Chapter 13: The Wedding
As soon as the elevator reached the lobby, Aiden and Anya immediately stepped out of the elevator.
Everyone in the hall immediately stopped what they were doing and immediately saluted Aiden.
Seeing everyone secretly looking down at her, Anya suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Although she knew that those people weren't paying attention to her, she was now walking out with Aiden, so she was inevitably the center of everyone's attention.
She glanced at the receptionist in the lobby, and the woman who had rejected her when she came was now nowhere to be found.
Of course, Anya didn't know that the receptionist had lost her job because she was unkind to her.
As she stared at the reception, a man rushed up to Aiden.
The man had a handsome face and a pair of glasses on his eyes, and he looked very intelligent and trustworthy.
He looked neat from head to toe and his hair was not a single mess.
He is also very tall, almost about the same height as Aiden. But compared to Aiden's fair skin, the man's skin is slightly olive yellow, suggesting that he has some slightly mixed blood features.
The man came up to Aiden and immediately saluted.
Unlike the others, Aiden tapped him on the shoulder in response, making him straighten up and speak.
"Let's go now, Leith," Aiden said.
"Yes, sir." Leith replied immediately.
Hearing this name, Anya immediately realized that this person should be Aiden's personal assistant and confidant - Leith.
In a way, Leith is Aiden's most capable and trusted assistant.
At this time, Leith noticed that Anya was also behind Aiden, and nodded to her slightly.
Anya nodded in response, and then followed Aiden back to his car.
The three of them waited at the entrance of the hall for a moment, and a black limousine quickly stopped in front of them.
Before they could take a step, someone stepped out of the driver's seat.
That person was Aiden's driver, Budi, who had been ordered to pick up Anya this morning, but was refused.
As soon as Budi got out of the car, he opened the door for Aiden and Anya, while Leith stepped forward to the front passenger seat.
Looking at Anya, Budi smiled kindly, "Sir, Miss, please get in the car." ”
Anya smiled back warmly, "Thank you, sir, I'm sorry for what happened this morning." ”
Budi simply nodded.
He didn't dare to linger for a moment, because his boss had told him to hurry.
He immediately closed the door and sat back in the driver's seat.
After entering, Anya was stunned when she saw the scene inside the car.
The car was too luxurious, and although her father's garage was lined up with many luxury cars, none of her father's cars could compare to Aiden's.
There's even a screen in the middle of the car that separates the driver from the passenger.
She sat up straight, for fear that she might accidentally touch something and break it.
If something was broken, she couldn't get a new one.
Just as she was immersed in amazement, her gaze subconsciously fell on Aiden.
Aiden's eyes were closed, and he looked tired.
However, even with his eyes closed, Aiden's face still looks extraordinarily handsome, as if it was carved by a famous craftsman.
Is she going to marry this handsome man? Isn't this something that countless women dream of? What else is there for her to be confused about?
Looks, wealth, power.... This man has enough to make any woman bow down to this man and ask for his favor.
But the man chose her.
In this regard, Anya considers herself the luckiest woman in the world because this extraordinary man has chosen her to spend her life with.
However, unfortunately, Anya does not love him and does not even have any feelings to speak of.
The marriage registration process proceeded quickly, and Anya took her marriage certificate in disbelief.
She seemed to be thoughtful as she held the certificate, but her eyes were empty and seemed to be unfocused, and she couldn't accept the facts in front of her.
She opened the certificate and saw a picture of her and Aiden, her brain struggling to digest the fact that she was married.
She's married!
With Aiden!
"We'll pack up everything in your house," Aiden said, interrupting Anya's reverie.
Anya looked up and saw Aiden talking with his eyes closed.
"Ah...... However...... "Things are moving so fast, Anya is a little difficult to digest.
Isn't their marriage a contract marriage? Is she really going to live with Aiden?
"Contracted marriage..."
They marry only because of their respective interests.
Leith was initially against the marriage because Aiden was in an unfair position.
Aiden will have to spend a lot of money to pay for Anya's mother's hospitalization after that, but what can Anya give him in return?
In the end, Anya can only use her mother's garden as a guarantor, and she promises that one day she will pay off her debts.
After all her debts are paid off, she will be free again.
At the same time, Aiden was very happy with Leith's decision. With the flower garden as a guarantor, Anya will be even more attached to him and will never be able to get rid of his side again.
Aiden just raised an eyebrow and looked at Anya.
Anya could only remain silent and keep her mouth shut.
For now, she can only listen to Aiden's words and obey Aiden's orders.
She owes this man a love debt, and she will do her best to help this man so that she can pay off all the debts.
After returning home, Anya hurried downstairs to pack her things.
Aiden was waiting for her in the car, while Leith and Budi were tasked with helping Anya pack up and tidy up.
She went into her room and took out a bag to pack all her belongings.
Actually, Anya doesn't have much to do, and most of the items are old because she doesn't have the money to shop and hasn't bought anything new for a long time.
She kept her mother's things in order, hoping that one day her mother would come back in good health.
Pictures of her and her mom fill the whole house, making it warm and loving, and also making her feel like she is not alone.
Only these photos are her treasures.
After everything was done, Budi helped Anya carry her bag and get into the car.
At the same time, Anya locked the door of her house, as if she was going to leave the house forever, a little nostalgic and reluctant.
This time, Anya has to leave home for a long time, in order to be able to pay off all her debts.
As she closed the door, she wondered if she would ever be able to return to the house with her mother.
Although the house is small and simple, there are so many memories in this room that she misses those warm times.
Memories of Anya and her mother trying to rise from adversity after their parents' divorce......
Fond memories between mother and daughter.....
After her mother fell ill, Anya had to fight alone......
And now, these memories are still fresh and full of tears, pain and struggle.
Today, Anya closes the door, scared and happy.
She is afraid to imagine an uncertain future, but also feels happy that she no longer needs to be alone to struggle.
Maybe she doesn't love Aiden, but at least she doesn't have to face all this hardships of life alone now.
Aiden will help her through it all and will carry some of the burdens on her heart.
At the very least, there will be someone who will always be there for her.
Now, her name is no longer Anya, and may become Mrs. Ai.
