Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 236
Advertisement
"There is indeed something suspicious about the cause of my mother's death, but there is not enough evidence to call the incident a murder. Finally, my father did not let my brother continue to investigate," Aiden said while comforting Anya. "But since you dreamed of it, I will try to see it again."
Aiden did not believe in mystical things like omens of dreams. However, Aiden would do whatever it takes to make Anya feel at ease, even if he had to investigate such an odd dream.
"I saw a lot of spiders in my dream. Even though I tried to get rid of them, they kept coming back. I feel they are not from outside like you mentioned. More like…" Anya stopped talking and stared at Aiden silently. She didn't dare to continue with her words.
"Is it like a poisonous spider put in that place on purpose?" Aiden asked in a deep voice.
"But that is only in my dreams. I can't explain why I dreamed like that."
"Maybe you think so much that you dream strange things," Aiden replied.
Anya seemed to think for a moment and then realized something. "I feel like I forgot something important." She forgot her cell phone all night. Did the hospital call her last night?
Aiden frowned. He was wrong. He thought the important thing Anya referred to was Raka's birthday.
Was Raka's birthday something important to Anya?
Anya saw the change on Aiden's face. She didn't know what made Aiden so angry. "Are you mad?"
"Not." Aiden got out of bed and left the room.
Anya immediately took her cellphone that she'd forgotten from the nightstand. She noticed that there were three missed calls and a short message. She just remembered that today was Raka's birthday!
At 11.57, Raka called her.
At 11:59 a.m., Raka called her for the second time.
At 12.03, Raka called her for the third time.

After that, he sent a short message.
Raka: I wanted to get a birthday greeting from you, but it seems like it's just a daydream.
Yesterday, as soon as they returned to the room, Aiden immediately pressed Anya under his body, asking her to 'wrestle' with various positions and didn't let her go until Anya was exhausted.
Aiden must have known that yesterday was Raka's birthday so he deliberately changed Anya's cell phone to silent mode and distracted her all night. In the end, Anya did not know that Raka had contacted her.
Anya only took a deep breath and said nothing. She pretended not to know what Aiden was doing. After all, this was not something important to her.
After that, she replied to Raka's message with a short answer.
Anya: Happy Birthday!
As soon as she was about to get up and take a shower, Raka suddenly called her.
Anya took a deep breath and accepted the call. She tried to explain, "Raka, I ..."
"Anya, I really love Raka. You have Aiden now. Can't you let our relationship be peaceful and calm?" Before Anya could speak, she had heard Natali's voice across the phone first.
"Natali?" Anya was stunned for a moment.
"Don't call Raka again. You also don't need to wish your ex-lover a birthday. I will delete your message," Natali immediately hung up the phone after saying it.
Anya could only scratch her head. She did not intend anything and only fulfilled Raka's wish to get a happy birthday. She even sent a very short message without any prayer because she didn't want any misunderstandings. She really saw Raka as just a friend.
Was it wrong?
Aiden didn't like him and Natali was worried too.
Anya immediately took a shower and changed her clothes. After that, she took a sample of the perfume she had made and went downstairs.
Aiden was sitting at the dining table with no expression on his face. Hana saw Anya walking downstairs and greeted her immediately.

Aiden just looked away when he saw Anya's arrival. At the same time, Nico also came from the front.
Seeing Aiden's attitude, Anya also felt annoyed. Her worries about her mother's perfume recipe and her strange dream last night put her in a slightly bad mood today. Now Aiden's attitude sparked her anger.
"Aiden, it's still early. Why are you looking for trouble with me?" Anya grumbled.
It was Aiden who turned her cell phone into silent mode, leaving her unaware that there was a call. Luckily, it was just an insignificant call from Raka. What if the call was from the hospital, wanting to tell about the mother's condition?
Seeing the situation, Nico headed straight for the kitchen and whispered to Hana softly. "Mrs. Hana, please pack me two breakfasts. I don't want to eat here."
Hana also looked confused. She didn't know what was wrong that Aiden and Anya suddenly fought.
Nico followed Hana who was wrapping her food and asked softly. "Mrs. Hana, what's wrong with Uncle and Aunt?"
"I also don't know. They just came out of the room and sat at the dining table, but they immediately quarreled," said Hana.
"Alright then. I'll run away first," Nico didn't dare to pass the dining table where Aiden and Anya were, so he immediately ran away from the back door carrying the food that Hana had given him.
The servants left the dining room one by one, leaving Aiden and Anya alone.
Aiden lifted his spoon casually and ate his meal. Meanwhile, Anya looked at him angrily. "What was my fault that you messed around with me like this?"
"Is your ex's birthday that important?" Aiden's face was cold and stiff.
When she woke up, Aiden looked like a very gentle husband. But now, he had turned into a cruel president director of the Atmajaya Group.
Anya never thought that Raka's birthday was such an important thing, but it seemed like Aiden misunderstood her. "No, Raka's birthday is not important. The problem is, you turned my phone into silent mode. If the hospital calls… "
"The hospital won't call you. They will give me the news," Aiden interrupted.
"Is it true? Has there been any news from the hospital?" Anya asked.
"I'll ask later," Aiden said coldly.
"Aiden, I really don't…"
"Don't be in a hurry. I'll go to the office first," Aiden immediately got up without listening to Anya's explanation. He walked towards the front door and left Anya alone.
Anya knew Aiden was sulking because she said that she forgot something important and thought that the important thing she meant was Raka's birthday.
But what could she do? Aiden didn't even want to listen to her explanation…
Aiden had already gone to the office with Abdi driving him. It seemed that today Anya had to go to Iris by bus again.
During the trip, while pedaling her bicycle to the bus stop, Anya kept grumbling. "What's my fault? I'm not saying that Raka's birthday is important. I'm just worried about missing a call from the hospital. Besides, I wish Raka a happy birthday just for formality. Is it wrong if I wish him a happy birthday? I even only sent a very short message… "
Anya's cell phone rang before she got into the bus. The call came from the hospital.
"Is this really Miss Anya? It's time for you to pay your mother's hospital fees," said the person as soon as Anya picked up the phone.
Anya felt confused when she got the call.
Why was she so unlucky today?
Yesterday night, she had a strange dream…
This morning, Aiden suddenly misunderstood and got angry with her…
Now, the hospital was charging her money…
Wasn't that already enough bad luck for today?
