Chapter 457 - Barrier (1/2)

Anya was sitting in the car and suddenly sneezed several times. Abdi immediately felt worried and asked, ”Madame, are you alright? Are you sick?”

Anya shook her head. ”I am fine.”

She leaned against the car's window and thought deeply about the matter.

Aiden once wanted to divorce her because of his health. At that time, his eyesight could not recover and he was afraid that he could not protect Anya so he wanted to separate from her.

Anya had lived with Aiden for a long time. She understood Aiden's nature. She knew Aiden always thought things through and couldn't express it easily.

But the problem now was not with Aiden's health nor with the Atmajaya Group company. Was this all her fault?

Anya didn't know what wrong she had done and she didn't know what Aiden was hiding either.

She could only trust Aiden.

A few days ago, Aiden suddenly changed drastically. At first, she really thought that Aiden still loved Keara.

But after she calmed down, Anya felt Aiden was not the type of man to accept a woman who had betrayed him.

Ardan might still have loved his first love. Ivan too, maybe he wasn't able to forget Anya not because she was his first love, but because of his guilt for what Imel had done to Diana.

Meanwhile, Aiden was a very straight person and had high pride. How could he possibly accept Keara again after what she did?

Anya thought deeply about the matter and finally mustered up all her courage to meet Aiden at the office. She was also ready if Aiden refused her so she left a letter for Aiden.

Anya knew, if it was true that her mother was guilty, Aiden would understand everything and forgive them for he loved her beyond the past grudge.

Nobody knew better how much Diana and Anya have struggled and worked hard to survive all this time than Aiden.

Aiden would never blame or even take revenge on them.

Anya looked outside the window. It started to rain lightly.

This year, her vanilla garden would be harvested. She initially planned to sell it to Galih, but she did not want to have any contact with the Pratama Family anymore.

Finally, she looked for other buyers. Even though the price was not as high as Galih's offer, at least Anya didn't need to have any contact with the family.

She felt much calmer now.

…

Aiden was sitting in his room, stroking the perfume bottle given by Anya. This was a perfume that Anya created especially for him.

After this, Anya might not be by his side anymore. Only this perfume bottle would keep him company for the rest of his life.

Around ten in the evening, Aiden took a shower and lay down in the room inside his office.

He spent all of his time living in the office when he didn't come home.

He didn't want to go to a hotel nor return to the Atmajaya Family house. He also didn't want to live in an apartment alone. Finally, he decided to stay in the office and make himself busy with work to reduce his longing for Anya.

Without Anya beside him, Aiden couldn't sleep. He could only drown in alcohol to make all of his feelings die. Every morning, the maid cleaning Aiden's room could smell the wine's aroma filling the room.

He turned on a song, a song Anya chose as her ringtone, the one that represented them.

I want to grow old with you, continue to be in your arms ...
