The door opened and Aiden's face just woke up.

"Hi,"

"Oh Hai Eve," cried Aiden scrambling his hair.

Evelyn was made glued in front of the door to see Aiden who only wears white boxer pants only and showed her sixpack and stocky face. Her disheveled hair made her look so sexy.

"Evelyn," the exclamation awakened Evelyn from her deeply enthralled demeanor.

"Eh?"

"What's wrong?" tanya Aiden leaned against the door leaf and looked very stunning and so tempting. It felt like Evelyn's hand wanted to play on her burly field chest and was definitely so warm while in her arms.

"I made pancakes for you breakfast" Evelyn said. "Can I come in?"

Aiden gave Evelyn way. "Come in Eve."

Evelyn walked into Aiden's apartment. He looked around the apartment, looking so neat. Aiden is a man, but he takes very good care of his home.

"Sit down, I'll go to the bathroom for a while" Aiden said, walking into his room.

Evelyn walked up to the pantry table and opened the bag she was carrying. Then he set it up on the pantry table.

Evelyn then walked up to the sofa in the television room and looked around. There are many miniature sports cars in a small storefront.

"It looks like Aiden likes miniature cars like this" Evelyn muttered, looking at Aiden's miniature.

"Want coffee or tea?" the question made him turn his head and see Aiden was fresher and wearing a white shirt.

"Warm tea can be," exclaimed Evelyn, walking after Aiden to the pantry that became the kitchen and television room.

Evelyn sits in the pantry and Aiden is seen making tea for her and a cup of coffee for Aiden himself.

"Drink," cried Aiden keeping a teacup in front of Evelyn. Then he sat down in front of Evelyn and brewed her coffee.

"Are you not ready to work?" ask Evelyn.

"Hmm. I've stopped working" Aiden replied casually.

"Eh really? But why?" ask Evelyn.

"It's time to retire," said Aiden.

"Ck, it's delicious," exclaimed Evelyn as she chuckled.

Evelyn sipped her tea. "So what's your next plan?" ask Evelyn.

"Eitherway. Maybe back to Indonesia" cried Aiden.

"Back?" evelyn muttered so unwillingly.

"Is this your own pancake?" ask Aiden.

"Yes, try it" cried Evelyn.

"Well, I'll try, yeah" said Aiden, enjoying Evelyn's pancakes.

"Enak" praised Aiden for making Evelyn meet in red.

"Then spend it."

"definitely. It just so happens that I haven't made any breakfast yet" Aiden said, enjoying his pancakes.

Evelyn was very happy to be able to prepare breakfast for Aiden. He fell in love with this hero in front of him.

Long ago when his family was destroyed because of the behavior of his father who likes gambling. Even with the heart to sell Evelyn to a rich old man. His mother was always tortured and beaten by his father. The father who was his stepfather. But the arrival of Aiden really became a hero for the life of himself and his mother.

Not just helping himself not to be sold. But also managed to throw his stepfather behind bars and get severe punishment. That was when Evelyn had already kept Aiden's name in her heart.

He returned to this city because he wanted to reach his love that had been delayed. Hope this time goes well.

"It's over," cried Aiden resuscitated Evelyn's daydream that was watching Aiden.

"That's the pleasure," cried Evelyn.

"You don't work yourself?" ask Aiden.

"Emmm no. Oh yes later tonight do not forget to come well," cried Evelyn as she handed an invitation to him.

"What is this for?" ask Aiden.

"Fashion reenactment. I just released some winter clothes. This is my first fashion show, so I really hope you can come" Evelyn exclaimed.

"All right."

Jasmine had just walked out of her school and ran over happily when she saw Catherine pick her up.

"Mommyy...."

"Mine..."

Catherine brought Jasmine into her arms, "Mommy is really kangen with you."

"Mine also misses Mommy a lot."

Catherine took Jasmine back. "Let's go home."

"I'm not going back to Aunty Marinka's house again?" ask Jasmine.

"No. This time we're going home" Catherine said, bringing Mine into her car.

Not far from their position, a pair of sharp eyes were seen watching the two of them.

"I won't let go of you two" murmured the man who was Robert.

After Catherine's car was gone, Robert returned to wearing his sunglasses and ran his car away from the place.

Jasmine and Catherine arrived home. Their steps stopped when they saw Mr. William, Catherine's father, sat there.

"Grandpa," exclaimed Jasmine running over William's body that had already stretched out both hands and carried Jasmine into his carrier.

"Smart kid. How's school?" ask William. William loved Jasmine, no matter who her father was.

Until this moment Catherine was still silent and did not say who Jasmine's biological father was.

"Very fun, Grandpa."

"Good, you have to be diligent in learning well," he exclaimed, who was nodded by Jasmine.

"Ready Grandpa."

Jasmine jumped down and ran into the inner area of the house towards her room.

"We're talking in your study" exclaimed William walking first to Catherine's study.

---

At this moment William stood on his back to Catherine with his pride.

"Tell me why did you just cancel your engagement to Robert?" asked William who was now turning towards Catherine. "Who's the guy in the picture?"

"I don't like Robert and he just wants to use me to seize all the power that belongs to our family."

"really? Isn't it because you cheated?" ask William. "Take care of your attitude, Catherine. You are a Miss of SR Group. Don't embarrass our family's good name!"

"I'm not having an affair. That man was the one who saved me from Robert's persecution" Catherine exclaimed.

"What's? But Robert said that you dumped him because of that man."

Catherine sighed.

