Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 316
Advertisement
"Remember, Keara does not come as the daughter of the Pratama Family tonight, but Ivan's fiancée. You have to call her sister-in-law," Aiden said.
"Didn't Keara want to cancel the engagement?" Anya asked curiously.
"Have you heard she announced an official annulment of her engagement?" Aiden did not answer Anya's question.
"Not yet. But didn't she really intend to cancel it…"
"Keara had an affair with me. If it was Ivan who intended to cancel their engagement, the relationship between the Atmajaya Family and the Pratama Family would not be affected. But Ivan needed help and support from the Pratama Family. He will still marry Keara, whether he likes it or not," Aiden said, looking at Anya. "So, it's very likely that Keara will cause trouble and maybe put the responsibility for canceling the engagement on you,"
"Me? That means, she wants to cancel the engagement but doesn't want to discuss it first. Ivan needs a wife with a strong background, so he will also not take the initiative to cancel his engagement. Will Keara hurt me?" Anya felt a little confused. "What would she do?"
"I also don't know what her plan is. But you don't have to worry. I am here," Aiden said.
"How could I not be worried if Keara was mean to me? If she wants to cancel the engagement, why should she make excuses and make other people responsible for her wishes?" Anya grumbled irritably.
"Keara wouldn't dare do anything to me. She wasn't that stupid to dare to do something to Sister Maria or Nico either. She also didn't want a bad impression in front of my father. So, the only possibility is to attack you," Aiden explained.
Anya was silent for a moment. "Looks like you really know her..."
Aiden did not expect that sentence would come out of Anya's mouth. He thought his little wife was thinking about what Keara would do, but it turned out that she was jealous because Aiden could clearly understand Keara's plan.
Aiden chuckled at that, "Jealous?"
"I'm not!" Anya didn't want to admit it. But she secretly grumbled softly.
"It doesn't matter. Indeed, her appearance, family background and intelligence is extraordinary, but I prefer a small white flower suitable for home. It feels good to see," Aiden lifted Anya's chin gently and kissed her.

The little white flower Aiden was referring to was Anya. Even though Anya's body was quite tall, for a man as big as Aiden, Anya would forever remain his little wife. And Anya's white skin made her look like a white flower.
Anya's face flushed red and she immediately looked away to avoid Aiden's kiss.
Aiden bursted into laughter at his shy wife.
"A rich and powerful family like yours does have a variety of ways to match their children. Anyone who can marry Keara will get help from her family's company. Both her abilities and her family background are catering to men's needs. She doesn't have to worry about finding a life partner and she also has good taste in men," Anya said while looking at Aiden with a smile. "Unfortunately, she was late because you are mine."
Aiden laughed at that. "Are you still going to let her take me?"
"Never!" Anya said.
"Hmm... Really?" Aiden hugged his wife's body and Anya nodded in Aiden's arms.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Atmajaya Family's house.
Their car drove slowly toward the garden of the house and stopped in front of the entrance. Once they got down, they could hear laughter coming from the living room.
Aiden took Anya's hand and invited her to come inside together.
On the sofa in the first floor living room, a man Aiden's age was seen sitting, making everyone around him laugh with his jokes.
"Anya, Aiden, you have come!" Maria just came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them coming from the door. Maria immediately welcomed them with pleasure.
"Bima, is this Aiden's girlfriend now? Very beautiful. No wonder Aiden was captivated by her," Imel looked at Anya with a friendly smile.
"Brother Ivan, welcome back," Aiden seemed not to hear Imel's words and immediately focused his attention on Ivan.
Ivan's gaze was fixed on the entrance. Hearing Aiden's voice, he immediately got up to greet him.
Anya saw a man wearing a black shirt looking at them.
As their eyes met, Anya felt her breath catch a little for a moment. It really was Ivan! The older brother who had always looked after her and accompanied her since she was little…
Ivan was still as handsome as ever. A warm smile always appeared on his handsome face.

After seeing Anya, his smile froze a little for a few seconds and then he returned to normal.
"Anya, Aiden, long time no see," Ivan said, greeting them with a smile.
Only Imel realized that Ivan's hands were tightly clenched at his sides. She could only take a deep breath.
"Long? How long has it been? On the night before my father's birthday, I think I saw my brother near Mid Valley," Aiden immediately revealed the secret of Ivan's return to Indonesia.
He didn't know what Imel and Ivan were planning. In order to stop them, Aiden even made it difficult for Ivan. That's why Ivan couldn't attend Bima's birthday.
"Aiden, I haven't seen you in a long time. If I come back early, of course I will visit my father," Ivan replied calmly.
"Maybe you saw it wrong," Bima said to finish their debate.
"Today is a family dinner. I don't think Ms. Imel deserves to be in this place," Aiden looked coldly at Imel.
Imel's heart ached. It had been many years since she became Bima's lover, but she had yet to get a legal last name.
Every time she came to the Atmajaya Family house, Aiden always sneered and insulted her.
"You can bring your woman into this house, but I can't?" Bima said angrily.
"Anya is different. Meanwhile your woman…" Aiden's eyes brushed against Imel's face in disgust. "If you want to take your lover home, then just take it. Nico can also bring many of his girlfriends home. But I don't know how many lovers he has right now,"
Aiden said it on purpose, only to show that Anya was his legal wife. Meanwhile, Imel was just Bima's lover. Just like Nico who liked to play with a lot of women…
"You just want to make me angry. Why are you always against me?" Bima murmured irritatedly.
"Don't think about it, Bima. I'm fine," Imel stroked Bima's hand and tried to cheer him up.
"It doesn't matter to you if an outsider is present at the family dinner. But the Atmajaya Family members will feel uncomfortable," Nico grumbled.
He didn't want to fight with Imel. But seeing this old woman's cunning and greed, he couldn't stand it.
Nico had lost his father. He didn't like seeing his two uncles fight, what's more, his two uncles were very nice to him, like a substitute for his father figure. He only hoped that this family would live in peace.
But because of this one woman…
Because of Imel's ambition, her two uncles became enemies and couldn't live in peace.
"Nico, how can you talk to your grandmother like that?" Bima would not reprimand Aiden, but he didn't expect Nico to do the same to Imel.
"Grandfather, are you too old and senile? My grandmother died more than ten years ago," Nico laughed.
"Over the years, Imel has suffered because of me. I'm still thinking about your feelings so I didn't give her my last name. But that doesn't mean you can insult her in front of me," Bima said, hugging Imel's shoulder. "Today I called all of you not because I wanted to ask your opinion. But I want to tell you that I will marry Imel,"
Hearing that her father suddenly wanted to get married, Maria immediately said, "Father! Didn't you intend to invite Uncle Tirta and Tara to dinner tonight?"
"Tirta is not an outsider. I will ask him to be a witness to my marriage," Bima said with a smile.
Aiden looked at Nico and tried to speak with his eyes. 'Time for your acting to begin!'
After getting a signal from his uncle, Nico immediately nodded and threatened Bima. "I don't agree. Grandfather can only choose one of us. Your family or her!"
"You all are my family. I am old. I also want to have my own family and have a life partner who can accompany me. What's wrong with it? I've been living alone all this time since my wife died more than ten years ago. Now, I want Imel to accompany me."
After saying that, Bima grabbed Imel's hand and raised it. "Today, I'm not asking your opinion. Even if you guys aren't happy at all, I will still marry Imel,"

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
