Chapter 971 - Keeping Your Distance (1/2)

”Alright, I'll be going home first. By the way, do you need my help to investigate the girl Aksa is referring to?” Raisa asked before she went home.

”No need. You are busy taking care of Arka and Sabrina's wedding. I've troubled you. Let me find out and meet the girl tomorrow. I wonder what kind of girl dares to lie to my son.”

Anya and Raisa both agree that the girl who borrowed 1 billion from Aksa is a fraud.

As a mother, Anya feels that she is capable of handling this issue.

The most important thing right now is to ask clearly what really happened to Adrian and Bella.

After Raisa left, Anya sat on the sofa for a while thinking. She was trying to string words together, how to ask Adrian this without hurting his heart.

But before she could think, Adrian suddenly came home.

”Mother, are you looking for me?” Adrian entered the house carrying a box of cherries.

Seeing the cherries, Anya immediately ordered her maid to wash the fruit and send it to Adel and Bella upstairs. The other half was served before her and Adrian.

When Aiden came back, he saw Anya and Adrian eating fruit together on the sofa.

”Woah, aren't you afraid of getting fat?” Aiden asked on purpose.

Anya laughs seeing her husband teasing her. ”Eating fruit will not make me fat.”

”Cherry? Did Adrian buy it?” Aiden asked with a smile.

For twenty-four years, Adrian thinks that Anya and Aiden are his parents. Even though he already knows his past and true identity, he still considers Anya and Aiden as his parents. He's not angry and disappointed with the two of them.

According to him, Aiden and Anya are the best parents he could get.

To him, it didn't matter what their relationship was. What was more important was what Adrian felt in his heart.

”Dad, come eat with us,” Adrian greeted him.

”I'll take one. You guys talk first. I'll go upstairs and take a shower.” Aiden picked up a cherry and then went upstairs.

”Mother, it has been quite a while. Are you done thinking about what you want to ask?” Adrian looked at Anya with a smile.

Anya looks a little embarrassed because Adrian can clearly see that Anya wants to ask something. After that, she said, ”I'm just too embarrassed to ask.”

”Grandpa wants to set me up with Maya and force you? Is that it?” Adrian asked.

Adrian is a smart and understanding child. He could see that his mother looked doubtful and panicked so he knew that something was bothering his mother.

”Your grandfather did intend to do that and said it over and over. Who told you to be so amazing? Your grandfather doesn't want you to be snatched by a girl from another family so he wants to set you up with Maya,” Anya said with a smile.

Adrian laughed at his mother's words. ”I know this family has been very good at raising me from a young age. Grandpa wants me to repay your kindness by marrying Maya. What do you think?”

”I respect all your decisions. I just want you to marry the woman you love and live together forever with her. Forever is not a short time and being with someone you don't love can be very painful. You and I are blood related. I just hope you can live happily. There is no need to return the favor to me or the Atmajaya Family. If you want to return the favor, live happily. That will be the best for me,” Anya said while holding Adrian's hand.

Her words touched Adrian's deepest heart. ”I will live happily and marry the girl of my choice. I will live with her forever and have a family as happy as ours. I won't let you and dad worry about me.”
