Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 473 - It’s My Turn

Anya bursted into laughter at Ivan's words, but tears flowed from her eyes even more profusely. Everyone said that she could live a better life without this child after divorcing from Aiden.

But did anyone even bother to ask what she really wanted?

How could they decide so easily that this was the best for her, without asking her feelings?

"You all say this is the best for me. Divorce is better for me, being childless is better for me. This is just plain ridiculous…" Anya whispered in a low voice then she got up from her seat.

There was no point for her to stay any longer.

Nobody wanted to help her.

Anya opened the door to Ivan's room and left without saying goodbye.

Ivan had never seen her like this.

The girl he knew was always cheerful, strong and optimistic.

No matter what hindrances and hurdles she had to face, Anya always endured with a smile on her face.

But this time, Anya couldn't hide her sadness.

She seemed to have given up and could not hold on anymore.

But Ivan couldn't do anything about it. He didn't even dare to tell Anya that Aiden currently locked Bima and Maria in the Atmajaya family house because they didn't want them both to hurt Anya.

On the way home, Anya leaned against the window and looked out with a blank stare.

She didn't understand why everyone decided it was the best for her?

Why couldn't she make decisions for her own life?

They all hurt her with the excuse of wanting the best for her, but no one cared about what Anya wanted.

In the evening, Anya called her mother and said, "Mother, I have agreed to divorce. But I don't know how to persuade Aiden to let me keep this child,"

"Get out of the house, without bringing anything, without a penny from Aiden. I'm going to sell the house you bought. You can use it to study and live abroad," Diana said very firmly. "As women, we can survive alone without the help of men. We are strong women."

"If you sell the house, where will you live when you come back?" Anya asked worriedly.

"I can live anywhere. I can also stay at Esther's place and pay the rent," Diana said calmly.

"But…"

"Are you worried that your mother lives with me? We are close friends. Besides, I don't have anything to do either. I can help your mother in the park. That will be great fun," Esther immediately took over Diana's cell phone.

"Mrs. Esther, thank you," Anya said gratefully.

"Why are you so polite to me? Because of you, I was able to continue working in the perfume industry. You are the one who raises my spirits. I really admire you. Anya, you have to think about your child. Your mother loves you so much that she said that you can decide according to your feelings. But I also don't recommend that you give birth to the child," Esther said.

Anya had heard these words many times. Almost everyone said that a childless divorce was the best decision.

"I want this child. After that, I will devote my life to my career and this child," Anya was already hurt so deeply. After this divorce, she might be unable to fall in love anymore.

She would rather shut down her feelings than feel this much pain.

"Anya, I suggested this because I was worried about you. You are still very young and will meet many people in the future…"

"No matter how many people I'll meet, they are not Aiden. I only love him," Anya immediately interrupted Esther's words.

Esther took a deep breath and pushed the cellphone away from her ear, but Anya could still hear her voice. "Sis Diana, I can't persuade her."

"Anya, no matter what decision you make, mother will support you. If you want to abort the child and study abroad, mom will work hard and make money to support you. If the Atmajaya Family agrees that you give birth to the child and take them with you, I will come with you abroad and help you to look after the child. We can rent out the park. I can live without a garden, but I can't live without you," Diana said calmly.

Anya was deeply moved. Her mother had thought all that for her.

But Anya didn't have the confidence to persuade Aiden.

"Thank you mom. I'll try to talk to Aiden again. I'll call you again."

"Do you want me to come back?"

"No need. Your treatment went smoothly and your condition is getting better. I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle my own problems. Don't worry," Anya didn't want to interfere with her mother's recovery.

This opportunity was very valuable. Her mother was able to regain her sense of smell and Anya didn't want to be a hindrance to her.

…

One week later, Raka called Anya and told her about Deny's surgery schedule.

"The operation is scheduled for December 24, in the morning. Do you have time that day?" Raka asked.

"I will come," Anya replied.

"By the way, have you seen Tara recently? Nico said she moved out from his house and returned to her own," Raka said.

"Hah? Since when?" Anya had just realized that it had been a few days that she had not seen Tara.

"Nico said Tara heard the news that the Atmajaya family forced you to abort your pregnancy by sending you to the operating room without your permission. She felt that the Atmajaya family was so complicated that she immediately tidied up all her belongings and fled from Nico's house. She'd been avoiding Nico for two weeks. Lately, the Atmajaya family are worried about your divorce from Aiden so Nico can't tell his family that Tara has left his house," Raka said from the phone.

"I'm going to see Tara today and call Nico tonight," Anya didn't want her divorce to be the reason for Tara and Nico's separation.

She hung up and called Tara right away. "Tara, do you want to have lunch together? I will tell Mrs. Hana to cook some,"

"Ah? I'm busy lately. Even though I really miss Mrs. Hana's cooking, I don't have time," as soon as she picked up the phone, Tara immediately rejected.

"No wonder I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you. Eating alone is very boring. I'll bring lunch to your clinic, okay?" Anya said on purpose.

"If you want to help Nico, don't come here. If you really miss me and want to bring me food, of course I will welcome you," Tara sneered.

Anya knew Tara very well. As long as there was food as a bribe, negotiating with Tara would be easy.

"Don't worry, I won't help anyone by the name of Atmajaya," Anya whispered.

"Then come. I want fried rice, fried chicken, and half-cooked fried egg. If you can, bring me chicken wings for a snack. I'm too busy to have a good meal lately. Looks like there's only water in my guts," Tara pretended to be pitiful.

"I will ask Mrs. Hana to cook it. If I can't, I'll buy it. Wait for me," as soon as she finished calling, Anya immediately looked for Hana.

Hana knew that Tara was a food lover so she cooked a variety of delicious food for her and Anya. The maid wrapped it into several boxes since she made so many dishes.

Anya's arrival made Tara feel happy, even more so when she came with food. "Woah! This is too much! We won't be able to finish it,"

"How could you say that? I think you will wipe everything clean," Anya laughed.

"Mrs. Hana really loves me. Is this also for my dinner?" Tara's eyes sparkled very brightly.

"Yes. Mrs. Hana prepared dinner for you too. Don't forget to heat it up before eating," Anya said, looking at Tara. "If you don't move out, you can eat Mrs. Hana's food every day."

"Should I wait for them to kick me out? I feel like my turn will come after you. I can't stay there any longer," Tara said.
