"Aiden, have you ever loved me?" Keara asked, looking sadly at Aiden.

However, Aiden paid no heed to the sadness in Keara's eyes. His gaze was cold, without the slightest feeling. He firmly answered, "I have never loved you."

​​

At the same time, Keara saw a woman approaching them behind Aiden.

It was Anya!

Seeing Anya, Keara immediately got an idea. She deliberately said, "If I don't see Anya, maybe I will believe your lies. But after seeing Anya, I understood Aiden. You love me so you marry a woman who looks like me. Anya is just my replacement. I am the woman you love,"

Anya stood in the garden, not far from them. She looked at Aiden's back, and felt her heart being stabbed repeatedly. Her feet were stuck on the ground, not daring to take another step.

She was just a substitute for Keara!

Aiden loved Keara. Aiden married her because her face resembled Keara...

Unconsciously, tears began to trickle down her cheeks. Her hands were tightly clenched and her shoulders were trembling. She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the pain in her heart.

All her life, she always missed her father's love. And now, the affection Aiden gave was not for her either. Was she really destined not to feel love?

Her brain and heart seemed to continue arguing in her mind.

"Don't cry! Did you really not know all this time that you were just a substitute?" Her brain said.

Her heart refuted, "I know I'm just a substitute, but is my relationship with Aiden fake? Aren't we getting closer?"

"You were determined to be a good substitute from the start, but you are straying from the truth. Whose fault is this? You knew very well that Aiden's kindness to you was a lie. He said he saw you before but you can't remember. Of course you don't remember, because he was talking about Keara, not you!" her brain said.

"No, Aiden loves me. He said I'm not a substitute!" Her heart continued to evade.

"Anya, wake up! Stop daydreaming! You can become Mrs. Atmajaya just because of your face. You can get Aiden's affection for that face, are you not satisfied enough? You better turn around and go upstairs now. Don't compete with the real person because you can't win. Did you not notice?"

Anya was conflicted between her heart and mind that seemed to be arguing ceaselessly. Her common sense told her that she should return to her room sooner rather than continue to feel sad watching Aiden and Keara. But her heart believed that Aiden really loved her.

She didn't know which one to believe, her heart or her common sense…

"Keara, you are my brother's fiancér. I do not love you!" Aiden's voice sounded very cold, piercing Keara's heart viciously.

"You are lying! You love Me! You love Me!" Keara's voice trembled slightly. Then, her whole body shook violently and her face looked in pain. Subconsciously, her hand held her neck.

Aiden was surprised to see that. When he saw the blood on Keara's lips, he immediately reacted. Keara's condition was very similar to an epileptic seizure.

Before he could think, Aiden immediately stepped forward, hugged Keara's waist with one hand and forced Keara to open her mouth with the other.

It would be dangerous for someone to bite their tongue when having a seizure.

Anya felt like she was struck by lightning seeing this incident from behind Aiden. Her husband hugged Keara's waist and held her face, looking like he was going to kiss her.

However, her feet seemed to be stuck with nails into the ground. She couldn't move!

A second later, she saw Keara tiptoe slightly and kiss Aiden on the lips. Anya immediately turned around and ran upstairs like a frightened rabbit.

Hearing familiar footsteps and then seeing the sly smile on Keara's face, Aiden immediately pushed her away.

Keara didn't expect Aiden to push her all of a sudden so she immediately fell to the floor.

Keara wasn't angry at all. Instead, she looked at Aiden with a smile and said, "Anya was standing behind you from earlier. Which one will she believe more, you or the thing she saw?"

"You are really looking to die!" Aiden was furious.

"You know that I love you, but instead you let me get engaged to your brother. After that, you are looking for a woman with a similar face to me. You still want to deny that you love me?" Keara glared at Aiden.

"I have always loved Anya and I've never loved you and never will!" Aiden immediately turned and left the park.

Anya ran to her room wearing house slippers. One of her sandals fell off the ladder and she didn't have time to pick it up. She hurried back to the room, jumped on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.

Aiden saw the pink slippers lying on the stairs. He took it and returned to his room, seeing Anya curled up in the blanket.

He approached Anya and put the pink sandals next to his partner. He stretched out his hand and tried to lift Anya's blanket.

But his hand stopped halfway.

"Come out. I want to ask you something," Aiden said warmly. The way he spoke was very different from the way he spoke with Keara earlier. Unfortunately, Anya didn't know. She couldn't hear the conversation between Aiden and Keara. She only saw that her husband was kissing another woman.

Anya knew she couldn't hide from Aiden. She peeked from under the blanket with her hair still wet.

"I just took a shower. I've been in the room since earlier. I haven't gone anywhere!" Anya said frantically.

"Is it true? Then why are your sandals on the stairs?" Aiden looked at Anya with a chuckle.

"That..." Anya blinked her eyes repeatedly. Then she said with a smile. "I searched earlier but couldn't find it. So it was on the stairs."

"I didn't do anything with Keara," Aiden opened Anya's blanket and pulled his wife's body from the bed. "Dry your hair. Don't get a cold,"

"Hmm..." Anya nodded her head obediently.

Aiden picked up a dry towel and hair dryer. Like an obedient child, Anya sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Aiden to help dry her hair.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Aiden asked.

"I love you..." Anya whispered in a low voice. Her hands tightly hugged Aiden's waist.

Aiden's heart felt warm every time he heard a statement of love from his wife. He stroked Anya's head and wanted to kiss her forehead, but Anya avoided him.

The expression on Aiden's face immediately stiffened. "I have nothing to do with Keara. Don't think anything weird. Everything will be over soon,"

Everything would be over soon?

What would be finished? Aiden's relationship with Keara or his marriage to Anya?

Anya didn't know what Aiden meant and didn't dare to ask. She didn't dare to hear the answer.

"Hmm...Take a shower. I'll dry my hair myself," she thought about Aiden's lips that had kissed Keara and felt sick. She didn't want to accept it. She did not want to accept a kiss from Aiden after the man kissed another woman.

Aiden looked at Anya. "Did you see it?"

"What?" Anya lifted her head and looked at Aiden with an expression feigning confusion.

Aiden's eyes looked complicated. Anya wouldn't have reacted like this if she hadn't known Keara kissed him. At the time this happened, his back turned to Anya, so Aiden thought that Anya might not see him.

Aiden didn't want Anya to think about this problem so he didn't tell her. It would be better for Anya not to know, than to get the wrong idea.

"No, nothing. I'm going to take a shower," Aiden said at last. Then, he went to the bathroom.

Anya stared at the bathroom and laughed at herself. "Has my role as a substitute ended?"
