Chapter 251 - Billions (1/2)
Anya just laughed seeing Nico's behavior. She took the opportunity to secretly take the wine bottle in front of Nico.
When her fingertips had just touched the wine bottle, Aiden moved ahead of her and snatched it.
Anya's eyes were glued to the wine, trying to steal it when Aiden wasn't paying attention. Every now and then, her eyes caught Aiden's hand. As long as Aiden didn't put his hand near the wine, her plan would work.
”You're doing pretty well lately. Keep working hard,” Aiden pushed the bottle away from Anya.
”Uncle, you praise me?” Nico was really moved and said, ”I'm praised!”
Anya's eyes widened as Nico took the wine bottle on the table and poured all of its contents. He finished the bottle of wine!
Anya really wanted that wine!
She had been trying to find a way to get the wine bottle but Aiden continued to block her. And now Nico had finished it all.
Aiden chuckled to see his wife disappointed. He pretended not to know, and ladled the soup into Anya's bowl. ”Eat again,”
Tara chuckled watching it all. ”Anya, the wine is made by this restaurant. Even though it tastes good and sweet, it actually has a very strong alcohol content. Better to eat soup instead of drinking wine,”
”Do you want it?” Aiden asked, raising his eyebrows.
”I don't want the soup!” Anya said with a frown.
Aiden laughed seeing his wife sulking. ”If you like it, we can take it home. But you can only drink one glass per day,” said Aiden with a gaze full of warmth towards Anya.
He would always give whatever Anya wanted.
Anya's eyes lit up as she nodded her head. She accepted the soup bowl given by Aiden and ate it heartily.
”Auntie, sometimes you are very smart. But sometimes you can also act like a child,” Nico said mockingly.
”At least I'm occasionally still smart. Unlike you, always behaving like a child! Don't disappoint your uncle,” Anya answered.
”Auntie, didn't you hear that he just praised me? I did good, he said! Don't worry about me!” Nico said, patting his chest.
”If your work is good, hurry and pay for the food today. Don't forget to pack me a bottle of wine,” Anya carelessly replied.
When Aiden heard Anya's words, his smile grew wider. His little wife was getting smarter at talking.
”Uncle earns billions every year, but Auntie actually forced me to pay and helped Uncle save money. Auntie, I need money too! It should be you and uncle to treat a single man like me,” Nico muttered irritably.
Anya blinked her eyes repeatedly. What did she just hear?
Aiden's annual income was billions. Not millions, not hundreds of millions, but billions…
”Didn't Aiden only get 60 million every year?” Anya asked.
Nico looked at Aiden and showed an expression of surprise and fear. He was afraid that he might divulge a secret in front of his aunt. ”Uncle, did I speak wrong?”
”The place where you live right now is very expensive. A salary of 60 million per month is not enough to live in a house of that size,” Tara did not expect Anya to be this innocent.
”Aiden, if you are that rich, why are you telling me to help with electricity and water costs?” Anya complained.
Nico closed his gaping mouth when he heard Anya's words.
”Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so stingy that you asked Aunt to pay for electricity and water,” Nico immediately defended Anya.
”As a family member, participating in paying for family expenses will strengthen responsibility within the family,” Aiden said casually.
When she heard this excuse, Anya was speechless. Aiden only wanted to involve Anya in their family affairs. Anya didn't know whether she should be upset or touched…
”What Uncle said is true, Auntie. You have to earn money!” Nico said. A second ago, Nico was still defending Anya, but a second later he changed to defending Aiden.
