Chapter 520 - Why Has It To Be This Painful? (1/2)

”Anya, I owe you. Let me redeem it and help you find your parents,” Aiden said.

Anya looked into Aiden's clear eyes and could feel his sincerity. The man really wanted to help her.

With Aiden's help, she might really find her parents faster.

”Thank you. I will send the information to you,” Anya took out her cell phone and was about to send the information her mother had told her to Aiden. When she wanted to send it, she asked, ”Is your cell phone number still the same?”

”Hmm...” Aiden replied.

”I thought you changed your number, or deleted mine. I haven't heard from you in two years,” Anya smiled bitterly and sent the information to Aiden's cell phone.

Aiden didn't know how to answer.

For two years, Aiden always paid attention to her social media even though he didn't contact her. He also went to France to visit her several times, but Anya didn't know about it.

”I rarely use my cell phone. But I never blocked you,” Aiden said.

”Aiden, haven't you looked at social media?” Anya couldn't stop herself from asking.

”I saw your social media. All the photos that you upload,” Aiden  replied.

Anya couldn't hold back her tears when she heard Aiden's answer. She lowered her head, trying to hide the tears. And when she raised her face again, she said, ”I'll block you next time.”

”Anya, don't cry. I'm waiting for your return and now I intend to tell you what really happened two years ago,” Aiden reached out his hand to caress Anya's face. But Anya immediately turned around and left Aiden's office.

She hurried toward the lift and when the doors closed, tears rolled down her face.

Once in the car, Anya leaned against the window and cried like a child.

Her brain kept telling her to never forgive Aiden, but why did her heart hurt this much?

Anya preferred Aiden to be cruel to her so she could hate him.

But if Aiden acted like this, what could she do?

She didn't want to see Aiden like this. She didn't want to see the version of Aiden she used to love.

When she returned to Iris, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Anya locked herself in the perfume room and didn't come out again.

At half past six in the afternoon, Nadine went up to the second floor and found Anya still busy in the perfume room.

Then, she tapped on the glass window.

Anya lifted her head and saw Nadine. She opened the door to the room and went out.

”What's wrong?” Anya asked with a flat expression.

”I am your assistant. If there's nothing else I can do for you, I'll go home,” Nadine pointed to the clock on the wall. ”My working hours start from 8 to 5 o'clock.”

”Go home. I don't have any more work for you,” Anya replied.

”Auntie, what time do you come home from work? Let's go home together,” Nadine said.

”I'll go home when I'm done. You can go home first. Don't wait for me,” Anya also wanted to go home early and have dinner with her mother. But she didn't want to go home with Nadine.
