Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 372

"Isn't this the same tree?" Aiden asked suspiciously.
"This is not the same tree. This is the tree that I planted with my own hands. So I moved it to this place. If you don't like it, I will get rid of it," Anya replied.
It was careless of her to talk to him that way. She should have considered Aiden's feelings more by not planting a Bergamot tree in his garden. Even if this wasn't the same tree, Aiden would still get jealous.
"No need," Aiden said calmly.
Anya could see that her husband was still upset. Therefore, she took Aiden's hand and invited him to go to the park. She led him under the tree and looked at him with a smile.
"This tree will be our love tree. It will rain tonight. After the rain, I'm sure the roots will grow stronger," Anya said. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Aiden on the lips.
She had just finished taking a shower. Anya was seen only wearing flat house slippers so that she stood on tiptoe since she couldn't reach Aiden's lips.
Meanwhile, Aiden stood very tall, not intending to lower his head. "There are so many trees in this world. Why did you choose bergamot?"
"Because I am a parfumeur. Most of the perfumes I create use bergamot," Anya calmly replied.
When he heard this, Aiden felt much relieved. It turned out that Anya didn't like this tree because of Raka.
Her love tree with Raka had long died. And yet she planted the same tree and made it her love tree with Aiden. How could Aiden like it?
But it turned out that Anya liked this tree because bergamot was one of the main ingredients she used to create perfume. She just liked this tree and it had nothing to do with Raka at all.
If that's the reason, Aiden wouldn't make a fuss.
His little wife was too plain and simple. She just wanted to plant her favorite perfume ingredients in the garden of the house.

Anya was still young and childish. Aiden shouldn't be blindly jealous like this.
When he thought about it, the irritation in Aiden's heart slowly disappeared. Seeing his little wife in front of him, Aiden reached out his hand to grab her chin. "Since this is a tree that you like, leave it here. But you can only remember my kiss,"
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Anya on the lips. Anya's eyes immediately closed and her lips smiled happily.
Hana put her homemade food on the table and intended to call Aiden and Anya over for dinner, but Diana immediately stopped her.
"Leave them alone," Diana said with a smile.
Seeing this, Hana also laughed. "They really love each other,"
"Yes. It would be better if they had children soon," Diana also dreamed of a grandchild.
"Anya is trying to take good care of herself and now her health is getting better. Maybe we'll hear the good news soon," Hana helped Diana, pushing her wheelchair to the dining table and helping her to the dining chair.
Diana could still use her hands, but her legs were still so weak that she had to slowly try to recover.
Outside the window, two souls were kissing under the bergamot tree, until the sky began to rain.
Anya was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to news on the internet. Natali continuously spread dubious gossip and did all she could to destroy Anya's reputation.
Aiden said that Raka would solve this problem and Anya trusted her husband. If indeed Raka couldn't finish it well, Aiden would immediately step in.
How could he allow the woman he loved to be insulted so badly?
Before Aiden came home from work, Anya took the time to look at news on the internet and found that all social media and news spread by Natali were blocked.
Mona's recordings had also been deleted from the internet, even though the recordings sent by Anya were still circulating.

Mona threw the first stone to Anya, but it turned out that she got hit by the same weapon she used...
At dinner, Aiden told everyone the shocking news. "I heard, Deny and Mona have agreed to divorce. But they won't announce it for a while,"
"Is it true?" Anya was shocked to hear that.
"Natali will be engaged to Raka. That's why they don't want to announce this divorce for a while. Deny felt very disappointed in Mona after hearing the recording of Anya and Mona's conversation," Diana said.
"Now he's realized the truth. At least he still had the money to save his life. If he continues to live with Mona forever, he won't have any possessions left for his retirement," Aiden said.
"What do you mean? What did Mrs. Mona do with all my dad's money?" Anya asked.
"I heard, Mona has a relationship with Deny's assistant. Just like Imel with Heru," Aiden answered.
Diana cleared her throat softly. "Well, this is a matter for the Tedjasukmana Family. I don't want you to get involved,"
"Don't worry, Mom. He is not my real father. I remember what they all did to me. Even though Mrs. Mona ran away with another man, I never intend to interfere. It's none of my business," Anya said calmly.
"You can ignore the Tedjasukmana Family, but Imel will immediately act. If she wanted to get out of this plagiarism scandal, she would attack Mother. We have to think of a strategy to deal with her," Aiden said.
Hearing this, Anya knew that Aiden must be hiding something from her.
She had been accompanying her mother to work in the garden all day so that she didn't have time to pay attention to the news about Imel.
"Did Imel say something?" Anya asked.
Aiden shook his head. "Imel issued an announcement through Amore's official website. She denied her relationship with Mona and said that she did not buy the perfume recipe,"
"She denied it? I've recorded evidence from father and Mrs. Mona. She absolutely stole my mother's recipe! How can she deny it and just walk away?" Anya felt so angry.
That woman was really shameless. She even used all kinds of means to clear her name.
"You are too innocent, Anya. I made that recipe ten years ago, when I was still a co-worker at Amore. She didn't imitate anyone. She could deny all these accusations and said that she was only trying to protect Amore and did not want Amore's formula to leak onto the internet," Diana said.
Aiden's brows were furrowed. "We can't do anything, unless we know what actually happened about the explosion in the laboratory,"
"Mother, why did you leave Amore at that time?" Anya asked.
Diana took a deep breath when she heard her daughter's question. "At that time, I just got divorced and my mood was in turmoil. I was injured in that explosion. My face was crushed and I lost my sense of smell. As a parfumeur, my career has been ruined. I also lost my perfume recipe in the explosion so Imel felt angry. I bursted out in anger and decided to get out of Amore then went abroad for treatment,"
"Suddenly, the missing recipe came back. Imel could tell that she paid a heavy price for the recipe that belonged to Amore. If we keep attacking Imel, she will strike back one day," Aiden suggested they left Imel alone for a while.
It's still not the right time to attack…
But Anya still couldn't accept it. "Imel is so shameless. It is my mother's recipe. Why is it hers now? Amore's perfume recipes belong to my mother. And Imel has to take responsibility for the explosion that happened ten years ago," she said with a furious look.
