Chapter 30: Comfort

Anya went downstairs thinking about how to face Aiden.

Their last argument in the car ended up making Aiden angry with her.

Aiden asks Anya to do something she can't do, but she understands that this man just wants to be good for her, to care about her from harm.

It seems that she had to apologize so that the atmosphere between them would not become awkward again.

Although they don't love each other, they are now bound by a marriage that lasts a lifetime and will live together for a long time.

Despite the fact that there is no love between them, they still have to adapt to life together.

Even though they don't love each other, they can still live together like friends.

Therefore, they must maintain a good relationship.

She must apologize to Aiden!

Anya walked into the dining room, where various foods were already on the table, but no one noticed that Aiden was not waiting for her at the dining table and chair as usual.

At this moment, the man was standing facing the window, looking out at the calm waters of the lake.

Aiden was standing with his back to her, but Anya could feel Aiden's mood improve.

It seemed to her that the anger in Aiden's heart had subsided.

She walked up to him and made a little noise to signal her arrival.

She didn't want Aiden to be surprised by her sudden arrival, as she felt that Aiden should not be able to see her.

However, even if he didn't have to do that, Aiden actually knew that Anya was coming.

He could see Anya approaching him in the reflection of the window glass in front of him.

Aiden saw that Anya had already changed her clothes, wearing her home clothes, and her long hair was tied up with pins and hung down, looking more neat.

Aiden really likes her.

He liked the sight and saw Anya in his house, dressed in casual clothes, which showed that she was comfortable in this house.

All this would make him feel that Anya was his.

Despite the fact that the woman does not remember anything about him.

Anya stood beside Aiden, keeping a distance so they wouldn't touch.

Aiden didn't like such a distance, Anya was too far away from him, and his heart seemed to resist him, he wanted to hold Anya in his arms and bury his face in her hair.

He could imagine the fragrance of flowers wafting from Anya's body, and wanted to feel the closeness of that woman, to feel her warm body.

"Are you still mad at me?" Anya asked in a low voice.

Her eyes were fixed on Aiden, but Aiden didn't look back, her hands crossed behind her back, looking out the window.

Aiden can show his handsomeness even if he doesn't have to move. He stood in front of the window, and the faint glow of the moonlight made him look very handsome in Anya's eyes.

When standing next to Aiden, Anya's head could only reach the man's shoulder.

"Do you know why I'm mad at you?" Aiden asked.

He kept looking straight ahead, not at the woman standing beside him, but his voice didn't sound angry, and the calm in his voice was like clear water without waves.

They stood side by side, gazing at the moonlit lake and forgetting about the dinner at the table.

Silence enveloped them, but it wasn't as awkward as it was when they argued.

The silence between them was peaceful and soothing.

"Yes..... I know ......," Anya replied.

Anya knew that Aiden was angry because he cared about her.

Aiden was so angry because he was too worried about her, and this man was always thinking about her and helping her.

Although Anya doesn't love her husband, she's thankful to have someone as reliable as a friend.

Anya rested her head on Aiden's arm, still looking at the lake, and said, "Thank you......."

Aiden could feel the warmth of Anya in his arms and decided to stand still for the time being.

Because he wants Anya to be more free in this room and can do whatever she wants.

Aiden didn't want to touch or hug her suddenly and scare her.

He didn't want Anya to leave him.

They were silent in that position for a while, and finally Aiden invited Anya to dinner.

"I'm going out of town next week." Aiden said as he enjoyed his dinner.

"Where are you going?" Anya asked as she put food in her mouth.

Now the awkwardness between them is gone, and they chatted softly while eating.

"There's some work to be done." Aiden replied.

"How long?" Anya asked.

"Three days ......," he replied, but before Anya could ask anything, he suddenly asked, "Do you want me to stay at home?" I can cancel. ”

Hearing Aiden's sudden question, Anya's hand stopped scooping the food, shook her head and replied, "Ah, no, no! How can I not let you go, your business must be important. ”

Aiden frowned slightly when he heard this answer.

Anya didn't stop him from leaving. In fact, the woman seemed happy to learn that he was leaving home for a few days.

Anya did feel a little happy that she was free.

Because of the joy that rose in her heart, she felt a little guilty about her caution.

She felt that she shouldn't feel this way, Aiden had always been kind to her, so she should also give the same to this man.

However, when she heard that Aiden was leaving, that feeling of ecstasy arose, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Seeing the man frowning, she decided to say something like his wife used to say to make him happy, so she whispered, "I'll wait for you at home."

"Uh-huh......" Just like Anya thought, this sentence really made Aiden feel good.

He seemed happy when he heard that Anya would be waiting for him to return.

Until then, he had been living alone and would only be welcomed by his employers, as they worked for him and received some salary from him.

Now, his life has changed dramatically. He has a wife at home waiting for him to return. Even if his wife doesn't love him, it's okay as long as she stays with her.

After dinner, they returned to the room, and Anya immediately took a shower, because she had fallen asleep before and had not had time to clean her body. She felt that her body was itchy and a little uncomfortable.

After coming out of the bathroom, she saw Aiden lying on her bed with his eyes closed.

Anya wasn't sure if Aiden was asleep, she often saw Aiden resting with his eyes closed when he wasn't working.

Anya immediately prepared for bed, she walked to the side of the bed and lay down slowly, trying not to make any sound.

She didn't want to disturb Aiden's rest.

They lay on their sides, completely untouched. However, their warmth seems to emanate from each other, making them feel comfortable.

They are comfortable with each other's presence.

Anya didn't know when she started feeling this way, especially in her own heart, was it because Aiden was someone she could rely on?

Or is she starting to fall in love with him?

Impossible!

She couldn't have fallen in love with someone so easily......

Anya closed her eyes and let sleepiness slowly envelop her, bringing her into a dream.
