he added.
Ivan continued, "I know my mother has done a lot of horrible things and even wants to get rid of you. Your kidnapping incident wasn't an accident. The explosion in the warehouse is also Heru's plan. I'm not saying this to defend my mother. She didn't do anything, but she got the biggest advantage in this and it made her guilty."
"Aiden, I will make up for all my mother's mistakes. During your recovery, I will look after Atmajaya Group for you. After you are healthy again, I will return it to you," Ivan said calmly.
"If you want to do that, I will not refuse your help, brother."
With that, Aiden threw all of his responsibilities in the Atmajaya Group to Ivan along with the task of guiding Nico.
Ivan rarely heard Aiden call him brother. He couldn't describe how he felt, but he was very happy.
At first, Aiden took control of the outside branch company and returned to Indonesia to take over the Atmajaya Group to prevent Ivan from gaining the slightest power. Aiden was so busy that he couldn't even breathe.
As a result, he nearly lost his life.
This illness made Aiden understand many things more.
He could see that he could spend less and less time with Anya. Aiden really didn't want to do anything and just accompany Anya.
After this, he might never be able to see anymore. He wanted to bury Anya's face in his memories so that he could remember her for the rest of his life.
What was the use of power and wealth if he lost his vision? No amount of money would be able to save him.
"You don't mind Brother Ivan to lead the company?" Anya was surprised when she heard Aiden hand over the Atmajaya Group to Ivan.
"Did you tell Ivan about my mother's death?" Aiden asked.
Anya nodded in reply.
"Why did you tell him?" Aiden asked again.
"I don't want to see you two hurting each other. He is your brother and I also don't want Brother Ivan to be like his mother," Anya answered with honesty.
"Ivan said he wanted to make amends for his mother and I gave him a chance," Aiden said as if there had never been any disagreement between them.
"Do you trust him?" Anya felt that Aiden was not the type to trust someone easily.
He was not someone who would give up all his power just for promises.
"I want to test him," Aiden replied.
Anya smiled at his answer. This was the real Aiden.
"You said you don't want to go to work and accompany me every day, is that for real?" Anya asked.
"Really. From today on, I will not go to the office," Aiden said with a serious look.
Anya saw the expression on Aiden's face. The man didn't look like he was lying, but Anya realized something was wrong.
What happened?
"Aiden, what happened to you? Why don't you suddenly want to work?" Anya stretched out her hand and touched Aiden's forehead. He didn't have a fever, but still…
"It's been a long time since I slept well. I can only sleep when you are around," Aiden hugged Anya's waist. "We have been separated for two years. So I missed over 700 deep sleeps. Now I want to make up for it."
"How do you make up for it?" Anya asked.
"Of course sleep with you," Aiden replied.
"But I have to work ..."
Aiden did not let Anya escape him. He immediately covered Anya's mouth with his lips and so they created their own storm together.
…
Anya laid down on the bed looking all limp. All the energy in her body had been drained away. Her hips felt sore and her legs were shaking a little.
"What do you need? I'll have someone prepare everything for you. You can use the perfume room in the house so that your formula won't get leaked," Aiden said.
Anya looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know something?"
"I don't know anything," Aiden replied, kissing Anya's forehead. He only found out recently that Mila was Keara's most trusted person. He didn't want to do anything to make Mila suspicious of the situation, so it's better to let Anya work from home.
