Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 18

"Hello..." Anya answered as she picked up the call.
"Anya, can we meet? There are things that I want to talk about," Deny said. Even the man didn't ask how Anya was after they didn't meet and chat for so long.
"What is wrong?" Anya asked. She felt strange that her father suddenly wanted to meet her. However, from the way the man spoke, Anya knew that her father was not looking for her because he was longing and wanting to meet her.
"Father will be waiting for you at the cafe. I'll send the location to you." Deny said before he immediately hung up on the phone. Even that man didn't give Anya a chance to answer him. Anya hadn't had the time to say anything. She did not have time to answer, let alone saying whether she was willing to meet the man or not.
After the call was cut off, Anya let out a disappointed sigh. She shouldn't be this disappointed. She should have known that her father wasn't looking for her because she missed him.
However, it turned out that her heart was still hopeful.
She immediately put her feelings aside and called Aiden, asking permission to go see her father.
The first ring was just heard, but Aiden answered the phone right away.
"Hmm?" The man just muttered.
"Can I go see my father?" Anya asked timidly. She was worried that Aiden would not allow her to leave the house.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment as if Aiden was thinking about Anya's request.
"Hmm ... Tell Abdi to drive you." Aiden replied in the end.
"Thank you." Anya said while smiling faintly. Even though she knew Aiden couldn't see her smile, she couldn't help but smile to her lips. Anya was grateful that after becoming Aiden's wife, Aiden did not restrain her. Even though she still had to go under Abdi's watch, at least she wasn't confined to the house.
After getting permission, Anya immediately returned to the kitchen to say goodbye to Hana.

"Mrs. Hana, I will go for a moment to see my father." She said.
Just as she was about to turn around, Hana tried to stop her.
"Eh… Wait, wait! Wait a minute…" Hana tried to dry her hands as quickly as possible and prevented Anya from leaving.
Hearing this, Anya immediately turned and looked at Hana in confusion, "What's wrong, Mrs. Hana?"
"Anya, do you want to leave the house dressed like that?" Hana suddenly asked.
"Yes. I think this shirt is still pretty good." Anya was a bit surprised at Hana's question. She lowered her head to see the clothes she was wearing right now. Even though the clothes weren't fancy and the colors faded a little from overuse, they were one of the best clothes she had.
Hana shook her head and said, "Come with me."
She pulled Anya's hand and led her to a room connected to her master bedroom. It was filled with wardrobes and furnished with a large dressing table.
Anya hadn't had time to clean up her clothes. Her clothes were still in the bag she had brought from her house so she thought that the closets must be empty. However, when Hana opened the wardrobe one by one, her eyes widened when she saw the various clothes neatly hung inside. Even a variety of new make-up tools were also available on the dresser.
T-shirts, shirts, casual overalls, formal dresses…
Shorts, trousers, jeans…
The wardrobes were completely filled. In fact, each type of clothing had a variety of colors. Pink, dark red, maroon, fiery red, dark blue, light blue, sky blue, navy blue…
'It's just incredible!'
Anya's mouth could only open when she saw the various collections of clothes in the wardrobes.
"Is this all for me?" She asked, looking at Hana in disbelief.
"Of course. Mr. Aiden has prepared all of this for you." Hana replied with a beaming smile.
"Are these really mine?" Anya asked once again as if she couldn't believe it.

Hana just chuckled and nodded patiently.
Anya's hand touched one of the overalls and felt the soft material. She saw the various logo brands of clothes that filled her cupboard. Her head felt dizzy when she recognized these expensive brands. She couldn't wear these fancy clothes! What if she made this beautiful dress dirty?
Hana saw the confusion in Anya's eyes and thought that Anya was having a hard time deciding which clothes she wanted to wear, not because she was afraid to wear them. In the end, she stepped forward to pick up one of the very cute yellow casual dresses. She lifted it and placed it in front of Anya, as if she was judging whether the dress was suitable for Anya. Then, she smiled broadly
"Hurry up and try this one." She said, handing the shirt to Anya. Anya could only obey Hana's orders and change her clothes. The size of the clothes fitted her body perfectly, as if the clothes had been specially sewn for her. She didn't know how Aiden knew her size, but she was sure all the clothes in the wardrobe were the right size.
She looked into the tall mirror and saw her reflection. Hana's choice was very pretty. The bright yellow color on the shirt made her white skin look shiny. The shirt was sleeveless, but not too revealing so that it made Anya feel comfortable still wearing it. The length exceeded the knee, making the impression of elegance shine even more.
By the time Anya was staring at her reflection in the mirror, Hana had prepared brown flat shoes and also a matching small bag. She told Anya to put on it immediately and go back to check her appearance.
Whatever Hana chose suited her perfectly. The clothes, shoes and bags made her look less childish, but not too mature either. Anya looked elegant and classy.
Even though she was quite old, it seemed that Hana had a pretty good sense of fashion. She smiled with satisfaction after seeing the clothes she chose for Anya.
"All this time I really wanted a daughter so I could dress her like this." She complained.
Unfortunately, after giving birth to Harris, Hana could no longer have children.
Anya smiled when she heard Hana's words. For her, Hana was a very warm woman. Even though she was old, her personality was very cheerful, reminding Anya of her mother.
If only her mother wasn't in a coma and be with her at this time, her mother and Hana would definitely become good friends with each other. Their nature was so similar that Anya could imagine how compatible the two women were.
Cheerful, warm, full of enthusiasm…
Hana's presence made her heart heal a little. However, the feeling of longing that she felt was also getting worse. At least, her mother's treatment would be safe for some time to come. She just needed to be patient and wait for her mother to come back to her.
After they finished getting ready, they immediately descended from the second floor and headed for the front door. There, Abdi had waited and was ready to take Anya.
"Thank you, Mrs. Hana. I really like Mrs. Hana's choices." Anya smiled at Hana as they were walking downstairs. She wanted Hana to know that she was truly grateful for Hana's existence. Hana made her day feel warm. If she had to be alone with Aiden, they would be in a very awkward situation.
Hana's smile brightened even more when she heard Anya's thanks, "No need to be grateful. Are you going alone?" She asked.
"I'm not. Aiden told Mr. Abdi to take me." Anya answered.
Hana secretly smiled when she heard that. So far, Abdi had always been beside Aiden. Aiden never asked Abdi to do other tasks apart from picking up and escorting him. But now, Abdi had a new assignment that was to take Anya. It looked like this one woman was truly precious to his master!
