Chapter 233 - Promise Me (1/2)

Anya turned to stare at Aiden and realized that her husband's expression looked a little strange. ”Do you not want to? Having a daughter with me...”

”Ehem... ”Aiden cleared his throat slowly to hide his embarrassment. He scratched his head a little awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it to Anya.

It's not that he didn't want to have children with Anya. In fact, the thought of having a family with Anya was already in his mind. Unfortunately, Anya still had to go to college...

Then he said in a serious tone, ”It is not good to have a daughter in the Atmajaya Family.”

”Why?” Anya looked at him confused.

”Sister Maria used to have a daughter and in the end, she disappeared when she was a child. My father went to a fortune teller and said that all the girls born to the Atmajaya Family had a bad fate. After her daughter's death, my sister took Nadine home. In the end, Nadine had an accident three years ago and did not know what her fate would be like. The fortune teller said that, if the Atmajaya Family had daughters, it would be better if they were raised outside our family. For their own safety,” Aiden patiently explained.

”Do you mean the girls in the Atmajaya Family are cursed?” upon hearing that, Anya felt confused. However, she immediately grabbed her grandmother's tombstone and said, ”Grandma, I will take care of my mother. Don't worry I won't become a member of the Atmajaya Family. I hope grandmother is happy in heaven.”

Aiden immediately frowned. His little wife changed her mind so quickly. Although the fate of the girls in the Atmajaya Family was bad, it did not mean that their whole family was bad. The proof was that they were very rich and powerful.

However, he just smiled at Anya's behavior.

After leaving her grandmother's grave, they both went to Aiden's mother's grave. This was the first time Anya had met her mother-in-law.

Anya and Tara once talked about married life. Tara said Anya was very lucky because she did not have to live with her mother-in-law. Because if the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law lived together, they wouldn't be able to avoid the enmity between them.

Of course, that did not apply to understanding mothers-in-law like Maria. Too bad, Nico was not a good husband.

It was difficult for a woman to get both a good husband and mother-in-law at once. For Tara, it was just like winning the lottery.

At this moment, Anya stood in front of Aiden's mother's grave and looked at her photo. Aiden's mother looked very beautiful and elegant. Anya's first impression when she saw Aiden's mother was that she was a very friendly woman. She was definitely not a cruel woman who liked to boss her daughter-in-law around.

If only Aiden's mother was still alive, Anya would be an example of a woman who managed to 'win the lottery', getting a good husband and a good mother-in-law at once.

Aiden stood in front of his mother's grave. Not a single word was spoken from his lips. He stared straight at the photo posted in front of him.

Seeing Aiden being silent, Anya took the initiative to introduce herself. She placed the fruit and flowers she had brought and said, ”Ma'am, my name is Anya and I am Aiden's wife. I came for the first time to see you.”

Aiden saw Anya talking to her mother sincerely. While he could not say anything.

”Mother, thank you for giving birth to Aiden. I am really happy with him,” Anya was not afraid of anything. Probably because she saw the woman in the photo looked so friendly that she dared to greet her. Or because Aiden was next to her, making her feel calm.

As he raised his head, Aiden saw the sun begin to set. He said in a low voice, ”Let's go.”

Aiden had come a long way to this place, but he did not say anything to his mother. Was it because Anya was there that Aiden could not feel free to say anything?

Anya took the initiative to say, ”I will wait for you on the front. Talk to your mother first.”

”Aren't you afraid to wait alone?” Aiden looked at Anya in surprise.

Anya just realized it and immediately looked around. Waiting alone at the funeral in the afternoon was not a good idea. ”Of course I'm scared. So hurry up!”

”I do not need to say anything. Let's go home,” Aiden grabbed Anya's hand and walked out of the cemetery together.

As Aiden's hand gripped her hand, the fear that Anya felt seemed to disappear.
