Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 233 - Promise Me



Anya turned to stare at Aiden and realized that her husband's expression looked a little strange. "Do you not want to? Having a daughter with me..."

"Ehem... "Aiden cleared his throat slowly to hide his embarrassment. He scratched his head a little awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it to Anya.

​​

It's not that he didn't want to have children with Anya. In fact, the thought of having a family with Anya was already in his mind. Unfortunately, Anya still had to go to college...

Then he said in a serious tone, "It is not good to have a daughter in the Atmajaya Family."

"Why?" Anya looked at him confused.

"Sister Maria used to have a daughter and in the end, she disappeared when she was a child. My father went to a fortune teller and said that all the girls born to the Atmajaya Family had a bad fate. After her daughter's death, my sister took Nadine home. In the end, Nadine had an accident three years ago and did not know what her fate would be like. The fortune teller said that, if the Atmajaya Family had daughters, it would be better if they were raised outside our family. For their own safety," Aiden patiently explained.

"Do you mean the girls in the Atmajaya Family are cursed?" upon hearing that, Anya felt confused. However, she immediately grabbed her grandmother's tombstone and said, "Grandma, I will take care of my mother. Don't worry I won't become a member of the Atmajaya Family. I hope grandmother is happy in heaven."

Aiden immediately frowned. His little wife changed her mind so quickly. Although the fate of the girls in the Atmajaya Family was bad, it did not mean that their whole family was bad. The proof was that they were very rich and powerful.

However, he just smiled at Anya's behavior.

After leaving her grandmother's grave, they both went to Aiden's mother's grave. This was the first time Anya had met her mother-in-law.

Anya and Tara once talked about married life. Tara said Anya was very lucky because she did not have to live with her mother-in-law. Because if the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law lived together, they wouldn't be able to avoid the enmity between them.

Of course, that did not apply to understanding mothers-in-law like Maria. Too bad, Nico was not a good husband.

It was difficult for a woman to get both a good husband and mother-in-law at once. For Tara, it was just like winning the lottery.

At this moment, Anya stood in front of Aiden's mother's grave and looked at her photo. Aiden's mother looked very beautiful and elegant. Anya's first impression when she saw Aiden's mother was that she was a very friendly woman. She was definitely not a cruel woman who liked to boss her daughter-in-law around.

If only Aiden's mother was still alive, Anya would be an example of a woman who managed to 'win the lottery', getting a good husband and a good mother-in-law at once.

Aiden stood in front of his mother's grave. Not a single word was spoken from his lips. He stared straight at the photo posted in front of him.

Seeing Aiden being silent, Anya took the initiative to introduce herself. She placed the fruit and flowers she had brought and said, "Ma'am, my name is Anya and I am Aiden's wife. I came for the first time to see you."

Aiden saw Anya talking to her mother sincerely. While he could not say anything.

"Mother, thank you for giving birth to Aiden. I am really happy with him," Anya was not afraid of anything. Probably because she saw the woman in the photo looked so friendly that she dared to greet her. Or because Aiden was next to her, making her feel calm.

As he raised his head, Aiden saw the sun begin to set. He said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Aiden had come a long way to this place, but he did not say anything to his mother. Was it because Anya was there that Aiden could not feel free to say anything?

Anya took the initiative to say, "I will wait for you on the front. Talk to your mother first."

"Aren't you afraid to wait alone?" Aiden looked at Anya in surprise.

Anya just realized it and immediately looked around. Waiting alone at the funeral in the afternoon was not a good idea. "Of course I'm scared. So hurry up!"

"I do not need to say anything. Let's go home," Aiden grabbed Anya's hand and walked out of the cemetery together.

As Aiden's hand gripped her hand, the fear that Anya felt seemed to disappear.

Then they walked together out of the cemetery. It was quite far from where they parked their car.

"Are you tired?" Aiden was so sensitive that he could guess what Anya thought without having to say it directly.

Anya hugged Aiden's arm and said with a smile. "This is the right opportunity for you to carry me. Don't you want to?"

Aiden's lips smiled slightly. He squatted in front of Anya and patted his shoulder. "Go up!"

"Wow! Do you really want to carry me?" Anya's eyes lit up. Her heart was filled with joy.

"Hmm..." Aiden muttered.

Anya immediately climbed on Aiden's back. After that, Aiden walked while holding Anya steady.

Anya could see the side of her husband's face from Aiden's back. She immediately kissed Aiden's cheek gently. "You are a good husband, Aiden."

Aiden immediately smiled as Anya kissed his cheek. And then he whispered. "Before meeting you, I never wanted to get married. My father did not appreciate my mother. My brother and Sister Maria had a very good relationship and could create a very happy home. But I'm not sure I can be a good husband."

"In my eyes, you are the best husband," Anya whispered in his ear.

"I will never disappoint you," Aiden said firmly.

Anya understood the lack of confidence in Aiden's heart. Just as she always felt insecure because she did not have the love of her father, Aiden also never knew how happy marriage life was. That's because his father and brother betrayed their wives and Keara also betrayed him. That was why Aiden had no confidence in marriage.

"Aiden, never give up. We will live together forever, depending on each other until death separates us. You have to do whatever I say!" Anya said.

Hearing his wife's order, Aiden immediately laughed. "Those are the best love words I have ever heard."

Anya raised her eyebrows as she listened to Aiden's answer. "Who said love words to you?"

Aiden thought for a moment and then replied, "Hmm... There's too many of them I can't remember!"

Anya could only hit Aiden on the shoulder, annoyed to hear his arrogant answer. Meanwhile, Aiden only laughed a little at his jealous wife.

After a moment of silence, Anya's mind wandered to the perpetrator who killed all her vanilla in the garden. All the evidence she got pointed at Raisa. Was it possible that Raisa did all this because she loved Aiden too much?

"Aiden, you know that Raisa likes you. Why did you even choose to be engaged to Natali?" Anya asked curiously.

"There is no difference, Natali or Raisa, they're the same. Anyway, I don't like them both. I chose Natali because the Atmajaya Family and the Tedjasukmana Family were working together at that time," Aiden said indifferently.

Anya stroked the side of Aiden's face. She did not know why, her heart ached to hear Aiden's words and see his careless attitude. Aiden really did not understand love so much that he did not care who he was married to. For him, the match was just a business. There was no need for love.

"If you hadn't met me, how are you going to live this life?" Anya asked.

"I don't know," Aiden did not want to answer such a question. He also did not want to think about it because Anya was by his side right now.

He did not want to imagine how to live without Anya...

"Aiden, promise me. Do not let me leave you," Anya whispered in a low voice.
