"Poor Alisa, she lost her mother from birth. Did Jonathan return to his home after his wife died?" Anya asked worriedly.

"After his wife died, he took his child overseas and occasionally returned to his home. Over the past two years, his family has arranged many blind dates for him," Aiden looked at Anya's face and saw that the woman's face in front of him looked calm.

​​

Anya didn't care about Jonathan's partner at all.

"I didn't expect Jonathan to experience all that. He lost the woman he loved and had to raise his young daughter alone. In addition, he had to carry out his responsibilities in his family. I have to help him more often," Anya said.

Aiden's eyes burned when he heard that. He almost choked.

Why didn't Anya's reaction match his expectation? He told all this, not to make Anya feel sorry for Jonathan and his daughter, but to make her stay away from them.

The Srijaya family didn't want to accept Jonathan's ex-wife. Of course they wouldn't accept Anya who came from a similar family background either.

In addition, a man who gave up his wife's and his daughter's lives for wealth did not deserve to be kept.

If only Jonathan had been willing to live simply, maybe his family wouldn't force him like this.

"Two years ago, the person who killed the child in your womb was Ms. Maria. Now, you blame me for not wanting to defend you at that time. Don't you feel the same about Jonathan?" Aiden took Anya's hand and walked towards their car park.

Anya immediately stopped walking. "You mean Jonathan left his wife and child to return to the Srijaya Family?"

"He left his wife and child for wealth, while I was forced to do all this. How can you accept Jonathan, but not me?" Aiden asked bitterly.

"Aiden, do I have to forgive you if you still don't realize where you went wrong?" Anya replied calmly.

"Three DNA test results showed that you are Ms. Maria's child. What could I do then? I even thought about leaving everything behind and taking you out of the country. We can't have children for life and live together forever. But you are still young and I have a long future for you. I can't be selfish. Every day I was filled with fear, worried that you would find out we are related by blood," Aiden said, closing his eyes. "What I decided at that time was the best choice for you."

"The best choice according to you… but not in my opinion. If only you had told me the truth two years ago, I wouldn't have wanted to divorce you and I would never have given up my child. I prefer to go abroad with you. Medicine abroad is very advanced. As long as there is a single hope that our child can be born healthy, I will not give up." When she said that, Anya's calm face immediately collapsed. Tears rolled down her face.

"Anya ..."

"Why do you have to decide everything alone? What's your right to determine the life and death of my child? You know very well the longer I work in the perfume industry, the more difficult it is for me to have children. Why did you have to force me to give up my child?" Anya cried and pulled her hand from Aiden's grip.

"Anya, I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you," Aiden said regretfully.

"I don't need your protection. From today on, I don't want to see you again. Let me go and forget me," Anya turned and left Aiden alone.

Seeing Anya running, Aiden was worried. It was already night, it wasn't good for a woman to come home alone in the middle of the night like this. As Aiden was chasing her, he saw Anya hail a taxi and disappear from his sight.

Anya's words kept ringing in Aiden's ears. Was it true that he made the wrong decisions?

'If only you had told me the truth two years ago, I wouldn't have wanted to divorce you and I would never have given up my child. I'd prefer to go abroad with you. Medicine abroad is very advanced. As long as there is only a trace of hope that our child can be born healthy, I will not give up.'

Aiden just found out that this was what Anya had been thinking and feeling all this time!

Anya knew that her mother could not have any more children because she was working like crazy. Just like her mother, her love for the perfumery world was immense.

She didn't want to lose her career, but the longer she worked, the less likely it was that she would have children.

Two years ago, Anya struggled to keep her child. But the Atmajaya Family destroyed everything.

Aiden understood why Anya loved Alisa so much. It was because Anya had lost her daughter, while Alisa, who was still young, could not get love from her mother.

Without realizing it, Anya took over the role of Alisa's mother and considered Alisa as a substitute for her child.

Anya didn't fall in love with Jonathan, but she did fall in love with a little girl named Alisa.

Once back in the car, Aiden immediately called Harris. "Anya went home by taxi. Wait at her house until she comes. After that, you can go home."

"Yes sir," Harris replied.

Aiden thought for a moment and then said, "Give the phone to Nadine."

Harris immediately gave his cellphone to Nadine who was beside him. Nadine took the cell phone in horror and answered it nervously. "Uncle, when we got home from work earlier, Raka sent flowers to my aunt and I stopped him."

Aiden's eyes deepened when he heard the news from Nadine. "I gave you an assignment. Tomorrow, Anya will pick up a little girl named Alisa at the airport. You…"

"Uncle, if I can stop auntie from becoming the stepmother of that child, can you forgive me?" Nadine interrupted pitifully.

"Hmm..." Aiden replied.

"I promise to do my job well. Thank you, uncle!" Nadine saw a taxi from a distance and said quickly, "Auntie is back. I'll hang up."

She returned the cellphone to Harris and ran to get to Anya. She even opened the door for her. "Auntie, you are back!"

Anya wiped her tears and took a deep breath before getting out of the taxi, as if nothing had happened. "You're not home yet?"

"I've returned your bicycle to the house and this is your flower," Nadine said while giving the flower bouquet from Raka.

"There are lots of flowers here. You can keep this bouquet," Anya turned to Harris, who was waiting not far from their place. "It's late already. Go home and rest,"

"Auntie, what are you going to do tomorrow? I'm off and I'll borrow my brother's car. I want to take you for a stroll. I haven't been home for five years. I want to go around town and sightseeing," Nadine said, pretending she didn't know anything.

"You're off tomorrow?" Anya thought for a moment.

Nadine owned a car and could help her pick up Alisa. "Pick me up tomorrow morning. I'll take you for a walk. "

"Good! See you tomorrow, Auntie!" Nadine ran towards Harris happily.

During the trip home, Nadine sat in the back seat of her bicycle while Harris rode it.

She hugged Harris's waist and her head rested on the man's back.

Harris was so nervous that he didn't dare move an inch.

"Harris, do you think my uncle and aunt can get back together?" Nadine asked, looking up at the sky.

She felt that all of this was partly her mistake.

She had a hand in destroying her uncle and aunt's happiness. And she hoped to fix everything…

Hopefully, it's still not too late.
