Chapter 178 - The One In My Heart (1/2)

”Anya, I heard you just launched your perfume and it was sold out. Congratulations!” Raka said it sincerely.

They were standing at the door of the Aiden House. The lights in front of Aiden's house made the shadow of his body look long.

Time seemed to go back to three years ago. In the summer, they held hands while walking along the lake. They chased in the flower garden and kissed under the bergamot tree.

But time couldn't come back. The future would continue. They had their own lives and some things must be forgotten, including their past.

”Raka, I'm very happy to be able to share this joy with you. My perfume sells well and the customer response is very good.” Said Anya with a smile, ”I'm one step closer to my dream.”

”I know. You worked so hard. I know you will succeed.” The smile on Raka's face suddenly froze when he saw the wound on Anya's forehead, ”Are you hurt?”

Raka reached out his hand to touch Anya's forehead.

From the second floor's window, Aiden witnessed all of this. He really wanted to run down and twist Raka's hand. Seeing Raka's hand that was about to touch Anya's head, Aiden couldn't help himself and tightly clenched his fist.

Anya immediately stepped back and avoided Raka's helping hand. She laughed lightly and said, ”I'm fine!”

Raka's hand stuck in the air awkwardly. He trembled slightly, then pulled his hand back, ”How did you get hurt on your head?”

”Someone came and made a scene at the shop today. I accidentally got hit by the perfume bottle. My forehead is only slightly swollen. It's not a big problem.” Said Anya while smiling faintly, ”Aiden is at home. I won't invite you in. How about we chat in the park for a bit?”

”Okay.” Raka also felt that standing in front of the house was not the right decision. If someone took their picture while they were standing together, strange gossip would emerge and damage Anya's reputation.

Raka himself was a single man. No one would insult him. But Anya was different. Anya was someone's wife. Or rather, everyone knew her as Aiden's lover. If she was seen alone with another man ...

Anya walked first in front of Raka and Raka followed her from behind.

From a distance, Anya saw a golden swing. A swing that Aiden made for her.

She sat on the swing and held the pole with a smile on her face, ”Aiden made this swing for me.” She said.

Raka walked behind the swing and pushed Anya's body slowly. They seem to go back to their childhood, when they were two close friends.

”Is he nice to you?” Raka asked.

”Aiden respects me, supports me and frees me to do whatever I want. He doesn't restrain me. He wasn't even embarrassed when he found out that I was working part time. Aiden is a good man.” Anya said with a happy smile on her face.

”Anya, marriage to a rich family is not as simple as you think. Aiden must want something from you so he wants to marry you. Even though I still don't know, I'll keep trying to find it.” Raka said in a serious voice.

Anya smiled as she shook her head, ”The story between me and Aiden is a little complicated, but I know he is sincere to me. I was just a poor student and my mother was in debt. What can he get from me?”

”I have no proof right now so you won't believe me. But don't believe him too quickly. Even though we can't be together, I still wish you all the best. I want you to be happy.” Raka replied.

”We grew up together. When you were a child, you took care of me like your own sister. You protected me when my father hit me. Our youth were beautiful, but the situation is different now. At the hospital, Raisa set me up. But you did not stand up for me and try to straighten it out like a brother. You even challenged Aiden and corner him so he can divorce me. I'm really mad at you.”

”You still visited me when I was sick, even though you knew Aiden would be mad at you. I was touched at that time. I thought it was the only chance to help you regain your freedom. That's why I provoked Aiden. I'm sorry.” Raka lowered his head in shame.

Anya's heart felt very calm. She knew Raka would never harm her. Whatever Raka did, he did it for Anya.
