Chapter 843 - Strong Women
Anya felt very angry after hearing the news. She immediately went to meet her mother.
"What was he thinking? He knew that Jessica wanted to destroy my marriage with Aiden before. But he deliberately recruited her as his secretary!" Anya said angrily.
"I heard Jessica has a bad reputation and is often involved with a lot of people," Diana said.
"She approached many men in town, both young and old. She was even caught in a scandal with a rich old man twice her age. Your father recruited her as a secretary maybe because of a request from her father," said Indah.
Anya blinked her eyes and asked, "Mom, aren't you afraid that something will happen to him and Jessica?"
"Your father is not that kind of person," Indah and Diana said in unison.
"Why are you two defending him? Maybe dad isn't that kind of person, but what about Jessica?" Anya pouted.
"In all these years, do you think that no woman has attempted to get close to your father? Your father is a good man. Don't think of anything weird," said Indah.
"I just don't want to have a young stepmother. Especially someone as evil as Jessica," Anya still felt uncomfortable. But she and Indah are no longer involved with the Pratama Group.
Since they left, Aiden and Jonathan also gave up their shares. Now, none of them has the right to replace Jessica as the secretary or prevent Galih from accepting her as secretary.
As Galih's wife, Indah is not against it. And what can Anya do as the daughter her father does not like?
"Your father will not be tempted," said Indah with a smile.
…
A few days after Indah said it, it was like she was slapped by her own words.
News came to her ears, saying that Galih has a relationship with Jessica. Someone saw Jessica sitting on Galih's lap.
Indah was already sad because of the problem with Keara but she held on. But after this big news, she immediately sued for divorce Galih.
Galih refused to divorce her. Not only that, he also took Jessica abroad for a vacation together.
Anya did not expect that things would turn out like this. She was very worried for her mother and visited her.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Anya looked at Indah who was grilling fish in the garden.
"Diana and I went fishing this morning. And we were too lazy to cook lunch. Finally, we decided to grill the fish we got," said Indah casually.
"Isn't making instant noodles a lot easier than grilling fish?" Anya asked with a smile.
She looked at the grill in front of Indah. There was not only fish there, but also steak, various kinds of seafood, peppers, onions and so on. It really was like a party.
If they are really lazy to cook, they can just make fried rice with instant spices or just instant noodles.
"The rice is ready!" Diana came out of the house carrying cooked rice.
They took out a folding table and placed it in the shadow of a large tree. They both enjoyed their lunch.
"Mother, let me help!" Anya began to arrange plates and glasses, as well as cutlery.
"You came just in time! We were just about to eat." Diana picked up another set of cutlery for her daughter.
Anya felt very happy to see the atmosphere was fine. She's glad that they all ate very voraciously.
Indah took a plate and brought the fish she had just grilled. "Let's try this fish. It smells really good, doesn't it?"
"It's golden in color and smells great." Anya took her fork and tasted it. "Hmm! This is so delicious! Not too spicy either, the seasoning is just right!"
"Eat slowly. I will bring everything," Indah was very happy to see her daughter eating her food voraciously.
Diana also smiled and got up to help Indah. She took all the vegetables that had been cooked on the grill.
The three of them ate while chatting happily.
After finishing eating, Anya had just realized what her purpose in coming here was.
"Mom, dad took Jessica to go abroad for a vacation. I was worried that you would overthink about it so I came here to ask you how you felt. But it seems that you're fine," said Anya.
"What can I do? He is shameless but I still have self-respect. As long as he's not here and embarrasses me, I don't care what he does overseas. When he comes to his senses and wants to divorce me, I will tell you. Diana and I can take care of each other and spend our old age together in this park," Indah said with a smile.
After Indah said it, Diana smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"I also feel it was the right decision. When my children grow up, I don't want to work. At that time, I will often come to accompany you." Anya also wants to live a leisurely life, tending the garden like her mother.
Diana smiled as she looked at Indah and Anya. "I'm used to this very comfortable life. I'd rather not have to socialize. But being alone is also very lonely. I will be very happy if you come and accompany me."
"Diana, I wanted to ask a question earlier. Can I stay here with you after I get divorced?" Indah asked, even though she already knew the answer.
"Of course! We can chat about many things!" Diana answered.
"Before, Esther used to come here often. But after I stayed here, she rarely came here. Anya, tell her not to mind me," Indah said, feeling bad for Esther.
Anya nodded. "Before you lived here, I asked someone to accompany you often so you wouldn't be alone. Maybe she understands your current situation with dad."
"I don't mind if the three of us get together. The more people, the more fun it will be," said Indah.
"How about four people. Is it still okay?" Not knowing since when, Maria appeared at the door.
"Sister!" Anya immediately greeted her with a smile.
"I can smell the food from the front. Is there still some left? I'm hungry too," said Maria.
Diana smiled and got up to turn the meat on the grill. "Yes. Do you like it spicy?"
"Just not too spicy," Maria answered.
"I think four people are also fun. We can even play cards together. Can you guys play?" Indah asked.
"I can and Esther should too. But I don't know if Diana can do it," Maria asked, looking at Diana.
Diana laughed. "I only know a little bit."
"A little is more than enough. I just want the guys out there to know that women can live alone. We are all independent women who can live happily without men," Indah said with a smile.
Anya looked at the three women in front of her. Old lioness, but very strong. They were different, but they all decided to be alone forever, not needing a man to mend the wound in their hearts.
They are strong women who can live alone, without the help of men.
They are strong women who support each other.
Being surrounded by them made Anya realize her value.
She smiled at the happiness and strength they radiated.
