Chapter 526 - Mama (2/2)
The sound was followed by fireworks rising above the sky. The beautiful colors made the sky look sparkling.
Anya looked at the fireworks and thought back to her first date with Aiden.
That first date felt like a fairy tale. She was like a princess who had found her true love, her prince.
Now, Aiden asked her for a second chance.
The chance to start everything again…
Could they come back to how they used to be?
When the Ferris wheel reached its climax, Anya made up her mind to answer Aiden's wish. ”We can't go back to how we used to be,” she replied calmly.
”I'm not married, you're not married either. I still love you like before. Why can't we go back?” Aiden asked.
Suddenly, Anya's heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. She didn't know how to answer this question.
It was true that Aiden wasn't married and he was still single. The man still loved her and she too, still loved Aiden.
But why couldn't they be together?
”I... I don't love you anymore,” Anya muttered.
”What?” Aiden couldn't believe his ears.
”Aiden, I said I don't love you anymore,” Anya answered more firmly.
”Are you still blaming me?” Aiden's gaze showed sadness in his heart.
”Is it wrong if I blame you? You promised me that you would never hide anything from me. You promised me that we will fight to face anything together. But what were you doing?” Anya whispered. ”You divorced me, told me to abort my pregnancy, without telling me the reason. Was that how you respect me?”
Aiden stared at Anya speechless. Two years had passed, Anya was getting older. The old Anya wouldn't dare to say this in front of Aiden. His little wife had grown up.
”I was just trying to keep you from getting hurt. I was afraid you won't be able to accept all of them.”
”Should I be grateful for your attention? My love for you makes me hate you this much. Two years I spent hating you and it made me even weaker. Right now, the only thing I can do is stop hating you and your family,” Anya said. She averted her gaze, not wanting to look at Aiden again.
”Anya ...” Aiden stretched out his hand, trying to grab Anya's hand. But Anya immediately avoided.
”I...” before Anya could say anything, her cell phone suddenly rang. Someone called her on video call.
Anya raised her head to look at Aiden and then answered the call.
”Mama! Happy International women's day!” A pair of large, round eyes appeared on the screen.
When she heard the voice of a child saying the word 'Mama', Aiden's eyes immediately looked gloomy.
”Alisa, guess where is mama now?” Anya turned her cellphone so that Alisa could see the Ferris wheel and fireworks around Anya.
”In the Ferris wheel. There are fireworks too! Amazing!” Alisa shouted happily.
Anya turned the camera screen back on her face and smiled. ”Do you like it? Ask your papa to take you to Indonesia. Later I will take you to ride the Ferris wheel and see the fireworks, okay?”
”Okay, Mama! Alisa and papa really miss you!” Alisa said haltingly, having difficulty pronouncing the long sentence.
”Mama misses you too, honey!” Anya answered.
”Mama, I want to eat sweet potatoes and go to Grandma's garden!” Alisa said excitedly.
”Later when Alisa comes home, mom will...”
”Anya, I'm going to Indonesia on business. Alisa wants to meet you. I will bring her back to Indonesia with me. Can you take care of her for a while?” A handsome man suddenly appeared on the screen.
Aiden's eyebrows immediately furrowed at that. For some reason, he felt the man's voice sounded familiar. It seemed that he had heard that voice before.
”No problem. Alisa is also my daughter,” Anya said with a smile.
”Good evening, Mama. See you tomorrow!”
”Good evening, Alisa!”
”Anya, I will send my flight schedule to you now. I'll see you when my business is done,” the man said again before hanging up the phone.
”No problem. I can take care of Alisa when you are busy.”
”Thank you. I'll call you back later. ”
After the video call ended, Anya immediately put away her cellphone. As soon as she lifted her head, she found Aiden staring closely at her.
”Why did that child call you mama?”
