Chapter 44:On a date (2/2)
Hana hurriedly turned around and opened the door, seeing Anya who was carrying two cups of tea standing in the doorway. Anya's hand was holding two teacups so she couldn't open the door to Aiden's study.
With Hana's help, Anya immediately entered the study. Hana hurriedly made her way out, leaving Anya and Aiden to talk together.
After the door was closed, Anya put the teacup on the table and sat opposite Aiden. At that time, her brain thought so hard about how she should start the conversation. Should she apologize for her father's actions?
”Are you blaming me for breaking your father's hand?” Before Anya finished thinking, Aiden had already started the conversation. In fact, he didn't feel guilty about breaking Deny's hand. He did all that for Anya.
”No. You are not wrong. He forced me and wanted to take me home just because I was useful for him.” Anya said quietly. Anya held her hands tightly, feeling very restless, ”My father is a cunning man. He will keep bothering you until he gets what he wants.”
Anya was worried that her father would not stop bothering Aiden.
”I am a businessman. In business I always consider the benefits I get. There's no need to worry about me.” Aiden replied.
Apart from that, Anya was actually worried about their marriage.
”Aiden… I still haven't graduated from college. Before I graduate, can we keep our marriage a secret for a while?” asked Anya in a low voice.
Aiden was silent for a moment when he heard Anya's request. His hand that was about to hold the teacup in front of him suddenly stopped, ”If you want to keep our marriage a secret, then how do we explain our relationship?”
”Girlfriend?” Answered Anya with a shy smile.
Seeing this, Aiden regained his composure. A faint smile crossed his face. At least, Anya was willing to admit that she had a relationship with him. He again raised the teacup in front of him, brought the tea to his lips and took a slow sip.
”What do people who date usually do?” He asked casually.
Anya blinked repeatedly when she heard the question, ”Have you never been in love?” She asked back.
Hearing Anya's question back, Aiden cleared his throat and answered, ”Do I look short on women?”
Anya noticed Aiden's handsome face, tall body, gentle attitude, great wealth…There was no way Aiden would be short of women! There must be many women who want to be Aiden's lover.
”No…” Anya honestly answered while shaking her head.
”I'm just wondering, how people your age fall in love.” They had quite an age gap. Anya was still 20 years old while Aiden was in his 30s. Even if there were many women who wanted to be his lover, it didn't mean that Aiden wanted to date just any woman.
Aiden asked that while looking straight at Anya, making Anya feel embarrassed under that gaze. Looking at Aiden's eyes at this moment, Anya felt that the man was not blind at all. His gaze seemed to be trying to penetrate her, finding out her true heart.
Moreover, Anya felt a little embarrassed by Aiden's question. She was ashamed to have to discuss love issues with a man.
”I didn't date during college. Usually people who are dating will go on dates, take walks, eat, watch movies and so on.” Anya answered. Her eyes were sparkling with longing.
”Didn't you date during college because you couldn't get over your ex?” Aiden asked in a light tone. That tone made Anya feel as if they were just chatting casually. But Anya still had to be careful about answering them. Aiden's mood could just change in a second if she answered incorrectly.
Aiden found out about her former lover! Of course the man did. Still, there was something Aiden didn't know.
”No. I'm busy studying and working. I have to finish my college soon. I also have to take care of my mother's flower garden to pay for my mother's hospital and pay for my college. When do I have time to fall in love?” Anya quietly answered.
”Then, since we are currently dating, let's date tomorrow!” Aiden said spontaneously.
”Eh? Dating?”
