Chapter 281 - Engaged (2/2)

”You're not talking about Lisa, are you?” Nico immediately knew what his mother was thinking.

”Right. You already know, because you like a doctor, Lisa jumped out of the second floor's window and broke her leg. Now she can't go anywhere,” Maria said.

”She has another man in her heart! That's right!” Nico exclaimed excitedly.

”According to your requirements, Lisa is the most suitable woman for you. It's just that Lisa is Keara's cousin. If Lisa becomes your fiancée, she should call Keara her aunt now,”

”Can she find someone who suits her better than me in this city? If she can't find him, she shouldn't mind calling Keara an aunt,” Nico replied confidently.

”Okay. Mother will help you. But I don't want you to follow your uncle's steps. Your grandfather was really cruel. He can neglect family relationships just for profits. If your uncle is in charge of the Atmajaya family, we can live more comfortably,” Maria said calmly.

Nico hugged his mother's arm. ”Mother, don't worry. I will protect you when I grow up,”

”I can't depend on you. You always worry me. Your father is not here. Without your uncle, you and I might have been kicked out elsewhere by your grandfather,” Maria said with a deep sigh.

”You always say that mom's playing favorite and treats your uncle better than you. Do you realize that you can get a pretty high position in the company because of your uncle? He gives you the opportunity to gain experience, pioneering your footsteps in the company. Your uncle is the one who always supports you from behind. Learn to be grateful!” Maria advised Nico.

Nico had always been spoiled since childhood that he could get everything he wanted. Now was the perfect time for her son to grow up.

Nico laughed and leaned his head on Maria's shoulder. ”I know you are very good to me. But I couldn't contain my anger. Uncle knows what it feels like to be engaged to a woman he doesn't love, but he did the same to me,”

Maria slapped Nico's thigh a little hard, making Nico startled by the pain.

”Nico, why are you so greedy? Your uncle was superior to you in every way, but he himself could not escape the match. How about you? How can you avoid it?” Maria scolded.

”I know I was wrong, Mom. I'll apologize again to my uncle when he comes back from the office later,” Nico said.

”Let me arrange the blind date with Lisa,” Maria said.

”Let me know when you have arranged it. I'm going to work,” Nico hugged his mother gently. ”Mother, I promise to give you happiness in this life.”

”I'll wait for it,” Maria smiled and patted Nico on the back. She was touched to see her childish son's development. Nico still had a long way to learn about life as life itself wasn't only made of happiness and joy.

On his way to work, Nico got a call from Raka.

”Nico, can you persuade Anya not to take the Tedjasukmana Family's house? I will buy the house, whatever the price. Uncle Deny's health was not well and he was used to living there. It is not appropriate to expel them right now,” Raka said from the other end of the phone.

Nico could only grimace in embarrassment. ”I can't persuade my aunt because my uncle accompanied her there. This morning, I just offended the two of them with the wrong words. So, they won't want to listen to me now,”

”Did Aiden come too? I'll be right there to see the situation,” Raka immediately hung up the phone and headed straight for the Tedjasukmana Family's house.

…

Meanwhile, Anya and Aiden had arrived in front of the Tedjasukmana Family's house.

Two months had passed, she was back standing in front of the gate of her house again. She still remembered two months ago when Mona beat her so badly, not letting her into the house.

This house belonged to her mother, and she couldn't even step inside. How ironic.

”Should I accompany you inside?” Aiden asked softly.
