BXBX NOVEL Chapter 370 - Spreading Gossip
"Lisa\'s leg was almost healed, so I took her out on a date. I just want to avoid the people in her house. I just pretended to go out with her, but actually she went to meet her boyfriend. And in the end, she got pregnant like this..." Nico said to his mother.
"Her family thinks that you are dating her so they must think that the child in her womb is yours. What is Lisa\'s opinion about all this?" Maria asked.
"Her doctor lover didn\'t have the courage to be with her. She wanted to be engaged to me to provoke her lover\'s jealousy so that he would take responsibility. But what I\'m worried about is, what if that guy doesn\'t want to take responsibility?" Nico asked, his face looking worried.
"If the guy doesn\'t want to take responsibility, you can get engaged first and then look for an opportunity to cancel the engagement. At this time, the news of this engagement had to be spread first, then tell Lisa\'s lover that Lisa was pregnant. If her lover really loved her, he would definitely do something. If not, you have also helped Lisa to see the true nature of that man so that she won\'t depend on you anymore. All you have to do is pretend you\'re engaged until the doctor takes action," Maria said.
"Are you sure that Lisa won\'t hold me responsible?" Nico asked in a worried tone.
"Lisa doesn\'t love you and you don\'t love her," Maria said.
"Mother, if Lisa really asks me to father her child, you have to help me find a way out. I don\'t want to be a father!"
To get a portion of the shares from his grandfather, Nico had to make such sacrifices. All of this was for his own future as well as his mother\'s. This was all he could do.
And what Aiden said made sense. If you want profit, you have to sacrifice something.
\'I\'m gonna pretend to be engaged and make grandpa happy so I could get the shares,\' Nico thought.
When the time came to break the engagement, Lisa would step up so his grandfather wouldn\'t blame him.
Finally, Nico decided to listen to his mother\'s advice. What\'s important now was getting a portion of the shares from his grandfather.
If Lisa\'s lover dared to gather his strength to get Lisa back, he could cancel the engagement more easily. And they would all live happily in their own way. Wasn\'t this the same as going through three islands in just one rowing?
At ten o\'clock, Aiden and Anya hadn\'t slept when Nico called.
"Uncle, I told grandpa that Lisa is pregnant."
"Then what did he say?" Aiden asked.
"Grandpa is worried that I don\'t want to get engaged and marry Lisa. He was really angry and scared me half to death. Mother helped me to talk to him and said that the time was too short so I could get engaged first and then prepare for the wedding. Grandpa agreed," Nico said happily.
"Good. Let Lisa help you get the shares," Aiden said.
"Grandfather urged my mother to get everything prepared immediately. Even more interesting, he said that he cared about Lisa\'s family and didn\'t want this news to spread. He didn\'t want everyone to know that Lisa was pregnant out of wedlock because it was not good for her future and the child. So in the end, grandfather decided to cover all this up," Nico did not think that everything would go this smoothly.
"Nico, do you need my help to explain to Tara about this engagement?" Anya leaned closer to Aiden and asked Nico too.
"I\'m sure Tara will understand me," Nico answered.
Anya pursed her lips. "You don\'t understand women. Women can\'t think like that,"
"If Tara misunderstands, I\'ll explain again! I\'ll explain even if I have to repeat it many times," Nico laughed but his tone sounded calm.
"Alright then. If you need help, just tell me," Anya considered herself an aunt to Nico, so she was also ready to help him.
"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie doesn\'t have to do anything. Just prepare a gift for my engagement. The thicker the better," Nico said on purpose. By thicker he meant the piles of money inside the envelope.
Anya glanced at Aiden. "Very well, if you are really going to get engaged, I will give you a present!"
"Auntie, I know you are planning something bad! Auntie definitely has no intention of giving me that gift!" Nico was so smart that he could immediately figure out what his aunt was planning to do.
"Is that how you think about me? If you do get engaged, of course I will give you a present!" Anya said irritably.
"I will get engaged soon. So don\'t forget to prepare the prizes. By the way, Natali became like a devil again. She spread rumors that auntie and Uncle Ivan were secretly engaged when you were still in a relationship with Raka. But now you\'re married to Uncle Aiden," Nico said.
"Natali has gone crazy..." Anya was so irritated that her head felt dizzy.
It felt like she had stepped on something shitty and couldn\'t get rid of it anymore.
"I don\'t think Natali would admit it even if you run into her," Nico said. Then he remembered about Raka. "But I can call Raka and tell him so he can discipline his future fiancée better."
"Raka really can\'t handle his fiancée. I\'ll take care of all of this," Aiden immediately hung up.
"Why did you hang up the phone? Natali is really a devil. Luckily Nico warned us," Anya said irritably.
Aiden just kissed the top of Anya\'s head gently and said, "You are too innocent. I just said it on purpose. You can sleep in peace now and I will take care of everything. Let\'s see how Raka will deal with this,"
"Don\'t you know about the news on the internet? Everyone thinks of me as a cheap woman. Don\'t you care?" Anya asked.
"If the Mahendra family wants Deny\'s land, Raka must marry Natali. He will take care of Natali\'s problem because he doesn\'t want his family name to tarnish. If they force me to step in, of course I won\'t spare them. So, don\'t worry. You don\'t need to do anything and let Raka finish everything by himself," Aiden reached out his hand to hug Anya and pulled her into his arms.
Anya immediately understood Aiden\'s point. Right now, they didn\'t need to step in directly because someone else would do it all for them. "Aiden, you really are a big, bad wolf. You thought about everything in a very short time. I really want to see what\'s inside your head. Why are you this smart?"
"Do you want a smart child like me?" Aiden got closer to Anya.
Anya immediately panicked. She closed her eyes and said, "I\'m sleeping!"
"Who can talk in their sleep?" Aiden lowered his head and kissed Anya.
Anya\'s eyes opened and she was surprised to see Aiden\'s face right in front of her.
Aiden crushed her lips with feeling. It felt so warm, she couldn\'t fight back…
Her husband\'s lips were soft, making her feel like she was floating. Her little hand rested on Aiden\'s shoulder, but she couldn\'t push her husband\'s body away.
Aiden\'s fingers began to run down Anya\'s long hair, holding her head gently and holding it while their kiss deepened.
The temperature in the room was getting hotter. Anya\'s heart was beating like crazy.
Aiden\'s kiss made her feel self-conscious…
When she stared at Aiden\'s face silently, she could see Aiden was closing his eyes, as if immersed in the joy of their kiss.
"What did you see? Why don\'t you focus?" Aiden chuckled in her ear.
Anya also chuckled with a little embarrassment. "You look like a drunk person."
"Hmm..." Aiden replied.
"Why?" asked Anya.
"Because I really like you. I really enjoyed being with you. You are an addiction to me and you always make me drunk," Aiden held Anya\'s chin and kissed her again.
His hand moved to Anya\'s waist. Slowly, his body pressed against his wife\'s body.
Anya could feel Aiden\'s skin burning like fire.
Anya could feel her body getting hotter and melting even more. Her fair skin turned pink, making her look even more charming to Aiden\'s eyes.
"Anya, let\'s have children," Aiden hugged his wife very tightly and didn\'t want to let her go.
