Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 453 - Before The New Year



Aiden's body was stiff. He didn't move at all.

When he heard Anya's voice, his heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.

​​

His hands were clenched tightly that his nails cut his palms. Only then could he refrain from embracing the woman he loved.

"I am busy. If there's nothing else, go to sleep first. Don't wait for me," Aiden said in a low voice.

Anya's eyes felt hot as she listened to her cold husband. "Aiden, I know it's nearing the end of the year and you are very busy. I won't bother you. But I really miss you. You always come home after I sleep. As soon as I woke up, you already went back to the office. It's been a long time since I saw you."

Aiden tried hard to restrain himself. When he could no longer bear it, he put away Anya's hand that hugged his waist. "If you know I'm busy, you should take care of yourself. Don't keep making things difficult for me,"

Aiden's strength was too great that Anya staggered backwards and her back hit the bookshelf. The woman immediately grinned softly and tears pooled back in her eyes.

Aiden couldn't take another look and looked away. He was afraid that he would melt when he saw Anya. He had tried really hard to hold back.

"Since Keara's engagement ended, you changed. I just wanted to ask you this, Aiden, do you love me?" Anya asked.

'I love you Anya! I really really love you!'

'I love you more than my life, more than anything in this world!'

The words continued in his heart, but his mouth spoke something else. "Go to sleep. Don't look for trouble!"

"Looking for trouble? You went out for drinks with Keara and said that I was just her replacement. Aiden, actually when did we first meet? Why did you remember me but I didn't?" Anya decided that she had to make things clear right now.

"Last year in february, your mother asked me to go to her garden to discuss evictions. I saw you for the first time in that park," Aiden did not hide the truth. Indeed, that was the first time he had met Anya. It was the first time he fell in love with Anya.

"So, I really am Keara's replacement? You married me because I look like Keara…" Anya walked towards the door with a bitter smile on her face. After a few steps, she suddenly stopped. "What do you want now? Do you want to divorce me and come back to her?"

Aiden didn't say anything, but he also didn't refute Anya's question.

Anya could only lift her head and laugh loudly. She couldn't help herself. Although laughter could be heard from her mouth, her face was already covered with tears.

In the end, she was just a substitute. It turned out that Aiden had seen her face before and married her just because of that damn face.

Why didn't he say it before?

Why did he just admit it now?

Anya didn't have the courage to ask, but if she wasn't pregnant, would Aiden really divorce her?

She felt that she couldn't understand Aiden anymore. Was his tenderness all this time fake too?

Aiden looked disgusted when he saw Keara before, but why did everything change just because Keara canceled her engagement?

If it's true that Aiden's tenderness and love for her was fake, then was Aiden's hatred for Keara also fake?

Did Aiden just want to hide his true feelings?

Was Aiden just trying to refuse to admit that he still actually loved Keara?

If this was true, then what could Anya do?

Keara wouldn't just give up. She even came to their doorsteps today.

Anya didn't know what Keara would do after this.

Anya returned to her room without saying anything. She could only lie down, curled up as if trying to protect herself. She held onto the blanket tightly as her shoulders shook with tears that she could no longer hold back.

Aiden could only stand in front of the door, listening to the sound of tears from inside. His hand was on the doorknob, but he couldn't open it.

He wanted to kiss Anya, hug her and comfort her. He wanted to do everything for Anya.

But the result of DNA testing had stopped his steps.

The tears made Anya tired and finally fell asleep in her sleep.

Aiden returned to the room after Anya fell asleep. He sat beside the bed, holding Anya's small hand gently. He could only stare at his wife's face until dawn arrived, without being able to do anything to make the woman he loved happy.

The next morning, when Aiden came down from his room, Hana saw his eyes red. "Sir, did you sleep late last night?"

"Sis Maria will move here from today and look after Anya. I've been very busy lately and tonight I can't go home," Aiden answered.

Hana was silent for a moment. "Sir, if you don't come back, Anya will be very sad."

Aiden just looked at Hana, making her surprised and realized that she had spoken wrong. Hana immediately tried to change the subject. "I will explain to Anya that the company is busy at the end of the year. Don't worry, sir. I will also take care of her,"

"Hmm…" Aiden nodded and sat down at the dining table.

"Aren't you coming back tonight? Or you won't come back forever?" Anya's voice was suddenly heard.

She was still wearing her white pajamas yesterday. Her face looked pale. The pajamas she was wearing were a little too big, making her body look even smaller.

"Why don't you use sandals?" Aiden's gaze was fixed on Anya's feet. "You are not a child anymore. You have to learn to take care of yourself. I can't just be beside you all the time,"

"It's impossible for you to be by my side all my life. That's why you want me to get used to it now, don't you? Until when are you going to do this to me?" Anya's eyes turn red.

Hana immediately took a pair of sandals for Anya, but Anya didn't want to wear them. She stood there, looked at Aiden, forcing him to answer.

"Before the new year," Aiden picked up his jacket. Without touching the food, he went straight to the door.

Anya could only sit on the floor and cry when Aiden left her.

"Anya, the floor is cold. Let's get up quickly," Hana immediately panicked and helped Anya to her feet.

Hana helped Anya to sit on the sofa and let her cry until she calmed down. Anya then returned to her room later.

"Raka, I want to ask for help," Anya immediately called Raka, asking for his help.

Hearing Anya's hoarse voice, Raka immediately sounded worried. "Anya, what's wrong with you? What's the problem?"

"Can you help me investigate Aiden's kidnapping? I'm afraid that it was my mother who did it," Anya said, crying.

"Why did your mother kidnap Aiden?" Raka asked.

"My mother once mistook Aiden for Ivan. Can you help me?" Anya begged Raka, making the man unable to refuse.

"Don't cry. I will help you. But you have to tell me, what really happened?"

"After Keara canceled her engagement to Ivan, she kept trying to get close to Aiden. She told me that it was mom who asked someone to kidnap Aiden. Now Aiden wants a divorce from me. Even though he didn't say it to me, I know it and I can feel it coming," Anya's voice sounded weak.

"What?! Anya, I will immediately have someone investigate it. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Raka. I don't know who to ask for help. I can only ask you for help," Anya cried so hard.

"I'm glad you still remember me," Raka said. "Anya, what if your mother really did it?"
