"Anya, why are you daydreaming? Sit beside me," Aiden said.

Anya was stunned for a moment and then realized. It turned out that Aiden got up to make room for her, not for Keara.

​​

She walked to her seat and leaned closer to Aiden. Anya then sat by the window, while Aiden sat beside her.

Keara's smile instantly froze on her face. She thought she could sit next to Aiden. She also got up to give her place to Anya. However, Anya got to sit beside Aiden instead.

Her place should be beside Aiden. If only she wasn't engaged to Ivan, how could Anya be next to Aiden?

Anya looked at Aiden silently. She couldn't understand what Aiden was thinking!

He asked Keara to have dinner with him, then why did Aiden call her too?

Now, the three of them must feel uncomfortable as their situation turned awkward.

Aiden could feel the doubt in Anya's heart. After Anya sat down, his hand immediately held Anya's little hand under the table.

Anya tried to release Aiden's grip, but Aiden didn't let her. He held Anya's hand tighter.

Aiden played with her again!

Why was he doing all this in front of Keara? Did Aiden intentionally give Keara hope and then hurt her?

"Keara, Anya is sitting next to me. No need to give your chair to her. Sit down!" Aiden's words broke the awkwardness between them.

Keara smiled faintly. "At first, I wanted to sit down with Anya so we could talk. But you are too possessive,"

"Anya is too young to talk to you," Aiden said. The man then raised his hand to call the servant.

The waiter came with a menu and asked politely. "What would you like to order?"

"Please recommend something. She doesn't like chives and cilantro," Aiden told the waiter.

"Aiden! I didn't expect you to remember it," Keara said on purpose.

Anya's face turned pale in an instant. Couldn't Keara hide her feelings for Aiden a little? At least she could refrain herself from saying it in front of the man's wife's face…

She thought Aiden wanted Anya to sit beside him to show their relationship as husband and wife. But when ordering food, he deliberately told the waiter all the food that Keara didn't like. What did Aiden really want to do?

Over the years, Aiden still remembered things that Keara hated. If not love, then what was it called?

Anya could only watch all this in silence. Her whole body stiffened and her face became a little gloomy.

"Would you like to try a set menu for couples?" The waiter asked with a smile. "The guests who came and ordered a menu set for couples at this restaurant really enjoyed their dinner. It'll surely add the romantic side,"

"Then, I ordered a couple set menu, without the green onion and coriander," Aiden glanced at Anya gently, "What do you want to drink?"

"I?" Anya pointed to her face in confusion.

"Who else?" Aiden reached out and poked her forehead gently. "What do you think?"

Anya herself just realized that she didn't like chives and coriander. She would usually put it aside or eat it forcefully, but never once did she tell Aiden that she didn't like it.

Anya herself might not have realized that Aiden didn't tell her. How did Aiden know?

At first, she thought the couple's set was for Aiden and Keara. But it turned out to be for her!

"It's up to you. You choose," Anya said with a slightly sparkling face. She immediately turned her gaze towards Keara. She could see Keara's face was still smiling. The smile looked bland, there was neither happiness nor anger.

But the truth was, Keara felt as if her heart was stabbed repeatedly with a sharp knife so that she could not breathe.

In front of her, Aiden and Anya ordered a pair set menu.

She thought Aiden asked her out on a date so the relationship between them could change, back to how it used to be. But she didn't expect Anya to come too.

She couldn't sit calmly in that place anymore while seeing Aiden and Anya flaunting their intimacy. After all, her goal in coming to this place had already been accomplished. She looked at someone in the corner of the room.

"Aiden, I feel a little unwell. You guys eat. I'll go home first," Keara suddenly stood up.

"Keara, what's wrong? Should we take you to the hospital?" Anya asked worriedly.

"No need. I just need to rest at home," Keara smiled faintly.

"I'll have my driver take you home," Aiden said.

"Thank you," Keara laughed. "Let's meet again next time,"

Aiden looked like he didn't listen to Keara's words. He didn't respond at all.

His gaze was fixed on Anya. His eyes were soft while his lips were smiling lovingly.

Keara felt the pain in her heart getting worse. She felt very uneasy. Aiden didn't even care about her.

As she was leaving, Aiden didn't even say goodbye to her. He just told his driver to drive her back, only to show formality.

Keara had taken the initiative to ask him to meet next time, but Aiden didn't respond at all. Maybe he didn't want to see her again.

"You guys eat! I'll go first. Goodbye," Keara waved her hand at them.

"See you again, Keara," Anya also waved her hand, but Aiden didn't say anything. He didn't even look at Keara in the slightest.

After getting into the elevator, Keara leaned against the wall with a pale face and empty eyes.

Inside the restaurant, Anya's face didn't look any better than Keara's. Her eyes looked confused because she didn't understand. What was Aiden really thinking?

It was clear that he was planning to date Keara. He knew that Keara still loved him and deliberately asked her to have dinner together. However, he suddenly turned cold and hurt her.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. Aren't you afraid of running out of breath?" Aiden sneered when he saw Anya trying to hold back all the questions that were spinning in her brain.

"Aiden, what do you really want? Why did you call me here?" Anya asked.

"I want you to try the food in this place," Aiden replied as if nothing had happened.

"What about Keara? If you don't want to date her, you shouldn't give her false hopes and hurt her!" Anya said.

"Anya, someone intended to steal your husband but you didn't do anything. I rejected her right in front of you. Do you think I'm cruel? Do you want me to accept her?" Aiden looked at Anya.

"No," Anya lowered her head.

"Is it true?" Aiden looked at Anya's face, waiting for her answer.

"I… I came here to meet Mrs. Esther. I didn't intend to disturb you," Anya said in a weak voice.

Aiden then looked at Anya. His gaze looked much gentler. He didn't care about Anya's reasons. The important thing was that his wife came!

"I'm glad you came."

Anya felt confused. What Nico said was true. She came to screw up Aiden's date, but Aiden wasn't angry. In fact, he was very happy.

While she was still deep in confusion, a servant came to bring their food.

The food looked very delicious with various attractive colors, arousing the appetite of those who see it. Indeed, the place was considered an upscale restaurant.

The waiter served very delicious tender meat steaks and salmon with a variety of side dishes that were no less appetizing.

After that, they brought chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

"I've wanted to take you to this place for a long time. Finally, I could do it today," Aiden took a tissue and gently wiped the remaining ice cream that was still stuck on the corner of Anya's lips.
