Chapter 184 - Contract (2/2)
He took a document he had prepared and threw it on the coffee table in front of him, ”Anya. If you still want to be with Aiden, please sign this document.”
”What are you doing, Dad?” Maria asked in surprise.
Bima looked at Aiden, but he was still talking to Anya. ”I know my son is confused because of you, but I'm not blind. The contract is an agreement so that you can maintain your attitude. Once you act outrageously or do something that damages the good name of the Atmajaya Family and Aiden's name, you must immediately leave the Atmajaya Family without bringing a penny.”
”I didn't bring her to this place to be humiliated like this.” Aiden's eyes were sharp and his voice was sinister, ”Anya, let's go home.”
Anya took her hand away from Aiden and refused to go with him, ”Aiden, we just came. It's not polite to go home right away.”
”Then? You want to stay here and let this person embarrass you?” Aiden looked at her with pain. For some reason, his heart hurt even more when his father insulted Anya.
”Aiden, your father did this because he cares for you. He cares for you and wants to protect you.” Anya said.
Aiden already knew what Anya wanted to do and said sharply, ”Should he protect his son by hurting someone else's daughter? I will never let anyone hurt you, even if that person is my father! I won't let you sign that contract!”
Anya laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes. Those tears weren't sad tears because she was humiliated when she first came to meet her father-in-law, but tears because Aiden valued her so much, ”Aiden, I'm quite satisfied with your words. I believe you care for me. I will sign that contract and be with you for the rest of my life. Let me sign it.”
”Anya, don't you understand? I don't want you to sign it.” Aiden frowned.
”If you don't want to sign it, how can I trust you? Maybe one day you will leave Aiden with his treasure.” Bima said.
”Aiden, I signed it because I wanted to spend my whole life with you. Don't stop me.” Anya smiled, but still, her heart ached a little.
Due to her low status and rumors out there, the Atmajaya Family didn't believe her. She was just a lowly woman in their eyes.
But she really wanted to live with Aiden forever. What's the use of money? She didn't need money for herself. She didn't need money to spend. She also planned to return the money for her mother's medical treatment once she got it together.
She just wanted love. She wanted Aiden's love for her.
”You stupid. Signing a contract like this, don't you feel hurt?” Aiden hugged Anya tightly.
”If you treat me better, I will not feel sad.” Anya answered with a smile.
”There's no need to sign it. If you want to leave me someday, it must be because of my bad attitude. I'll give you enough money to live in peace for the rest of your life.”
Aiden took the contract off the table and tore it up, ”Anya is my wife. Don't embarrass her with this meaningless piece of paper. Insulting her would mean the same as insulting me. I will not let anyone hurt her, even if you are my father.”
”In the past, when you didn't want to pay ransom when I was kidnapped, that day you died in my heart. I don't have a father like you. And this time you disappoint me again.” Aiden took Anya's hand and turned towards the door, walking out of the room.
When Maria married Ardan and became part of the Atmajaya Family, Aiden was still a child. So you could say Maria was Aiden's mother figure. She saw Aiden's development from an early age and really understood his nature.
Seeing Aiden angry this time and wanting to take Anya home, Maria immediately followed him.
”Aiden, take Anya to my studio. I just made a new painting. If there is something you like, I will give it as your wedding gift.” Maria immediately stretched out her hand and held Anya's hand.
”Aiden...” Anya also tried to beg Aiden not to get angry.
”We're going back!” Aiden said coldly.
Maria looked back and saw Bima not following them. She lowered her voice and said, ”Aiden, even if you're okay, think about Anya. How could she leave without eating first?”
