BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57 - The Quarrel Of Two Small Children
The atmosphere in the family room of Aiden's house was very unpleasant. Anya kept trying to persuade Aiden not to get angry, but all the words that came out of her mouth seemed useless.
She became increasingly nervous seeing Aiden who kept silent. She didn't know what the man was thinking.
Suddenly, the door to their house burst open, "Uncle, I'm hungry. I want to come to lunch at your house." Nico shouted loudly, not knowing what was going on inside.
When he saw the two people sitting on the sofa in a strange atmosphere, he was immediately stunned. He cleared his throat softly and was about to turn around, "Ehem ... Looks like I came at a bad time."
But before he could leave, Hana suddenly appeared behind him, smiling, "Of course not! Mr. Nico arrived at the perfect time. The lunch is ready." Said Hana, preventing Nico from leaving.
Nico lowered his head and whispered to Hana, "I think the atmosphere is not good." He didn't want to interfere in his uncle's matters. Better to eat elsewhere.
Hana just laughed and ignored Nico's worries, "Madame just doesn't want Mr. Aiden to go overseas tomorrow. She was afraid that she would miss him." Hana replied very casually as if it was a normal thing.
Anya could hear Hana's words. Her face immediately flushed with embarrassment. She immediately got up from the sofa and said, "Nico came at the right time. Come and eat with us!"
Aiden only grumbled and muttered indistinctly.
At the dinner table, Nico felt really uneasy and wanted to get out of the place. It felt like he couldn't swallow the food that had gotten into his mouth.
Aiden's eyes were calm like a peaceful lake as he glanced at Nico, "Is there a needle in your chair? Why can't you sit quietly?"
Nico choked at his uncle's cruel insinuation. It felt like he really wanted to cry. Why did he have to come at such a bad time? His uncle had turned into a hungry tiger!
He looked at Anya, frowning and whispered, "Aunt, what did you do to uncle? Why is uncle like this?"
Anya didn't know what to answer. She just glanced at Aiden and answered Nico with a smile, "No, nothing. We're just planning our date later."
Nico immediately stood up when he heard Anya's words. He stood up suddenly, making his chair roll backwards, "Date?"
Aiden rolled his eyes when he saw his nephew's overly dramatic behavior. Why didn't Nico just become an actor? Aiden thought Nico would be very famous if he worked in the acting world.
"Uncle, tomorrow you will go abroad and leave the office. Are you sure you want to go on a date? Don't you still have a lot of work to do at the office?" Said Nico, staring at Aiden in protest.
"No need. There are you and Harris in the office." Said Aiden casually.
Nico's face immediately looked bitter, "Uncle, don't trust me too much. I'm still inexperienced. I can't live without you, Uncle!" Nico said. Either way, he had to cancel his uncle's date. If not, he would be busy alone in the office.
"Nico, this is your uncle's first date with me! Can't you make sacrifices a little?" Anya asked irritably. She thought Nico's arrival would help her. However, Nico would only annoy Aiden even more. Anya wouldn't let that happen!
Aiden felt a little happy when he heard Anya's words. This meant that Anya also wanted to go on a date with him so he joined in her defense. A faint smile crossed Aiden's lips.
This woman really was dangerous to him. She could sway Aiden's feelings easily, as if turning her palm. A second ago, he felt angry with her, but a second later he felt happy again.
On the other hand, when he heard Anya's words, Nico immediately glared at the woman, "Auntie, don't come along! I really need Uncle at the office. If Uncle doesn't come with me to the office, I won't come out of this house!" He said with his hands on his hips. Then, he returned to his seat, indicating that he would not leave without Aiden.
Aiden only raised his eyebrows when he heard Nico, "I can get my people to take you to the office very easily."
"No! Uncle, please don't leave me alone!" Said Nico. He sounded childish and acted like an elementary school kid who didn't want to be left by his parents alone. He pulled his chair to get closer to Aiden.
