Chapter 55：Weakness (1/2)

Anya tried to call Aiden one last time. The phone was on for quite a while, but Aiden didn't pick up. When he was about to hang up the phone, Anya realized that the call was already connected. Aiden had already picked up the phone.

”Hello, are you still busy? Am I bothering you?” Anya asked in a low voice.

”Hmm… No. What is wrong?” Aiden replied briefly. He was in a bad mood so he didn't want to talk at length.

Anya could feel it from far away so she felt a little doubtful, ”I've been hired. Tomorrow I will start working to get to know the shop and Rose products. After that I will help perfumers to make perfume.” Anya explained. Her way of telling stories was not like someone who was overly excited about being hired. She still felt shocked and confused because of her meeting with Raka. Plus, she was a little scared because she had to ask Aiden's permission.

”So? Do you want to leave your blind husband at home, to pursue your dreams?” Aiden replied wryly. What he said did sound absurd, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed knowing Anya had met Raka. If only he could, he really wanted to lock away his wife at home so that she wouldn't have to meet any man.

Anya felt her body shudder even though she didn't come face to face with Aiden directly. She knew that Aiden was upset. Maybe because she didn't let go and immediately promised to come to work tomorrow.

”I went to work at 8 and came home at 5. After that I wasn't going anywhere. I will go home to be with you.” Anya said softly. She tried to persuade Aiden. She couldn't lose this job!

There was no answer from the other side, but Anya knew that Aiden had not given her permission.

”Aiden...” She whispered softly, ”I really want this job.”

Anya didn't realize that Aiden felt his heart melt when she begged him. If that woman begged him in this manner, how could Aiden possibly refuse. He just took a deep breath, ”Alright,” He said simply.

Anya was shocked when she heard this. She never thought she could persuade Aiden this easy, ”Really?”

”Hmm ... Tomorrow I'll go abroad again and I'll come back next week.” Aiden said.

'Abroad again? Didn't Aiden just come home?' It seemed like Anya had married the busiest man in the world.

”What time do you leave tomorrow? I will take you to the airport.” Said Anya.

”No, the airport is too far from home. After you get home from work, you better take a break.” Those words should have sounded caring, but somehow Anya felt Aiden saying it coldly.

”I am your wife. Of course I have to take you there.” Said Anya.

Aiden snorted at Anya's words. Previously, Anya did not want to reveal her status as Aiden's wife, but now she openly claimed that she was Aiden's wife.

”Are you mad at me? Because I didn't ask permission first and decided right away that I'm going to work tomorrow?” Anya carefully asked. She didn't want to make Aiden even more angry.

”No.” Aiden replied curtly. He was not angry because of that. He was annoyed because Raka suddenly met Anya.

Even though Aiden's lips said no, Anya knew that the man was angry with her, ”I'm sorry,” She said in a low voice. She really couldn't give up this job. So, the only thing she could do was apologize to Aiden.

Aiden didn't answer because he knew Anya herself didn't understand why he was angry. Anya did not know that Aiden was upset because of her meeting with Raka.

”Hurry home.” Anya continued after not getting any answer from Aiden.

”Hmm ... I'll be home soon.” Aiden said, hanging up the phone. Indeed, this woman was the only person who could melt his cold heart. He couldn't be mad at this woman for too long, especially after hearing her sad tone when she asked him to come home soon.

Harris watched all this in amazement. Never once had he seen Aiden behave like this in his life.

”Sir, are you really going overseas for treatment this soon?” He asked.

Harris felt this was not the right time for Aiden to leave. What if Raka took the opportunity while they parted ways to approach Anya? Or even kidnapping Anya? Harris couldn't imagine how Aiden would react if that really happened!

”Raka suddenly returned to Indonesia and Ivan will also be back soon. I can't wait too long. The problems will build up even more.” Aiden's face looked calm as he said this. However, his lips were thinning and also tightened, showing that he really didn't want to do it either. But he had no other choice.
