Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 114
Advertisement
"This city has so many doctors and yet my uncle just let this woman take care of him. Aren't you suspicious, Auntie?" Nico said.
Anya's head buzzed again. Was there really something between Aiden and Tara? Did Tara like Aiden? Did Aiden also like Tara so that he allowed the woman to remain his personal doctor?
"Auntie, auntie..." Nico called Anya many times, bringing Anya back from her reverie.
"Thank you for telling me. If you are busy, go first." Anya replied quietly. Nico just shook his head when he found his aunt insisted on meeting Tara.
He had tried to help his aunt, but Anya didn't want to listen to him. He better just went home.
After Nico's car disappeared, Tara immediately got out and greeted Anya warmly, "Anya, come quickly. I want to show you something!" She said cheerfully.
When thinking back to what Nico said, Anya felt uncomfortable meeting Tara. However, the woman in front of her did not notice her awkward attitude at all. She immediately put her arm around Anya's arm and took her to enter the clinic.
Anya could only follow her helplessly even though bad feelings started to fill her heart.
Tara took Anya to the reception desk, where a flower pot stood proudly on the table.
Anya brought her head closer and took a closer look at the flower. Anya loved plants so much that she forgot her bad feelings. Now, her attention was focused on the pot in front of her, "Is this a Saussurea? Snow lotus?" Anya asked.
"You really are smart! Nico and I went to my grandfather's garden and stole it!" Tara said excitedly.
Steal flowers? Given Nico's mischievous behavior, it wasn't hard to imagine it. What's more, Aiden was not currently in Indonesia. Nico's wandering around seemed completely rampant.
However, she just noticed something was odd. It seemed, Tara had traits similar to that of her niece.
"Don't you have a flower garden? Take this flower and plant it in your garden!" Tara's eyes were fixed on the snow lotus.

The white color of the flower reminded her of snow. The flowers were truly beautiful and a pleasant to look at.
Seeing the plants made Anya's heart feel calmer. She smiled as she looked at the snow lotus in front of her, "I like it too. But the growth of this flower is very long. It is said that it took five years for this flower to bloom…"
"This flower takes a long time to grow due to the influence of the surrounding environment. If you plant it and take care of it yourself, regulate the temperature and the environment, this flower will grow fast." Tara interrupted.
"I can ask Nico to find a professional florist who can take care of it. As long as we take good care of it, we can produce this flower in large quantities." Anya immediately called Nico after saying that.
"Auntie, I've already left. What's wrong?" Nico asked after picking up the call quickly.
"What about my request? Have you found it?" Anya asked.
"Yes. Didn't Harris tell you?" Nico asked in surprise.
"Maybe Harris forgot. He's got a lot of work to do lately. Can you find someone who can take care of the snow lotus?" Anya asked.
"Did that woman give you the snow lotus and tell you to plant it in your garden? She must have done it on purpose so that she would have the opportunity to visit the house. This must be her plan!" Said Nico.
Tara could hear what Nico said from beside Anya. She asked permission from Anya to answer the accusation, "Mr. Nico, don't accuse me carelessly. What do you mean by my plan?"
"You like my uncle, right? You think I don't know?" Nico immediately said it bluntly.
"Huh? Do you think I'm crazy? Your uncle is so cruel. I still want to live longer!" Tara said angrily. She even forgot to call Nico polite because she was too angry.
"So you don't like my uncle?" Nico asked suspiciously.

"I like his money. I like his build and face, but I don't like his character." Tara said bluntly.
"You just like the outside! You don't like my uncle!" Nico suddenly realized it.
"Don't try to influence Anya! She easily believes in others. And don't say any more nonsense. I'm not interested in your Uncle." Tara said irritably.
"What about me?" Asked Nico.
"You? Ha ha ha… Don't ask anything ridiculous." Tara immediately hung up the phone impolitely.
Anya looked at Tara with narrowed eyes, feeling strange about the conversation between Tara and Nico, "Does Nico... like you?" She asked.
Tara just snorted when she heard the question, "I don't have time to play around with him.
"Nico said, you and Aiden ..."
"Stop! I'm not interested in your lover." Tara immediately interrupted the words Anya wanted to say, "It's true that I was attracted by his handsome face and great body. What's more, Aiden is very rich. What kind of woman would not be attracted to him? But hearing that he was so cruel, I didn't have the guts to approach him! I don't want to die young!"
What good was someone's good looks or wealth if that person wasn't helpful? Living with a man like Aiden must be like living in hell.
Anya chuckled when she heard Tara's words, "Actually Aiden is very nice."
Her answer didn't work to make Tara believe in her. Instead, she looked at Anya with pity, "Do you have a tendency to be dominated? Are you that type of woman?"
Anya's face immediately turned red. Why did Tara suddenly talk about her sex life? "I am not lying! Aiden is really nice to me. He never played with me at all. Really!" Anya said seriously.
Tara just laughed when she heard Anya's explanation, but she still didn't believe it. How could such a cold and creepy man turn out to be such a good person?
While they were talking, Abdi came to them with a package that had been left behind. Anya just realized that she only brought one pack of food, while the other packages of food were left in the car because she was in a hurry to meet Nico.
"Madame, I missed this." Abdi said. Apart from bringing the food packages that were left behind, Abdi also brought a basket of food that was still warm. Apparently, it was food from Hana.
Anya immediately thanked him.
Tara's eyes lit up when she saw the package of food Anya had brought. Apart from being straightforward and money-loving, Tara was also a food lover!
Anya didn't know why she liked Tara's character even more. Tara was not like most two-faced women. This woman was very honest!
"Let's eat together!" Tara said excitedly. Without being shy, her hands began to open the packages in front of her one by one and also packed the food that should have belonged to Anya.
Anya already liked Tara so she didn't mind when Tara did what she wanted. Apart from that, she also felt bad that Tara gave her this precious snow lotus, "This flower…"
"It's okay! I took it from my grandfather's place. He still has many other pots!" Tara said while busy unwrapping food.
The smell of food immediately spread within the room, making their stomachs feel hungry. The food was still warm and the aroma was very delicious.
"Wow! Looks like you sure are spoiled!" Tara shouted.
"Aiden is not as cold and cruel as people said. He's really good to me!" Said Anya, raising her eyebrows.
"Yes, maybe he's spoiling you now. But he could also just throw you away. If you don't want to be hurt, it's better not to get involved with him." Tara said casually.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
