Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 565 - Burned

"Did I ever say that? I'm just asking you to sleep with me, nothing more. I wouldn't do anything to you, without your permission," Aiden said with a smile.

"You are lying. I don't want to go with you," Anya immediately refused. She didn't want to hand herself to the lion's den.

"After you left yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night," Aiden said in a low voice, looking a little sad.

Diana had just picked strawberries from her garden and washed them. When she went inside, she saw Aiden washing dishes. Meanwhile, Anya was standing in front of the refrigerator, chatting with him.

Diana immediately looked pleased.

"Here, I brought strawberries." Diana gave a plate of strawberries to Anya and left the kitchen.

Anya took one and put it in her mouth. "Sweet ..."

"I want it too," Aiden said.

"I will save it for you after you wash the dishes," Anya took another fruit and was about to put it in her mouth, but Aiden went straight to her and ate the fruit in her hand.

Anya's eyes widened in surprise. Aiden took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips, took another strawberry and casually said, "Right, it's sweet."

She didn't know what Aiden meant by sweet, was it the strawberry or her lips?

Anya felt her face was hot. Aiden was so handsome, she couldn't help herself.

She might fall in love with him again.

"Aiden, can you keep your distance a little? Are you aware of our relationship now? We're divorced. We shouldn't hug or kiss," Anya said irritably.

"You are my wife," Aiden said.

"In the past ... But now we are divorced," Anya replied.

"Is it true? Where's the divorce papers? Show me," Aiden replied calmly.

Anya immediately denied with an irritated look. "I've signed the divorce papers!"

"Oh, really? Then where are the documents?"

"The documents… They're with you, right?" Anya felt a bad feeling.

"I burned it while I was drunk," Aiden replied casually, as if he hadn't done anything serious.

What did he say?

The divorce papers were burned before they were given to the court?

So, were they still husband and wife?

"I kissed my own wife, is it wrong?" After washing a bowl, Aiden placed it beside Anya and took the time to kiss her lips.

"Aiden, how can you do this to me?" Anya glared sharply.

"I didn't hand over the divorce papers because I had great doubts. Someday, when you find another guy you like, I'll put it to the test first. If he doesn't pass my assessment, I won't divorce you so you can't remarry. You have to get my consent to remarry," Aiden said.

"Oh? Is that so? Should I thank you?" Anya took a strawberry and bit it angrily, as if the the fruit was Aiden.

"You're welcome..." Aiden smiled at Anya.

"Is Harris coming today?" Anya asked.

"He will come to pick me up and return your work contract. I'm sure you don't want to sign a cancellation contract with Harris," Aiden teased.

Thinking about all the traps Harris set for her, Anya didn't dare sign anything the man gave her.

It would be better if she accepted the work contract and threw it away.

"I will work until the competition ends and all my perfume formulas will belong to Iris," Anya said.

"After you leave, you can become a parfumeur. Iris' name will not change. The perfume you make can also be sold at Iris," Aiden cleaned all the plates and cutlery, then he took a rag to clean the splashes of water on the table.

He was such a clean and tidy person that he couldn't stand it when things looked messy.

Anya looked at Aiden doing his job in a dreary.

Today, she knew very well that Aiden had come to expel Raka. The atmosphere became very awkward and embarrassing, but Aiden did all of that out of fear that Raka would snatch Anya from him.

He didn't intend to hurt Raka's heart, but he couldn't lose Anya.

Hence, he had to do whatever it took to get Anya back.

Come to think of it, Aiden was indeed the most perfect man.

"I know I'm handsome, but can you not drool when you look at me?" Aiden held the refrigerator door with one hand, trapping Anya's tiny body within.

With her back against the door, Anya could only use the plate she was carrying to avoid Aiden. There was nowhere for her to hide.

Without realizing it, Anya raised her hand to wipe her lips. "You are lying. I'm not drooling!"

"Really?" Aiden lowered his head and landed a hot kiss on her lips. He slowly deepened the kiss as seconds passed.

Anya's heart was beating very fast when Aiden kissed her. The man's hand took the plate she was carrying and placed it on the table, afraid that she would drop the plate and injure herself.

With his large body, Anya's tiny body seemed to be immersed in it. His big hand hugged her waist and brought her closer.

Anya felt Aiden was too close that her body unconsciously stiffened and her hands pushed him away.

It had been two years since they parted, but they had spent a wonderful time together and even made love for three days and two nights.

But they were on the island at that time and it would only be a memory for her to keep.

During those three days, they belonged to each other.

After leaving the island, they should've returned to their respective lives and kept their distance. However, Aiden did not keep his promise to let her go and kept coming to her life.

Anya felt embarrassed and at the same time annoyed too. This was her mother's kitchen. What if her mom came in and saw them? What if little Alisa saw them together?

Anya tried to break free, but there was a big difference in strength between women and men. No matter how much power she used, it was useless. Aiden gripped her waist tightly so that no distance could separate them.

"Aiden..." Anya felt out of breath.

Aiden's face looked very calm, but his gaze grew warmer. He thought that this was the perfect place for him — by Anya's side.

Why couldn't he hug and kiss his wife?

But Anya thought the opposite. She tried to put some distance between them, but she didn't dare to be too loud for fear that others would find out.

Her right hand rested on Aiden's chest. Even though the man's shirt prevented their skin to directly touch, Anya could still feel Aiden's crazy heartbeat.

In the end, Anya steeled her resolve and bit Aiden's lower lip, forcing the man to let her go.

But the bite made Aiden smile instead. "It's obvious you like this kiss. Why would you refuse it?"

"Aiden, you can't do this. You promised that you would give me freedom after I accompanied you for three days on the island. We've had so much fun on the island and that vacation is enough to make a wonderful memory. Now we are back in our daily routine and I don't want to get involved with you. Thank you for coming to accompany Alisa today. My mom has already cooked lunch for you. Let's just say it's paid off. You should go home," Anya immediately kicked Aiden out of the blue.
