Chapter 281 - Engaged (1/2)
Anya was stunned when Aiden came out of the changing room. Was this really her husband?
”Am I the only one who thought that celebrity came out? Uncle, it's a shame you don't work in the entertainment world!” Nico exclaimed, praising Aiden so he would forgive him.
Aiden chose a pair of sunglasses from the cabinet and put them on. He looked relaxed, but still exuded a dominant aura, not boyish at all. Absolute authority still radiated from his entire body.
”My husband is so handsome!” Anya couldn't help herself from praising Aiden.
”Because my wardrobe collections are very good!” Nico said proudly.
”It's because my husband is so handsome that he can wear ordinary clothes but still look like a superstar, not because of your good clothes,” Anya approached Aiden and said, ”I chose this for you. Aren't I a good chooser?”
Aiden nodded. ”Let's go,” he said while stroking his wife's head.
Nico felt neglected and took the courage to ask, ”Uncle, how about me?”
Aiden pretended not to hear Nico's words. He took Anya's hand and passed through Nico as he walked out of the room.
”Uncle, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm really sorry,” Nico said, begging Aiden.
”You shouldn't apologize to me, but to your aunt,” Aiden replied coldly.
”Auntie, I'm sorry. I…”
”I won't get mad at stupid kids. Try to think again about your uncle's previous plan. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with your uncle than to try to persuade your grandfather?” Before leaving, Anya gave Nico a suggestion.
It's true, if Aiden became the head of the Atmajaya Family, his life as well as his mother's would get easier.
Nico didn't even mind when Anya called him a stupid kid, because indeed he had been fooling around enough today.
Nico followed them downstairs and led them to the car. Then, he turned towards the living room.
Maria came out of the kitchen and gave Nico a confused look. ”What's wrong? Is your uncle still mad at you?” She asked.
”No, Mother, please arrange a blind date for me,” Nico suddenly said.
Maria was angry with Nico's decision. ”This kid! Just because you don't have a way, doesn't mean you can just give up. At breakfast, you said you liked Tara. Why do you want to go on a blind date now?”
Nico led his mother to the sofa to talk. He whispered in his mother's ear, ”Uncle told me to get engaged immediately and asked for 5% of the company's shares as a gift for my engagement. That way, uncle will become the largest shareholder in the company.”
Maria thought for a moment and tried to digest Aiden's plan. ”I don't think your grandfather will give it,”
”When Uncle Ivan and Keara got engaged, Grandpa gave them 5% stake in the company. Mother's job is to find a suitable partner as my fiancée so I can negotiate with grandfather,” Nico said.
Maria shook her head. ”To get shares, you are willing to get engaged to someone you don't like and then you will cancel the engagement at a later date. It's not fair to your partner,”
”Then, find me a partner who's willing to do it. This matchmaking is just a game,” Nico said casually.
Maria thought for a moment, then a name came to her mind, the name of the partner Nico had requested.
”If that's what you want, I have a suitable candidate. You don't like her and she doesn't like you either,” Maria said with a smile.
