Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Auntie…" Tara looks reluctant, but was forced to say it for the sake of the gift. 

"I can't hear you," Anya teased once again.

"Anyaaa ..." Tara went straight to Anya and tickled her waist. Not wanting to lose, Anya also tickled back. Laughter could be heard from their room and reached the corridor.

The laughter was so familiar to Nico that he immediately ran to find Aiden.

Upon hearing that Anya had come, Aiden immediately rushed to the bridal changing room to meet her.

He could hear Anya's cheerful laughter and tell that the three women inside were having a good time. Aiden's lips were smiling when he heard the laughter he missed. His hand was ready to open the door, but it fell back down beside him.

"Uncle, do you want to come in?" Nico asked.

"No need. If Anya is ready to meet me, she will definitely come looking for me. Leave them alone," Aiden left his bodyguard at the door on guard and left with Nico.

Tara looks excited after getting the gift from Anya. Then she said to Anya, "If there were only us, I would still call you Anya. But in front of mother and grandfather, or other family elders, I will call you aunt," she said.

Anya patted her friend's shoulder happily. "It turns out that I got a lot of benefits after marrying Aiden. For one, I'm in a higher seniority than you all so you have to call me aunt!"

"Are you happy?" Tara snorted. But she couldn't hide her happiness because she had received a gift from Anya.

She was not short of money. In addition, her clinic was getting bigger and continued to open branches. Tara was practically filthy rich.

But getting a gift from her best friend is happiness in itself for her. Money is not a measure, but the good wish behind it that prays her marriage can last a lifetime means a lot.

"Auntie, when are you going to go again? After the guests leave, how about we chat and eat first? Let's eat with our family. I'll tell Harris to pick up Arka and Aksa," Nadine wants to keep Anya there, at least so that her aunt meets her uncle.

"Do you want me to meet Aiden?" Anya had guessed what Nadine meant. "He still has a lot of fans around him. What am I for?"

"How come you know?" Nadine is surprised to see it.

"She arrived early and hid in the distance to watch this event, to see Aiden to be more precise. Her name is Agnes and she is your cousin. I wonder why your father even brought that woman to this party. Plus, she puts her eyes on your husband. Wouldn't that mean your father indirectly brings harm to your marriage?" Tara said.

Anya laughs at Tara's annoyance. "Don't blame my dad. He is just too kind and he treats everyone sincerely. Even before knowing that I was his only daughter, he always tried to help me,"

Nadine took a deep breath. "I know your father is a good person. But it looks like Agnes is not a good woman. I heard that she will open a dance school and settle down in Indonesia."

Tara held out her hand in annoyance and frustration. "If she wants to open a dance school, she should just focus on her school. No need to think about someone else's husband."

"If Aiden is easily seduced by other women, so be it. I will leave him," Anya said with a smile.

"Impossible. He only loves you, auntie," Nadine laughed and asked again. "Anyway, how about my offer earlier? Do you want to eat first before you go again?"

"Come on, let's eat first before you go," Tara also persuaded Anya.

"Good. But keep my presence a secret. Now, hurry back to the venue. How can the main stars of this show hide with me?" Anya immediately kicked them both out.

When she saw the bodyguard at the door, Anya was stunned for a moment. She knew that it was Aiden's bodyguard. "Madam, Mr. Aiden asked me to stand guard here and not disturb you. If you are tired, you can rest in this room. If there's anything you need, just tell me."

"Aiden asked you to guard me here?" Anya's face looked disappointed.

"He told me to accompany you if you wanted to go and did not stop you," the guard replied. He was there to protect Anya, not to hold her back.

"Tell Aiden to come here and see me," Anya turned and entered the room again.

When he knew that Anya wanted to meet him, Aiden immediately ran as fast as possible. He left the room, not caring if he had to welcome the guests.

When he opened the door, he saw his little wife sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed. Her feet were lifted up on the sofa, and her face was buried in her knees as he crouched in the corner. She was like a lost child, only able to hug herself as she tried to find a way out of this world.

Anya did not open her eyes even though she heard familiar footsteps.

After entering the room, Aiden closed the door and walked towards the edge of the sofa. He sat beside Anya and stretched out his hand, waiting for her to accept it.

Anya looked at Aiden, not welcoming the helping hand, but not rejecting it either.

Aiden took Anya into his arms softly and whispered, "You're back!"

"Hmm..." Anya muttered as she closed her eyes once again, resting her head on her husband's chest.

Anya was so small, so tiny in his arms. But Aiden felt like he had regained a part of himself that had disappeared.

The man took Anya into his lap and felt his little wife getting lighter. "I miss you so much," he whispered.

Anya didn't say anything, but she buried her body deeper in Aiden's arms and smelled her husband's perfume.

She knew this fragrance, it was the one that she gave...

"A while ago, I had a small surgery," said Aiden.

"When we were on the island, I felt you were hiding something from me," Anya lifted her head and hugged Aiden's neck, as she always did. She looked anxiously at her husband's handsome face. "Are you okay?"

"After I got home, I had all the company matters sorted out and gone for surgery. I've had a lot of rest and I'm recovering the last few weeks," Aiden replied.

"Do you also want to hear me say that I have recovered?" Anya stared at him deeply.

"Anya, let me face all this together with you. There's no need to pretend to be okay, no need to pretend to be happy. I want to share everything with you," Aiden looked at her with his gentle yet sorrowful eyes.

Anya was finally back and he didn't want to lose her again!

"You are sick, but you don't want to tell me anything about it. I know you thought of something else. I can only pretend I'm getting better so as not to make you worry even more. I don't want to add to your burden. Luckily, the doctor said I was getting better and you are recovering." Anya hugged Aiden's neck, leaning her forehead against the man's. 

"Aiden, do you still love me?"

"I love you. I love you and will always love you until the end of my life," Aiden replied.

"I love you too. I'm sorry for everything I said when I was sick. I said I wanted a divorce, I said I wanted to leave you, but none of them were my wish. At that time, I just wanted to run away from that life, so…"

Without waiting for Anya to finish her sentence, Aiden immediately held the back of her head and kissed her lips.

"I…" Anya wanted to finish her words, but Aiden didn't let her go.

He didn't care what Anya said before. The important thing is, Anya still loves him and he loves her a lot too.

Aiden doesn't want to let Anya go for the second time. The more he kissed Anya's lips, the more the love he felt. He really loves this woman in front of him. He loves his wife more than himself.

Finally, Aiden just let go of Anya after she was out of breath.

He leaned over and whispered, "You are finally back. Do you want to leave me again?"
