Chapter 15:Greenhouse (1/2)
After walking around, Hana returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Anya decided to spend some time and take a walk in the iris garden, in front of her new home.
Earlier she could only catch a glimpse at the flower garden from the car, but it turned out that the original view was much more beautiful than she had imagined. The flower garden was so big and there was a greenhouse in the middle of it. When she entered the greenhouse, she couldn't believe her own eyes. The greenhouse was much more beautiful than the iris garden in front.
Various kinds of flowers with various colors bloomed there. A white swing chair wrapped in vines made the place feel like it came from a fairy tale. This place would become her favorite place in the house, her hiding place.
As she was circling the greenhouse and watching every plant in it, one of the servants who was quite young approached her, ”Madame, dinner is ready.”
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the sky was getting dark. She thanked the waiter and told the servant to come back first.
Anya took a deep breath and prepared herself because she would return to the house and meet Aiden again.
'Anya, you can get through all this.' She thought to herself.
Then, her feet took a step, leaving the place like a fairy tale and returning to reality.
….
When Anya stepped into the dining room, Aiden was already sitting in one of the chairs, right at the end of the large table. A wide variety of delicacies had been served on the table, waiting to be eaten. Anya immediately sat in one of the chairs, next to Aiden.
”Are you done walking around?” asked Aiden suddenly.
Anya didn't think that man would start a conversation with her, ”Yes. Your house is very beautiful.” She replied.
Aiden didn't say anything. He just nodded and gestured to Anya to eat immediately. They ate in silence. There was no atmosphere of harmony and love like a newly married couple in general. There was only silence and an awkward feeling that made Anya find it difficult to swallow her food.
When she entered the bathroom in the main room, she realized that the bathroom was filled with various new women's beauty products. There were also several pairs of expensive looking women's pajamas in the closet. Anya touched one of the pajamas and felt the material was very soft when it touched her hand. It seemed that Aiden had already told his servants to prepare all of this for her.
The warm water seemed to make the fatigue she felt evaporate. She immediately cleaned her whole body and got ready to sleep.
After she finished, she returned to the room and found that Aiden was already in the room. Anya stopped walking when she saw Aiden's whereabouts. The man sat on a chair staring at the view of the lake from the bedroom's window. His shirt was not as neat as before. His top two buttons opened, exposing his chest a little. Anya seemed to lose her ability to speak and her gaze was fixed on the man who had become her husband.
Hearing the bathroom door open, Aiden immediately turned his head. He saw Anya who had just come out of the bathroom in her new pajamas. Her hair was slightly wet with water droplets, making her look very seductive. Her face was plain without any makeup, making her look fresher, while her cheeks were slightly flushed from the hot water.
Aiden immediately got up and approached Anya. He could smell the fragrance of flower-scented soap from Anya's body when he slightly bowed his head towards the woman. They stood facing each other for a few moments, before finally Aiden passed her and entered the bathroom.
