The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

CHAPTER 74

Aidan's POV

Mother's scolding bruised my ego and the fact that she is asking me to apologize to Anna. I have no idea how to do that.

Thinking about it is making me annoyed and I wish there is an alternative. I know there is not and I just need to do what my mother has requested of me. I made a vow to myself when I was little that I was going to make her happy by doing whatever she wants. 

That is why I still haven't got her out of the house. She can be stubborn at times. She doesn't want to leave the house and I have decided to let her be if that will make her happy.

I take a deep breath and get up. I sat still for a while after she left, thinking about what she said to me. I am not doing all of this because I want to be a replica of my father, I am doing this because this was what Anna signed up for with her mother. 

They are the ones making me do this. I see no reason why the mother will blame herself. She asked me to marry Anna but Evelyn also did too because she wanted money.

Anna has never requested money from me before but I always make sure her account is filled to the brim. I am not doing it for her, I am doing it for my baby. I want her to get all that the baby would need for her comfort and survival. I don't want my baby to lack anything because I know Anna is proud, she won't ask me for anything. 

Her mother, on the other hand, won't let me be because of her restaurant. I just want to begin my revenge on them and now my mother is interfering.

I am still contemplating how to go about apologizing to Anna. I can't possibly kneel down to beg her. I didn't mean for her to cry, in fact, I never knew she cried. She just got on my nerves and I couldn't help but vent my anger on her.

I sigh heavily and get up, taking long strides towards the front door. I don't care what she thinks and whether she goes back to report me to my mother. I am going to tell her I am sorry for making her cry and that will be all.

I open the door and get in. I look around the living room but she is nowhere to be found. I decide to go meet her in her room. I haven't gone into the room ever since she arrived here. 

As I approached, I catch a glimpse of a maid coming out of her room with a tray of food. My stomach rumbles and I remember I came home early because I was tired and hungry.

"Jodie", I call her. She spins around and bows in greeting.

"Welcome, sir."

"Where are you going with the food?"

"Ma'am says she has no appetite", her head is still bent as she replies. The food looks delicious and I wonder why she had no appetite. Is it because of what happened between us?

"Go and drop the food, she will eat it", I instruct her.

"Yes, sir", she twirls back to open Anna's room while I stand still waiting. A few minutes later, she comes out.
