Chapter 189 - Just Seeing What She Wants (1/2)
”Aiden, if you don't want a divorce, hurry up and have kids. With that, your wife will be useful.” Bima said sarcastically as if Anya had no other use than helping Aiden to get offspring.
Anya's ears were buzzing when she heard that question. She didn't know how the topic of their conversation had suddenly shifted to her.
Having kids? She was very young herself!
She hadn't even graduated from college yet.
”Father, Anya and Aiden just got married. Don't rush into telling them to have children. Let them enjoy their world first.” Maria suggested.
”Grandpa, do you want grandchildren? Here is one of your grandchildren here. Hug me!” Nico ran towards Bima spoiled and pretended to ask for a hug.
Bima immediately laughed loudly seeing the behavior of his favorite grandson, ”Nico is indeed my smartest grandson since childhood.”
”Grandpa, try this fish that I grilled. It must be really good!” Nico was like the 'happy virus' in the Atmajaya family. He's so cheerful and fun that it's easy to break the ice. His presence in the Atmajaya Family was very important to make up for the bad atmosphere.
”Come here. Sit next to Grandpa.” Bima called him to sit in the place closest to him.
Nico immediately took the wine bottle and poured the wine for Bima, ”Grandpa, try this red wine. I just stole it from Uncle's wine room.”
”Nico!” Aiden snapped.
”I want to go home and eat with Grandpa today. Of course I have to bring home some fine wine for grandpa. I'm really a filial child, right!” Nico was very clever to win Bima's heart.
”Yes, yes. You are indeed grandfather's favorite grandson. It's not like someone who hides their wine and doesn't want to give it to me.” Bima glanced at Aiden and then said to Nico, ”Raisa doesn't deserve you. Women who can be your wives must be independent, mature and beautiful. And what's more, she must have a good background. Raisa is quite beautiful, but she's not worth it for you.”
Nico laughed when he heard him, ”I know Grandpa loves me and won't let me fall into a hole.”
Anya watched the incident in awe. She admired Nico. How could Nico get the grim and stern Bima to agree with his opinion?
Nico and Tara once stole flowers from Tara's grandpa garden. Today, he and Tara again stole Aiden's wine.
It was clear that his character was very naughty. But he could make Bima praise him and even agree to all of his requests.
Then, Anya glanced at Aiden. Seeing Aiden's stiff and tough nature, she knew that Aiden could not possibly be spoiled in front of his elders. This could be the reason why Aiden and his father were not very close together either.
”Tara, sit next to me.” Maria said warmly.
Tara immediately nodded and sat next to Maria obediently.
In the garden, Tara was very cheerful and full of enthusiasm. However, after entering the Atmajaya Family house, she looked so obedient and quiet. She never opened her mouth except when asked.
Anya was the same too. She stood beside Aiden, uttering nothing to say. Aiden would represent her whenever a conversation needed to involve them.
”Anya, sit across from me.” Maria said.
Bima sat at one end of the table, indicating that he was the head of the house's family. Nico took the first seat on the right, followed by Maria and Tara who were farthest away so he felt very comfortable.
After that, Maria arranged for Aiden to sit on the first chair to the left of Bima and then Anya next to him. The place was too close to Bima so the pressure felt by Anya was very high.
Aiden held Anya's hand while his other hand held the table. He immediately walked across to Maria, but left the first seat empty.
He sat on the second seat, while Anya sat on the third seat, right in front of Tara.
Anya breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that her seat was far from the first place. At least, she could calm down a little.
Bima looked at the empty position beside him and said to Aiden sarcastically, ”If you really don't want to be around me, why are you coming home?”
Home? Aiden never even considered this place his home.
