Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 189
Advertisement
"Aiden, if you don't want a divorce, hurry up and have kids. With that, your wife will be useful." Bima said sarcastically as if Anya had no other use than helping Aiden to get offspring.
Anya's ears were buzzing when she heard that question. She didn't know how the topic of their conversation had suddenly shifted to her.
Having kids? She was very young herself!
She hadn't even graduated from college yet.
"Father, Anya and Aiden just got married. Don't rush into telling them to have children. Let them enjoy their world first." Maria suggested.
"Grandpa, do you want grandchildren? Here is one of your grandchildren here. Hug me!" Nico ran towards Bima spoiled and pretended to ask for a hug.
Bima immediately laughed loudly seeing the behavior of his favorite grandson, "Nico is indeed my smartest grandson since childhood."
"Grandpa, try this fish that I grilled. It must be really good!" Nico was like the 'happy virus' in the Atmajaya family. He's so cheerful and fun that it's easy to break the ice. His presence in the Atmajaya Family was very important to make up for the bad atmosphere.
"Come here. Sit next to Grandpa." Bima called him to sit in the place closest to him.
Nico immediately took the wine bottle and poured the wine for Bima, "Grandpa, try this red wine. I just stole it from Uncle's wine room."
"Nico!" Aiden snapped.
"I want to go home and eat with Grandpa today. Of course I have to bring home some fine wine for grandpa. I'm really a filial child, right!" Nico was very clever to win Bima's heart.
"Yes, yes. You are indeed grandfather's favorite grandson. It's not like someone who hides their wine and doesn't want to give it to me." Bima glanced at Aiden and then said to Nico, "Raisa doesn't deserve you. Women who can be your wives must be independent, mature and beautiful. And what's more, she must have a good background. Raisa is quite beautiful, but she's not worth it for you."

Nico laughed when he heard him, "I know Grandpa loves me and won't let me fall into a hole."
Anya watched the incident in awe. She admired Nico. How could Nico get the grim and stern Bima to agree with his opinion?
Nico and Tara once stole flowers from Tara's grandpa garden. Today, he and Tara again stole Aiden's wine.
It was clear that his character was very naughty. But he could make Bima praise him and even agree to all of his requests.
Then, Anya glanced at Aiden. Seeing Aiden's stiff and tough nature, she knew that Aiden could not possibly be spoiled in front of his elders. This could be the reason why Aiden and his father were not very close together either.
"Tara, sit next to me." Maria said warmly.
Tara immediately nodded and sat next to Maria obediently.
In the garden, Tara was very cheerful and full of enthusiasm. However, after entering the Atmajaya Family house, she looked so obedient and quiet. She never opened her mouth except when asked.
Anya was the same too. She stood beside Aiden, uttering nothing to say. Aiden would represent her whenever a conversation needed to involve them.
"Anya, sit across from me." Maria said.
Bima sat at one end of the table, indicating that he was the head of the house's family. Nico took the first seat on the right, followed by Maria and Tara who were farthest away so he felt very comfortable.
After that, Maria arranged for Aiden to sit on the first chair to the left of Bima and then Anya next to him. The place was too close to Bima so the pressure felt by Anya was very high.
Aiden held Anya's hand while his other hand held the table. He immediately walked across to Maria, but left the first seat empty.
He sat on the second seat, while Anya sat on the third seat, right in front of Tara.
Anya breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that her seat was far from the first place. At least, she could calm down a little.

Bima looked at the empty position beside him and said to Aiden sarcastically, "If you really don't want to be around me, why are you coming home?"
Home? Aiden never even considered this place his home.
"I just want to meet Anya with my sister-in-law." Aiden said calmly, leaving Bima speechless.
Anya was stunned for a moment. Aiden and Bima couldn't even speak calmly without fighting.
"Can the food be served?" One of the servants asked Maria.
Maria immediately nodded. She then gestured for the servants to start serving their food.
When the food was served on the table, Nico immediately cut it and got the food for Bima, "Grandpa, try this meat! Which one is better? This meat or my fish?"
"The fish you grilled before was very good, but this one is not well-cooked." Bima opened the center of the fish with a fork and the fish meat looked raw.
"Dad, the fish Anya made earlier. If you like it, would you like Anya to make it for you again?" Maria said with a smile.
"Okay. Let Anya cook this fish again. This fish is still raw." Bima said, pushing the plate in front of him.
Anya was about to stand up but Aiden immediately held her shoulder, "Where are you going? You have to help me eat."
"Nico, sit next to your uncle and help him eat." Bima said, indicating that he wanted Anya to come out and cook the fish.
Only Anya didn't understand what was happening. She thought Bima really liked her fish.
But actually, Bima did this on purpose so that Anya didn't join the lunch with the rest of the family.
"Dad, I'll make it later." Maria said.
Anya was grateful for Maria's understanding, but she chose to follow Bima's order. Besides, she felt cramped in the room. It was better to get some fresh air outside.
Even though Aiden tried to block her, Anya stood still and approached Bima. She took Bima's plate and said, "It's okay. Eat first. I'll come back after cooking the fish."
When she passed Tara she asked, "Tara, do you also want to cook your fish?"
"I'll come with you." Tara immediately took the opportunity to leave the table. It felt like her ass was being pricked with a needle. She could not sit comfortably in the room.
After the two women left, everyone at the dining table could only look at each other.
"Eat." As if nothing had happened, Bima raised his fork and started eating, "Today's food is delicious."
"Eat, Father. I will see Anya and Tara." Maria got up and left the table too.
Nico did not move from his place. He didn't want to sit next to Aiden, didn't want his uncle to bully him.
"Why do you hate her so much?" Aiden asked.
"She took a place that didn't belong to her. That's why she deserves this treatment. An outcast from Tedjasukmana Family wants to sleep on your bed. How could I let her become the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family? Only in a dream!" Bima sneered.
"I don't need your permission to marry. If you don't respect my wife, I won't respect you either." Aiden got up and looked coldly at Bima, "I'm not coming to your birthday party."
"Do you dare to do it?" Bima grunted loudly.
"We will see!" Aiden turned and walked towards the garden. He walked very calmly, his every step was resolute. He didn't look like a blind man at all.
"Nico, your uncle..."
"His eyes could only see what he wanted to see. Uncle is still recovering, not fully recovered." Nico said.
Bima sneered when he heard that, "He can't see me because he doesn't want to see me."
"Grandfather, why can't you make up with Uncle? He really cares about his wife, why don't you just approve of their relationship?" Nico also thought that his grandfather had gone too far.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
