"If you can't love Mr. Ivan, that's fine. But please don't hurt him," Heru said firmly.

"I don't understand why you are telling me all this," Anya looked at Heru in confusion.

​​

"I just want to say that I have worked for Mr. Bima for many years and I see how sad Mr. Ivan's life is. I only hope you keep your distance from him next time. If one day Mr. Ivan and Mr. Aiden fight, I hope you don't become a knife that injures them both," Heru said.

But somehow, Anya felt that Heru was saying all this for Ivan's sake.

She felt that Heru was more inclined to defend Ivan. Anya felt that Heru was deliberately talking about the past to make Anya's heart melt.

Heru wanted her to persuade Aiden not to make things difficult for Ivan. Or if that didn't work, at least Anya wouldn't help Aiden if fights were to break between the two.

But Heru forgot that she was Aiden's wife.

"I will never take the initiative to attack or injure my brother-in-law. But if their fight was inevitable, then of course I would stand beside Aiden. If you have nothing else to say, I'll go first." Anya turned and walked towards the elevator.

Heru still stood there with a cold gaze. He waited until Anya's figure disappeared into the elevator before he entered Ivan's room.

When Ivan saw him, his eyes immediately darkened. "What did you say to her?"

"Nothing," Heru answered.

"You don't need to interfere in my business. Take care of your own problems," Ivan said coldly.

"But Ivan, I..."

"Assistant Heru, please be careful. You are just a servant of the Atmajaya Family. You have no right to call me by name," Ivan's voice sounded cold and heartless.

"You used to always call me Uncle Heru, but now you call me Assistant Heru. Can you not be hard on me," Heru said with a bitter smile.

Ivan didn't answer. He just closed his eyes slowly, "If you have no business, go away."

"Ivan, it doesn't matter whether you listen to me or not. What happened to Diana is not your fault. You have sacrificed a lot for Anya," after saying that, Heru did not wait for Ivan's answer and left.

Ivan opened his eyes when he heard the sound of his bedroom door closing.

He took out his cell phone and called Anya. He got her number from Raka.

By then, Anya had returned to the car. Aiden knew that she had not had lunch, so he was waiting for her to have lunch together at the office.

When her cellphone rang, Anya was confused to see a number she didn't know. She felt like she recognized the number, but couldn't remember who called her.

"Hello. Who is this?" Anya said after picking up the phone.

"Anya, it's me," Ivan's warm voice came from across the phone.

Anya could feel the warmth behind Ivan's voice. The man probably smiled when he said that. However, this warm man turned out to be the son of her mother's enemy.

Anya calmed herself down and asked, "Brother Ivan. What can I do for you?"

"Did Heru say something to you?" Ivan asked.

Anya was silent for a moment and tried to think of the answer. This meant that Heru's previous words were not from Ivan's orders.

Anya knew Ivan was always warm and friendly to everyone. He never asked for a reward for everything he had done.

And Ivan was such a sensitive person that he could guess why Heru was adamant about taking Anya because he wanted to talk to her.

"Assistant Heru asked me not to make things difficult for you. I told him that if one day you do something to Aiden on purpose, I will stay beside Aiden," Anya said briefly.

Hearing those words, Ivan clenched his fists. "Anya, I didn't ask Heru to do it. It was his own wish. No matter what happens one day, I just want you to protect yourself. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Anya thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you going to blame me because I chose to side with Aiden? After all, you once saved me and your illness is now happening because of me,"

Ivan smiled and said, "You are Aiden's wife. You should defend your husband. Why should I blame you? After all, this disease is my own fault. This is none of your business,"

"Thank you for saving me and always accompanying me since I was little. I will always keep all the good times in my heart, but I don't feel good to talk about it anymore. You are just my husband's brother now, so I hope you will understand," Anya said in a choked voice.

When he heard Anya's voice, Ivan felt as if his heart was clenched tight, making him unable to breathe.

"Anya, I'm really happy to be your brother now," Ivan didn't know how to comfort Anya.

Anya took a deep breath. "Get some rest, brother. When I'm not busy, I'll visit you again together with Aiden,"

"If you're busy, you don't need to come. I'm eating and sleeping peacefully in this place. You know I like the serenity and the hospital is very quiet," Ivan said half jokingly.

Anya opened her mouth, wanting to comfort Ivan, but she didn't know what to say. She knew Ivan was just trying to cheer her up.

He was an unloved son in the Atmajaya Family. His status in the Atmajaya Family wasn't as good as Aiden or Nico. Being there was awkward.

In fact, Ivan did not like solitude, but he still chose to be alone.

He lived in a cold hospital by himself. Aiden did not want to visit him and sent Anya to replace him.

His fiancée, Keara, came to the hospital, not to treat him right but to fight with him.

Anya felt Ivan's life was really sad. Why would such a good man need to suffer like this?

Ivan was smart and good at everything. But just because of his status as an illegitimate child, his whole life immediately became miserable.

Indeed, fate played with everyone like puppet strings. Anya's life was chaotic in itself. Why should she think about other people's lives?

After managing her feelings, Anya said calmly, "Then rest. I won't bother you."

"Alright, see you later!" After saying that, Ivan didn't hang up right away. He heard Anya also say goodbye and hung up the phone first, then he put down his cellphone.

Anya leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She didn't understand why Aiden asked her to visit Ivan.

Initially, she thought Aiden would let her come to visit Ivan because he wanted to show that Anya was a caring daughter-in-law in front of Bima.

But when she went to the hospital, Anya found out about many things she didn't know.

Anya looked at Aiden's bodyguard. The man must have told Aiden everything that Keara and Ivan said in the room.

Even if Heru didn't ask her to do it, Anya intended to keep Ivan at a distance. Otherwise, Aiden would really be blinded by jealousy.

When she thought that her husband was going to be jealous, she suddenly got a call. This time, it was Aiden who called her.

"Mrs. Atmajaya, I heard that you have another childhood lover?"
