Chapter 160 - Explanation (2/2)
”Aiden, what do you really want? I want to be on good terms with you, without misunderstanding, without suspicion, without cold war. Can we live in peace?” Anya whispered.
”I'm really tired. Let me go. I want to go home and calm myself down for a few days.” Anya looked at Aiden with a face drenched in tears. Then she turned and got on her bicycle.
Aiden saw Anya about to leave him. He immediately gripped Anya's bicycle wheel, restraining his wife from leaving, ”When we got married, I promised you that you can do whatever you want. I will not forbid you if you want to meet Raka.”
He iwa more afraid that Anya would leave him now and never come back. He felt that Anya would leave his life if he let her leave him this time.
”Do you think I can trust you and come home with you? You don't even understand the problems between us.” Anya didn't want to listen to Aiden's words. Her heart was really tired.
”I purposely picked you up today and told people to remove the cage so I can make up with you. I did not think your first reaction when you saw the cage was to accuse me of harming Raka. You don't believe me yourself either.” Aiden said.
Anya was stunned at Aiden's words. It's true what Aiden said. Without realizing it, she had falsely accused Aiden of doing something and made the man angry. That also caused Aiden to provoke her even more. Because Anya didn't trust him.
When they stared at each other, Nico felt uneasy, ”Uncle, Auntie, do you have to speak here? Why not just talk at home? There are lots of mosquitoes here. I could die from being bitten by a mosquito.” He said, scratching his hand. He didn't know why the two people in front of him were so calm while the mosquitoes kept biting him.
”Nobody will think you are stupid if you keep quiet. One more word came out of your mouth, I will throw you in this lake.” Aiden shouted.
”The cage has disappeared and Raka's cellphone is in your hand. You said you would drown him if he saw me again. That's why I panicked right away. If you don't, why don't you explain it? Why did you lie to me on purpose?” Anya said in a low voice. Her eyes turned red. This time, she lowered her head feeling a little guilty.
She felt guilty for not trusting her husband.
”Do I have a chance to explain? When you saw the cage disappear, you immediately accused me of injuring Raka and accusing me of being a murderer. I didn't say anything and you went straight to find him in the middle of the night. Have you ever thought about my feelings?” Aiden's voice sounded sad, ”You never understand me—no, to be precise, you never tried to understand me.”
”I really don't want to bother you. But the mosquitoes here are really fierce. I can not stand it anymore.” Nico kept grumbling when he saw Aiden and Anya not going home.
”Where is the cage now?” Anya asked, ignoring Nico's scolding.
”I crushed it and turned it into a swing for you. I put the swing near the greenhouse, beside the pool.” Said Aiden calmly.
”Huh?” Anya was speechless. She did not think that Aiden would give her a gift to make up with her. A swing in the flower garden, beside the pond.
”Raka's cell phone fell in front of the door and one of my bodyguards brought it to me. Raka came this morning and is waiting for you at the door. Maybe he dropped it at that time.” Aiden explained the truth to Anya.
”Since the misunderstanding has been cleared, let's go home. We can't keep feeding mosquitoes in this place.” Nico urged Aiden and Anya impatiently. Every now and then his hand would try to slap the mosquito that bit him.
But Nico's complaint just passed away like the wind.
”Anya, I do not forbid you to meet Raka. But if you want to meet him, I'll be with you. Do you agree?” Aiden asked. He tried to compromise for the sake of their relationship.
