"What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking of why I don't want to be your wife anymore," Anya answered with a faint smile.

​​

Aiden's face changed slightly at that. "Then what's the answer?"

"Maybe because I don't love you that much now. I love myself more, I care more about my own feelings, and I don't want to hurt myself," Anya replied after thinking carefully.

Aiden nodded at Anya's answer. He knew that Anya was taking good care of her heart and did not want to entrust it to anyone carelessly.

That's because Aiden already wounded her two years ago.

Now he just needed to prove that he would never hurt Anya again. He would take care of her and protect her, even with his life.

"There's no need to rush. You can think about it slowly."

"I am willing to forget everything and live my life with a new love. But I really don't have the courage to lean back against the same tree. Nothing can guarantee we will be happy if we are together again," Anya seriously said.

Aiden knew that Anya was afraid her heart would be hurt again.

She still couldn't accept him because of what happened two years ago.

But Aiden had plenty of time. And he had the confidence to get Anya's love and gain her trust again.

At this moment, Aiden was speechless, and he could only hug Anya tightly.

Anya leaned in his arms, smelling the man's familiar scent. She felt very comfortable…

Unconsciously, her hand tightly hugged Aiden's waist. They hugged each other without saying anything, just listening to each other's heartbeats in peace.

At home, Aiden went straight to his study, while Anya took a shower first.

After they finished taking a shower, Anya found Aiden hadn't gone back in their room.

Anya got up and took her cell phone which was lying on the table, and saw Tara calling her on a video call.

When she saw a familiar room, Tara immediately smiled mischievously and teased her. "Anya..."

"What..." Anya glared at her friend.

"Have you returned to Aiden's house? Aiden called me and asked me to come up with a new vitamin prescription for you. He said you were ovulating, he asked me to make a recipe for uterine fertilization. Looks like he really wants a child from you," after saying this, Tara felt that her words offended Anya a little. She immediately tried to explain, "Anya, I don't intend to..."

"Aiden is right. It is difficult for me to get pregnant, so I have to take lots of medicine and vitamins. And only you can do it for me. If I'm not pregnant, the fault lies in your poor abilities. I will make you pay for it," Anya said half jokingly.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!" Tara said, patting her chest and promising, "I promise and I'll bet my breast on it!"

Anya laughed seeing her.

"Your breasts are not that big. If you use them as collateral, don't blame me if yours will get flatter than before."

"You are so cruel, you can still laugh. Anyway you have to take all the vitamins that I prescribe, do you understand? If you can't get pregnant quickly, don't lose hope yet. Even if it's not in a short time, you will definitely succeed," Tara said.

"I didn't have much hope. Let what meant to happen, happen," Anya said with a faint smile. "Then, did you call me because of this?"

"No. I have a problem. My grandfather wanted to match me with the eldest son of the Srijaya Family. He said, if I don't intend to marry Nico, I need to think about it carefully because I'm not young anymore," Tara scratched her head. "I don't want to marry anyone. How about this?"

"Aiden and I have solved our problem. Then why are you still worried? If you keep stalling like this, aren't you afraid that another woman will snatch Nico from you?" Anya said.

Tara pursed her lips. "Nico is my fiancé, no one can take him away."

"Nico is very sincere to you. Don't hang him like this. Two years have passed and your relationship is still unclear. It's no wonder your grandfather thought you weren't interested in the Atmajaya Family and wanted to set you up with another man. Alisa, the little girl who was at my house a few days ago is the daughter of Jonathan Srijaya. If you marry him, you will be the stepmother of someone else's child!" Anya said on purpose.

"Oh no! Why don't you tell me something that important? He has a child, but he still has the courage to find a wife!" Tara said coldly. "The Atmajaya family has many very respectable single men in this city, but they are not openly looking for wives. Who exactly is this Srijaya Family? They sure are arrogant!"

"Nico's been waiting for you for two years. It is better for you to marry him than to be a stepmother. If you really love him, it's better not to delay anymore," Anya was very worried about Tara and Nico's relationship. She was afraid that Tara would miss her chance and regret it later.

For two years, Tara had refused to marry Nico. How could the Atmajaya Family not know?

There were no suitable women for Nico now, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be a future.

"I understand," Tara answered.

"Tomorrow, I will go back to work. Go to Iris and let's have lunch together," Anya said.

"Did you know that Mrs. Hana also sends healthy food to my clinic every day?" Tara said.

"We are all family. You have to give children and extend the Atmajaya family line later. That's why you also have to eat healthy and nutritious food," Anya said seriously.

"Don't place your responsibility on me. I will heal you. If not, maybe all the Atmajaya Family's eyes will be on my stomach later when I marry Nico."

Tara also had her own worries.

If Anya could not conceive, she might be demanded to bear many children since she was the wife of Nico, the only grandson in the Atmajaya Family.

After all, the more children, the more happiness in the family.

That was also one of the reasons why she didn't want to marry Nico yet.

Ivan didn't even have a girlfriend until now. Even if Bima remarried, he was too old and could not have children.

Even if Aiden and Anya got back together, they might not be able to have children for a while.

If Nico and Tara got married, maybe the whole Atmajaya Family would urge them to have kids quickly. How many children should she have then?

Tara didn't feel that it was the right time to get married. She would wait until Anya's health recovered. That way, she'd have someone in the family who would help her to give children for the Atmajaya's bloodline.

"Tara, you can give birth to twins and give one of them to me," Anya said with a smile.

"I don't think twins are enough. I may need to give birth to quadruplets. One for you and Aiden, one for Ivan, one for Aunt Maria and one for Nico's grandfather. Then, I can go back to my clinic to make money," Tara laughed.

"If I really can, I'll consult your grandfather. Who knows, he might have a secret recipe for giving birth to many children," Anya said half jokingly.

"If my grandfather had a secret recipe like that, he would be very rich now. Giving birth to children depends on fate," Tara said.

Anya nodded, then she saw Aiden come into the room so she immediately ended the call. "It's already late. Go to sleep. See you tomorrow!"

Aiden walked to the edge of the bed and looked at Anya gently. "Are you waiting for me?"
