"Try to rember carefully. If you can give us information, all of this will be yours," Aiden said calmly as he looked at the man in front of him.
The man looked at the stack of money in front of him doubtfully, but there was also a greedy look on his face.
Seeing the money piling up on the table, Anya finally realized why Aiden wanted to co to this place at night. It turned out that Aiden wanted to use the money to bribe the orphanage's guard.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be done overtly.
"That woman ca from the city. I heard her ntion the na Srijaya Family, I don't know if it was her family na or her husband's surna. That's all I know," the man imdiately took the money on the table.
Aiden and Anya exchanged glances.
That woman was from the city and had Srijaya as her family's na!
Anya imdiately took out her cellphone and looked for a photo of Lisa's mother, Fany Srijaya, from the internet and then showed it to the person, "Is this woman what you an?"
"Right, that woman. She still looks young even though 20 years have passed," the man said in surprise.
"What did she say when she was looking for her daughter at that ti? Were there any traits she ntioned about her daughter?" Aiden asked.
"Her daughter has a birthmark on her back, but she did not say what shape it was. She had seen all the children here, but she did not find her daughter," the man began to tuck the money into a crack on the table, afraid that soone would see them.
Anya felt a little disappointed to hear the news from that person. That would an, she didn't co from this orphanage. She had lost the clues to find her real parents.
After returning from the orphanage, Anya looked gloomy. She had cost Aiden a lot of money, but they had to go ho empty-handed, without a clue.
Now, they had to start all over again.
"Just cut the money from my salary," Anya said in a low voice.
"That's my money. It has nothing to do with you," Aiden stroked Anya's head gently. "Don't be disappointed. At least we now know that the Srijaya Family helped the Pratama Family to find their daughter,"
"Did my parents give up looking for ..." Anya muttered.
"Sister Maria has been trying to find her daughter for more than 20 years and never gives up. Your parents must be the sa. As long as we don't give up hope, we can definitely find them," Aiden said, comforting her.
His words made Anya a little better. At least, she had greater hope of finding her biological parents with Aiden.
"Let's eat," the man took Anya's hand as he walked toward the parking lot.
Anya did not refuse to hold Aiden's hand like before. After all, there was no point fighting him, she wouldn't be able to match Aiden's strength.
After getting into the car, Aiden asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat Padang rice," Anya said.
Aiden frowned when he heard Anya's choice, "Padang food is too oily and not good for your health. You better choose nutritious foods."
"I've taken vitamins and herbs every day. My mouth tastes so bitter and I don't want to eat anything. I saw a Padang restaurant earlier during the trip…" Anya secretly swallowed her saliva because of her hungry stomach.
"There's a steamboat restaurant nearby. It's better to eat soup to warm your stomach," Aiden imdiately decided and turned on his GPS.
Anya turned and looked at the man beside her irritably. Earlier, Aiden asked her what she wanted to eat, but after she made her choice, Aiden didn't listen to her. What's the point in asking then? He shouldn't have asked her!
She really wanted to eat Padang rice!
On the way, their car was stuck in traffic right in front of the Padang restaurant that Anya saw earlier.
Ten minutes later, they were still trapped and unable to move. For so reason, the road that day was very jamd.
Twenty minutes later, Anya felt like she was going completely crazy. She could only stare at the restaurant for twenty minutes without being able to eat. She was really starving!
"You go eat the steamboat yourself. I want to eat Padang rice!" Without waiting for Aiden's reaction, Anya imdiately opened the car's door and ran to the Padang restaurant.
Aiden saw Anya running around happily and couldn't help laughing. Anya was still the sa as her old self, childish and cheerful like a child.
If Anya really wanted it, there was nothing wrong with Aiden obliging her every now and then!
Aiden imdiately headed to the parking lot in front of the restaurant and entered to find Anya.
Once inside, he saw Anya selecting food from the plates that had been served in front of her. As soon as she raised her head, Anya looked at Aiden in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"It's not good to eat alone. I will keep you company!" Aiden smiled faintly.
Anya smiled at him. That smile was sincere from within her heart.
She was so great that she could get the CEO of a large company like Aiden to eat at a roadside restaurant.
Anya ate very greedily, while Aiden spent more of his ti looking at her.
No matter what Anya did, even when she was eating so much like this, Anya still looked very beautiful to his eyes.
"You know what? During my two years in France, I really wanted to eat Padang rice," Anya said, raising her glass.
The more she drank it, Aiden realized that Anya's face was getting redder. He took the glass and slled the aroma. The drink contained alcohol!
Plus, Anya had already finished two glasses.
"Don't drink anymore, the drink has alcohol. You're already drunk. Just drink this water," he said as he kept the glass away from Anya.
"I am full. Let's go ho."
Aiden imdiately paid for their al and walked out. When she got up from her chair, Anya looked a little shaken.
Aiden imdiately grabbed her and helped her walk to the car, but Anya pushed his body away from her. "I'm not drunk."
"Yes, yes," Aiden replied patiently.
Anya walked along with Aiden to the car and leaned back in her seat. She wanted to go back to the hotel and relax.
But a few monts later, Anya realized and felt a little panic. How was she going to spend the night with Aiden?
Anya tried to calm herself down and said, "Once back at the hotel, I will book one more room. It's true you said, I'm a little drunk and I don't want to disturb your sleep."
"I won't be bothered," Aiden replied calmly.
"Aiden, we are divorced. We can't sleep in the sa room!" Anya said seriously.
Aiden glanced at her arrogantly and said in a cold voice, "I'm not interested in drunken won. Or maybe you will tease and bla the alcohol later?"
"? Teasing you?" Anya was annoyed when she heard this and shouted at him at once. "If you're afraid, I'll book another room myself!"
