Chapter 597 - Strawberry Harvest

"I don't know anything," Aiden  said while kissing Anya's forehead.

Anya tilted her head and looked at him. She thought for a moment and said, "I know Mila works for Keara."

"So you know about it?" Aiden looked at Anya in surprise.

"Aiden, I have a plan..." Anya sat down and put her arm around Aiden's neck and whispered in his ear. Though no one was there, somehow Anya didn't dare take the risk of saying her plan out loud. "What do you think?"

"It's been two years I haven't seen you. You've changed a lot," Aiden pulled the blanket and covered Anya's body so that she didn't get cold.

"What do you think of the plan? Is it good?" Anya asked in a spoiled tone.

Aiden kissed her forehead gently and smiled proudly. "Do you want to sleep a little more? I'll ask Mrs. Hana to bring breakfast to the room."

"No need." Anya felt embarrassed. How could she let Hana bring her breakfast into the room?

Plus, she made love to Aiden all night long. How could she hide the storm that had ravaged the room from Hana?

Anya moved her still sore body and got up from her bed. But since she stood up too fast, she felt dizzy.

Aiden immediately held her and carried Anya to the bathroom. "Be careful."

Anya didn't move and leaned in Aiden's arms, letting the man carry her to the bathroom.

After an hour later, they came down together from the room holding hands.

Nadine and Harris had left for work after breakfast. Meanwhile, Nico and Tara arrived late since Tara woke up late.

She looked at Anya and said, "Anya, hurry up and take your vitamins. Your face looks so pale!"

"Uncle, please have some mercy on auntie," Nico deliberately said.

Anya immediately glared at Nico and replied, "Speak for yourself. You also made Tara wake up late."

Tara's face turned red like a tomato. Aiden and Anya were husband and wife. They had loved each other a long time ago and their two-year separation made them unable to stop loving each other passionately more than ever.

But she and Nico weren't married yet. They were still engaged, but they were already living together and they also made love like a husband and wife.

Tara covered her face in shame. She was really embarrassed to death.

"Auntie, don't bring up sensitive matters in the morning! Uncle said he doesn't want to work and wants to accompany you. Can you persuade him to come back to work?" Nico changed the subject.

"He said that he didn't sleep well and wanted to accompany me after two years of separation. He's been working hard and I think he needs a break. I won't send him to work," Anya took Aiden's hand and hugged him.

"Nico, your uncle has insomnia and a pretty bad headache. At least you have to help him," Tara said with a serious look.

"Uncle, don't be this cruel to me," Nico said pitifully.

"Ivan will help you," Aiden said calmly.

"Uncle Ivan is not the same as you," Nico was still unhappy even though Ivan would help him.

"Ivan is also your uncle. I've left all of my duties to him. To avoid suspicion, Harris will be his assistant." After saying that, Aiden heard his cell phone ringing at the same time as Nico's.

It turned out that Ivan had created a new chat group consisting of him, Aiden, Nico and Harris.

After everyone accepted the invitation, Nico invited Bima into the group chat and changed his name to 'The Hero and One Chickens Association.'

Bima: "Where are the chicks?"

Nico: "Here, grandpa!"

Bima: "Harris is a soldier. Ivan and Aiden are Officers."

Nico: "How about you grandpa?"

Aiden & Ivan: "King"

Nico wanted to cry reading it. Everyone had a rank but he was only a chick.

Nico: "So I'm the most useless here."

Bima: "One needs extensive knowledge. If you know you are a chick, try to keep going and getting better. Grandpa will always support you."

Nico: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Nico was deeply moved by his grandfather's words.

Ivan: "From now on, I will share about all important issues regarding the Atmajaya Group here so that we can discuss them and make decisions  together. Nico will take care of the trouble we encountered with Harris's help. Starting today, Aiden will be on leave."

When he saw this, Nico felt strange. He lifted his head and looked at Aiden. "Uncle, what does this mean?"

"Just like what Ivan said," Aiden put down his cell phone and enjoyed his breakfast quietly.

"You won't go to the office and Uncle Ivan doesn't care about the Atmajaya Group. Then who will take care of company matters?"

"We take care of it together," Aiden replied.

"Uncle Ivan doesn't want to take over the company and is just a temporary CEO until you make your return. Is it true that the decision will be taken openly?" Nico said.

Aiden nodded while getting porridge for Anya.

Anya accepted it and started to ladle the porridge into her mouth when Tara suddenly kicked her in the leg.

"What do you want to ask?" Anya said bluntly. "I want to give Aiden and myself a chance."

"I also want to take this opportunity to help Anya find her biological parents and collect some 'debts' that have not been paid," Aiden said.

"Oh, congratulations! You are back together now!" Tara smiled awkwardly.

Nico immediately looked at Anya and said, "Auntie, if you need my help, just tell me."

"Work hard and don't bother your uncle. Take good care of Tara and don't disappoint her," Anya said with a smile.

On Aiden's first day off, Anya didn't work either.

Today, they went to Diana's house and helped take care of the garden.

Aiden was wearing a casual jacket with a white t-shirt inside. It was rare for Anya to see him this relaxed while traveling. The man usually always wore a shirt and coat.

Diana heard that Aiden was taking time off from the company and accompanied Anya to prepare for a perfume competition.

Diana felt it was the right decision. They had been apart for two years and rarely got the time to be together.

This opportunity was very good for them to rebuild their relationship.

"Can you two help me harvest strawberries and send them to Lanny, the owner of the flower shop near the bus stop?" Diana immediately arranged for them to work together.

Anya immediately nodded at her mother's order, then took several boxes made of cork and led Aiden to the park.

Their apple tree still didn't bear fruit. The leaves were still rare, but the strawberries nearby were ready to be harvested.

"Need a hand?" Aiden asled.

Anya immediately gave a small scissor to him. "Hold the scissor with the right hand and the strawberry in the left. Don't touch the fruit directly for fear that it will affect the taste. You can hold the leaves or the stems."

Aiden saw Anya doing her job and imitated her.

Anya's cork box was immediately filled with lots of red strawberries.

Aiden was also able to fill the box quickly from imitating Anya's job.

When he got up and was about to pick up the empty box, he suddenly lost his eyesight.
