Chapter 202 - "Where Are You Going?"
During these last few days, Anya had missed Aiden so much. She hoped Aiden would come home sooner, but she was also afraid to interfere with the man's work.
These past few days, she had always been careful not to have any trouble that could ruin their relationship.
??She realized that she loved Aiden and thought that Aiden also had the same feelings as her.
They loved each other…
However, reality was not like that. Aiden married her because he wanted something from her. He wanted her mother's garden.
All of his tenderness, his warmth, his care, his love…
These were all lies…
A mere pretense…
Anya's heart ached. Her tears made her vision blurry. She couldn't hold the anger in her chest. "Aiden, why have you lied to me all this time? I want a divorce from you!"
Aiden came home early because he also missed Anya. Though he was taking care of an important matter, his heart couldn't be separated from Anya.
He really missed his wife so he finished his business as soon as possible.
Who would've known that his wife suddenly wanted to leave him? He was really afraid that Anya would leave and he couldn't see her anymore.
During these past few days, he had really missed his wife like crazy.
However, when he returned, Anya asked for a divorce from him.
Aiden looked at Anya calmly. "Anya, tell me. What did I lie to you about?"
Was this about his eyes? Was it because Aiden used his eyes as an excuse to make love to Anya?
On hearing this, Anya felt a choking pain in her chest. She held her chest while glaring at Aiden. "You still don't want to be honest with me? I already know everything. You only married me because you wanted my mother's garden. How stupid am I, how could I fall in love with you."
Anya was really in an unstable state. Her feet could not trode properly so she fell on the edge of the stairs while crying uncontrollably.
"What did I do to you? What's my fault that you treat me like this?" Anya cried because of the heartache in her chest.
Aiden immediately approached her and embraced Anya's body in his arms.
The hug made Anya thrash him, but Aiden had no intention of letting go.
He stared at Anya's trembling body. "Anya, I only want you. I'm not asking you to make your mother's garden a guarantee. I don't want that garden." Aiden tried to explain patiently.
Anya lifted her head when she heard this. She didn't care that her face looked ugly because of tears. She felt really angry and disappointed. "I know you teamed up with Harris, and tricked me into giving up the garden as collateral."
Anya was not stupid. She recalled the situation and felt even more cheated on the way home from the hospital. She realized that all of this was Aiden and Harris' plan. Harris was also involved as Aiden's accomplice...
"Madame, the development project handled by the Atmajaya Group has started. Your garden doesn't belong in the area," Harris stepped forward and said politely.
"You two are working together. Do you think I'm that stupid as to believe what you say?" Anya thrashed while throwing punches to Aiden's chest and stomach.
"Stop, you will hurt your hand," Aiden held Anya's hand. He was not afraid of getting sick from Anya's beating. He was even afraid that Anya would injure her own hand.
"Let go of my hand!" Anya bit Aiden's hand that was holding her hand to release herself.
Aiden closed his eyes in pain, but did not avoid it. "If hurting me can make you calmer, take it all out. But don't leave me."
Tears rolled down the back of Aiden's hand. Anya bit Aiden's hand until she could taste the blood in her mouth.
She thought that hurting Aiden would lessen the pain in her heart. But she didn't feel relieved at all…
"Mr. Aiden said that you must have your own garden if you want to become a parfumeur. He asks the chief designer to revise the drawing and look after the flower garden for you. He has also ordered a villa in the development area. The garden behind the villa leads directly to your flower garden," Harris explained.
Anya felt so angry that she couldn't hear Harris's words. The overwhelming sadness she felt after seeing her mother's condition, the hurt she felt for Aiden, all of these were deafening her ears.
Her young age also made her feel very emotional.
In her eyes, Harris was Aiden's accomplice. Therefore, he would help Aiden to talk and always defend him.
"Are you Ivan? Are you Imel's son?"
Thinking about what Imel had done to her mother, Anya felt even more angry.
Aiden was silent in surprise when he heard Anya's question. Ivan?
"Don't pretend you didn't know it. How stupid that I couldn't recognize you for ten years. You paid for my mother's hospital and married me just for the garden. You said you wanted to help me get my mom's perfume recipe, when in fact you intended to give it to Imel."
"What do you mean?" Aiden frowned.
Why did Anya think of him as Ivan?
"Your mother hurt my family ten years ago, but you still don't want to let us go. I will never give you that perfume recipe. I will never give that garden to you. I want a divorce and I will return all your money," Anya grumbled bitterly.
Everything that happened today made her unable to think straight. She raved, thinking Aiden and Ivan were the same person.
Aiden looked at Harris in confusion and Harris returned his gaze with a similar expression.
"Was it fun working together to trick me? I already know your lies!" Anya yelled. She pushed Aiden's body and ran down the stairs carrying her bag.
She ran so fast, but Aiden embraced her waist even faster.
Seeing this, Anya fell silent again. She turned with a sad look. "You're not blind, are you? I already suspected you were only pretending to be blind. You really are a liar. I will never trust you again. Let me go."
After saying that, she brushed off Aiden's hand. Her nails unintentionally scratched Aiden's face so that there were scratch marks visible on Aiden's handsome face.
However, Aiden didn't care at all.
Aiden hugged Anya's waist tightly and whispered in her ear. "Anya, I know it's hard to believe me now. But it was dark outside. It's not safe if you go out alone."
Anya really hated Aiden because after all his lies, he still pretended to care about her.
"Don't be a hypocrite. You don't care for me! Do you also intend to kill me? If I die, you can have that garden, isn't that what you wish?" Anya said bitterly.
Aiden felt angry when he heard that. He tried to deal with Anya's anger patiently. But he couldn't stop himself when he heard Anya accuse him of wanting to kill her.
He couldn't even hurt Anya at all…
"Why are you laughing?" Anya got angrier when she saw Aiden smiling.
"I told you, you are stupid. If you doubt me, ask me directly. What you see and what you hear are not necessarily the truth. Ask your heart, are my feelings for you really fake? Do I want to marry you for a garden? Do I really want to kill you?" asked Aiden.
Anya held her head that was starting to throb in pain. Her tearful eyes stared at Aiden with a blurry gaze, "I don't know. I can't think. Aiden, if you and Ivan were the same person, I would never forgive you. Please let me go now."
