Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 573
Advertisement
"I came to meet Anya and have breakfast here. Just now, I saw a lunatic in pajamas and sandals. His hair was messy and flew everywhere. If looked closely, his face looked just like yours," Tara said on purpose. When else would she have the chance to tease Nico like this?
Nico looked at Anya, asking her for help.
Anya cleared her throat softly and decided to help him. "Tara, looks like you couldn't see clearly earlier. That person wasn't Nico."
"The person you saw earlier was definitely not me. How could I go out in pajamas and sandals? I really care about my appearance, especially my hairstyle. I will not let my hair look messy," Nico said seriously.
Tara laughed hearing that. It's not easy to catch Nico looking so relaxed.
When they lived together before, Nico always paid attention to his appearance. Even at home.
"Oh, maybe I was wrong," Tara said with a grin. "You can sit and eat now, I'm done."
Tara got up and walked towards the sofa with Anya.
Nico didn't go to the dining table, he followed Tara toward the sofa instead. "Tara, are you busy tonight? I got two concert tickets. Do you want to go with me?"
"Good. Pick me up at the clinic after my working hours are over," after answering Nico, Tara turned her attention to Anya. "Just eat. I want to check Anya."
"Why are you checking on auntie? What happened to her?" Nico asked.
At the same time, Aiden came down from upstairs, "Anya has a slight fever."
Previously, he had decided not to come downstairs and wait for Tara to finish eating for fear that his presence would stress her out. He wanted to let Tara and Anya enjoy their time together.
"Oh, I'll eat then," Nico returned to the dining table and sat down.
The servants cleared Anya and Tara's food, and then served warm food for Aiden and Nico.

On the sofa, Tara was taking Anya's temperature and checking her pulse.
"You make so much love that you are exhausted. After a few days of rest, I'm sure you will be fine," Tara said calmly.
Anya was immediately embarrassed by Tara's blatant words. She hit her leg and whispered, "Lower your voice!"
"Oh come on. Everyone knows too. You went to the suburbs for one day then stayed on the island for three days. How could you not do anything there? After you found out that Aiden is going abroad today, you came to stay at his house. Don't tell me that you guys were just lying in bed chatting," Tara looked at the thermometer and said, "37.5 degrees. It's okay."
"Why do I have a fever?" Anya asked.
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Your body temperature will rise at ovulation, plus, you spend a few days making love to Aiden. Maybe fertilization is going on in your uterus so your body's a little hot. Don't worry. You're fine," Tara ensured.
Nico then secretly stared at Aiden. What did he hear just now?
Ovulation? Fertile time? Making love? Conception?
Did his uncle try to have children?
If Anya could get pregnant easily, maybe his mother's guilt and regret would be lessened.
Thinking of this, Nico hoped that Anya could get pregnant smoothly. Hopefully, what his uncle and aunt wished would be fulfilled.
Aiden ate silently, as if he didn't hear any of Tara's words.
Though he said that he didn't mind if Anya couldn't give him children before, it would be better if they could have their own.
He knew the reason why Anya was hesitant and didn't want to come back to him. It was because Anya was afraid that she would not be able to have more children. She was afraid that Aiden would hate her for not being able to bear children one day.

This uneasiness in Anya's heart couldn't just be resolved by mere promises or vows.
Anya looked like she didn't care and had forgotten everything, but she still thought about her child. While they were on the island, Anya even dreamed of their child calling her mother. At that time, she looked very sad and lonely, and really missed her child's presence.
Aiden wanted to grant Anya's wishes, including her wish to have children.
Tara made a prescription for Anya's fever then gave it to Hana. After that, she also made a recipe for vitamins and herbs for Anya for one week.
"Nico, are you still not done eating?" After she finished writing the recipe, Tara saw that Nico was still eating.
Actually, Nico had finished eating a long time ago, but he was still waiting for Tara so he pretended to eat. "Are you done? How did you get here earlier?"
"Taxi," Tara said.
"Uncle, if you don't need anything from me, I'll take Tara home," Nico got up and said goodbye to Aiden.
"Ask Ivan if there's anything you don't understand about company matters while I'm away. But don't let him get involved in the company," Aiden said with a serious look.
"Fine, uncle," Nico didn't say much and went straight with Tara.
Tara walked toward the door with Nico, but then she suddenly stopped walking. "Anya, if you are pregnant, I will accept Nico. So you also have to try."
Nico felt like crying. He heard that it was currently difficult for Anya to get pregnant. That would mean his chance of being with Tara was just very slim.
Then he whispered and asked Tara, "How likely is it that my aunt will become pregnant?"
"50 percent? The chance isn't very high. But she is in her fertile period today and her body suddenly had a fever. Her current pregnancy rate is quite high," Tara said quietly. Then she said to Anya, "I'll be back to check on you again in ten days. Eat and drink a lot. Don't forget to rest."
Anya nodded.
After Nico and Tara left, Aiden suddenly asked, "If you were pregnant, what would you do?"
"If I weren't, would you want that child?" Anya asked, looking worriedly at Aiden.
"Yes. But remember. Whether you are pregnant or not, you are the only one I want," Aiden walked towards the sofa and grabbed Anya into his arms.
They spent their day together before Aiden departed.
Anya stayed at the man's house for two days until her fever dropped, and then returned to her house. During the past two years, she rarely returned home and rarely accompanied her mother. When she found her biological parents later, maybe she would have less time for her mother.
She wanted to spend her spare time with her mother, as long as she could still serve her.
Diana felt so happy with Anya at home. Every morning and evening, she cooked a wide variety of delicious meals for her daughter, then Hana would send them lunch during the day.
Anya did not know if her health would get better if she ate regularly like this. But she felt that her skin was getting smoother and her face looked rounder.
It wasn't even a month since she returned to Indonesia, but she was getting fatter. Her cheeks looked more and more chubby. She was afraid that she would turn fat at this rate.
During lunchtime, Esther came to visit Anya.
"Can you still eat casually? I heard that Keara is pregnant!" After receiving the news, Esther immediately came and met Anya.

The information presented here is pieced together from eye-witness reports and second hand hearsay, sometimes from creatures with more than two hands. I can not tell you with any degree of accuracy how much of it is true as it begins long before our time and it's true ending lies far unto the future still. I can tell you one thing though, it was confusing as hell. Cover: Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré (1866), a thankfully public domain image. Currently on hiatus.
