Chapter 387 - Waiting (1/2)

”Nico is in love with Lisa and we have to support him,” said Aiden.

Nico immediately glared at his uncle. Instead of helping him, Aiden only made the misunderstanding between them worse.

He immediately explained, ”It's not like that, Tara. The baby in Lisa's stomach isn't mine. Her family doesn't approve of her relationship with the baby's father and I'm only helping her,”

Tara ignored Nico's explanation and pointed to the medicine cabinet by the bed. ”Bring my medicine box here. I need digestive medicine,”

”Digestive medicine? Are you full?” Nico just realized why Tara was leaning on the sofa in such a strange position. It was all because her stomach was filled with food to the brim.

”It's all your fault,” Tara complained in a bitter voice. ”You didn't come right away and help me eat. Anya has no appetite and can't help me either. Your uncle said wasting food is not good. If I can't finish it, I'll have to pay for everything,” her face looked annoyed because now her stomach was really full.

Nico tried to hide his laugh. It was obvious Tara didn't want to pay so she did her best to get all the food in her mouth.

He immediately took Tara's medicine box from the bedside. Tara immediately took out the digestive medicine and drank it without hesitation.

”Tara, did you hear what I said earlier?” Nico sat beside Tara.

”Don't come near me. I'm sick,” Tara said, pushing Nico's body away from her.

But Nico didn't care if Tara kicked him out. ”The child Lisa is carrying is really not mine,” he said.

”I am not your family and also not your lover. You don't need to explain anything to me. I don't care about Lisa's child. After you get married, I will also get married,” Tara said calmly.

Anya could only look at Nico with pity. She knew how much Nico struggled to get the freedom to be with Tara, the woman of his choice.

”Tara, in front of my uncle and aunt, I promise I won't marry Lisa or any woman. I will not spare you if you marry someone else, no matter who that man is,” said Nico.

Tara didn't answer Nico's words. She just looked at Aiden and asked, ”Aiden, do you have anything to say?”

”You can choose to wait for it or leave it. If you find your own happiness, the Atmajaya Family will never let Nico bother you,” Aiden promised.

”Uncle!” Nico glared at Aiden. ”You told me to do all this so I can be with Tara. I'm willing to be father Lisa's child for a while, just to get a share from Grandpa! But what use is the stock, if I can't be with Tara? What's the use of the money I worked so hard for?”

Tara laughed, but it sounded bland. ”I am a pragmatic person. Apart from food, I also love money. If you leave the Atmajaya Family, I will never want to elope with you. What would happen to you without the Atmajaya Family huh?”

She was a smart and rational woman. The only thing Tara wanted in this world was to live comfortably. And to achieve that, she needed as much money as possible.

Without the name of the Atmajaya Family, what could Nico be? He's still a child. He'd always depended on Aiden and his family throughout his entire life. He wasn't independent at all and couldn't fight alone…

”I will not leave the Atmajaya Family. But I also will not give up on getting you,” said Nico.

”I don't want to know what your plan is. Don't ever involve me. After all, I promised you, if you are not married, I will not marry either. Aren't you satisfied with that?” Tara said.

”As long as you are willing to wait for me, I will never disappoint you,” Nico considered Tara's promise a hope for him.
