Chapter 187 - The Engagement (1/2)

”Aiden, can you see?” Asked Maria in surprise. How did Aiden know that Nico grilled two fish? Had Aiden's eyes recovered? Could he really see again?

Maria's eyes looked hopeful as she asked this.

”I can smell it.” Aiden said casually.

Maria's face immediately turned pale when she heard Aiden's answer. The hope in her eyes immediately dimmed and she said sadly, ”I think your eyes have recovered.”

”I'm used to being like this.” Aiden took his fork and stabbed the fish in his plate. He deliberately stabbed the plate so that it almost fell to the ground to convince Maria that he really hadn't recovered.

Anya realized that Aiden was pretending in front of his sister-in-law because he didn't want to give false hopes. Aiden's eyesight could get worse at any time so it was better for them to hide this first.

She immediately took the fork in Aiden's hand, ”I've worked hard to cook it. You have to finish it. Let me feed you.”

”Hmm…” Aiden accepted it happily.

Maria's eyes were red and her throat felt like it was choked. After that, she tried to change the subject, ”After eating this one, come inside, we will have lunch.”

Anya was stunned for a moment at Maria's words, ”Aren't we currently having a barbecue in the park?”

”The kitchen waiter has prepared grilled lamb and various other menus. Nico just wants to have fun and have a barbecue in the park so he can grill meat and satay.” Maria replied.

Anya blinked her eyes repeatedly. She thought the Atmajaya Family were really simple and warm like any other family so they could have a barbecue and prepare their own food.

But as it turned out, this barbecue party was just a game for Nico. The servants in the kitchen had prepared another, far more luxurious meal. They would eat in a cool dining room and eat their lamb while drinking wine. The Atmajaya family was indeed one of the ruling families in this city!

Nico was just having a barbecue to please Tara who loved food so much.

Anya was the only one to really think that they were going to have a barbecue lunch in this park.

”Sis, come back first. After finishing the fish, we will go inside.” Anya said with a smile.

Maria nodded and turned towards Nico, ”Nico, let's have lunch.”

”After these two fish are finished I'll go in!” Nico immediately looked at Tara and realized that Tara's face was flushed with heat. Tara was standing beside a grill holding a fan. Her hands continued to shake, but sweat still flowed down her forehead, ”Tara, come in first. Look at your face, it's already red with heat. I'll bring the fish when it's cooked.”

”I'll be waiting for you here. I have to make sure you cook and season the fish properly!” Tara didn't want to go into the house alone and make the fish her excuse. It was better to be outside with Nico even when she was hot, than to go inside. There was only Bima in the house. The atmosphere must be really awkward!

Maria only laughed when she heard that, ”Alright, alright.” She said as she walked in first.

After Maria entered the house, Anya used plastic gloves so she could feed Aiden more quickly. Every now and then, she would also enjoy the grilled fish she made.

After the fish ran out, she took Aiden's hand and invited him to enter the house.

Nico had also finished grilling two of the fish and placed them on a plate. He and Tara walked in front of Aiden and Anya, heading towards the house.
