Chapter 58：Previous Life (1/2)

After Nico left, Harris and Hana also left the room, leaving Aiden and Anya to eat together. Tomorrow Aiden would be out of the country for a week, so there was nothing wrong with giving them some time to enjoy their time.

Anya just realized that she was sitting very close to Aiden. Her hands were still tightly around Aiden's arms and her head rested slightly on the man's shoulders. Meanwhile, Aiden's eyes were still on her, completely ignoring Nico who left with a frown.

Anya was very surprised when she realized what her current position was. She immediately let go of Aiden's arm. Her hands tucked her hair over her ears, trying to cover up her nervousness. She wanted to pull her chair back to its original place, but Aiden's hand moved faster.

Aiden hugged the woman's waist and kept her in his current position, near him. It erased the physical distance between them, making Anya stiffen and feel even more nervous. She said haltingly, ”Come on… Let's go back to eat. The food will get cold.”

However, Aiden would not just let Anya go. His hands still hugged Anya's waist and said, ”Hmm...Am I really yours?”

”Eh?” Anya's face turned red when she heard Aiden teasing her. She immediately fled from Aiden's arms and returned to her place.

Aiden could only chuckle when he saw Anya running away from him, ”Are you making Osmanthus cake for me tonight?” He asked with a smile. Before he went abroad tomorrow, he wanted to eat Anya's cake first. He wanted his first date with Anya to be successful.

”Huh?” It seemed like Anya's brain was not working normally anymore so it was too late to understand what Aiden was saying.

”No? Do you want to be at home with me?” Aiden teased one more time.

”Ah! No, no! I'll make a cake for you!” Said Anya, her face getting flushed red.

Suddenly, Anya's cell phone rang, breaking the atmosphere of the dining room which had already melted away. An unknown number appeared on the screen. Even though Anya didn't save the number, with just one look she knew that it was Raka's number.

She didn't know where Raka got her number.

The phone kept ringing, no matter how many times it was ignored. From Anya's reaction, Aiden could already guess who was calling her. His face was grim again.

”Why isn't it picked up?” Asked Aiden. His lips were thinning as if holding back anger and his voice sounded cold.

Anya's heart skipped a beat when she heard that question. She didn't know what to answer. If she told Aiden that Raka called her, would he get even angrier?

”I don't know the number. Maybe it's just a wrong number.” Anya decided to lie. She didn't want to make Aiden angry. It was better to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

”Is it true?” Asked Aiden, looking closely at Anya's face.

”Hmm ... Let's just eat.” Said Anya.

”I don't like your ringtone.” Aiden said expressionlessly. Anya knew what Aiden meant. It wasn't the song that she used as ringtone Aiden didn't like, but the lyrics of the song. It was her favorite song with Raka, a song that was their hope to be together forever.

Together until the world separates us…

Anya still used that song. At first, she couldn't change the song because it was her memory with Raka. But after many years had passed, she continued to use the song because she was used to hearing it.

”I will change it with your favorite song. What song do you like?” Asked Anya. Her hand was gripping Aiden's, trying to calm him down so he wouldn't get angry again.

Aiden just snorted, but he didn't take his hand away. He let Anya's hand continue to hold him.

Anya immediately opened the internet and looked for a song that suited them both. A song appeared on the internet page and Anya really liked the lyrics.

I want to grow old with you, stay in your arms ...

I want to grow old with you, look into your eyes until a deep sleep envelops me...

Forever with you ...

This song was suitable for both of them. They were a husband and wife who lived together forever until death did them part. Anya didn't know what the tone of the song was, but she felt that the lyrics were a perfect fit for her and Aiden.

”How about this?” She asked, turning on the song. She studied Aiden's face carefully. A tone played softly. Like the lyrics of a very romantic song, the tone of the song was like a confession of love.

The expression on Aiden's face was calmer than before, but he still frowned. ”Whatever, that's your cell phone.”
