Chapter 234 - Dangerous Ingredients (1/2)

”Aiden, promise me. Don't let me leave you,” Anya muttered.

”I will never let you leave me,” Aiden replied.

Aiden really enjoyed their time together. Under the setting sun, he was carrying the woman he loved on his back. Anya leaned on his shoulder while humming softly. Beautiful music adorned their afternoons.

Every day with Anya was full of surprises and troubles. But all of that also fostered joy. The relationship between them was getting stronger day by day.

”Let's promise each other. No matter what happens, nothing can separate us,” Anya said amidst her joy.

”Hmm…” Aiden muttered.

After that, Anya vigorously patted Aiden's shoulder. ”Come on! Get to the car!” And sure enough Aiden ran while carrying her.

By the time they reached their car park, it was six o'clock.

Anya called Hana, ”Mrs. Hana, has Nico come home?”

”Mr Nico is going to a friend's birthday,” Hana answered.

”Okay. We're on our way home and will be arriving in forty minutes.” When she finished calling Hana, Anya leaned lazily in her chair and closed her eyes.

”What's the other title you were chanting earlier?” Aiden asked.

”I'll stand by you,” Anya opened her eyes a little and answered.

”Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get home,” Aiden turned on the music in the car and immediately chose the song Anya mentioned. He lowered the volume so that it wouldn't be too loud.

When she heard the familiar tone to her ears, Anya smiled. ”Don't you want to sing?”

”I can't sing,” Aiden replied. He had not answered Anya's question earlier. But an answer crossed his mind. If he hadn't met Anya, he would have married a woman he didn't love. He would live his life without getting to know how bitter and sweet love tasted.

”I like this song. This song seems to symbolize you. You will never let anything happen to me, will not let anyone hurt me. Even if we have to go through dark days, you will always be by my side.” Anya opened her eyes and looked at Aiden. ”Do you have super power? You can even know what I'm thinking without needing to say it.”

”My power only applies to you,” Aiden replied.

Anya smiled hearing this. She knew Aiden didn't have super power. Her husband was only understanding to her.

Anya did not know what kindness she had done so that she was this lucky, to marry a man as good as Aiden. But certainly, she would never disappoint Aiden in their married life.

Aiden said that he lacked confidence in building a relationship. But ever since he met Anya, Aiden did not hesitate to live a married life to the fullest and tried hard to be a good husband for Anya.

Anya felt that God gifted Aiden to her in exchange for the hardships she had endured during her life. Her life was so hard that God sent Aiden for her. Therefore, Anya should appreciate it!

While thinking about it, the smile on Anya's lips grew brighter. And then she slowly fell asleep.

Aiden saw his wife fast asleep with a smile on her face. His heart felt very warm.

'Mother, do you see? I married a simple and kind woman. She is always optimistic and positive in facing the hardships of life. She always tries hard to live and never takes anything that isn't hers.'

'She was the one who gave me warmth when my father neglected me.'

'She also made me know how it felt to love and to be loved.'

'She gave me a home, a small family that only belonged to the two of us.'
