Chapter 250 - Unable To Protect (2/2)

It didn't matter if Nico married the wrong woman and got divorced. He was still the eldest grandson of the Atmajaya Family and his future was still very bright.

But Tara was just a woman. Her situation was different.

Therefore, for the good of both of them, Aiden asked Anya not to interfere in their affairs.

”Uncle, you are saying as if I will betray my partner.” Nico laughed and glanced awkwardly at Tara.

”I think Aiden is right. Many men like to seduce women and cheat on their partners nowadays. There are lots of irresponsible men out there. Nico, you can't be a jerk. Or else I wouldn't think of you as my brother,” Tara said jokingly.

Nico pretended to be calm and said with a smile. ”Am I a man like that?”

”No, no...” Tara laughed. Before this, she would never have dared to laugh in front of Aiden like this. All thanks to her being friendly with Anya that now she could be calmer in front of Aiden.

When she saw Tara's laughter, Anya felt sad. She knew Tara was hiding her sadness with a smile.

”I am hungry. Why isn't the food coming out yet?” Anya asked, deliberately changing the subject. She didn't like this awkward atmosphere.

Aiden glanced at Nico and without waiting any longer, Nico got up and walked out of the room. He shouted loud enough at the front of the room. ”Please quickly serve the food. We're starving already!”

The manager who greeted them immediately approached them with soup. He replied frantically. ”Sir, the soup has arrived. Please eat it first to warm your stomach. I will tell the kitchen to prepare the food faster.”

”Hurry up. My stomach hurts from hunger,” Nico said on purpose.

Aiden immediately poured the soup into a small bowl and gave it to Anya. ”Eat this first.”

”Hmm...” Anya nodded obediently.

Their dinner was great. Nico and Tara were food lovers so they enjoyed their dinner very happily. Seeing the people around her eating heartily, Anya also ate a lot, making Aiden feel happy.

After their meals were served, the manager gave them wine made by their restaurant themselves. Anya tried it and the taste was sweet and delicious!

One glass turned two, and two became three...

When Anya was about to drink the third glass, Aiden immediately took Anya's glass and invited Nico to toast him.

Nico immediately welcomed his uncle's invitation with joy. He poured wine into his uncle's glass and then into his own. ”Uncle, I want to toast to you. Thank you for taking care of me all this time so that I'm not stupid anymore.”

”I don't think so,” Aiden said in a low voice.

”Huh?” Nico was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Aiden meant.

”It means, you are still stupid,” Anya said on purpose.

”Uncle, you can't do this to me. How can you be this cruel even though I really admire you?” Nico grabbed his chest and pretended to be hurt.

Tara glanced at Nico while the man was holding the right side of his chest. ”Is your heart growing on the right?”

”Uncle, my heart hurts!” Nico's hand moved and pressed the center of his chest.

”No wonder your uncle said you were stupid. You don't even know where the heart is. Hold the upper part of your stomach, under the ribs, slightly to the right,” Anya said, shaking her head.

Nico moved his hand again, ”Is this correct?”

Tara nodded. ”Now, please continue your acting. You can pretend to be hurt now.”

Like an actor getting a signal for his acting to begin, Nico stared at Aiden with a pitiful gaze. ”Uncle, I will be hurt if you continue to treat me like this. Tell me what you don't like about me.”
