"Aiden…" Anya looked at Aiden in panic. She really didn't want to come with her father. Anya knew her father was so angry with her that she would not be treated well if she went back to the Tedjasukmana Family house.
Maybe her father would beat her up like when he beat Natali ...
Maybe Mona would also help beat her like when she came to her father's house...
Aiden's handsome face stiffened when he heard Deny's words. His forehead creased, showing his dislike for the man in front of him. However, his hand stroked Anya's back gently, trying to calm her down, "Nothing can take you away from me!" He said softly.
Deny was very, very upset. He had lowered his pride by apologizing to Aiden in person, even though the man was younger than him. But Aiden didn't want to forgive him.
He had told Natali to kneel down, admit her mistake and apologize. In fact, he was willing that his daughter was punished by anything to assuage Aiden's anger. But Aiden didn't forgive him either.
���Aiden, Anya is my daughter. You have no right to interfere in my business with my daughter." Deny said with a challenging face. He was really determined to take Anya away from this place.
"I've grown! I am responsible for my own actions. Father never even carried out his duties as a father. Father has no right to suddenly come and want to manage me!" Anya shouted. She didn't want to go back with her father. Her clench that was grasping Aiden's were getting tighter, showing her unwillingness to go out with her father.
"Anya! Your mother will surely be ashamed to see you behave like this. How could you live in the house of a man you do not know!" Deny shouted his irritation as he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Anya, "Come with me!"
Aiden stared at Deny sharply, making the hairs on Deny's neck stand up. But Deny didn't care. He remained determined to take Anya home, even if by force. Anya's eyes widened when Deny's hand stretched out. Feelings of fear and surprise mixed in her heart, making her immediately hide behind Aiden's body.
Meanwhile, Aiden's hand immediately grabbed Deny's outstretched hand before Deny could reach Anya. Deny was very surprised to see that.
'Isn't he blind?'
Not only did Aiden prevent Deny's hand from reaching Anya, he immediately twisted Den's hand, making the man's hand make a strange sound.
KRAK KRAK
Aiden just broke Deny's hand.
"Ahhh! It hurts!!!" Deny wailed in pain. His eyes seemed to sting with pain from his hands.
Natali could hear Deny's screams from the outside of the house. She just covered her ears, and didn't want to interfere with Aiden's business anymore. Now, she had learned a valuable lesson. Aiden was cruel and cruelty was indiscriminate. The man didn't care who the opponent was, man or woman, young or old. He treated all of them equally cruelly!
After breaking his hand, Aiden threw Deny's body like junk onto the floor. His hands immediately grabbed Anya's body and hugged her tightly. His sharp gaze was still fixed on Deny who fell on the ground.
"Anya is my lover. Nobody can take her from me!"
Deny gritted his teeth and bit his lip, trying to endure the pain from his broken hand. His face turned white from the pain he was feeling, but he was still trying to fight Aiden, "Aiden, I know Anya is your lover. But she is also my daughter. Anya still hasn't graduated from college. She can't stay in this house every day!"
Aiden just stared at Deny coldly, "Anya is my lover. It is fitting for her to stay with me."
Deny's eyes turned to Anya and saw his daughter in Aiden's arms. Aiden looked after her and protectively shielded her. He didn't need to guess what the relationship between the two of them was. With just one look, everyone including him would already know.
He knew that Aiden's feelings for Anya were not just love for monkeys.
"Aiden, I realized that I didn't really pay attention to Anya just yet. Her mother is such a tough person that after we divorced, I didn't get permission to contact Anya. As her father I'm deeply saddened. No parents wanted to be separated from their children." Deny said.
Seeing the relationship between Aiden and Anya, he realized that he could use his fatherhood to benefit. He must assert that Anya was part of the Tedjasukmana family.
"I really care about my daughter. Right now, her mother is sick. If I don't care for and take care of her, who else can do it?" Deny pitifully said, impersonating the image of a father who really loved his daughter.
Indeed, the fruit did not fall far from the tree. Deny and Natali were indeed father and daughter alike. Their fakes, their pretense, their acting…how wonderful!
Aiden just snorted at Deny's thoughtful words, "You better educate your other daughter. You never even fulfilled your duty as a father before, what right do you have to interfere in Anya's life now? Anya is an adult and can make her own choices. Get out of this house, Mr. Deny!"
Hearing Aiden's words, Deny felt very angry. He felt his pride as a father had been trampled. Anya was his daughter. What right did Aiden have to rule his daughter's life?
"Anya, at least if you want to live with Aiden, you have to marry him!" At this time, Deny's forehead was already sweating profusely from holding the pain in his hand. The pain was so intense that it made his face even paler.
Aiden's eyes were on Deny, looking down on him, "You want to take her home just to use her as a tool to earn more money. Anya is really unlucky to have a father like you!"
"No! Dad really cares about you, Anya! Father never used you!" Deny tried to explain as sincerely as possible. He wanted to make Anya melt and believe in him. But Aiden was like a great wall blocking his relationship with his daughter.
Aiden gritted his teeth, looking like he couldn't wait anymore to face this selfless man, "Hurry up and get rid of him!" Aiden shouted to his guards.
"Anya… If you don't want to come home with me today, don't cry and come to me one day. I won't accept you even if you beg!" Deny said one last time as he angrily stared at Anya. After that, he turned around and left. He did not want to be forcibly dragged from this house by Aiden's guards. His pride was too high for that.
After Deny left the house, Aiden's face calmed down a little. But the resentment he felt was still radiating, making the atmosphere in the room still tense.
Hana immediately approached Anya, trying to calm her down, "Anya, are you okay?" Anya could only nod. Her face looked a little pale because of the fear he felt.
"He's lucky Master still forgives him today. If Master didn't have mercy on him, he wouldn't only have his hand broken!" Hana kept nagging. She was extremely baffled by the scene. How could there be a father like Deny in this world?
Anya was stunned for a moment to hear Hana's words. Aiden forgave her father so he only came home with a broken arm. All because Aiden was still merciful?
If Aiden were not merciful, what would happen to her father and Natali?