"Dad, I've always obeyed you. Whatever you say, I always do. Should I trick you like this? For what, do I have a reason to rebel?" catherine's question made William sigh.

"My daughter, I'm sorry." William walked up to Catherine and took her into his father's arms. "I'm sorry I doubted you. Shouldn't trust********fucking. What, did he harass you?" william let go of his embrace and looked at Catherine softly.

"Almost, but it didn't work." Answer Catherine. "Dad, can you not sell me again for business?"

Catherine's question had William riveted.

"What are you saying. I've never sold you, I just want what's best for you."

"Dad, if it is like that, then from now on let me live my life as I see fit. You have betrothed me a lot with some men from among business people but ended up failing as well. I've earned the title of failed woman." William was still listening to Catherine.

"For now I want to live quietly with Jasmine. Please don't sell me anymore" he exclaimed.

"All right, I'll agree to it. But remember, if you have a man you love and you want to live with him. I keep deciding whether a man is worth it or not."

"Don't let our family's reputation be dishonored."

Aiden had just arrived at the fashion show building hosted by Evelyn. He walked in and handed over the invitation he had brought.

He was directed to the VIP seat at the front. It turned out to be a big demonstration in this N city. Aiden landed his ass on the chair there. He sat quietly until his gaze caught a familiar figure.

"Catherine?" he saw Catherine sitting not far from him. And Catherine seems to be coming with Alan.

'He came with the man again. What exactly is there between the two of them? Do they really have a relationship? Is Catherine turning away from me so soon? Is his love not as sincere as I imagined?' inner Aiden.

The show also began. Someone's hosting the opening ceremony.

Before long, they called Evelyn as their desaigner. Evelyn seemed to give her welcome. But Aiden's view is not to Evelyn but to Catherine who looks very familiar with the man named Alan.

Aiden really burned and was very upset to see all that. What's really going on with him.

The event continued with several models that began to show some models of winter clothes that are very stunning.

Aiden who felt very hot and upset chose to leave the place and walk out of the building. Aiden's departure did not escape the sight of Catherine who turned her head and saw Aiden's back away.

"What's wrong?" ask Alan.

"Emmm there's no." Catherine cried again looking towards the stage. "I go to the toilet first" Catherine said, leaving Alan behind.

Catherine did not go to the bathroom, but instead went out of the building looking for Aiden's whereabouts. Somehow he kept Aiden's mind, let alone heard that Aiden quit the law firm. What exactly is going on? Being a lawyer is not his desire.

He looked to the left and to the right looking for Aiden's whereabouts but he could not find them. He continued walking and saw Aiden standing near the city forest beside this building. Aiden is seen leaning against a tree trunk with one of his hands inserted into the pocket of his coat. And his hand again seemed to hold a cigarette that he smoked occasionally.

Hearing the clattering of footsteps made him turn his head and his eyes immediately collided with the eyes of someone who somehow this time was able to make him palpitate.

"I was just looking for some fresh air" Catherine said, becoming nervous and misbehaving. "All right, I'll go back in."

"Have found me, why did he go back in," said Aiden now walking up to Catherine while throwing his cigarette to the ground that had been filled with snow.

Aiden was now standing before Catherine who still did not dare to look towards Aiden.

"I just want to know if you're okay. Why did you quit the firm?" catherine asked now looking towards Aiden who was in front of her.

Aiden just kept quiet and looked at Catherine closely.

"Emm what's up? Why are you looking at me like that?" catherine asked, getting nervous.

"I was just thinking, are we going to continue like this" Aiden said.

"Indeed what you want. Are you not the one who wants to be like this" exclaimed Catherine.

"I don't know what I want.My eyes are full of fear. Maybe I should go back to Indonesia."

"What do you mean?" catherine was a little surprised.

"I don't have a purpose in life, Cath. I feel lost and I don't understand myself. I'm tired of all this feeling. I am tired of this fear. I don't want my life to make things harder for you. I want to thank you for still caring for me."

"Don't be like that." Catherine Excited.

Catherine looked at Aiden with sadness. "Why do you have to be like this, Aiden? You always make me confused and feel wrong. I don't understand who you are now, and I don't even know how to face you" Catherine looks teary.

Without a word Aiden suddenly grabbed Catherine's cheek and brought her face closer to Catherine's. He put his lips on Catherine's lips. Catherine did not give any resistance or retaliate. He just froze to get a sudden kiss from Aiden.

They kissed in the snow.

Long enough to kiss, Aiden let go of his kiss and their gazes clashed again in a very close distance. Even his nose was red from the cold.

Catherine's tears fell down her cheeks without being able to hold her back. Why should this hurt.

"I'm sorry because I'm so scared of love. That wound runs deep in my heart. I want to get out of this but I can't. I don't believe in love anymore" Aiden said.

Aiden took something out of his coat pocket. He kept the necklace in Catherine's palm.

"I beg you to keep this. As a sign that I've been in your life." Aiden stroked Catherine's cheek. "Don't cry anymore because of me."

Aiden wiped Catherine's tears. 'If I could escape these shackles and love you. I'll be very happy. Can you take me out of this fear, Cath?' inner Aiden.

Aiden left Catherine alone with his reddened eyes holding back his tears. Catherine looked at Aiden's back which was getting further away. He saw tears in Aiden's eyes.

Catherine lowered her head and looked at the necklace on her palm. Her tears fell back down her cheeks.

'What exactly is it that scares you, Aiden?' inner Catherine.
