Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Aiden looked at Anya when the woman was deep in thought. He didn't know what Anya was thinking right now. Then, his head lifted, looking up at the same sky.

This sight felt so much more beautiful with his loved one by his side.

Anya turned her head and shifted her gaze at Aiden, looking dreamy as the man stared at the sky above him then asked, "What kind of flower do you like?"

"Iris..." Aiden answered without thinking.

Iris was Anya's favorite flower. In other words, Aiden was expressing his love for Anya.

Anya chuckled hearing this. She never knew this side of Aiden. "Just say you like me."

"I like you," Aiden said, looking closely at Anya.

Anya smiled faintly, but she couldn't laugh sincerely. "I'm just kidding ..." she replied.

"But I'm serious, Anya. I love you and will always love you," Aiden held Anya's shoulder and looked into her eyes.

Anya looked away and looked towards the distance. "But I don't love you anymore."

Aiden reached out his hand to pick up a flower petal that fell on Anya's head. "I will find out myself whether you still love me or not."

"Don't you believe me?" Anya turned and looked at Aiden irritably.

The man's long fingers caressed the side of Anya's face. "You might be able to lie to other people. You might be able to lie to yourself. But you can't lie to me. I will wait patiently for you, wait for you until you dare to face your feelings and open your heart again."

Anya couldn't say anything. Was it true that she was lying to herself? 

No one believed her if she said she didn't love Aiden anymore. She was the only one trying to convince herself that she had forgotten Aiden.

As they were enjoying the scenery, the crazy woman continued to follow them. She looked hesitant and didn't dare approach them.

"What do you want to tell us?" Anya took the initiative to open the conversation.

"Who are you?" The woman asked.

"I'm looking for my family. I heard that there were a lot of baby girls who were rescued from kidnapping cases in this orphanage, so I've come to find out," Anya did not hide the purpose of her arrival.

The mad woman suddenly attacked Anya and grabbed her by the collar tightly.

Anya was shocked by the sudden reaction, worried that she didn't know what that crazy woman would do.

Aiden immediately grabbed the mad woman's hand and shouted loudly, "Let go!"

"No birthmarks. You are not my child, are you…" the mad woman let go of Anya and took a few steps back. The painful look in her eyes made everyone around her feel her sorrow.

Anya realized that the woman had no intention of harming her, she only wanted to check if she had a birthmark like her daughter, but she didn't. She approached the woman and comforted her. "Are you looking for your daughter? Did she use to live in this orphanage?"

"Everyone is dead. I can't find my daughter anymore, I can't find her..." that woman muttered.

"Aiden, this woman said that someone at the orphanage rescued the children when the fire broke out. If the fire was too big and could not be extinguished  at that time, there might be some people who managed to escape with the children. Is it possible…" 

"We can go back to the orphanage and talk to the caretaker again later. As long as we can find the people who lived and served at the orphanage at that time, maybe we can get some clues," although Aiden and Anya felt sorry for the woman, there was nothing they could do for her.

Anya looked towards the sky. It was getting dark. She really wanted to go home and rest.

But looking for her parents was more important than anything else. Plus, Aiden already bothered to take the time to help her. 

"We will do according to your plan," Anya said, nodding.

"How about we find the nearest inn and eat first?" Aiden took Anya's hand and walked towards the parking lot.

"I will follow you. Let go of my hand," Anya whispered.

"I want to hold your hand," Aiden's lips curved slightly in a smile. "Do you want to plant Tabebuia in your garden?"

"If you want to plant a tree at home, you better plant a tree with fruit so that it will bear fruit," Anya pulled her hand, but Aiden didn't want to let go.

The man smiled even wider at her words.

Anya was more product-oriented as a person. She knew that a tree like Tabebuia could not produce anything and could only be made as decorations. That's why Anya suggested planting fruit trees.

"I like the way you think," Aiden said. 'And I like you too…' he continued to himself.

"Aiden, stop pulling my hand. My feet hurt!" Anya said irritably.

Aiden suddenly stopped and saw the shoes on Anya's feet. He just realized Anya was wearing shoes with heels. Even though the heels were short, the road surface in this place wasn't good enough so her legs must have hurt a lot.

Without asking permission or giving a signal, Aiden suddenly carried Anya. "Why are you so light? A princess in a fairy tale wouldn't be this light," he said, frowning.

Anya was stunned for a moment and then struggled. "I'm just saying my leg hurts, not asking to be carried like this."

"But I want to carry you," Aiden lowered his head and kissed the top of Anya's head.

Anya's face immediately flushed red because of the sudden kiss. "Put me down! I can walk by myself!"

"I'll buy you new sandals first," as if not listening to Anya's words, Aiden continued to carry her.

However, after a while, Aiden felt his ears buzz and his vision blurred. His steps became slower, but he could still see a little of the road ahead.

Anya could feel something strange and immediately asked Aiden, "What's wrong with you?"

"I want to go slower so I can carry you longer. I can't see my feet. Please let me know if there is something," Aiden said.

The road they were on was slightly downhill so that Aiden could not look down while carrying Anya.

Anya felt Aiden's answer was quite reasonable and there was nothing strange. "We're in front of the stairs," she said.

Aiden could still remember the path they had taken before and with his limited gaze, he continued walking towards the parking lot.

He didn't sleep well last night. During the day, he didn't have time to rest. After driving for several hours, he knew that his eyes were too tired.

It should only take ten minutes to walk to their parking lot, but it took Aiden half an hour to arrive.

"We have arrived. Are you still not going to put me down?" Anya looked at Aiden in surprise.

"I don't want to let you go," Aiden replied.

"Are you teasing me? Was it Nico who taught you to talk like this?" Anya patted Aiden's shoulder and asked him to put her down.

"I'm talking honestly," Aiden took the car's key from his pocket and gave them to Anya. "Can you drive? I am tired."

"I don't know the way," Anya took the key from Aiden's hand.

"Just use GPS to find the nearest hotel." After getting into the car, Aiden closed his eyes and rested. He looked very tired.

Anya looked at Aiden worriedly. "Tara said you have insomnia. Is it that bad?"

"Are you worried?" Aiden suddenly opened his eyes. This time, he could see Anya's face clearly.

The face of the woman he loved was looking at him with great concern.
