Chapter 771 - First Day Of Leaving (1/2)

Anya immediately burst into laughter. ”Is it that hard to guess, Nico? That means, Tara gave something to your medicine. If you don't take the antidote, you will feel the side effects. And you've been taking the medicine for three months. That means you are deeply poisoned and waiting for the drug to strike. So don't make Tara sad!”

”Tara, what have I done to make you poison me?” Nico almost cried knowing that.

”You didn't do anything wrong, but that doesn't mean you won't make mistakes while on set. I'm just taking precautions. You are young and you are easily tempted. I'm afraid you will cheat on me. Do you understand?” Tara said.

”You have to tell me, what are the side effects of this poison?” Nico asked anxiously.

”This poison will make you unable to do anything to other women. You'll feel nervous and have trouble breathing if you want to do something weird,” Tara said.

Nico felt numb when he heard that. ”But I'm going to film my first movie. How can I be indifferent to my coworkers? Do you want to switch all the female leads on set to male ones?”

”You can pretend, but don't laugh at feelings. Use your acting skills and don't fall in love with the female leads. Anyway, I told you you'd get nervous and have trouble breathing if you thought about anything weird. If you go to a hotel with someone, maybe you will die there.”

Tara said it very calmly, but it really scared Nico to death.

Anya laughed at Nico and then said to Aiden, ”Aiden, you're the uncle, don't you want to say anything?”

”If he cheats on his pregnant wife, he deserves to die!” Aiden said coldly.

”What did you say? You don't believe me, do you? Even my own wife didn't hesitate to poison me. Am I that untrustworthy?” Nico asked angrily.

”Yes,” Anya answered.

”That's right,” Tara nodded.

”When everyone doesn't believe in you, take a look at yourself and find out why. Do you understand?” Aiden ignored Nico, closing his eyes to relax on this rare day off.

Nico turned to look at Tara. ”Tara, you poisoned me because you loved me and were afraid that I might do something wrong, right?”

”Right,” Tara didn't deny it.

”I may be childish, but I promised I would change. I'll take care of you and our kids later.” Nico kissed the back of Tara's hand and pulled her into his arms.

…

The next morning, Nico returned to town.

Aiden and Anya just woke up, while Indah had breakfast with her grandsons and invited them to play.

”Tara, let's have breakfast,” Anya called out to Tara and saw her best friend sitting alone by the window, lost in thought.

Tara turned and looked at her. ”Shouldn't I let him go?”

”Let him gain some experience,” Anya consoled.

”I didn't poison him. I was just scaring him.” Tara got up and walked outside accompanied by Anya.

”We all know. But Nico is too dense for that,” Anya said with a laugh. ”Did you see his expression yesterday? He was so frightened that his face turned pale.”

”Nico may look stupid, but he is actually very responsible. Don't worry.” Aiden also sat down at the dining table.

Tara silently looked at Anya in worry and Anya returned the look with a supportive gesture so Tara wouldn't be scared.

Indeed, Aiden looked so scary. But it didn't erase the fact that he was very kind, especially to his own family.

But that's only how Anya saw him. For Tara, Aiden was hard to approach.

Anya helped Tara to sit up and got a pillow for her waist so she could lean back more comfortably.
