Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 100 - The Diamond Ring

What should she do to take the recipe from her father's hand?

Should she call the police then force her father to hand over the recipe? But what if her father didn't admit that the recipe was in his hands?

"Ah..." Anya kept rolling on the bed, unable to fall asleep at all, "Aiden, what should I do?" She mumbled frustratingly.

Suddenly, Anya's cell phone rang. She got a voice message from Aiden.

'Isn't Aiden on the plane? How can he send this?'

Anya opened the voicemail and Aiden's deep voice was heard, "Have you slept?"

It really was Aiden's voice!

Aiden seemed to know she was not sleeping. Anya immediately replied to the message, "I can't sleep without you..."

However, Anya waited for an answer that didn't come. She immediately called Harris, unaware that it was midnight.

As an assistant, Harris was very alert even when he was asleep. He immediately picked up Anya's call as if he was awake.

"Harris, did Aiden really go abroad?" Anya asked.

"Yes, Madame. Master was on the plane." Said Harris.

"But Aiden just sent me a voice message. Can he use his cell phone on the plane?" Anya asked suspiciously.

"There is an internet signal on the plane, but the speed is much slower. Voicemail sending takes longer, but regular messages can arrive sooner. The voice message that you receive may have been sent a few minutes ago." Harris replied.

"Will Aiden be able to see it if I send a message?" Anya asked.

"Master's guards will help him read it. After landing, there will be an assistant from a foreign branch company who will assist him at the airport. Don't worry." Harris said. Luckily he didn't slip up, saying that Aiden could read it himself.

He almost forgot that his master was still pretending to be blind!

"Okay thank you! Sorry I disturbed your sleep at night." Anya immediately hung up the phone and wrote a message for Aiden.

"I can't sleep without you!"

As Harris said, the message arrived quickly and Aiden quickly replied,

"I have a present for you in the nightstand drawer!"

Anya immediately opened her nightstand drawer after reading the message. She saw a very beautiful jewelry box. The box was made of glass and looked so fragile that Anya's hand trembled slightly when she touched it. Even in the dark of night, the box looked shiny.

Anya opened the box and saw a diamond ring in it. The diamond was not very large. It looked cute but still beautiful. Just by looking at it, Anya could tell that Aiden carefully picked it. Not only did Aiden throw money and choose the most expensive diamond, he was also looking for the most beautiful diamond for her.

"I saw a ring. Is this for me?" Anya texted him.

Anya saw an inscription engraved on the ring.

Iris

Aiden's reply came quickly, "Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful ..." Anya answered.

"For you." Aiden replied curtly.

Anya smiled like a fool when she replied to Aiden's message. Could love actually make someone stupid like this?

"Can you fit this ring on my finger?" Anya asked.

"If that's what you want, there's nothing I can't do for you." Aiden replied.

Even though they weren't together, Anya seemed to be able to hear Aiden say that in his deep, hypnotic voice. She felt her body shudder and her heart rippled.

"I'll wait for you to come home and put this ring on my finger." Anya answered with a smile

"Hmm… Go to sleep. Good night!"

"Good evening, Aiden!" This time, Anya didn't send an ordinary message, but a voice message. Even though the message arrived a little late, it made Aiden's heart melt. He saved the voicemail message on his cell phone and his lips were still smiling faintly when he closed his eyes again.

Meanwhile, Anya laid down herself on her bed. This time, a smile graced her face as dreams began to envelop her.

...

Anya woke up early the next day. She had tried to think of various ways to get the recipe from her father, but could not replace a single solution.

Deny only had one wish if Anya really wanted the recipe. He asked Aiden to invest so that the land belonging to the Tedjasukmana Family could be developed. However, Anya didn't want to embarrass Aiden. He didn't want Aiden to get involved with her father just because of her.

Anya stared at her face in the mirror. Her face and lips looked pale, dark eye bags hung under her eyes. She really looked like a ghost.

After taking a shower, she hurriedly put on makeup and covered the dark circles under her eyes.

"Anya, are you okay? You look pale." Hana said worriedly while they were having breakfast.

"I can't sleep." Anya said. She sounded tired. Though she exchanged messages with Aiden and her mood improved a little last night, she was still troubled by her mother's recipe that was in her father's hand. She kept thinking about it, looking for a way to get it back.

Anya took the food and was about to spoon it into Aiden's plate, not realizing that Aiden was not at the same dining table as her. She was so used to it for Aiden that her hands seemed to move by themselves even though Aiden was not there.

Hana chuckled when she saw Anya's actions, "Anya, Aiden isn't here. Do you miss him?"

Anya laughed and was embarrassed by her own actions. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "Hmm ... I dreamed about him last night."

"What dream is it?" Hana asked with a smile.

"I dreamed that he knelt in the middle of a garden full of flowers. A jewelry box containing a diamond ring is in one hand while the other is holding mine. He proposed to me." Anya said with a smile, "It's just a dream. Aiden wouldn't do something like that."

Given Aiden's cold nature, it seemed like it did sound difficult. But that was not completely impossible for Hana, "It sounds difficult, Anya, but it is not something that is impossible. Let's make your dreams come true!" She said excitedly, trying to encourage Anya.

Anya just shook her head, "I don't dare to hope!" She said with a chuckle.

Hana just smiled when she heard Anya's answer and they immediately continued eating. Anya didn't know if she'd lost her appetite because she didn't sleep enough last night.

"It smells so good. What's the breakfast menu for today?" Nico said from a far. His voice was so loud that everyone in the room had heard it first before he appeared.

"Chicken and mushroom porridge, soft-boiled beef eye eggs, bread and strawberry jam. Soy milk or plain milk, Mr. Nic?" Hana asked with a smile.

"Whatever. I like both." Nico could eat everything. He was not a picky person.

Anya was a little surprised to see Nico's arrival so early in the morning, "Nico, didn't you come home last night?" She asked. Nico came this early, but he looked neat. His hair was neatly combed back using hair gel. He was also wearing a shirt to go to work.

"Auntie, I moved to my house next door to this house to look after you while Uncle is away. I have no food in my house. Do you mind if I have breakfast here?" He asked.

Nico didn't wait for Anya's answer. He immediately pulled the chair next to Anya and sat down to eat.

"Of course, I don't mind. The more people join in, the more enjoyable the atmosphere will be!" Said Anya while getting porridge for Nico, "Eat!"

"Mrs. Hana, can you help me wrap it up?" Nico asked.

Harris, who just came into the dining room, heard what Nico said. He immediately asked, "Mr. Nico, who is the packaged food for? Are you hiding a woman in your house?"

"No!" Nico almost choked at the question.

"Then who is the food for?" Asked Hana curiously.

"Not a woman, but a man." Nico said. Anya accidentally dropped her spoon when she heard Nico's answer.

Nico brought a man to live in his house. He did not bring a woman, but a man.

'Is Nico…'

"Nico, does your uncle know?" Anya asked in a low voice.
