Chapter 88 - Three Years Ago (1/2)

”But I also don't want to marry Raisa. I like a soft and sweet woman like Auntie!” Nico whined to Aiden.

Aiden stopped walking and turned to Nico when he heard his nephew's answer. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze was dangerous.

”What did you say?” Asked Aiden in a low voice. His voice sounded cold, making Nico's hair stand on end.

”Uncle! You're blindly jealous too. I'm just saying I like women like aunts, the kind of woman who is gentle and obedient. I didn't say I liked her!” Nico immediately explained frantically. He spoke wrong and he would die.

”You don't like Anya?” Aiden felt even more displeased. He frowned as he looked at Nico. His nephew did not like the wife he chose.

Nico could feel his head spinning. Why was everything he did wrong?

If he said he liked his aunt, his uncle would get jealous and kill him. If he said he didn't like his aunt, his uncle would get mad at him. How could he survive this deadly trap? Should he play dead?

”I like her as my aunt.” Nico replied. He racked his brains to come up with an intelligent answer.

One of Aiden's eyebrows rose. Looked like Nico had learned from experience so that now he could answer Aiden's questions correctly.

”Your aunt has a sister who can be introduced to you. Didn't you say you needed a girlfriend as soon as possible?” Aiden said casually. He walked back to the main door of the Atmajaya Group company.

”Uncle, don't frame me. Aunt's only sister is Natali Tedjasukmana.” Replied Nico. What's the difference between Raisa and Natali? Why should he be caught between those two creepy women?

This city was ruled by four major families. First was the Atmajaya Family with the greatest strength and power. After that, the Mahendra Family and the Pratama Family have an equal position. The Tedjasukmana family was indeed in last place, but they were still included in the influential family in this city.

”The Atmajaya family will benefit a lot if you marry one of them. If you have to choose between Raisa and Natali, go for Natali. At least you will get some land with a strategic location as a dowry from the Tedjasukmana Family. After all, they also didn't have the money to develop the land. So, they must hand over the land to our families.” Aiden lectured him seriously. He talked about marriage as if it was a business matter.

Nico shook his head. According to him, there was no best choice between the two options. Both Raisa and Natali were just as bad in Nico's eyes, ”Raisa and Natali are friends. People who are close will tend to have similar traits. I don't want to marry either of them.” Nico said gloomily. He and Aiden walked out of the company to their car.

Aiden was silent for a moment, then he thought about Nico's words to match Raisa with Ivan.

”Ivan must not marry Raisa or Natali. He must not be allowed to gain power in this city. When he comes back, we have to watch him. After your grandfather's birthday celebration is over, I will try to send him back overseas.” Aiden said with a serious look.

”Uncle, why do we have to do this?” Nico felt sad. He couldn't bear to see his happy family become like this.

”Don't be a coward. Maybe you do have a good relationship with Ivan, but what about his mother? Don't you think about what the fate of the Atmajaya Family will be if Ivan marries into an influential family? His mother will definitely run rampant.”

Before getting into his car, Aiden looked at his company again. He looked up and looked at the highest floor, the floor where Anya was. His wife was there, waiting for him in his office. He really wanted to come back and accompany her.

”Uncle, don't look back again. Our client is waiting.” Nico insisted and tried to push Aiden to get into the car.

…

In Aiden's office, Anya was looking out the window, looking at the view of the entire city that laid before her in awe. It was getting late into the afternoon, the color of the sky turned crimson red.

”Madame, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?” Harris asked as he approached Anya.

”Just order what Aiden likes.” Anya replied, still looking out the window.
