BXBX NOVEL Chapter 568 - Asking For Help
"Who's coming?" Diana put down the plate she was carrying and looked out the door.
"My uncle. Maybe he hasn't had dinner when he got home earlier since Mrs. Hana helped cook here. He finally came," Nadine said quickly.
Anya was speechless.
Today, Jonathan was at their house. It wasn't the right time for Aiden to come and have dinner with them.
With Aiden's attitude, an argument might break out between them as soon as he saw Jonathan.
But her mother was tired of cooking this afternoon. In the end, she had to ask Hana to help her cook dinner.
Anya immediately stopped Nadine and said, "Let me just open the door. You can help mother and Mrs. Hana."
Anya walked towards the gate, seeing Aiden standing while calling someone. When he saw Anya approaching him, Aiden waved his hand while still talking on his phone.
Anya came forward to open the door. After that, the man continued walking through the garden and headed to the front of the house.
Anya immediately closed the fence and ran after Aiden to stop him.
But Aiden passed her and continued to walk forward until finally, Anya had to hug his waist to stop him.
"I'm on business. We'll meet and talk about it again next time," Aiden said, hanging up the phone. Then, he smiled at Anya as the woman was hugging his waist. "Do you miss me that much that you can't help but hugging me like this?"
Anya's face immediately flushed red and she quickly let go of Aiden. "I have to tell you something."
"Say it," Aiden replied.
"Alisa's father came to pick her up. My mother asked him to join our dinner. If you meet him, please don't kick him out like you did to Raka earlier. I really have nothing to do with him," Anya said.
"Do you need to explain everything to me? Are you afraid I might misunderstand?" Aiden looked at him with an unpredictable gaze.
"I don't want you to do something bad to him. He is not your rival. There is no other man besides you," Anya thought that if she didn't speak clearly, maybe Aiden would really kick Jonathan out of her house.
The incident with Raka this morning made Anya feel very worried.
"Ohh. My wife's guest is my guest too," Aiden smiled and kissed Anya's forehead. Then, he took her hand and walked towards the house.
Anya didn't want to join hands with Aiden, but the man didn't want to let her go. "If you let go of my hand, I may not be able to stop myself from driving away the man who wanted to take my wife and make her the stepmother of his child."
"I'm not going to be Alisa's stepmother. Don't talk nonsense," Anya had no other choice but to follow him.
Aiden was happy when he saw Anya not trying to pull her hand again. With intertwined fingers, they entered the living room together.
Jonathan just finished washing Alisa's hands. When he returned to the living room, he saw Anya and Aiden coming.
Actually, he had seen the news about their vacation on an island in the last few days. He didn't believe the news at first. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he thought the news must be true.
"Aiden, I told Hana that you can cook, but Hana didn't believe it. She said she never saw you cook," Diana said half jokingly.
"Let me show her later," Aiden took off his jacket and Anya immediately accepted it without waiting for the man to ask her first.
Before Aiden entered the kitchen, he looked at Jonathan and greeted him.
Then he turned and went into the kitchen, followed by Diana.
Nadine remained in the kitchen helping them, hoping that she could learn or steal cooking tricks from Hana.
In her family room, only Anya and Jonathan were left alone.
"Anya, you and Aiden..."
"Aiden is my husband," Anya replied.
Before this, she did not care about her surroundings and was unaware of Jonathan's feelings for her. But after hearing Aiden's words, Anya felt stupid for not being able to see Jonathan's feelings. It was quite obvious that the man had an eye on her.
She must end that feeling as soon as possible, so that Jonathan wouldn't hope for her to become Alisa's stepmother.
Aiden was the strongest shield for her. He deliberately took Anya's hand to show his ownership. Anya just needed to go with the flow that the man had created.
"Are you married?" Jonathan looked surprised.
"We got married two years ago. There is a perfume shop owned by Aiden at the Atmajaya Group mall named after my favorite flower, Iris. Aiden opened it for me. After I won the perfume competition two years ago, I had the opportunity to study abroad. He supported me to do whatever I wanted so I went to study for two years," Anya explained her situation with Aiden briefly.
As for what happened two years ago, Anya decided not to tell him. That problem had nothing to do with outsiders like Jonathan.
Jonathan nodded and took a deep breath. "Not all husbands want to support their wives to study abroad. I admire Aiden for that. More and more selfish men are breaking their wives' wings and turning them into servants in the house nowadays. I'm glad he's not one,"
"Aiden doesn't need servants. I can't cook, but he can. I love perfume and he supports my work. I am quite satisfied with my life now." When she said this, Anya looked at the kitchen with a smile on her face.
All this time, Jonathan always viewed Aiden as a cruel and cold person in the business world. But when he heard the story from Anya's mouth, his impression drastically changed.
Aiden was a husband willing to cook for his wife.
Plus, Jonathan could see that Aiden and Anya's mother were in a very good relationship.
Even Alisa liked Aiden and said that she and Anya would marry Aiden together.
At that time, Alisa sounded like she was joking. But Jonathan did not think that Anya and Aiden were married two years ago.
They were husband and wife, along with Alisa, playing a fairy tale about a princess marrying a prince.
Aiden and Anya wanted to accompany Alisa patiently and Jonathan was very grateful for that.
After dinner, the women were busy clearing tables, while Aiden and Jonathan chatted on the garden terrace.
"How long are you going to live in Indonesia this time?" Aiden asked.
"My father wants me to return to Indonesia. I won't go again this time," Jonathan replied.
"Even though we don't have a close relationship, I would like to ask you a favor," Aiden stopped short and went straight to his point.
"Aiden, I've known Anya for two years. She is just the adoptive mother of my daughter. Alisa really likes Anya and you. As long as I can, I'll help you," Jonathan said.
Seeing Jonathan's kindness, Aiden immediately said, "I'm going abroad tomorrow and I don't know when I will come back. I hope you will take care of Anya while I am not in Indonesia. Your father might harm her,"
Jonathan looked surprised to hear that.
He remembered his old wife, Alisa's mother. Because of his father, his wife died giving birth to Alisa.
"Did my father misunderstand my relationship with Anya and want to harm her?" Jonathan asked frantically.
