"Galih's cousin? I remember he was not a good person. Even though you are already part of the Pratama Family, there are not many good people in that family. Better not go near any of them and just stay with your parents."

When she heard this, Anya felt strange. "Doesn't my father have a good relationship with his cousin?"

​​

"Ten years ago, there was a fight within the Pratama Family. One of his cousins ​​competed with Galih for the property," Diana said while remembering something. "If I'm not mistaken, his cousin has a famous dancer as a daughter. But I seem to have forgotten her name."

"Her name is Agnes. She'd just returned to Indonesia recently and stayed at my father and mother's house," Anya said, her voice growing lower and lower.

"Ah, that's right. Agnes, the one who had plastic surgery because she was not satisfied with her face. But in the end the surgery failed," Diana replied.

"Dad really loves Agnes. Do you know how her parents died first?" Anya asked.

Diana shook her head. She looked at Anya and asked, "Do you think your father killed Agnes' parents?"

"Otherwise, why is he so nice to her?"

"Your father is not that kind of person. Don't suspect him, it's impossible for him to do it. Maybe he just feels sorry for Agnes since she doesn't have parents and has experienced a lot of bad things," Diana said, defending Galih.

Anya frowned. She felt that this problem was not that simple.

If Galih didn't do anything to Agnes' parents or her in particular, why did he try her best to help her?

"Father defended Agnes even though he knew that Agnes hated me," Anya said sadly.

"Was there a misunderstanding?" Diana asked. She had known Galih for a long time. Indeed, the man was very kind and compassionate to anyone, but he was not someone who couldn't distinguish what was right and wrong.

Anya immediately told her mother what happened in the hospital. "I didn't come to Nadine and Nico's wedding so I didn't see her. Just one look and my mother could immediately tell that Agnes liked Aiden, even though she was well aware that Aiden was a married man. I don't know what to do to keep all these women away from my husband."

"Aiden is handsome. That's why many women like him. Are you jealous?" Diana smiled. She got up and picked vegetables nearby.

Anya immediately helped her mother pick the vegetables. Then she said, "Agnes is my cousin and she knows that Aiden is my husband. But she still likes him,"

Diana thought about her marriage first. It was also ruined by a third person.

"Anya, if Agnes is such a woman, you better be careful. You don't know if she really likes Aiden or if she just wants to take what's yours. I'll tell your dad when I see him later," Diana did not know Agnes. But from Anya's story, she felt that Agnes was not a good woman.

"Mother, do you think there is nothing strange? Agnes was only the daughter of my father's cousin, not his own niece. But why did he treat her so well?" Anya wondered.

While Anya and her mother were talking, Aiden along with his bodyguards came carrying boxes of strawberries.

"No matter how clever someone tries to hide something rotten, the smell will eventually reach everybody's nose one day," Aiden said calmly.

"But I don't want something to happen and regret it last. I'm worried about mom and dad," Anya said anxiously.

"Just trust your father. If he dares to bring Agnes home, that means Agnes will never hurt them," said Aiden.

"Who knows if it turns out that my father was also deceived?" Anya pursed her lips, looking very disappointed with her father's current attitude.

"Anya, you only need to believe in your father. He is a wise man." Diana looked up at the sky which was getting darker. "It's late. Arka and Aksa will surely wake up soon. You guys go home."

Anya reluctantly left her mother's house. She kept thinking about the matter that she ignored Aiden during the whole trip.

"Are you angry?" Aiden held Anya's hand gently. "Do you think I don't care about your family?"

"Really? It's not your parents who are in danger, of course you're not worried. What if it turns out that Agnes comes back for revenge?" Anya said.

"Agnes lost everything once and now she really appreciates her new life. Besides, your parents have been very nice to him. She needs your father to build her dance school. That's why she will never hurt or fight your parents," Aiden explained patiently.

After hearing this, Anya couldn't feel calm for some reason. Instead, she felt even more angry. Even though what Aiden said made sense, Anya still didn't like Agnes.

"Anya, do you know how many women are jealous of you? How many of them want to marry me and replace you? You're not only my wife, but also the lost heir to the Pratama Group. Many people envy you. Maybe Agnes is one of them," Aiden brought Anya into his arms gently. "Don't worry about it. It's better if she hates you in front than harms you from behind."

"I don't like her," Anya said irritably.

"If you don't like her, you don't need to meet or have any contact with her. Don't think about her too," Aiden replied very patiently. He tried to give Anya everything she wanted.

"Can I do it? After all, Agnes is my cousin," Anya said, frowning.

Aiden nodded. "After you come back this time, I've decided that you can do everything you want. Before, I always made you sad and restrained you. Now, the most important thing for me is to make you happy," he said softly while looking at Anya affectionately.

Hearing this, Anya's eyes turned red with tears. She threw herself on him and hugged the man tightly.

"I forgot my promise when we got married. I ask you to be yourself, but I also demand that you understand me. I even hurt you and made you become someone else. From now on, you don't need to worry about anything. Just be yourself," said Aiden.

"Don't be sorry about what you said!" Anya said, teasing Aiden. She was happy that the man gave her the freedom to be herself. Aiden didn't demand her to be the perfect Mrs. Atmajaya.

She just needed to be herself. Her husband was really nice!

When they got home, they could hear Agnes' voice coming from the living room.

She sounded so sweet and seemed to really like Arka and Aksa. Anya's twins did not reject her either. While playing with Arka and Aksa, Agnes saw Anya and Aiden's arrival.

"Anya, are you home? I came to visit Arka and Aksa," she said with a smile.

Hana approached Anya and whispered, "Anya, Miss Agnes brought lots of toys for Arka and Aksa. It will be dinner time soon, do you want to…"

Anya shook her head. She didn't want to have dinner with Agnes.

Hana immediately understood it and asked the servants in the kitchen to postpone dinner time.

"I will bring Arka and Aksa upstairs. You two can chat first." Aiden carried his two sons very easily and went upstairs followed by Arka and Aksa's babysitters.

Anya sat on the sofa and said to Agnes with a smile, "When are you coming here? Why didn't you call me first?"

"I've tried to reach you before. I've sent messages many times, but you didn't answer," Agnes said with a sad face.
