The Exchanged Bride
Bonus Chapter - Surprise

The next day, Aiden and his family prepared to return to the city. Not forgetting they stopped by the cemetery to say goodbye to Alm Haira's parents.

Along the way, Haira continued to develop a smile. She is happy and very lucky to have a husband like Aiden.

"Are you happy?" Aiden rubbed Haira's head slowly.

"I've never been this happy. Thank you." Thank you." Haira hugged Aiden even though Suzzy and Icha were sitting behind them.

Five hours later, they arrived home. The atmosphere looked strange as all the bodyguards were standing guard in every corner of the house and courtyard. Usually they would not keep such a tight guard unless there was an important event in the mansion.

Although Haira is suspicious, she follows Aiden into the house. Once inside, there was nothing strange.

'Maybe it's just my feelings.' Inner Haira.

"Oh yes, dear. Let's go check on my pet bird in the back" Aiden asked.

"of course. Susi and Icha, please take the twins to the room. Looks like they're exhausted again" Haira said.

Suzzy and Icha nodded. They took William and Harry who had been asleep since they were on their way into the room.

Haira follows Aiden towards the back of the house. However, as Aiden held onto the door handle, Haira held him back.

"Wait on! Don't you have a pet bird?"

"Some, I just bought it without your knowledge."

"I can't believe it. You don't like spending time with pets, anyway. With twins only rarely, especially with birds."

"Alright, Haira. Come on along." Aiden forced Haira to come out as she opened the door.

"SERVICE!!!"

"you guys? What's the matter?" Haira was still astonished to see them.

"We came here to surprise you." Alea approached Haira and led her to the garden behind the house.

There are many tables and chairs that have been decorated. Complete with dishes and some party decorations.

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to be preparing for this. This is not a special day." Haira wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Not a special day? Haira, it's your birthday." Sevina reminded.

"Huh? Really true?" Haira checked her phone to see the date.

"True, it's my birthday. Oh, my God, I'm getting forgetful." Haira laughed at herself.

"We are not surprised. You are forgetful." Sevina patted Haira's back while laughing.

"And because we know you don't like festive parties, we made you this simple party. We've also invited Resya and Dean. Maybe they're on their way." Alea explained.

"Thank you, you understand me so much." Haira wiped the corner of her eyes as she was moved by the surprise from her friends.

"You have to remember, not all mothers only talk about expensive bags. I like the simple things." Sevina embraced Haira so kindly.

"Yes, let's eat. I'm hungry." Reyza opened her voice.

"Yes, yeah, yeah okay. I'm hungry too." Aiden added.

They sat on a chair with a table full of food. And not long after, Resya and Dean came. They mingled and ate together. Sometimes they laugh when they hear jokes from Resya and Sevina.

Haira was very happy. He did not expect if the friend he thought was just a business partner could make a surprise that he really craved like this. Eat together, joke around, and laugh.
