Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 505 - Wooden House

"Thank you ma'am. Nico is on the phone. Looks like he has found Nadine," Anya replied.

"Looks like Aunt Maria's prayer has been answered. She has found her two daughters," Tara whispered.

Anya only smiled hearing that. None of this was her concern. She was no longer a member of the Atmajaya Family. She was nobody.

"Tara, let's go home..." Anya said.

Tara took over the package that Dwi brought and said goodbye to her. "Ma'am, please tell Nico that we're going home first."

Dwi immediately stopped them. She looked at Anya and said "Madame, let Young Master escort you home. I will call him now,"

"Nico still has business and has to go back to the office for a meeting. We can go home by ourselves," Anya looked at Maria's room and said, "Ma'am, please tell Ms. Maria that the mistake she wanted to redeem me wasn't something that could be solved by praying alone. If she really regrets what she did and wants to make amends, tell her to take good care of her health and apologize to me in person. I will tell her what she can do to atone for her sin."

"Madam, thank you! I will tell Mrs. Maria this!" Dwi was so moved that she wanted to shed tears.

Meanwhile, Tara could only look at Dwi in confusion from beside Anya. Maria locked herself in this house and prayed from morning to night, but Anya still didn't want to forgive her. Why did Dwi even thank her for?

"Come on, we can go home by bus!" Tara took Anya's hand and they walked towards the bus stop together.

Anya knew Tara was feeling confused, but it's bad to ask her. Anya finally spoke up first. "Tara, do you know why Mrs. Dwi thank me?"

"No, why?"

"Think again. What did I say?" Anya's hand reached out to catch the leaves falling from the tree.

"You say that praying alone is not enough to make amends. You told her to take care of her health and apologize directly to you, then you will tell her what he has to do to atone for her sins," Tara repeated Anya's words and finally realized it. "Ah! I understand. You want Aunt Maria to be well again,"

"I need her help, but she can't do it now. She must recover first," Anya saw several flower buds that were about to bloom on the tree.

Like those flowers, Anya also had to start a new life again…

"No wonder Mrs. Dwi thanked you. Have you forgiven Aunt Maria?" Tara asked.

"I can understand her feelings. She was afraid that her daughter would marry her brother-in-law. It is unethical for two people related by blood to marry each other. Plus, I was pregnant at that time. The pain she felt was no less intense than what I felt. She knelt at my feet crying the day I lost my child," Anya's eyes wandered as she recalled the past.

"Miss Maria has always been nice to me during all those times. But because of others' evil plan, she was forced to do such a cruel thing. For the past two years, she has lived with her guilt and remorse. That's why Aiden didn't punish her any more. The one to blame is the real culprit…" Anya clenched her fists tightly.

"Now, we know everything. We have to find out who did all this. That person is so cruel that you couldn't find your parents and made you lose your child. They also tried to separate you from Aiden," Tara said angrily.

"I will take revenge for my child. If all Atmajaya family members don't dare to tell Aiden the truth, I will investigate it myself," Anya said firmly.

Tara could feel the fire in Anya's heart. She was really angry and would take revenge for her child's death. However, only one question stuck in Tara's heart.

"Anya, after all these troubles are over, will you go again?" Tara asked.

"After the perfume competition ends, I will still go no matter the result. I hope I can find out the truth before the competition ends," Anya said in a low voice.

After boarding the bus, Anya and Tara sat by the window. It had been two years that Anya had not returned to this city. Many things had changed.

"Anya, is it impossible for you and Aiden..." Tara didn't dare to continue.

Anya just shook her head. "I've just started my career. I don't want to think about feelings. And you know my condition. The Atmajaya family wouldn't want to have a barren daughter-in-law like me. And I don't want to have a husband who is not honest with me,"

"Aiden didn't tell you because he was afraid you might get hurt. In this matter, all of you are victims. During these two years, do you know what changed at Aiden's house? There are no plants in the front and back garden of the house. The Iris flowers in his house were a form of his love for you. Your perfume room was still in the house, waiting for the owner to return," Tara said.

The expression on Anya's face froze when she heard that. "Did you see it for yourself?"

Tara nodded. "Mrs. Hana is still working at Aiden's house. Every now and then, she invites me and Nico to dinner,"

Anya was silent hearing that. After a while, a bitter smile appeared on her face. "I ended my relationship with him two years ago. Without children, nothing can bind us,"

"If Aiden finds out you are not his niece, do you think he will let you go?"

"I am me. If I want to go, can he stop me?" Anya said with a faint smile.

"If the Atmajaya Family doesn't dare to be honest with Aiden, do you need my help to tell him? With his help, you can investigate this matter more quickly. Maybe you can also ask him to help find your biological parents," Tara suggested. Behind this, she hoped that Aiden and Anya could get back together.

However, Anya's answer made her disappointed again. "This is a problem for the Atmajaya Family. Let them talk for themselves. If they choose to hide it, we better not interfere."

"But how can you find out the culprit? And now that you're back in Indonesia, I'm afraid that person will hurt you again," Tara looked a little uneasy.

"Just let them hurt me. With that, I can find out who did it," Anya was not the old Anya. The old Anya wouldn't have the courage to face a problem like this.

Her past and pain had made her grow up to be a confident woman. She learned to love herself in the past two years.

Tara could only surrender. "Please be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you,"

"Don't worry. I returned two months early to find out where my parents were. Luckily, I don't have a relationship with the Atmajaya family," Anya said.

"I'm relieved too. Where are you going home now?" Tara asked.

"After my divorce, my mother sold her house to pay for my living cost abroad. Now she lives in the garden house and I will live with her," Anya said.

"In the garden? Is your mother's house big enough?" Tara said.

"My mother always calls it a wooden house. But when I saw the photo, I felt that the house was more worthy of being called a villa. There are two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. The family room is quite large," Anya said with a smile.

"Villa in the garden? Did Mrs. Esther design it?" Tara asked, looking at Anya's face.

"Yes. During my two years in France, my mother rented out empty rooms to tourists on vacation for extra income," Anya took her cell phone and called her mother.

Meanwhile, Tara could only look at the smile on Anya's face while considering it. She didn't know if she should tell Anya that the house wasn't designed by Esther, but by Aiden himself.
