BXBX NOVEL Chapter 287 - Trust
"Then what? Do you intend to divorce me after that?"
Anya looked at Aiden in surprise. Why was Aiden thinking about divorce now?
"We are husband and wife. But you want to do it alone as if you want to distance yourself from me. Do you really intend to divorce me?" Aiden looked at Anya.
Anya shook her head and explained, "I don\'t have abilities nor extraordinary achievements like you. I am very small in front of you. I just want to fight harder so that you don\'t always help me. I don\'t want to feel so low in front of you,"
"I never looked down on you. In fact, I really respect you. Why do you think like that?" Aiden asked.
"Aiden, I just want to repay all of my debt to you as quickly as possible so that I don\'t feel low in your presence. If I continue to be in a position like this, I don\'t have the confidence to stand beside you. Because people like you…" Anya\'s throat felt tight when she said that.
Aiden lowered his head to kiss Anya on the lips, preventing her from continuing.
He didn\'t understand why Anya kept on babbling like this. It turned out that she was just feeling jealous. Since Keara\'s arrival, Anya had lost more and more confidence in herself.
"Aiden..." Anya tried to avoid Aiden. The image of Aiden and Keara kissing in the garden suddenly appeared in her mind, making her feel sick.
Aiden felt that Anya\'s rejection this time was stronger than usual, so he immediately let go. His eyes fell on Anya\'s face as he asked. "What\'s wrong? What\'s wrong with you?"
"My stomach is a little uncomfortable. Maybe because of the wine I drank last night," Anya avoided his question.
Aiden looked at her suspiciously. He could feel Anya rejecting him unlike her usual self. He felt that was not the real reason.
At first, Aiden thought he was just thinking too much. But Anya refused when Aiden tried to get close.
"Don\'t you like being close to me?" Aiden asked.
"No," Anya immediately dodged it.
"What happened? Did you see Keara kissing me?" Aiden asked once again.
Anya looked at Aiden in surprise, but not a single word could come out of her mouth.
Aiden knew everything. There was nothing she could hide from him.
Aiden was right. Anya saw Aiden kissing Keara so she couldn\'t accept it.
Whenever she remembered the lips that would touch her were the same as the lips that kissed another woman, Anya always felt sick.
She knew she shouldn\'t act like this.
But what power did she have? If only she didn\'t love Aiden, didn\'t love him with all her heart, didn\'t care about him, then her heart wouldn\'t be this sad.
But she loved Aiden so much. How could she accept seeing the man she loved tricking her and got back with his ex?
Aiden\'s feelings felt very complicated now. At that time, he did hear footsteps leaving the place and saw Anya\'s sandals left on the stairs. He knew that Anya might have seen or heard his conversation with Keara.
But what actually happened was that he did not kiss Keara. The woman stole the kiss from him when he was off guard.
He thought Anya didn\'t see him because he turned his back on her.
If Anya did not see it, he felt there was no need to explain it, because he knew that his little wife thought all kinds of things. He didn\'t want Anya to think about strange things.
Who knew that Anya was only pretending since last night.
The previous Anya wouldn\'t be able to pretend like this.
His little wife was able to lie to him now. If he hadn\'t tried to kiss Anya, how long would his wife hide this?
Until when would Anya misunderstand it? Aiden would probably never find out because Anya wouldn\'t be honest with him.
"As my wife, seeing your husband kiss another woman, you still have nothing to say? Why are you running away? Don\'t you believe me? Or you don\'t have the confidence to be with me?" Aiden asked with a grim face.
"I... I don\'t know," Anya didn\'t know how to answer Aiden\'s question.
"You don\'t know?" Aiden sneered. "Let me help you answer. Because you don\'t believe me. When you see Keara and I kissing, the first thing that came to your mind was me and Keara reconciling,"
Anya just looked at Aiden without saying anything. It was true that it was what she thought.
"The reason why you didn\'t question me was because you were afraid that you wouldn\'t have a chance to stay with me. Right?" Aiden continued.
Anya could only lower her head. She didn\'t dare look at Aiden\'s gaze.
"So, you pretended you didn\'t see anything, heard nothing, and ran away. You\'re trying to convince yourself to accept my relationship with Keara. As long as I don\'t talk about divorce, you will stay quiet beside me, right?" Aiden\'s voice grew colder and colder as if it had frozen Anya.
"That\'s not what I mean. I have no intention of tying you up like that. If… If you really love Keara, I\'m willing to step back and…" Before Anya could finish her words, Aiden gripped Anya\'s hand tightly, causing her pain.
"What should I do with you?" Aiden asked, gritting his teeth. "If you really don\'t understand it, can\'t you ask me? You have never trusted me all this time, Anya," When he said that, there was a trace of sadness in Aiden\'s voice.
"Aiden…" Anya could feel Aiden\'s large hand loosening from hers as she groaned in pain. She didn\'t understand what Aiden said.
She really loved Aiden. She trusted Aiden and depended on him so she feared losing her husband.
But why was Aiden looking angry and sad? Shouldn\'t she be the one to feel sad?
"It\'s not your choice who I want to get in touch with. I will decide who I want and don\'t want. Anya, you actually don\'t love me as much as you tell me, because you don\'t know what I really want," After saying that, Aiden let go of his grip.
Their car then stopped in front of the Atmajaya Group office. Before getting out of the car, Aiden looked at Anya once again. "If you really want a divorce, I can help you. Raka is not engaged yet. You still have a chance,"
Anya was stunned to hear this. Her lips parted, but she couldn\'t say anything.
Their car\'s door slammed hard and returned to walking slowly, leaving the Atmajaya Group office.
Anya then thought about everything that happened on the way. What\'s wrong with her husband?
She couldn\'t understand why Aiden was this mad at her. She even pretended not to know that Aiden wanted to go back with Keara.
If Aiden wanted a divorce from her, she would agree to it even though she felt reluctant. She\'s not stupid. She was not strong enough to stand against someone like Keara, a graceful and charming woman with a great family background.
She couldn\'t even get Bima\'s approval. On the other hand, Bima really liked Keara.
She was willing to leave if Aiden intended to return to Keara. Wouldn\'t that make it easier? Why was Aiden even angry?
Did Aiden wish she didn\'t know everything?
Or did Aiden want to see her compete with Keara?
She couldn\'t compete with Keara. If Aiden really loved Keara, Anya would be willing to let him go.
Loving someone didn\'t necessarily mean you had to keep them in a relationship. Anya just wanted Aiden to feel happy, even if he wasn\'t with her.
It might sound cliché, but Anya truly wished Aiden happiness.
Aiden and Keara had separated for three years, before Keara finally returned from death. If Aiden and Keara wanted to go back together, what could Anya do to get in their way?
What power did she have?
