Chapter 633 - Family Tree (1/2)
”Anya, I love you too. Promise me you'll never leave me,” Aiden said as he held Anya's face with both hands.
Since the incident that happened to them, Aiden often said things like this to her. He repeatedly asked Anya to promise him not to leave him.
Seeing Natali pointing her gun at Anya caused Aiden a trauma of his own.
He was afraid that Anya would leave him like two years ago.
He was afraid that Anya would leave him forever.
He was afraid of losing Anya.
When Natali aimed the gun to kill Anya, Aiden immediately protected her without the slightest hesitation. He didn't care if he had to get shot.
Aiden chewed Anya's lips gently. His eyes were slightly open, staring at his wife's very charming face.
Anya's face flushed as she looked at him with a dreamy gaze and her breathing became faster.
That night, Aiden showed his love for Anya in the most gentle way.
Like a gentle stream of breeze caressing one's skin, like a drizzle of raindrops landing on the ground, giving life to everything.
Anya felt incredibly happy in this life. Being able to feel how it was like to be loved by a sincere man like Aiden made her life feel so perfect.
That night, she slept with a smile on her face.
…
Seeing Anya asleep, Aiden covered her and then went to the bathroom. After leaving the bathroom, he checked the sales results from Iris via his cell phone.
Based on Harris' report, he knew that Anya released her homemade perfume from the competition at the same time as Keara.
This year, the sales records of the three perfume shops located in the Atmajaya Group mall were led by Keara's Parfume, followed by Amore, and then Iris in the lowest.
Amore's sales rate had decreased quite dramatically because of Imel's case and her arrest. But Diana's perfume sales were still going.
Iris had even worse sales. The new product they launched was very similar to Keara's, but it cost a lot more.
In the end, many customers chose to buy perfume from Keara's Parfume.
Aiden's eyes looked a little dim when he saw the sales results.
He didn't think that Keara would throw away her shame and did it. Apart from stealing Anya's perfume recipe and using it in the competition, she also launched the same perfume and stole all of Iris' customers for a cheaper price.
But Keara didn't know one thing.
Anya already knew everything!
Anya already knew that Mila had become Keara's accomplice. She knew that Mila had betrayed her and stole her perfume's recipe.
…
The next morning, Nico and Tara came for breakfast as usual, as did Nadine and Harris.
In the middle of breakfast, Nadine told them that someone came and wanted to match their child with the Atmajaya family. She hoped that by telling all this, Aiden would help her.
”I guess...” Before Nico could continue, Tara immediately closed his mouth and glared at him sharply. She knew Nico didn't like Harris as his sister's partner.
After she knew Nico and lived with him for quite a while, Tara could already guess what Nico was going to say. Her fiance would only say bad things.
Nico immediately changed his mind because of Tara's creepy gaze. He didn't want Tara to reject him and retract her decision to accept his proposal after he painstakingly tried his best for it.
Yesterday's proposal was like a roller coaster for Nico. He didn't want to lose Tara just because of his stupid mouth!
”I think you must do something soon, uncle. Nadine and I don't have a father. You are our guardian. We'll leave everything to you,” said Nico at last.
”Leave it all to me? When I told you to marry Raisa, you refused,” Aiden said coldly.
”Uncle, don't talk about the past. Raisa is my aunt now. After all, there's only Tara in my heart. I wouldn't want to be with any other woman than her.” Nico didn't miss this opportunity to openly show his love for Tara.
Nadine shivered all over her body when she heard her brother's words. ”Jeez,” she muttered.
Tara covered her face shyly. She felt a little regretful that she had accepted this shameless man as her future husband.
Meanwhile, Anya just laughed at Nico's silly face.
”Nico and I, and Ivan too, have experienced how it's like to be trapped in an arranged marriage that we didn't want. But we are men. Meanwhile, Nadine is a girl. If her engagement fails one day, everyone will talk about it. I will not let Nadine experience what I felt,” said Aiden.
