Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 26 - First Quarrel



Without looking back again, they immediately left the cafe. One of Aiden's bodyguards brought his office car back to the office so that he and Harris could go home with Anya, in Aiden's private car.

The sun was starting to set as they stood outside the cafe, waiting for Abdi to take the car and pick them up. The afternoon wind blew softly, sweeping the leaves scattered on the ground. The sunshine on that afternoon was bright and blinding. ​​

Aiden frowned as the sunlight struck his eyes. His eyes felt uncomfortable from the bright sunlight. Anya could see Aiden's uncomfortable expression so she immediately raised her hand, blocking the sun shining on the man's eyes. Even though her hands were small and couldn't be too helpful to block out the sunlight, at least she wanted to do something for Aiden who helped her a lot.

Harris immediately took out Aiden's sunglasses which he kept and immediately handed them to Anya. Anya tiptoed slightly to put the sunglasses on Aiden's face. As she did so, she could see Aiden's beautiful brown eyes appear brighter in the sun. Those eyeballs were so bright that she could see her reflection when Aiden was staring at her.

'Too bad these beautiful eyes can't see' Anya thought to herself.

She did not know that Aiden was currently looking closely at Anya's face. Even though the sunlight made his eyes feel uncomfortable and a little blurry, he could still faintly see the beautiful face of the woman in front of him. The make-up on the woman's face was completely removed after the woman cleaned her face, but her natural beauty still radiated amazingly. Her dark black eyes were staring straight into Aiden's eyes, making Aiden feel like he was going to sink into the darkness of her gaze.

He could see a smile blooming on the woman's face after putting the sunglasses on his face, as if she was happy to be able to provide a little help for Aiden. Anya's smile seemed contagious, making a faint smile appear on Aiden's face. This little gesture might seem simple, but anyone who witnessed it could feel the intimacy between the two of them. Too bad the two people seemed completely unaware of the atmosphere between them.

Meanwhile, Harris could only look at the two of them awkwardly and hoped that Abdi would come to pick them up soon. He felt like flies in the midst of this young, newly married couple. He could only stare at the two people making out with each other in confusion and did not know what to do. In the end, he tried to avert his gaze, staring at the road, the trees, or even the sky.

Fortunately, Harris's prayer was immediately answered. Aiden's luxurious black car stopped right in front of them. After that, Abdi immediately got out of the driver's seat to open the door for Aiden and Anya, while Harris immediately got into the front passenger seat.

Once sitting in the car, Aiden immediately closed his eyes. He rested his eyes, trying to ease the discomfort in his eyes from the bright sunlight. Seeing this, Anya felt a little worried. However, she didn't dare to say anything. She didn't want to disturb Aiden's rest, so she looked at the window, enjoying the view outside the car.

"Next time, don't be quiet if someone is bullying you." Aiden suddenly talked. He said this while keeping his eyes closed, not looking at Anya at all.

Aiden's words made Anya turn her head, retracting her gaze away from the window. She stared at Aiden's face for a moment before lowering her head in embarrassment.

"But, he is my father..."

Anya's answer made Aiden open his eyes. The look in those eyes was cold, not gentle like before, "You are Aiden Atmajaya's wife. If you are humiliated in public like that, my pride will also be hurt. Do you understand?" Aiden replied firmly.

Anya understood what Aiden meant. Aiden wanted to tell her that, as Aiden's wife, whatever she was doing right now represented the name Atmajaya, especially Aiden's name. If she could be bullied and humiliated by others at will, it would be tantamount to destroying Aiden's reputation. Anya must maintain her attitude and maintain the reputation that Aiden had as a member of the Atmajaya family.

"I would have fought if only Natali did it to me, but father ..." Anya did not finish the sentence she wanted to say. She wanted to say that she loved her father and would not commit any disrespectful act to her parents, regardless of how her parents treated her. However, she didn't dare to finish her sentence. She didn't dare explain her reason to Aiden.

In the end, Anya could only swallow her saliva again and shut her mouth. Aiden had helped her a lot. At least this was all Anya could do for the man. She should maintain her attitude and defend herself when being humiliated by others in public. She would not want to tarnish Aiden's name.

"Don't meet the Tedjasukmana Family again." Aiden said, demanding.

Anya did not intend to meet Natali again. She already understood what Natali's true nature was like. The woman she thought of as her sister didn't feel the same way to her. It would be better if they weren't related. The same would apply to the case with Natali's mother, Mona, who was now Mrs. Tedjasukmana. Anya had absolutely no intention of having anything to do with the two people again.

But what about her father?

She was her father's daughter. Her father's blood would forever flow in her body. Even though her father did not love her, even though her father did not care for and educate her, still, Deny Tedjasukmana was her real father. How could she not meet her own parents for life?

Aiden saw Anya shut her mouth tightly and her eyes gleamed with sadness. He could only sigh,

"Kindness and compassion are your greatest strength. But at the same time, those traits are also your weakness." Aiden tried to remind Anya.

"I know..." She replied softly.

Aiden was annoyed with the hesitation in Anya's answer. Indeed, his request was not something easy to fulfill, but Anya should have known better. How long had she been treated by her father like this? Didn't she realize that her father was just using her?

She should be able to learn from today's events. Her father didn't care about her at all. The man didn't do anything when Natali humiliated her. He didn't even help or try to intervene. In addition, Deny also slapped her in public. Were all that not evident enough to convince her?

Aiden could only return to close his eyes in frustration.

Anya could feel the anger radiating from the man. This time, the anger was directed at her. Aiden was angry with her.

'For the first time ever, Aiden was angry with me ...'
