Anya felt her head getting dizzy. She did not expect that the situation would turn out like this.

"Aiden, don't wait for me. You deserve better," Anya looked at Aiden with a smile. "We'll move on from the past starting today. I don't want to hate you anymore."

​​

"But I still love you. I don't want any other woman even if they're better than you. I just want you," it wasn't easy for Aiden to reveal this in front of everyone. But he was afraid that he would lose his chance to say this.

Anya's eyes were slightly red, but she tried to stay calm. "I may never be able to get pregnant again or give you a child. Besides, I still want to work as a parfumeur. I won't give up my career just to make you happy."

"I'm not asking you to give up your career. And I also don't mind if I don't have kids. But I can't live without you," Aiden held Anya's hand tightly, not allowing her to run away from him.

"Looks like you don't believe in my ability," Tara suddenly joined in their conversation.

"As a dentist, you better keep quiet in times like this," Nico ruffled Tara's hair.

"What's wrong with being a dentist? I can still heal Anya. I can even make her have as many kids as the soccer team! Don't you believe me?" Tara argued, shaking Nico's hand off her head.

"You only talk big!" Nico purposely pissed Tara off.

"What if I could do it?"

"I promise I'll work hard for you for the rest of my life," Nico replied.

Tara looked around and said, "You are all witnesses! If I can heal Anya, Nico will be my slave forever!"

"I've recorded it!" Harris picked up his cell phone.

Anya could only look at Harris in disbelief. Harris was truly extraordinary. Who could have thought about recording at a time like this?

No wonder he could be Aiden's assistant. Anya felt amazed and increasingly annoyed at Harris at the same time.

"Did you hear that? There is proof of the recording!" Tara laughed proudly.

"We will see later!" Nico said with a smile. Maybe Tara didn't realize it, but if it went this way, Nico could be in her life forever.

Even if he had to become Tara's slave, at least Nico could stay beside her all his life.

After dinner, Nico drove Tara home, while Nadine and Harris went home together.

Anya went upstairs with Alisa and bathed her. Meanwhile, Diana invited Aiden to chat in the family room.

Diana gave Aiden a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you." The man accepted with a nod.

After that, Diana sat across from Aiden. "I can see you really like my daughter," she took her teacup and drank it elegantly. "Life is like tasting tea. If you don't like it, you can leave it."

"Are you asking me to leave Anya?" Aiden asked.

"Anya is still young. If she continues to take care of her health, maybe her condition will improve. As for her career, there is no research that says that working in the perfume world can cause female fertility to decline. It just happened to me and might not have any effect on others. But Anya was born with a weak body and she fell sick often when she was a child," Diana saod calmly.

Aiden nodded, "Anya is still very young. As long as she is willing to try to maintain her health, nothing will happen to her."

"Two years ago, Anya hid the French Academy acceptance letter from you and chose to bear the child for you. At that time, she sacrificed her career for you. Now, you can't force her to do the same. If you are not willing to accept it, at least you have to make sacrifices this time,"

"I already said that it's okay not to have children, but I can't live without Anya," Aiden said, repeating his previous words.

Diana put down her teacup and looked at Aiden seriously. "But I'm afraid you still have hope. I don't want you to be disappointed. Instead of being disappointed after coming back with Anya, it's better that you prepare yourself to live without having children from now on,"

At that moment, Anya was standing on the edge of the stairs upstairs, listening to their conversation clearly.

She didn't know how Aiden would answer her mother's words. Asking him to be ready to live childless now seemed too cruel. After all, one could not help hoping to have their own child someday.

Aiden had a handsome face and extraordinary intelligence. It's a shame that he couldn't have children.

"I am responsible for everything that happened to Anya. What's the point in having children when I can't live with the woman I love? I don't want to marry a woman I don't love just for a child. I just need Anya in my life," Aiden said with a smile on his face.

That answer made Diana nod in relief, "I didn't judge you wrong. You…"

"Mama, where are you?" Alisa's voice was heard from upstairs.

Diana and Aiden immediately looked upstairs, they saw Anya carrying Alisa and left their sight. Both of them then realized that Anya had heard their conversation.

Finally, Aiden decided to leave home after that.

In her room, Anya had just escorted Alisa to the bathroom and was ready to sleep.

"Mama won't be able to sleep if Alisa cried all night like yesterday," Anya said while covering Alisa.

"Alisa won't cry. If I cry, my eyes will be swollen and I will look ugly in my photos tomorrow," Alisa replied seriously.

"Anya..." Diana stood at the door of Anya's room and called her.

"Grandma is looking for mama. Mama will turn on a song for you and you should go to sleep. Okay?" Anya put her cell phone beside the nightstand, playing a lullaby for Alisa.

"Hurry back," Alisa said.

Anya turned off the lights and left the lamp beside the nightstand on.

Then, she headed downstairs where her mother was talking to Aiden earlier.

"Tonight, you sleep in my room, let me take care of Alisa," Diana said.

"If Alisa looks for me tonight, she will cry again," Anya took the tea cup prepared by her mother and tasted it. "Rose tea?"

"Bring some to your office tomorrow," Diana said.

Anya nodded. "Why are you looking for me?"

"You heard everything, right? What do you think?" Diana asked.

"What did I hear? I don't understand," Anya pretended not to know what her mother meant.

"Aiden wants to start a relationship with you again. Everyone can see that he still loves you. He doesn't mind even if he's not going to have his own children with you. Why don't you want to give him a chance?" Diana said.

"Even if Aiden agrees, his family won't say the same. How could the Atmajaya Family be willing to accept it?" Anya answered.

"If the family doesn't mind, will you accept it?" Diana asked.
