Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Mr. Aiden, do you know these ladies?" The hotel clerk asked.

Before Aiden answered, Anya interrupted first, "I don't know him."

Nadine quietly stuck out her tongue at her uncle. Her uncle still had to try harder to get her aunt's heart back.

Even her aunt said she didn't know him.

"I'll go out to dinner and come back at half past nine. You can rent my room to them," Then, Aiden turned around and headed towards the restaurant on the second floor.

"Miss, please. You can check in now and check out at half past nine. Are you willing?" The officer asked again.

"Yes, yes!" Alisa immediately danced excitedly in Nadine's arms.

"The fireworks display will start at eight o'clock and end at half past nine. You can watch it from the balcony of your room."

"Mama, I want to see fireworks!" Alisa looked at Anya with a pitiful look. Anya felt her heart touched to see Alisa's face.

Even though she really didn't want to use Aiden's room, she also couldn't resist the pleading look from Alisa's eyes.

Finally, Anya decided to rent Aiden's room.

While in the room, Nadine selected several dishes and calculated the total prices so that she could use her discount coupons.

"Auntie, let's order food. The total cost is a little over two million. How about it?" Nadine raised the menu in her hand and shouted at Anya.

Anya was leaning on the sofa near the window looking at the scenery outside, not knowing what she was thinking at the moment.

"It's up to you," Anya said with a smile.

She felt lucky to bring Nadine to play together with Alisa today. Little children did have extraordinary energy. If Nadine didn't accompany Alisa, maybe Anya would be exhausted.

After getting Anya's approval, Nadine immediately called the restaurant and ordered their food.

Alisa ran over to Anya and immediately hugged her. "Mama, what's wrong with you?"

Anya stroked Alisa's head gently. "Mama is just a little tired. Are you happy today?"

"Very happy!" Alisa replied happily.

"Now, go get a rest first. We will see fireworks later!" Anya leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes while hugging Alisa.

As she shifted her gaze, a single tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

She really loved Alisa. When she was with Alisa, she felt like she was being revived.

But now, when she saw Alisa, why did Anya think of her child with Aiden again?

Anya still remembered the first time she met Alisa and Jonathan.

At that time, Anya got to know Jonathan because she looked at Alisa for too long, so the man noticed her.

At that time, Alisa was only one year old, sitting on her stroller laughing.

Anya's gaze at baby Alisa at that time made Jonathan know that she had a sad past. Anya couldn't tell Jonathan everything so she only said that Alisa's smile seemed to heal a wound in her heart.

After that day, the two of them became friends. Jonathan never asked about her past. Since Anya loved Alisa, Jonathan let her be a substitute for her mother.

Today, Alisa spent the whole day playing so that she fell asleep on the bed right after dinner.

Nadine laid beside Alisa, her thin body curled up like a ball.

When she saw Nadine's sleeping position, Anya's heart was touched. She said, people who fell asleep with a curled position like that were examples of those who needed a sense of security in their lives.

Nadine must have suffered so much during the 5 years she didn't return home. Luckily, she was still alive and cheerful.

On the surface, Nadine might look as cheerful as Tara. But Tara was confident, smart and knew what she wanted. Meanwhile, Nadine didn't believe in herself. She felt inferior and did not dare to express her true feelings.

She tried to cover up her fragility with her cheerful attitude. Her nature made everyone, even Anya, feel like protecting her.

Today, the person who invited Alisa to go play was Anya. But after entering the playground, Nadine was the one who accompanied Alisa wherever the child wanted to go.

Nadine also took care of her and accompanied her to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Anya only kept them from far.

After falling asleep for about 40 minutes, Nadine woke up.

She took warm water and approached Anya who was sitting on the sofa near the window, handing her a glass. "Auntie, are you not tired?"

"Thank you," Anya said, taking the glass. "I didn't do anything today. You went with Alisa all day and I just carried and guarded the bag. You must be exhausted,"

"It's okay. I like little kids," Nadine scratched her head shyly.

"Hmm... I can see that you are good at taking care of children," Anya said with a smile.

"During the three years that I was missing, I not only helped clean up, but also looked after the children of the scientists. That's why I understand quite well the psychology of children. There are no children who don't like me," Nadine said proudly.

"What did you do for the two years after you returned to Indonesia?" Anya asked.

"I worked in a branch of the Pratama Family's spice factory. I planted various crops there. Maybe if I didn't meet my uncle and came back to this city, I could see my crops growing," Nadine said.

"My mother and I also grew vanilla. After waiting for three years, we finally managed to harvest and sell it. I will show you the vanilla garden next time," Anya said with a smile.

"Next vacation, I'll go to the park and help you there!"

"Nadine, you don't have to always help me. No matter what your mistake was, I know you didn't do it on purpose. I will never blame you for all of this. I hope you can be friends with me without any burden or guilts," Anya could feel that Nadine was helping her because she wanted to make amends.

Even though she didn't know what Nadine had done to make her behave like this, Anya could guess.

She had forgotten all of her past. Even though the wounds in her heart still hadn't healed, she chose to let them all go.

She really didn't want to be associated with the Atmajaya Family anymore. But Nadine's sincerity and cheerful personality make Anya like her.

She wanted to be friends with Nadine sincerely, not because there was any guilt between them.

"Auntie, I ..." Nadine's eyes turned red. "You are very good to me!"

"I've forgotten everything and you should do the same. The important thing now is, you are back safely. Don't act stupid again. When you face something, you have to tell someone. Don't let others trick you to keep it to yourself," Anya said.

"Auntie, I'm sorry about what happened two years ago. I am really sorry. I have hurt you," finally, Nadine couldn't help herself and told Anya everything about the DNA test result in Hong Kong.

Two years ago, she was the one who caused the DNA test result in Hong Kong to be sabotaged. That incident forced Anya to divorce Aiden and lose her child.

Nadine realized how stupid she was to be manipulated by Keara so easily.

If only she didn't take Harris away from his room that day, Keara wouldn't be able to change the DNA test result.

And Anya didn't have to lose her child.

"Auntie, hit me. I am guilty!" Nadine took Anya's hand and raised it to her face.

Anya immediately stopped her. "All of this is not your fault, but Keara's. Your uncle once said, don't punish yourself for mistakes made by others,"

"But uncle said it was all because of my ignorance that auntie ended up suffering. I wronged you, auntie. If auntie doesn't want to hit me, at least scold me!" Nadine said.
