Chapter 707 - New Years Eve

Anya knew all of this happened because of her.

She was the one who beat Jessica to a pulp and indirectly gave her the opportunity to approach Aiden.

For three days straight, Aiden went to visit Jessica at the hospital after finishing his work and before going home.

When he returned home, Anya was already sleeping.

When he left for work the next day, Anya was still not awake.

Aiden tried to text Anya during the day, but Anya didn't send a single reply. His wife also ignored his calls.

Anya refused to communicate with him, especially since the news about him and Jessica surfaced.

On New Year's Eve, their house had been remodeled for their family party.

They invited Galih and Indah to have lunch together. In the evening, they would all go to the Atmajaya Family house to spend the new year together, watching fireworks and so on. Then, they would come back the next morning.

Even in the new year, Anya didn't get to see Aiden in the morning.

Aiden left early, before she even woke up.

"Aiden went to the office again? He still has to work on New Year's Eve?" Anya looked a little disappointed.

"Today, Jessica will be discharged from the hospital and Aiden went to the hospital to visit her. He said he would come back before lunch," said Hana.

Indeed, all of this was Anya's fault and Aiden had to pay for it.

If only she didn't hurt Jessica, Aiden wouldn't need to go to the hospital every day, right?

Jessica demanded that Anya should be arrested or put in a mental hospital from that incident.

So far, Aiden had never lowered his pride in front of others because the Atmajaya Group had always been the more powerful.

But he couldn't keep going this way because of Anya, he needed to humble himself for her sake. He couldn't lose Anya and he didn't want something to happen to her.

For Anya's sake, he tried to make peace with the Hermawan family and visited Jessica every day at the hospital until she could be discharged.

Today was the last day. After Jessica was finally discharged from the hospital. This problem would finally come to an end.

Around 11 pm, the food was ready to be served and the event would start when Aiden returned.

Today was Anya's first new year together with Aiden. This was also their twins' new year.

Today was a very important day for Anya.

When Aiden returned, he saw her wearing a white dress and waiting for him in the garden.

Aiden immediately took off his jacket and put it on Anya's shoulder. "Why don't you wear a jacket or a scarf? What if you catch a cold?"

Anya didn't even turn to look at him. "I thought you were going to eat together with Jessica and her family."

Nico was nearby when he heard Anya say it. He felt that he couldn't accept it when his uncle was being insinuated like that. He understood Anya's condition, but at least she should also understand his uncle's situation.

"Auntie, uncle has tried to humble himself before the Hermawan Family just for you. Why are you still blaming him?" Nico said.

Anya was silent when she heard that, but her eyes looked sad.

She didn't want all of this to happen. She also didn't want to be depressed, nor lose control of her emotions. 

Anya didn't want Aiden to do all this for her. That's why she wanted to leave Aiden.

For everyone's good ...

Aiden glared at Nico and told him to leave since he didn't help at all. The man didn't want Anya to be sad over this problem.

"Jessica has already apologized about the thing with the psychiatrist. I visited her at the hospital these few days so that our family and the Hermawan family's relationship is not affected. No matter how you see it, you hurt Jessica. I still have to show them my respect," Aiden tried to explain it as patiently as possible. 

"But I don't have any relationship with her. You know that there is only you in my heart, right?" The man then hugged Anya from behind and kissed her on the shoulder. "Are you waiting for me?"

Anya nodded briefly. Not knowing why, she felt very happy when she heard that she was the only woman in Aiden's heart.

After venting all her anger on Jessica, Anya's mood got a little better. She'd also been eating quite a lot lately.

For Aiden, this was a very good development. At least, his wife's condition was better than before.

And Aiden was sure that after their vacation to the island, far from the problems that almost drowned them in the city, Anya would come back even better.

He wanted Anya to come back like her old self. Confident and caring, someone who saw the world in a positive way like before.

Everyone did have their own weaknesses and strengths. But now Anya couldn't see her strength at all.

Aiden didn't care if she couldn't be like Maria or Nadine. Anya was Anya, his little wife whom he loved for no reason. His wife created perfumes with her golden hands.

She was even more reliable than Keara, who had been living and growing up with Galih.

But after she was hit with depression, her self-confidence decreased. She always looked down on herself and saw everything in a negative light.

Aiden wanted Anya to get well soon and return to her confident old self as before. In his eyes, Anya was the best woman and nobody or nothing could beat her.

…

After lunch, Diana and Indah chatted on the sofa over tea. Aiden invited Galih, Nico and Harris to go to his office. Nobody knew what they were discussing at this time.

Meanwhile, Anya, Tara and Nadine were seen making cupcakes for their lunch and planned to bring some to the Atmajaya Family's house.

The cupcakes that Anya made looked very beautiful. She immediately took a photo and uploaded it on social media.

Della: "The cupcakes are so cute! You can also bake?"

Esther: "Please send it to me. I'm in the mood for something sweet right now."

Maria: "I didn't know that you could actually bake! We have to bake the cake together later."

Seeing the response from those closest to her, a smile appeared on Anya's lips. She felt a little happier.

After she closed her social media, she got a notification of the news.

The headline made the smile on Anya's lips disappear.

"New Year's Eve, Aiden Atmajaya went to dinner with Jessica Hermawan from the Hermawan Group."

Anya opened the link and saw the photo when Aiden took Jessica home. The man was seen protecting Jessica when the woman got out of the car.

Jessica's eyes were filled with love as she looked towards Aiden. And Aiden also looked very close while trying to help and protect her. The photo was convincing enough that they had a very close relationship.

Aiden only drove Jessica home, but the news came out so exaggerated.

Previously, Anya would not have cared about the news. But now she couldn't close her eyes when she knew that Jessica loved Aiden.

Anya took her cell phone and went upstairs to meet Aiden.

Without knocking on the door, she went straight in and gave the cell phone to him. "Look at this!" She said with a disappointed face.

Aiden accepted it and frowned when he saw the news on the screen. "Harris, please take care of this as soon as possible."
