Chapter 149 - Cold War (1/2)

”I've brushed my teeth. I don't want to eat anymore.” Aiden said coldly.

”But Anya...”

”Mrs. Hana, I have my own reasons. Good night. Get some rest!” Aiden interrupted before Hana could finish her sentence.

Hana could only helplessly shake her head and leave Aiden's room.

Anya was still crying while scooping the food. After two spoonfuls, she didn't feel like eating anymore.

She got up and began to clear the dishes on the table. The food she had made today was left untouched. Inside, she reminded herself not to beg in front of Aiden. The more she begged, the more Aiden would look down on her.

Hana was coming down when she saw Anya clearing the table. She hurried over to her, ”Anya, your hand is injured. Don't move around too much. Let me help you.”

”What is he doing?” Anya asked in a low voice.

”Aiden just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair.” Hana said.

Anya nodded at the answer, ”Hmm… I'll go upstairs. Good evening, Mrs. Hana.”

Anya went upstairs to her room. She intended to take her belongings and move to the guest room.

As she walked towards the guest room, she saw the lights in Aiden's study were still on and the door was open. She had to pass through Aiden's study to go to her new room.

Her heart was beating fast as she held all her belongings against her chest. She took a deep breath and swiftly passed Aiden's study.

Aiden could hear Anya's footsteps. As he lifted his head, he saw Anya passing by his study, carrying things in her hands.

”Anya! Come back!” Aiden shouted.

Anya stopped walking. She just remembered Aiden could hear her footsteps so the man must know she passed his study. She took a deep breath and continued walking. After putting all her belongings in the guest room, Anya returned to Aiden's study.

”What's wrong?” Anya asked blankly. Her lips trembled slightly while her body tensed up as if she was struggling to contain her feelings.

”What are you doing? Why did you go to the guest room?” Aiden asked.

”This afternoon, you said you needed some time alone and told me to move to the guest room. I do not know what to do. If you want to divorce me, I accept it. I hope you can give me time to collect money and pay all my debt to you.” Anya calmly said.

Aiden was annoyed when he heard Anya move into the guest room. Was Nico's teaching this afternoon useless? Didn't Nico say that to persuade a man, she had to approach him by feeding or sleeping with him?

Then why did Anya do this?

Aiden had asked her not to meet Raka, but she didn't want to listen.

When Aiden asked Anya to move into the guest room, Anya immediately complied. She immediately packed up all her belongings and went to the guest room, letting a cold war break out between them.

”Why wait? As long as you call Raka, that man can immediately pay all your debts.” Aiden said with a smile. However, the smile on his face was clearly sneering at Anya.

Her eyes ached. Unconsciously, her hands were clenched tightly. Aiden's words were like a very sharp knife, stabbing right through the heart.

”It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I have nothing to do with Raka. Give me three months. I will sell my crops and pay all my debt to you. Good night.” Anya turned around without waiting for Aiden's reply and immediately ran towards the guest room.

Aiden looked very angry. His hands that were resting on the handle of the chair were clenched tightly as if they wanted to hit something.

He knew that Anya was not a strong woman. All this time, she was struggling alone because she had to. She pretended to be strong to face the world. However, being together with Aiden, she showed her fragile side. She relied on Aiden to survive.

Now, Anya put her mask back on. She pulled out her claws, knowing that Aiden was no longer on her side.

Anya chose to part with him and didn't care if Aiden divorced her. She even said she would pay all of her debts.

If indeed Anya wanted to stay away from him, then Aiden would fulfill that wish. He wanted to know how long Anya could last alone.
