Chapter 598 - Hiding Something (2/2)

Aiden thought for a moment and said, ”If I don't work in my office anymore and start living by growing strawberries and selling flowers, will I be able to make ends meet?”

”Of course you can,” Anya laughed. ”Don't you want to work at the company anymore?”

”I want to move to a village and live a quiet, peaceful life with you,” Aiden laughed too.

Anya remembered what Lanny said earlier and decided to ask Aiden about it. ”Aiden, Aunt Lanny said she often saw you going to the bus stop. Who are you waiting for there?”

”You...” Aiden replied.

Anya felt her eyes heating up. Aiden was really waiting for her. ”Is there another place you go to besides that stop?”

”I sat in the Ferris wheel until dawn on your birthday last year. And when I came home, I had a fever,” Aiden said.

”Is there more?” Anya asked with tears streaming down her face.

”I went to Mid Valley, where we first dated. Do you remember?” Aiden asked.

Anya nodded. She still remembered that they made love in the car while visiting Mid Valley.

”I was waiting in those places, hoping that you will come back one day. I know you will come back to me again,” Aiden said with a smile.

Anya felt her throat tighten. She turned and looked at Aiden. ”Have you missed me in the last two years?”

Aiden nodded. ”I miss you so much.”

”I miss you too. But I keep blaming you for what happened two years ago. I've really missed you and thought that you have forgotten me,” Anya said, crying.

Aiden got off the bike and hugged her.

Anya could only bury her face in Aiden's arms. Her little hands were wrapped around the man's waist as she continued to cry like a child.

Two years had passed, Aiden never left her mind.

She would always wonder whether Aiden missed her as much as she missed him.

Did Aiden still love her as much as she loved him?

Anya only realized that Aiden was also thinking about her now.

The man had been waiting for her to come back to his side.

Their hearts might still bleed from the gaping wounds, but at least they were trying to treat it together now.

Aiden kissed the tears on Anya's face and said, ”Don't cry. We'll never be apart again.”

”No matter what, you shouldn't treat me like two years ago. I will face everything with you. Never hide anything from me again. Do you understand?” Anya shouted.

Two years ago, Aiden decided to keep his mouth shut to protect Anya. He divorced her and asked her to abort their child because he really loved her.

It was Aiden who carried all the burdens alone. But the love and marriage that Anya wanted was not like this.

Anya hoped that Aiden would share his burden with her, face the hardship or run away together.

Aiden thought about his eyes that might never see again and asked with a smile, ”If I can't see again like before, can't see your smile and your beauty, do you still love me?”

Anya immediately stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Aiden's eyes instinctively, just like when Aiden was still unable to see. When she saw the man's lashes swaying slowly, Anya let out a sigh of relief.

”Don't say that, your eyes are fine. Even if we can't hear or see from old age, I will still love you. If I can't see, at least I can still hear your voice and be by your side. And if I can't hear, at least I'll keep looking at you,” Anya said with tears streaming down her face.

Aiden wiped the tears gently. ”Anya, I want to be with you until death do us part. I want to love you and live with you forever. And when you think of me one day, I want you to think of all the good memories about us.”

When she heard Aiden's words, Anya was worried. ”Aiden, are you hiding something from me?”
