Chapter 34:Land for a Flower Garden (1/2)
”I'll go first.” Said Aiden.
The man was wearing a neat suit and carrying a large bag of clothes for the overnight stay. Today, he was wearing a dark blue suit, paired with a black shirt and shoes. He was going out of town with Nico and Harris on work and would be gone for three days. That meant Anya would stay at home alone for three days.
Anya just nodded and waved at Aiden and Harris. She felt a little happy that she finally had time to himself, but of course she didn't dare show it in front of Aiden. She acted neutral but her heart was actually very happy.
From today and for the next three days, she could do whatever she wanted! She could be free!
After Aiden left, she spent her time in the greenhouse. There she relaxed, read books and observed the various plants. While she was in the greenhouse, she remembered her mother's flower garden. It had been a long time since she visited the flower garden. Maybe a lot of weeds had filled the garden.
Tomorrow she would try to ask permission from Aiden to go to her flower garden. She could clean the garden and buy some flower seeds to plant.
It didn't feel like the sun had started to set. The sky was slowly being covered by clouds. Anya immediately returned to the house. As she walked towards the house, she smelled the aroma of cooking which made her stomach rattle. Hana was in the kitchen preparing dinner so Anya rushed over to help her.
Dinner was served on the dining table in no time. Today, only she and Hana would eat together.
She was glad that Hana was in this house. If it weren't for her, she would've eaten her dinner alone at this large table. She would definitely feel very lonely!
After dinner, they continued to chat in the family room until Anya started yawning. Taking a walk in the greenhouse earlier had made her quite tired.
Seeing Anya yawn, Hana also yawned, ”It's late, get some rest!” She said.
”Yes, Ma'am. I'll go to the room first. Good evening.” Anya replied.
She quickly went into her bedtime routine and lay down by her bed. Without realizing it, her hand touched the side of the bed that Aiden used to occupy. The bed was cold. There was a strange feeling creeping into her heart when she realized that no one was lying by her side.
This bed felt very big for her alone. In the past, the bed didn't even make up half of this bed.
She closed her eyes while her hands trailed Aiden's empty side of the bed. She fell asleep after a while.
The next morning, after breakfast, Anya tried to contact Aiden. She wanted to ask permission from Aiden to go to her flower garden.
It didn't take long for Aiden to answer the call.
”Hmm.” He muttered.
”Have you had breakfast?” Asked Anya with a small talk.
”Yes. What's the sudden call?” Anya rarely called him. Maybe he could count on the fingers how many times Anya called him after they got married. He knew that when Anya called him, it meant that she was in need of something or wanted to ask his permission.
