Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 519 - Paying Debt

"Was this soup made for me on purpose?" Anya asked.

"Hmm... It's the same soup you used to eat, according to Tara's recipe," Aiden didn't try to hide it.

"Does the soup my mom makes at home lately fit Tara's recipe?" Anya suddenly realized. 

Because the taste of her mother and Hana's cooking is different, Anya doesn't realize that they were the same.

"Healthy soup must be consumed regularly. If you drink it every day, your health will improve in three months," Aiden said as he poured the soup into a bowl and gave it to Anya.

Anya was silent for a moment and then smiled bitterly. "Tara already told you that I'm not that healthy and I may never be able to have children again. Is that why you took me out for lunch so you could give me this soup? Is this how you make up for your mistake?"

"Anya, I know you don't want to have anything to do with the Atmajaya Family anymore. I'm doing all this not out of guilt, but because... Because..."

"Because of what?" Anya looked towards Aiden.

"Because I wanted to meet you," Aiden said in a low voice. "I want to meet you, I really want to see you..."

Anya's eyes turned red when she heard that and her voice choked. "Aiden, that child is probably my first and last child. Just because you wanted to meet me, you forced me like this. Do you think I want to meet you?"

"I will heal you!" Aiden said.

"Who do you think you are? I knew from a long time ago that my body was weak so I tried hard to have that child. These past two years, I was so frustrated. I want to forget everything so I rarely take care of my health. Tara said it's nearly impossible for me to have another child. Do you think you are a God who can change everything?" Despite saying it in a low voice, the words sounded very sharp, piercing Aiden's heart deeply.

"You were the one who hurt me and now you say you want to heal me. What do you want from me? You want me not to work in the perfume industry anymore? I will never do it. Two years ago, I gave up all my dreams for you. But now things are different," Anya lifted her head and continued firmly. "I'll gladly accept it if I'm really destined to not be able have children again,"

"Anya, don't be like that. I want to apologize to you," Aiden approached and carried Anya in his arms.

Anya tried to let go of the hug, but it only tightened around her waist.

Anya opened her mouth and bit Aiden's shoulder, but that was not enough to make the man let go.

Without realizing it, Aiden's white shirt turned red with blood.

"Let go of me!" Anya growled.

Finally, Aiden let her go. Anya immediately took a few steps back away from Aiden.

"Eat first. I'll get changed," Aiden turned around and entered the room. When he came out again, he was wearing a new, clean shirt.

They ate in silence. The atmosphere became weary after their argument just now.

Anya could only eat slowly without looking at Aiden. She was worried about the wound on the man's shoulder.

She really felt angry when she bit him earlier. But after seeing the wound, Anya felt guilty.

"It's just a small wound. It's not a problem," seeing Anya kept lowering her head, Aiden knew that she felt guilty.

"Who is worried about you? I did it on purpose. I bit you hard on purpose," Anya said stiffly.

"I know. I deserve it. You can bite me and I won't mind," Aiden held out his arm to Anya.

Anya immediately glared at him. "Who wants to bite you again!" She said as she took the fried chicken and put it in her mouth.

Aiden just smiled and didn't reply. He took the shrimp and peeled the skin, then gave it to Anya.

Anya didn't say anything. She just ate whatever Aiden gave her, hoping that the lunch hour would end soon.

While thinking about what was going on in the lobby, Anya said, "Don't tell Harris to pick me up tomorrow. I don't want to feed people's gossip."

"I'll have Abdi pick you up tomorrow," Aiden said.

"Did you make Nadine work for Iris?"

"If you don't like her, I can replace her another job," Aiden answered quietly.

"I don't want to be associated with the Atmajaya Family anymore. Besides, she and Keara are close friends and they met this morning," she didn't only want to get away from the Atmajaya Family, but also Keara.

"There's nothing wrong with letting someone who knows Keara be near you," Aiden said.

When she met Keara this morning, Nadine immediately helped her and took her away.

Had she been alone, maybe Keara would immediately insult and humiliate her, making Anya unable to move.

But with Nadine, Keara couldn't do anything about it. Even though she didn't think of Nadine, Keara still had to remember that the girl had Atmajaya as her last name.

"Whatever," Anya did not reject Aiden's suggestion.

After lunch, Aiden asked someone to make tea for them.

"I will go first," Anya got up and wanted to go. She didn't want to drink tea with Aiden.

"I heard, you already know that you are not your mother's biological daughter and now you are looking for your biological parents," Aiden said, preventing Anya from leaving.

Anya's footsteps stopped immediately. "The news spreads very quickly."

"The news is not spread. I've known about it since two years ago. Do you remember the time we waited for your and your mother's DNA test results at the hospital?" Aiden asked.

"My mom said you were afraid that I couldn't stand it so you accidentally changed the results of the DNA test at that time. Aiden, you are so smart that you can change the DNA test result. But how can you…"

Anya swallowed her words again. She wasn't the one who had to tell Aiden that she wasn't Maria's daughter. It was the Atmajaya family who had to tell him…

Sooner or later, Aiden would replace out that Maria had found her biological daughter. Why would Anya interfere in their family matters anymore?

Anya didn't want to be a criminal. She didn't want to make Aiden and his family fight.

She just felt that her innocent child had died in vain.

Aiden could change her and her mother's DNA test result easily. But why didn't he suspect that the result of her and Maria's DNA test could also be manipulated?

"What do you want to say?" Aiden saw that Anya had stopped talking.

Anya just shook her head. "Nothing. I won't blame you for hiding my relationship with mom. After all, my goal is to become like my mother. If I had known that I wasn't her real daughter at that time, maybe I wouldn't have had the confidence to last until now,"

"I heard from Mrs. Esther that you were looking for your parents. I can help you." Aiden did not cover up where the source of the news came from.

"My grandmother didn't leave any clues before she died so I don't know where I came from. In that year, there were so many people who lost their daughters that it was difficult to replace parents. I will train hard and win this perfume competition to replace my biological parents," Anya told Aiden about her plan.

"Anya, I really owe you. Let me redeem it and help you replace your parents," Aiden said.
