Chapter 70: Substitutions
Seeing Aiden and Anya get out of the car, Hana rushed to their side, "Mr. Aiden, Mr. Emma has come to see you." β
Aiden frowned, a look of displeasure.
When my father came to visit, he didn't look like an excited child.
Shouldn't the arrival of the family be happy?
"What does he want this time?" Aiden muttered impatiently.
Hana said with some hesitation, "There is a lot of news about you and your wife on the Internet...... and before she could finish speaking, she stopped, she was sure that Aiden understood what she meant.
Hana's words made Anya a little uneasy.
She didn't know what Aiden's relationship with his father was, but it didn't seem like they were on good terms.
What should she say to Aiden's father? What should she look like in front of her father-in-law?
Aiden could sense Anya's uneasiness, and he took one of Anya's hands, took her, and led her into the house.
"After saying hello, go straight to the room, no need to say more." Aiden said.
"Hmm......" Anya nodded at his words.
Now, perhaps the best option is to take Aiden's word for it.
She had to try to stay as calm as possible, greet Aiden's father, and get to the room as soon as possible.
They immediately walked into the house and saw Emma sitting on the couch in the living room with a teacup, much like Aiden.
He was tall and strong, with a determined and wise expression, and although he was no longer young, he still exuded the beauty and maturity of a man.
Seeing Aiden's arrival, Emma immediately slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground, causing the expensive teacup to shatter into pieces.
"Why are you only coming home now?" He shouted.
"Hmm...... I'm home, you go now! Aiden said coldly, trying to get around Emma.
However, Emma immediately stops him, and he wants to talk to Aiden so that he doesn't let his son ignore him.
Emma saw the figure of the woman hiding behind Aiden, looked at her sarcastically, and asked, "In order to date this woman, you drove the Ferris wheel early?" β
Hana immediately tried to intervene, and the reason why Emma was like this was perhaps because he didn't know Anya yet, and he didn't know that Aiden and Anya were married, "Madam, this is Mr. Aiden's father, Mr. Emma, and it's your father-in-law. β
Anya bit her lip uneasily, boosting her courage.
She walked over to Aiden and greeted Emma, "Good evening, Dad." She stood beside Aiden, so that her body and face were no longer obscured by Aiden's tall frame.
Seeing Anya's face, Emma almost fell backwards.
Fortunately, Lis, who was next to him, immediately supported his body, "Mr. Emma, are you okay?" β
"WhatβKayla!" Emma pointed at Anya and shouted a strange name. His face looked surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Kayla?"
Anya immediately turned around and looked around. There was no one else around.
Who is Kayla? Who the hell is Aiden's father calling?
Mrs. Hana immediately tried to explain calmly, "Mr. Emma, this is Anya, Mr. Aiden's wife. β
Hana's words were like a basin of cold water, which made Emma sober up all at once.
He misunderstood.
He straightened up again, still looking at Anya. After speaking, his gaze turned to Aiden, "When did you get married?" How come I don't know at all? Emma shouted angrily.
"Did you tell me when you were looking for a new woman?" Aiden snorted coldly.
Emma turned her gaze to Anya, his eyes widened, and he stared at Anya's face with displeasure, "You canceled your engagement with Anli for this woman?" β
"This is your daughter-in-law Anya." Aiden immediately corrected the way Emma addressed Anya.
"I will never let this woman step into the Ai family, hurry up and end your relationship with this woman, if you get married, deal with the divorce quickly." Emma commanded coldly, continuing to stare at Anya with a sharp gaze.
Anya, who was standing beside Aiden, couldn't do anything under her father-in-law's fierce gaze.
She leans her body closer to Aiden, trying to dodge Emma.
Aiden looked at Emma's face without the slightest intimacy, as if they were all strangers.
"This is my private matter, don't interfere!"
"You...... You impudent son! Emma roared, her face flushed, trying to restrain her emotions.
However, Aiden didn't care about Emma's anger at all, he just snorted, and felt that it was funny that his father suddenly paid attention to him like a real elder, and seemed to forget what he had done to him.
"What can I expect from you? Didn't you make me like this? Aiden snapped.
This left Emma speechless.
Anya's eyes widened when she heard this, Aiden had an accident because of his father's mistake, his legs were paralyzed, and he was blind in both eyes?
No wonder this pair has a bad relationship with father and son.
It turns out that there really is an untold secret behind their relationship.
"You are my son, how could I hurt you? I would never do that, that accident was not what I wanted! Emma tried to explain.
However, Aiden just greeted him with a sneer and said, "The biggest mistake in my life was to be your son." I don't have the right to choose my parents, but I have the right to decide my own life. If you like Ann Li, then you should marry her yourself. Why marry?
"You deliberately disobeyed my orders, do you know why I want you to marry Ann Li? Why can't you see the whole picture? What do you think is good about this woman? And she's a lot like ......" Seeing Anya's face, Emma stopped talking.
Anya could only stare at Emma in surprise. Similar to whom? Is Emma's name related to Kayla?
Who the hell is Kayla?
"I'm married to Anya, no matter what you say, Anya is my wife. I don't like you, you don't like me, we don't like each other. You'd better get out of this house. Aiden coldly chased away the guest, as if he was not related to Emma at all and did not respect him at all, so Aiden kicked him out with a hard heart.
Anya could only bow her head behind Aiden and stand silently. She could feel Aiden's anger.
Who the hell is Kayla? Why was Emma so surprised when she saw her? Her brain seemed to be spinning hard, but she didn't answer.
She even remembered a novel she had read, the story of a man marrying a woman who looked like his dead wife. The wife suddenly fell seriously ill and died, but the husband couldn't forget her, so he found another woman who looked exactly like his wife.
That story should only exist in fiction.
But in Aiden's eyes, Anya seems to be Kayla's replacement.
Anya is convinced that Kayla mentioned by Emma is Aiden's ex-lover, and Anya has a face that resembles Kayla, which makes Emma spooked.
Aiden wants to marry her because her face resembles Kayla's. Thinking of this, Anya's lips turned pale.
Hana stepped forward and tried to calm Emma down.
Now that Hana has been working in that house for decades, Emma certainly trusts Hanna.
"Mr. Emma, Mr. Aiden is probably tired and in a bad mood, let him rest for a while, wait for you to come to see him again, and solve this problem calmly."
Emma was still very unhappy, he pointed at Anya and said, "Solve this woman's problem as soon as possible, even if you don't want to marry Ann Li, you can't have anything to do with this woman." β
With that, Emma stomped her feet out of the room in a huff.
