Chapter 452 - Not His Daughter

It was at that moment, Harris finally realized. Although Aiden refused to admit the results of the two DNA tests and wanted another test before accepting the truth, he actually tried to accept everything and prepared himself to part with Anya.

Anya was the only person who didn't know anything. She couldn't even prepare herself for this separation. The remaining one month was not to spend her last days happily, but to make her sad and her feelings for Aiden even worse. That way, Anya would leave Aiden.

Injuring someone he cared about so much, Harris couldn't imagine how much pain Aiden was feeling right now.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Sir, is the tape authentic?" Harris asked.

"Hmm…" Aiden didn't dodge.

Keara deliberately wanted to get him drunk and asked about Anya. But in truth, Aiden wasn't drunk. He only used Keara to make Anya sad.

He did something he didn't want.

Of course, after getting the tape, Keara couldn't help herself and went straight to Anya.

"Sir, if you are preparing for separation, you can use other reasons. It doesn't have to be like this. Just imagine how hurt Madame must have been when she was referred to as a substitute. If you divorce from Madame, maybe she will never see you again for life," Harris tried to advise Aiden.

Aiden's deep eyes seemed to lose their radiance.

"I know Anya loves me very much and trusts me completely. Only Keara could hurt her heart, only Keara could make her sad and give up on this marriage," Aiden knew Anya so deeply. He knows what could make Anya feel hurt.

This was the only way he knew.

"Sir, would you not consider being honest with your wife? Maybe Madame is not as fragile as we imagine. Maybe Madame can deal with it," Harris said.

"I know that Anya is not the daughter of Deny and Diana. Her mother also knows. All this time, I thought Anya was Galih and Indah's daughter…" Aiden's gaze was filled with pain. He did not think that Anya was the daughter of his own brother.

Anya's dream was to become a perfumeur and she was very talented in this field. Knowing the truth would only make Anya feel even more sick.

It's okay for Anya to hate him, as long as Aiden could protect Anya's dreams.

"Sir, what are you planning to do next?" Harris asked.

Aiden whispered a few words, making Harris look very surprised.

But he couldn't do anything. He had tried to persuade Aiden, but the man continued to insist. Harris could only be silent when he saw that the marriage of two people sincerely in love with each other was slowly being destroyed.

…

Anya insisted on waiting in the family room for Aiden to return.

Lately, Aiden left early in the morning and came home late at night. Anya didn't even have time to see her husband's face.

She didn't want Keara's words to make her heart waver so she decided to ask Aiden directly.

Around eleven in the evening, the air grew colder. Hana was worried and brought a blanket for Anya.

Anya smiled as she accepted it. "Mrs. Hana, go to sleep first. I want to wait for Aiden,"

Hana nodded and gave a cup of warm tea to Anya so that she wouldn't get cold while waiting.

The room was actually not so cold that it would make people sick. But currently, Anya was pregnant and her health was not good enough. That's why Hana was worried.

After leaving the family room, Hana immediately hid in her room and phoned Aiden quietly.

"Sir, Anya insists on waiting for you to return home. She's sitting on the sofa in the living room, even though it was raining heavily tonight. I'm worried that Anya will fall sick. When are you coming home?" Hana asked with worry.

Aiden knew that he couldn't keep dodging like this. Anya was very stubborn and no one could persuade her.

"I'm on my way," Aiden replied.

"Okay, I'll tell her," as soon as she hung up the phone, Hana immediately told Anya happily. "Anya, Aiden is on his way home,"

Anya was immediately happy to hear that. "Mrs. Hana, you can rest first. I'll be waiting for him,"

"If you need anything, please call me," Hana was finally able to return to her room calmly.

In the last few days, the rain had continued to soak the city, making the temperature cooler than ever.

But the rain didn't make Anya feel sad. Her husband would be home soon!

Anya turned to the window and saw a drizzle wetting the ground. She brought the blanket given by Hana to cover her whole body and walked towards the garden's terrace.

When Aiden came home, he saw Anya standing on the terrace looking up at the sky. Her hand reached out to touch the water that continued to pour from the sky, her face was looking soft with a faint smile.

Anya liked the rain. Somehow the smell of rain made her heart calm.

She was immersed in her own world until she didn't realize that Aiden was already beside her.

"Aiden, you've come home," Anya immediately hugged Aiden. Her hands that were cold from rain water touched Aiden's clothes. "You are very warm..."

Aiden looked at his wife standing in front of him. He really wanted to hug Anya tightly and warm her up. But his big hands pushed Anya's body viciously.

"Don't you see it's raining? What are you doing outside? If you really like being outside, don't go inside!" His voice sounded cold. There was absolutely no tenderness in it when he rebuked Anya harshly.

Anya could only remain silent in her place, looking at Aiden's back who left her. Pain filled her heart right away.

After Aiden entered the house, he did not hear footsteps. He turned and saw Anya still standing on the terrace even though the rain was getting heavier. However, Anya remained steadfast in her place and did not want to move.

Aiden's heart ached as if it was being torn apart. Seeing his wife's small body standing in a cold place, he really wanted to hug her.

Anya's hand was very cold when she held his shirt. She just wanted a warm hug from Aiden, not a stern rebuke like this.

Anya was silent as she looked at Aiden, hoping that her husband would come back to persuade her. But she could only swallow her disappointment.

Aiden was standing inside the house looking at her coldly. "If you really like being outside, just stand there until morning," then, he went upstairs without looking back.

Unconsciously, tears rolled down Anya's face. She didn't know, what did she do wrong?

What did she do to make Aiden this angry?

She walked step by step with tears still welling up.

She just realized that she was not wearing sandals so that her feet felt cold. Then, Anya remembered the baby she was carrying and immediately reacted.

Her pace was twice as fast. She entered the house and closed the door tightly before running upstairs.

After returning to her room, she took a washbowl with warm water to warm her feet. Then, she also washed her hands and face with warm water in the wastafel so that she didn't get cold.

The warm water made her body much better. After that, she came out of the bathroom and put on her warmer pajamas before meeting Aiden.

In the study, Aiden's tall body was standing in front of the window, gazing off into the distance.

Anya approached him curiously and looked straight into her husband's eyes. She didn't know what Aiden was thinking right now.

Her hands reached out to gently hug Aiden's waist. Her head rested on Aiden's back before she breathed a sigh of relief. She missed Aiden.

"Aiden, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be standing outside when it's raining like that. Our baby must be cold. I am wrong. Don't be angry…"