"Harris, please take Nico to his car." Aiden said calmly.
"Uncle! I haven't even eaten yet!" Nico said with a pained face. He didn't want to do all the work alone. He would have spent his day overtime at the office if his uncle was absent from work.
Anya also pulled her chair towards Aiden, so that Anya and Nico flanked Aiden from right and left. She hugged Aiden's arm as if she wouldn't let him go. Nico and Anya were like two children fighting over the toys they wanted. Neither one of them wanted to budge.
"I will ask the servants to wrap your food. You can eat at the office. Your uncle must rest, don't disturb him!" Said Anya.
Nico gave her an annoyed look, "Auntie, don't be selfish. Uncle is not only yours! He has to organize a lot of things in the office. He can't go on dates casually."
Aiden could only shake his head. He felt like a teddy bear that was being fought over.
However, all of a sudden, Anya looked at Aiden and said, "Aiden, your nephew is glaring at me! He wants to mess up our date." She said in a pitiful voice. Her lips pouted slightly as if she was annoyed that their date plan was going to be canceled.
"Oh no! No, Aunt. You can't use this cheating method!" Nico was flabbergasted when he saw this. He thought his aunt was a gentle woman. Who would have thought that her aunt would cling to her uncle's arm so spoiled and complain about him!
After becoming acquainted with Anya, he thought that his aunt could help him face the tiger-like Aiden. Who knew that her aunt was making him even more difficult? What a sad life!
Aiden's cold face immediately warmed when he saw Anya's behavior, "So what? Women have the right to be spoiled by their own husbands!" He said with a smile.
"Aiden, you are leaving tomorrow. I want to spend the day with you and you shouldn't be too tired either." Said Anya while looking at Aiden's face.
"Okay!" Aiden replied while stretching out his hand to stroke Anya's head.
Anya was surprised to see Aiden's change in attitude. Before they were at the dinner table, the man was so angry with her that he didn't want to speak at all. But now, that man was very gentle with her. She just couldn't understand a man's way of thinking!
"Uncle! Don't you care about me anymore?" Nico asked sadly.
Suddenly, Hana came bringing a lunch box which was still warm, "Mr. Nico, your lunch is ready." She said.
Nico's jaw dropped upon Hana's arrival, "Mrs. Hana, why are you also like this to me?" He said with a sad face.
Hana just chuckled seeing Nico's childish behavior, "Your uncle and aunt rarely have time to be together. Harris, please escort Mr. Nico out." Said Hana.
"Uncle, I can't do it without you!" Nico begged him.
Nico's words only made Anya hug Aiden's arm tighter, "Aiden is mine." She said, like a child guarding her toys from being snatched by others.
"Auntie, I didn't take Uncle from you. Lend Uncle to me, just three hours. After that I'll give him back to you." Said Nico. He embraced Aiden's other arm, making Hana laugh seeing him.
"I will not lend my husband. My husband is not something to borrow." Said Anya, sticking out her tongue.
Aiden looked at the woman who was hugging his arm with a smile. Anya had always tried to be strong in facing everything. She never once depended her life on other people and always tried to do everything alone. But apparently, Anya also had a childish side like this. The spoiled side that made Aiden want to protect and look after her.
"Uncle, I can't lead meetings in the office alone." Nico said, his tone changed into serious.
"Hmm ... But I want to go on a date." Aiden said with a smile.
Nico gasped when he heard that. His mouth slightly opened as if he couldn't believe what he just heard, "Are you my uncle? What happened to my workaholic uncle?" Nico asked.
"I am her husband now, not your uncle. Go away!" Said Aiden while tilting his head towards Anya.
"Uncle, it turns out that you don't love me anymore after marrying aunt." Nico said as he turned and left. His lips pursed as he left the room, but he didn't forget to bring the lunch box that Hana had given him.
Aiden could only shake his head at Anya and Nico's behavior. The two of them fought like two small children. Luckily, Aiden really loved them both.
