Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 162 - Candle Light Dinner

"Uncle, do you know that this bicycle will run out of power? Did you deliberately lie to me and tell me to look at fireflies?" Nico asked suspiciously.

"Is your aunt really like that?" Aiden casually asked.

Nico knew that this uncle was very maniacal in protecting his wife. He wouldn't want to admit that Anya set him up on purpose so he couldn't go home. Nico could only sigh. Now was not the time to replace out who was guilty. He had to replace a way to get home.

"Uncle, the bike is running out of power. What should I do now?" Nico whined. He didn't want mosquitos in this lake to feast on him. He wanted to go home and sleep!

"Find a place to charge or call Harris to deliver a spare battery." Aiden said, "Don't call again. We want to rest." Then he hung up the phone unilaterally.

Nico stared at his cellphone irritably. He came to help his uncle and aunt make up, but instead he was left alone in the middle of a lake like this. Why was his fate like this?

When he saw a guard post in a nearby parking lot, Nico led his bike, grumbling, "Seriously, uncle and aunt are like two criminals who schemed to trouble me."

At that time, Anya who had just come out of the bathroom suddenly sneezed. She looked at Aiden and asked, "Who just called?"

"Nico. The bicycle is running out of power." Aiden's eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared at Anya. The flames could be seen from these eyes as they looked at Anya who had just finished taking a shower. The fragrance of Anya's soap filled the room. Her hair was slightly wet with the splash of water and her face was flushed with warm water.

Anya didn't notice the sight and walked towards Aiden. She used a washcloth to dry her half wet hair and said, "No wonder I just sneezed. Nico must have scolded me for leaving him in the lake alone."

"You are his aunt. Your position is higher than Nico. He wouldn't dare scold you." Aiden put down his cell phone and walked towards Anya.

"Eh? Why are you coming to me? I want to change clothes." Anya finally realized the danger she had not felt before and was about to turn around to run away.

Not even two steps, Aiden's hand reached out to embrace Anya's waist.

Anya's body immediately stiffened, "Aiden, I want to change clothes."

"What's the point of changing your clothes when you take them all off. Why bother?" Aiden's hand hugged her waist tighter, pulling Anya's tiny body closer to his chest.

Anya's heart was beating fast. Her face, which was flushed from the warm water, was getting redder and so did her ears.

Aiden could feel Anya's body tensing. Her tiny hands were clenched very tightly. Anya looked really tense. But she tried to hold on and didn't refuse Aiden's hug.

Aiden leaned his head on Anya's shoulder, nibbled her shoulder gently and took a deep breath of her scent, "Anya, don't go. I want to be with you tonight. Come back to this room." He said.

"I ... I ... My hair is still wet. I'll dry it first." Anya's brain was spinning for excuses, but only those ridiculous excuses came out since she panicked. 

"I'll dry it for you." Aiden said with a smile.

"I- ... I'm thirsty." Anya's face flushed with embarrassment. She was embarrassed when she thought about what Aiden wanted to do to her.

"I've prepared a drink." Aiden's hand held Anya towards the balcony of his room. A soft, high-quality carpet covered the balcony floor, so they could sit comfortably. A bottle of wine and two glasses were set on a small table. The wine glass was still empty, but the iris petals were already swimming on the surface when the wine was poured. A candle on the table was not lit yet.

Was this a candle light dinner? Actually it couldn't be called that because they didn't eat. They only drank wine. But it's really romantic!

Aiden took Anya's hand and invited her to sit on the soft carpet. After they both sat down, his hand took the towel held by Anya and helped Anya dry her wet hair.

Anya's eyes were fixed on Aiden. Her husband was very gentle with her today.

Could it be because today was a special day for them? Maybe because they had cleared up the misunderstanding that had occurred between them and became closer than before.

Anya picked up the match lying on the table and lit an aromatherapy candle, making the dark room illuminated by a faint light.

"At times like this, it takes a song to liven up the atmosphere." Aiden stretched out his hand and grabbed the remote to turn on the song from inside his room.

The song began to play, playing a familiar melody. A classic song. Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love played, the song was soothing to the ears.

...

Said the wise, only fools rush ...

But I can't help but fall in love with you ...

Should I stay?

Am I sinning if I love you?

Like a river that flows, it must lead to the ocean ...

Darling, that is how I love you, it is destiny that has already been etched ...

Hold my hand, take my whole life ...

Because I have fallen in love with you

...

"Do you like my choice of song?" Aiden asked with a smile.

"Hmm..." Anya nodded as she leaned on Aiden. The song Aiden chose was a very romantic love song. Was Aiden expressing his feelings?

"Anya, this kind of feeling is really new in my life. Only you can make me feel this way." Aiden held Anya's hand and brought it towards his lips. He kissed the back of Anya's hand gently and slipped something.

Anya felt something on the ring finger of her left hand. When Aiden let go of her hand, she saw a ring.

She once dreamed that one day Aiden would kneel down and propose to her with a ring and then put the ring in her hand.

This ring had been in her nightstand for a long time and Anya had been waiting for Aiden to put the ring on her finger.

And the day had finally come.

On a special day, under a dim candle flame, amidst soothing songs, accompanied by fragrant wine and being with the man she liked.

Anya looked at the ring on her hand. The ring wrapped around her finger perfectly, making it look beautiful. She really liked it.

She liked it, not because it was a diamond ring and expensive. But because the ring was chosen by Aiden and put into her hand by Aiden himself.

"The ring is very beautiful." Anya said with a smile.

"Do you like it?" Aiden asked.

"This ring is your gift, of course I like it. Thank you my husband." Anya turned around and hugged Aiden tightly.

Aiden's hand immediately hugged Anya's body, let her sit on his lap and then kissed her on the cheek, "Let's have a drink."

Anya immediately took the wine bottle and poured it into the wine glass. Then, she gave one of the glasses to Aiden and took another for herself.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Aiden asked.

"Why should I be afraid of you? You are a good husband."

"I left you halfway because I was too immersed in my emotions. You could've got hurt. Don't you hate me?" Aiden asked while looking at Anya's face.
