Chapter 56：Other Men (1/2)

After their call ended, Anya waited for Aiden's return to their home. Time passed quickly. Anya had been waiting for several hours but Aiden had not come home. Anya's head kept turning to stare at the clock on the wall, but the clank of the clock made her feel even more anxious.

Why hadn't Aiden come home? Had he forgotten their date? Was Aiden so mad at her that he canceled their first date?

Anya sat on the living room sofa gloomily. The television in front of her was on, the book on her lap opened, but Anya paid no heed to it. Her mind was not in that place.

Hana could only chuckle when she saw Anya's behavior. She thought that Anya was missing Aiden, even though they had only parted ways for a while. 'Such a young love…'

A few moments later, the sound of Aiden's car came from outside the house. Hearing this, Anya immediately jumped from her seat and ran towards the front door.

Aiden had just stepped out of the car, but he could see Anya running towards him. The woman ran quickly like a little rabbit and immediately jumped into his arms, burying herself into Aiden's.

Aiden was silent for a moment when he caught the woman's body. After that he became aware of the warmth of the woman in his arms, making his mood feel a little better.

Anya said nothing and only buried her face in Aiden's arms. She was very relieved to know that Aiden had come home. The man teased her too. Maybe Aiden wasn't mad at her anymore. Tears began to pool her eyes again, threatening to come down. It seemed like today's events had made her very sensitive. For some reason, her tears continued to flow like an endless river ...

Harris, who was standing on the edge, could only frown. He felt a little worried because they were still outside the room. He didn't want excessive sunlight to interfere with Aiden's vision. But seeing how happy Aiden was right now, Harris decided to keep his mouth shut.

”Aiden, have you forgotten our date?” Anya said while raising her head, her body was still hugging Aiden. Her eyes looked slightly red and puffy. However, in Aiden's eyes, Anya still looked very charming.

”Not. Harris has planned everything for us.” Said Aiden, releasing his hug. Then, he grabbed Anya's hand, burying her slender hand in his big hand.

When walking into the house, Anya turned slightly towards Harris and thanked him. Aiden's assistant was very reliable. He could do anything, even planning a date.

”Are you hungry?” Asked Anya as they sat on the living room sofa.

”No.” Aiden answered.

”Do you want to drink?”

”I'm not thirsty.” Aiden replied briefly.

”Then, what ...” Anya kept asking questions, unable to shut her mouth. She didn't know what made her like that, not sure if it was nervousness or fear.

”Anya,” Aiden cut her, ”What are you trying to tell me exactly?”

Anya bit her lip and her voice grew lower, ”I met Raka earlier.” He decided to tell Aiden about his meeting with Raka at the Rose Scent. She didn't want Aiden to find out about it from others and create misunderstandings between them. What's more, tomorrow Aiden would be going overseas. Anya didn't want their relationship to be awkward when Aiden was leaving.

”So?” Aiden asked, looking straight at her, ”Are you willing to part with me and come back to him?” The man's gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to dig into Anya's true heart.

Anya was flabbergasted when she heard the question. It never crossed her mind to leave Aiden and return to Raka's arms. Never once! She only told it because she didn't want to hide anything from Aiden. If she hid this, she was afraid that things would get worse.

”Not!” She said, shaking her head, ”That is not what I mean!”

”Then? Why did you meet him?” Aiden said coldly. It was not that Aiden didn't know about the meeting between Anya and Raka, but hearing that name again from Anya's mouth made the irritation in his heart come back. However, he also wanted to hear all these stories from Anya's own point of view. He wanted to know what Anya was thinking and feeling.

”I did not see him. We bumped into each other. How could I meet him on purpose? Now, I have become your wife! But that doesn't mean he won't come looking for me again. I can't stop him.” Anya said quietly. It was true that today's meeting wasn't her wish. She didn't want Aiden to misunderstand her.
