Chapter 131 - False Hopes (2/2)

'Why did she have to sacrifice herself even though everyone hurt her?' Aiden muttered to himself.

He was also angry with Anya. His wife had been hurt by everyone, but the woman remained silent. She didn't even defend herself at all and made no attempt to get revenge.

”Sir, when you went abroad, Mr. Nico brings Mr. Raka to his house. Every morning, Mr. Raka stood in front of your house for a very long time.” Harris finally told what happened while Aiden left the house.

It turned out that Raka still couldn't forget his past love. He still hadn't given up on getting back with Anya.

”Do something to keep Raka busy so that he can't see Anya again.” Aiden said.

”I have already spread the news of the cooperation between Atmajaya Group and the Tedjasukmana Family, so the news must have reached the ears of the Mahendra family. I'm sure they'll be busy for a while.” Harris said.

Aiden nodded in satisfaction with all the work Harris was doing, ”Great. You can rest.”

”Sir, is there any news regarding Miss Keara?” Harris worriedly asked.

”Not yet. I've mobilized a few additional people to try to find Keara. The news should arrive soon.” As Aiden said that, he saw a figure pass through the front door of his study. He immediately hung up the phone and chased it.

No one was in the corridor. He immediately returned to his room and saw the bathroom door was still closed. The sound of water was heard from inside.

However, there were still wet footprints on the floor. Anya had been betrayed by her own traces, making Aiden notice her whereabouts.

The man guessed Anya must have been looking for him in the study after taking a shower but listened to his conversation with Harris. She must have heard that Aiden had deployed additional people to try to find Keara as quickly as possible so that she fled.

”Anya, come out. I know you've finished showering.” Aiden said from behind the bathroom's door.

Anya took a deep breath and turned off the water tap. She deliberately lingered and then came out as if nothing had happened.

”Did you call me?” Anya still asked even though she already knew why.

”Did you listen to my call again?” Aiden asked, not believing in Anya's pretense.

”Listen to what?” Anya was adamant that she didn't want to admit it.

Aiden made a gesture, called out to Anya by using his hand. Like a cute kitty Anya immediately approached when called by her owner.

Aiden stretched out his hand and Anya welcomed the hand, placing her tiny hand on top of Aiden's large palm.

”Did you hear that I ordered several people to look for Keara? Is your brain dancing wild again? You ran away so fast. Aren't you afraid to fall like last time?” Aiden jokingly said.

”I returned to the room because you were on the phone.” Anya said in a low voice.

Aiden lightly flicked Anya's forehead, ”What's in this head?”

”Nothing.” Anya replied shyly because she was caught lying.

Aiden didn't need to look for Keara secretly. Anya already knew that Aiden was trying to find her. Why was he trying to hide this from her?

”When Keara disappeared, I also lost my niece, Nadine.” Aiden asked calmly.

”Niece?” Anya asked. She had never heard of this.

All this time, she thought that Nico was the youngest member of the Atmajaya Family. Who knew that Aiden had another niece?

”If Keara is still alive, Nadine might also be alive. I'm looking for Keara because I want to know where Nadine is. Before I find Keara, don't tell this to anyone, including Nico and his mother…”

It was only now that Anya understood the situation. She immediately said, ”I'll keep it a secret. I also don't want them to feel hopes that may not go as they expected...”
