Chapter 280 - Casual Outfits (1/2)

”Auntie also comes from a simple family. But her relationship with my uncle is very happy,” Nico said openly in front of Anya.

Anya looked at Nico silently. Her mouth suddenly stopped moving from chewing rice. Her body immediately stiffened.

She did not know why the conversation was now on her.

Maria's face looked pale for a moment. She couldn't answer Nico's words.

”If you have the ability to marry the woman you love, no one will stand in your way. But you just don't have the ability. You're also too stupid to hurt your aunt's heart by telling her about her family background,” Aiden rose to his feet with a grim face. He walked towards Anya and pulled her from her seat to go upstairs.

Even Anya didn't have time to finish breakfast. The rice in her mouth was still there, but her appetite was gone.

At the dining table, Maria and Nico could only look at each other. They heard the sound of the bedroom's door on the second floor slamming loudly.

”Nico… You can't say something like that without thinking about it first,” Maria looked at her son angrily. ”Quickly finish your meal and apologize to your uncle and aunt.”

”I'm not wrong. Why can uncle marry aunt, but I can't marry Tara?” Nico asked in disapproval.

”Your uncle's marriage is full of problems. You know for yourself how your uncle's journey, from Keara, Natali, and in the end he was able to marry Anya. He didn't desire to have a relationship with Keara nor did he want to be engaged to Natali. But he did it for this family. Anya is the only woman he chooses. Do you know what your uncle did to marry your aunt? Can't you see his struggles over the years? Then, what have you done to deserve all of that?” Maria firmly scolded him.

Nico lowered his head in embarrassment. He saw his uncle's struggles and efforts when faced with hardships. He saw it with his own eyes.

Aiden was the youngest son of the Atmajaya Family. His two older brothers were amazing, especially Nico's father Ardan. If only Ardan hadn't died, Aiden probably wouldn't need to go through all this.

Ardan was extremely skilled in business. Unfortunately, his health was not good enough that he had to die at a young age. This caused Aiden to step in.

Ardan's death was an opportunity for Imel and Ivan, so Aiden would not let his brother's hard work go to waste.

The feud between Aiden and Ivan continued. Even though Bima spoiled Imel, with Aiden's ability, Imel still couldn't beat him.

Aiden forced Ivan to move overseas, while Aiden took over the Atmajaya Group headquarters.

At the same time, Aiden was also able to control all of the situation because the people in the overseas branch were Aiden's own choice and confidante.

After receiving a warning from his mother, finally Nico could think clearly.

Meanwhile in their room upstairs, Aiden's face looked grim. He was trying to hold back his anger.

”Don't be angry. What Nico said was true. I really…”

”Anya, I won't let you look down on yourself or let someone question my ability to judge you. Marriage is not a business. I'm not investing. I want to be with the woman I love and live comfortably. You are the woman of my choice,” Aiden interrupted.

Anya's heart immediately melted at the answer. She muttered, ”Am I the woman you love?”

”Hmm...” Aiden said, nodding.

'Is it true that I am the only woman you love, Aiden? Then why did I see your lips touch another woman's lips?'

The question was already on the corners of Anya's lips, but she could not ask it.

…

After taking a shower, Aiden stood in front of his dressing room and looked at all his shirts while frowning.

”What's wrong? Can't you find clothes that suit you?” Anya asked.

Aiden didn't answer. Today, he would go to the Tedjasukaman Family house to accompany Anya. He didn't go to work so he didn't want to wear his formal clothes.
