Chapter 493 - Belongings (1/2)
Aiden pressed the bridge of his nose, hoping to ease the burden on his mind. Then he said bitterly, ”I never thought of that.”
”But that's what you did...” Anya whispered in a low voice. She felt like she was exhausted. However, her tears were still flowing somehow. ”I love you very much and hope that our relationship can last. But in the end, I can't have you,”
”Anya...” when he heard Anya's voice faltering a little, Aiden knew she was crying.
His heart was broken too, devastated and would never be able to return as a whole again.
He wanted to hug Anya and protect her. He wanted to say how much he loved Anya. He wanted to say how devastated he felt when their child died.
He wanted to say that he regretted everything…
Aiden blamed himself for not realizing that something had happened and couldn't save Anya in time.
Three DNA test results had crushed his hopes.
So when Bima said that Maria's child had a birthmark on her chest and asked Aiden to see it in person, Aiden was easily fooled.
He seemed to have new hope, not knowing that hope was just a mere emptiness.
Plus, Harris called hum from Hong Kong saying that Nadine didn't keep her promise and didn't show up.
All his hopes had been crushed. No photo of the birthmark, no Nadine to be a witness.
Apart from giving Anya freedom, what else could Aiden do for Anya?
”Get out of here...” Anya's voice sounded tired.
Aiden stood at the door for a long time. He leaned against the door, listened to the sound of sobs from inside and closed his eyes.
”Sir, would you like to come in?” The guard at the door asked.
Aiden shook his head. He turned and walked toward the elevator.
From morning, Tara was so busy that she finally got all her work done by lunchtime.
”Anya, have you eaten? I'll be there now,” Tara said from the phone.
”I have eaten. You must be tired after a busy day. Don't come here. Just rest. Don't worry about me,” Anya said.
”Okay, then you rest. I will bring you sweet potatoes tonight.”
”Hmm...” Anya muttered.
After ending the call, Tara went to her break room and called Nico.
Nico had just finished work and was about to eat lunch. When he saw Tara calling him, he immediately picked up the call without waiting long.
”Tara, are you resting? You miss me, don't you?” Nico teased.
Tara rolled her eyes and said, ”Nico, help me.”
”I'll do anything for you. I will even climb mountains too…” Nico would really fight for anything for Tara. But he said jokingly so as not to make the atmosphere awkward.
”Go to Anya's house and get all her stuff,” Tara said.
Nico was silent for a moment. ”Alright. I'll be there this afternoon.”
”Anya said she already tidied up all her belongings and kept them in a suitcase in her room. If you can't find it, ask Mrs. Hana.”
Nico ended the call and immediately looked for Aiden.
