Chapter 585 - In Front Of Outsiders (2/2)

”Maria, don't go too far!” Imel shouted angrily.

”Tara is my daughter-in-law, she's engaged to Nico. And Anya is the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family. Who is the outsider here?” Maria said coldly.

Tara saw Nico wink at her, but she could only look away.

Anya pretended not to be there and said nothing. Bima asked her to come, meaning that he wouldn't let Imel embarrass her, right?

”Bima, look at your eldest daughter-in-law. She called me an outsider,” Imel hugged Bima's arm, complaining. ”Nico also caused trouble. We came to help but Maria wanted me out instead!”

”Maria said it because you spoke to Tara and Anya like that. No matter what Nico did, he was just trying to save his little sister. Today, I've summoned all of you to solve the problem, not to complicate it,” Bima said.

”I will listen to all of your decisions, father,” Ivan said.

Bima nodded with satisfaction.

”Grandpa, I don't have anything to do with Raisa. If you don't believe it, you can ask her directly. I don't want to marry anyone but Tara and she is pregnant with my child now,” Nico said carelessly.

Tara immediately glared, feeling her eyeballs almost pop out of her head. She was pregnant with Nico's child? How could she, as the owner of her body, not even know?

Anya immediately turned her head and looked at Tara. Didn't Nico and Tara just make love last night? How could Tara get pregnant in one day? That'd be truly extraordinary.

”Is it true? Tara is pregnant?” Bima's face was immediately excited. ”It has been a long time since the Atmajaya Family received such good news.”

Tara wanted to say that she was not pregnant. She didn't understand why Nico was speaking carelessly like this.

When she heard that Tara was pregnant, Imel's face immediately turned gloomy. Her cold gaze immediately swept towards Tara's stomach.

Maria immediately stepped forward and protected Tara and Anya behind her. She was like a mother chicken trying to protect her chicks.

Imel looked away and looked at Bima with a smile. ”Bima, just look at Nico. His child is already on the way. If so, Ivan's marriage cannot be postponed any longer.”

”Grandpa, I have to marry Tara first. I can wait, but the baby in Tara's belly can't. If Uncle Ivan married first, my marriage would be delayed,” Nico said.

Anya just understood why Nico suddenly said that Tara was pregnant. He wanted to postpone the marriage between Ivan and Raisa and turn it into an engagement.

”Father, it is inappropriate for uncle and nephew to get married at the same time. How about letting Nico and Tara get married first? Then a few months later, we can have Ivan and Raisa's wedding. Tara is pregnant, you don't want her child to be born without legal parents right?” Maria said.

”Not! How could Ivan's marriage be postponed? If Tara is pregnant, let her register her marriage first and have a party after the child is born. A woman getting married during her pregnancy is bad for the baby,” Imel immediately became the first person to reject the suggestion.

”Let me and Anya help Tara. Tara doesn't have to do anything. I will never let my daughter-in-law get hurt. I have to give her a proper marriage before her child is born,” Maria's words showed that she didn't want Tara's child to be born like Ivan, without a legal father and without marriage.

Ivan would be forever overshadowed by his status as an illegitimate child.

At first, Tara wanted to say that she was not pregnant, but Anya continued to hold her back. Finally, after she knew Nico's intentions, she didn't expose his lies.

”Bima, didn't you hear Maria's words? You should have done the same thing when I was pregnant with Ivan,” Imel said. Now she was trying to force Bima to marry her.

”Maria is right. We can't hurt Tara. Ivan, how about you get engaged first and postpone your marriage to Raisa?” Bima suggested, looking at Ivan.
