”If I were the head of the Atmajaya Family, I would never force you to marry someone you don't love. I've experienced it too and I just freed myself from that. Come home. Don't involve your aunt,” Aiden didn't want Anya to get more involved in the Atmajaya Family's complicated matters. He would try his best to protect Anya, even if he had to sacrifice Nico.

”Uncle, you can't do this to me. You're married to Auntie. Your married life is very happy. Why do I have to marry a woman I don't love?” Nico complained.

”I told you you don't need to get married. Just get engaged and cancel the engagement at the right time,” Aiden said.

Anya also felt a little hesitant to interfere in this matter. After all, Aiden's father was still alive and in charge of the entire Atmajaya Family. Anya and Aiden could not oppose Bima's decision.

”Nico, how about you get engaged first just to fulfill your grandfather's wish? Then, you can find the right time to cancel the engagement,” Anya suggested.

Nico sat on the edge of the sofa and said in a weak voice. ”Auntie, it's not as simple as you think. Since this is a matchmaking for cooperation, whoever wants to cancel it will have to compensate. My grandfather loved money as much as he loved himself. For him, money is his number one priority. Even when my uncle was kidnapped, he preferred to report it to the police rather than pay a ransom. Do you think Grandpa is willing to cancel the engagement?”

Anya was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Was there really no other way?

”Uncle, you also raised me from childhood. Do you really have the heart to make me feel what you felt once?” Nico didn't give up and tried to melt Aiden's heart.

Aiden's lips curved into a cold smile. ”What can you do for me if I help you?”

Nico's eyes lit up at hearing that. He knew there must be a way to turn things around. ”Uncle, tell me what you want and I will give it,”

”Ask your grandfather for a 5% stake in the Atmajaya Group as an engagement gift. With that, I will become the largest shareholder in the Atmajaya Group,” Aiden said.

”So Uncle actually has a plan!” Nico laughed. ”Alright, alright. If Grandpa wants me to get engaged, I'll ask for shares from him. That way, uncle will become the largest shareholder and help me to cancel the engagement,”

”If it is me who holds the power, of course I will protect you. I will not interfere with your love relationship. You can marry anyone you want,” Aiden promised to Nico.

After reaching an agreement with Aiden, Nico's mood improved. He no longer worried about the blind date his grandfather had planned. ”I'm going to call my mother and say that I want company stock,”

”Hmm…” Aiden muttered.

Nico was feeling really excited, but Aiden wasn't really as sure as Nico.

Bima was a very smart man. He would never give Nico a gift of company stock even if his favorite grandson was engaged.

Aiden thought this problem could only be solved by asking Maria for help.

After knowing that the problem was resolved, Nico returned home with a happy heart. Meanwhile, Aiden went to his study to finish his work and Anya returned to her room to take a shower, then sleep.

While checking Anya's health, Tara reminded Aiden not to overwork Anya with their 'extreme sports'.

Tara knew she had to say it in front of Aiden as Anya wouldn't be able to refuse her husband. If Aiden really cared about Anya, he needed to hold back.

They were married and would live together for life. If Aiden was a wise man, he would choose to hold back so that Anya's health would improve and they could live happily.

However, Anya did not think Aiden would really do that for her sake.

That night, Aiden just hugged Anya's body and they fell asleep until morning.

That night, Aiden held back for Anya's health!

When she woke up the next morning, Anya realized that her menstrual cycle had arrived and she did not feel any pain in her body. Apparently, herbal medicine, nutritious food and adequate rest really made her body much better.

”Good morning, my husband,” Anya ran to the locker room and hugged Aiden who was changing clothes from behind.

”It's still early morning, but Mrs. Atmajaya is already very excited. Are you trying to seduce me?” Aiden said jokingly.
